Walmart website said the Delaware store had Sentinel Prime and Scrapper in stock, but swinging by there this morning revealed nothing but three each of SS Megs and Mixmaster. They did have a few each of the Earthrise voyagers if anyone is looking for them.
Walmart on Colerain Avenue near 275 had the Netflix Deluxes and voyager sets. Got the only Hotlink, Mirage, and Scrapface. Everything else was left. This was yesterday afternoon.
I didnt see anything, I didnt even think about them until I was at the register (as I probably wont buy them), but I didn't see them. I'll like be there again saturday to grab groceries for a family member, so I can check again then.
I was hoping Brickseek would be accurate with the deluxe and voyagers as it was with Ultra Magnus. But that’s not the case.
I’m likely only getting Megatron from the Netflix figures. Hotlink doesn’t do enough for me to warrant an 8th Siege Seeker, and Sideswipe is the only deluxe I’m considering but leaning towards no. Megatron’s deco looked cool but being able to reunite Crosshairs and Pinpointer was what sold me. Lionizer is an added bonus
Penpointer was the main reason I wanted Megatron. I found both Voyagers today. The only 2 at Troy Walmart.
Wow... I guess I've been "out of the loop" as far as the new "Netflix" Transformers. I started collecting Transformers again in August of 2019 and my goal was basically to collect the modern versions of my entire G1 Transformers collection. I've really liked the majority of all of the bots that I've picked up since I started collecting again and given that I'm a disabled United States Marine (who is also a paraplegic and unable to drive); I have to make tough decisions when it comes to which bots I'll be looking to purchase with the small amount of extra cash that I have from my monthly disability check. Because of the decisions that I make I am still "behind" on both the Siege bots that I'd like to have in my collection so it stands to reason that I'm also WAY behind on my Earthrise bots. The point my stroke (three separate strokes so far) addled brain is attempting to get to is this... I didn't realize that a lot of the new Earthrise/Netflix bots are really just "repaints/redecos" of the bots that I've already picked up. Some of the bots that I'm referring to are bots like Mirage and Megatron. Sure, I do like the way both Megatron and Mirage look in the Netflix versions but....BUT..... there is no world in my mushy brain where Mirage should ever... EVER be a Decepticon...unless maybe he's spying on the Decepticons for the Autobots in the new Netflix series (whihc, by the by.... looks awesome....but they better NOT kill off or ruin Ultra Magnus or I am gonna go nuclear balistic postal). One thing that having a lot of the upcoming new bots just being "redecos" or repaints means that I'll be able to pick up some of the Siege and Earthrise bots that I have yet to add to my collection and grab the few new bots like Wheeljack, Cliffjumper, Grapple and Hoist etc from Earthrise on up (I already have Grapple and the new Optimus and Prime is so sweet standing next to my Siege Optimus and Ultra Magnus). I might eventually pick up a few of the repaints or reissue bots but I am primarily interested in completing my modern realization of my G1 collection that I had to sell about 21 years ago.....and it was a grand collection. I had everything up to the end of the Beast Wars stuff.....and yes it was nearly an entire "loose" collection but all of those bots looked so great on the shelves in my toy room with all 18 of my 24 inch tall vintage Shogun Warriors on the top shelf. and then surrounded by my massive vintage Micronauts....things were good back then. lol. Anyways...so is there a list somewhere or photos that show all of the Transformers that are going to be part of the Earthrise and Netflix runs or are they just considered part of the same run or what? I'm just curious because I'd like to make a list and keep track of bots that I definitely want to get and that will help me further to be able to pick up the remaining Siege bots that I still need to get. Sorry for the lengthy post fellas.
Apparently in the show Mirage will infiltrate the Decepticon ranks in an attempt to convince Impactor to abandon them and join the Autobots.
Have a day off today, anyone seen any of the Walmart Netflix guys (lookin for Megatron) in Youngstown area?
Swung by the Target on Olentangy River Road earlier today--absolutely no ER except for a couple of the Micromasters. Lots of Siege and SS Voyagers and Leaders, though.
Indeed! I like that site now too! Thank you very much. That site is very helpful. On a side note I just received a package from Megalopolis and inside were three of the Siege bots that I really drug my ass on picking up. I was debating for so long whether I wanted the three of them or not...and then when I happened to be checking on Megalopolis I noticed that all three were on sale for too good of a price for me to continue to say no to them. lol. Anyways, I picked up Barricade, Ricochet and Nightbird. Although i never had any of these three bots back in the day or whatever....I kept thinking that both Ricochet and Barricade would look SO cool sitting next to Prowl, Red Alert, Sideswipe and the rest of the car bots. Now that I have finally seen both Barricade and Ricochet in person for the first time... I have to say that they are both very, VERY nice looking bots in Robot form alone. I love the color combinations. I have yet to transform Nightbird into her vehicle mode but in all honesty....her robot mode is so radically different looking than the rest of the good and bad bots from Siege. However, to be fair, it is my understanding that Nightbird's design is supposed to be an interpretation/extrapulation of how the bot might have looked in the Siege line IF she had existed there. SO, when i think about Nightbird in that context.... her design is much more understandable... considering that Nightbird was originally created by a human scientist if I recall correctly (which i totally could be remembering wrongly here with the way my brain malfunctions anymore so feel free to correct me fellas). I am definitely going to get on the Nonnef site and order Nightbird's weapon kit in the yellow color I think. Now that I'm reading their instuction sheets... i cannot believe how stupid I am. I had NO idea that Ricochet was capable of becoming part of a Combiner robot.....I guess the reason that I didn't know that fact is that since I started collecting again last August I have tried to just get figures from the Siege line forward... although I have made exceptions like when I saw Prowl and picked him up at a steep discount. Folks were telling me to simply wait for the next set (Earthrise) and most likely there would be an updated Prowl. However, the more I looked at photos of Prowl....the more I liked the design from the WFC-S23 Prowl. So much that I ended up getting him on the cheap and never regretting it. Now I need to get the new Wheeljack (and even Cliffjumper although I WISH that he were still a red, VW Beetle) to go with the rest of the sportscar bots in my display. I do have another question. AM I the only fella who truly misses the little "bio blurbs" that used to be on each card or box for a Transformer. The blurbs didn't contain all that much infor but still it was still a small portion of the bigger story of the Autobots and Decepticons.
Picked up Scrapper and 2 Botbots Series 5 5 packs at Oakley. I got the last Scrapper and I got a replacement for my poor Wasabi Breath who got ran through the spin cycle. I went in for ice cream
