Yes, mould making is by far the most expensive step, they cost the kind of money you'd dream of spending on a supercar. As such that part of the process is the point of no return, hence why lots of stuff gets canned just before having moulds made and conversely if a mould has been made then they pretty much have to release it or they've wasted an awful lot of money.

Turbo Tracks looks like someone stepped on the front end. Not so obvious in that last pic but he's just a tragic shape.

On the subject of CHUG seekers, I'd rather see a re-release of all three primary seekers before more of the lesser known ones. Some of us didn't get a chance to get ANY of them

Generations Wreck-Gar? Nice! Now give us Generations Arcee and we'll have the whole 1986 movie cast ready.

Those numbers are the UPCs, not anything specific to Walmart.

6-53569 seems to designate a Hasbro product. I believe the next 5 digits are determined by when the product code is registered. You will see GIJoe, Star Wars, My Little Pony, or other products with numbers very close to those of TFs, and all of them will start with 6-53569. I don't think one can reliably determine to which TF subline an item belongs using the UPC.

Watch people explode if Wreck Gar turns out to be a HftD figure AND a garbage truck!

As for TC, sure, they should eventually put him out, but the Henkei one was in stock for quite some time on bbts and wasnt $75. Sunstorm and Slipstream, in my opinion, should get figures before another TC since they haven't had a single CHUG figure while TC has had two, albeit limited, releases.

I know of a gentleman selling Botcon Thundercracker.. he wants $450 for it. I'd much rather purchase the same basic toy @ TRU for $12.99
I'd also take TC over another background nobody like Acid Storm any day.

So Prime and Bumblebee are getting more toys? We need a new Megatron, he's getting seriously shortchanged in the RotF and HftD lines.

^ There's an additional Megatron listed in the United line, so there may indeed be a new one coming.

we need a better G1 representation in a deluxe form of Megatron, instead of all the
tank BS, even if he has to have an orange barrel tip and look more like the NERF gun,
than the Walther P-38, but seriously....without the damn wings please!!!!! and more G1
Black, White & Red colors, Megatron in Florescent green.....damn!, not to mention is one
of the only Classics, to have incorrect eye color.

And Thundercracker again, needs to be done, at the $12.99 Hasbro price point,
to say again, no matter what price above $13 not many are going to be able to
get, so basically to hell with the Henkei, and Botcon versions, bring on the Generations TC, besides to me the Botcon one looks like crap.
