    I hope they finish the minibots. I’d love a on card Powerglide, Cliffjumper, Cosmos, Seaspray.

    All of them really.

    If they release Seaspray, I’ll need 3 of him just to mimic how many times I got him for a birthday gift as a kid.

    I'd stash a ton of these guys in my pockets to take places, just like old times.

    Finally found Warpath at a Walmart in North Oklahoma City this morning (was killing time waiting for Target up the street to open so I could get Vintage Collection Stormtrooper Han). I'd seen Gears a couple months earlier when he was still register-locked (though someone had already managed to get all the Warpaths then also, got Gears a couple weeks after this incident). Hit a couple other Walmarts on the way out of town and they only had Gears (plus Bee, Tailgate, Swerve...). So Warpath does seem to be selling quickly.

    Brawn is not an "easy repaint" of Outback. Brawn uses a whole different torso piece and arms.

    Ebay:
    Any word of these in Canada? Really want these 2 for my collection, but nothing seems to be showing up in store or online. They're already discounting trailerless prime. Hope this isn't a sign they've given up on this line in Canada. The devastators and starscreams seemed to sell out instantly.

    Nah, we know they're already planning Astrotrain for 2020. Soundwave and the cassettes are also definitely coming.

    Think of it like this. I picked up several Cyberverse trailered Optimus Primes for $5 each after the holiday (I'm gonna sit on that egg for about ten years and see how it pans out). That doesn't mean Cyberverse was getting canceled...it just means Walmart has no further plans for that particular figure.

    I finally got Gears and Warpath when I went to Utah for FanX several weeks ago. A friend from CA went to every Walmart in the area and picked up both for me. To this day, I've still never seen Gears or Warpath on the pegs. I saw 6 Bee's and a couple of Swerve's the other day, but nothing more. I guess I was lucky to see Devy and Starscream on two separate occasions.

    I think that would be been a better bet if that Optimus wasn't so bad. Of course, I think that was half my problem with the store. It's less about selling the best toys than the cheapest.

    Be careful out there if you plan on purchasing any of these on ebay. I just got a knock off Warpath.

    Aren't Australian/NZ consumer details standard now on multi-purpose US packaging?

    Also, didn't Australia get the wave 1 figures... in European packaging? How odd.

    How do you know it's a knockoff?
