    Did anyone else watch the Hasbro Pulse reveal video today? I was a bit disappointed. After seeing Hubcap among other upcoming exclusive appear online, I was hoping he would be in this mix. I did order the weapons/accessories pack, even though allot of people are complaining it is stuff that should have come with the figures.
    What do you guys think?

    Ordered two Centurions before the price went up. The only thing that might loosely "bother" me about some of the pieces of the accessory pack is just that it took long enough to happen that I've already provided myself with aftermarket equivalents. But I'm not in it all that much for the Box Of Things; that's just an interesting bonus coming with my Centurions that I wanted since the first day we saw Brunt.

    I had a surprise show up this afternoon. Again I went with the premium price on eBay and I can’t contain my joy. I haven’t even transformed it yet to base mode lol. Such a fun toy. I will warn you though. When you get it, makes sure you put the tail on right( I put it on backwards and it has some thin plastic back there and could cause damage and issues....

    Much better robot action figure than Cerebros, even if it is smaller. But Zarak is right on par with the Titans Return Decepticon Headmasters, so that works out more or less perfectly. I don't have the means to shoot Scorponok right now, but I did get a few other photos of Zarak and stuck them on a page together.

    Scorponok is really good though. So far it's all of the positive handling experiences from Omega Supreme, and there may not be any drawbacks to it. I still wish it was half the size and sold as a Commander, but I'm really happy with it.

    Jealous. Scorponok was my first and only city bot as a kid. Still have him (sorta, missing most accessories and zarak).

    I love it I saw this on ebay a few days ago and I was so tempted to pick this up but unfortunately I had to pay taxes this year and it was a bit much this year, but this figure is one that I've been waiting for, for a long time. I had G1 scorponok when I was a kid it was given to me from my cousin who had it before hand luckily it had everything complete can't wait to pick this up when it comes out

    I knew they wouldn't be on the shelves yet since I've been watching the in stock inventory slowly creeping to the east coast but there are no seeker or clone packs on the shelves yet in Chattanooga. Both Targets have set up end cap displays for Earthrise stuff with placeholders for the exclusives so hopefully it won't be much longer before we actually get them out here. Also, if you need any of Earthrise wave 1 still the Hamilton Place Target has everything including Optimus Prime and Starscream if you still need them.

    I was disappointed. I thought there was supposed to be 5 reveals. Already knew about Centurion, Tigertrack is lame & Rotorstorm is nothing special. I ordered 1 Centurion before the price went up & 2 Rotorstorms. I got an extra in case I feel like making a custom Whirl. The parts box is a nice bonus, I mainly want the tiny Megatron, Shockwave, Reflector & Soundwave.

    And yes! The stuff should have come with the figures. Just like Knok & Skar should have been included with Doubledealer instead of being sold separately. Hasbro has been finding sneaky ways to get extra money off us.

    Looks great! Can’t wait for him to come out.

    As for the extra parts box coming out...anybody else think they should have put Hound’s missile in there before some of the stuff they did put in there? He looks weird without it.

    I'm a bad example here, but since I got my order in when the price was still $20, I'm perfectly happy with this as a free box of goodies with a Deluxe I was going to buy anyway. :D

    Finally caught the seekers on Target's site during one of the... either 8 or 10 brief restocks that happened between 3am and 7:30 this morning.

    As goes in-store, Atlanta, as well as Fayetteville, NC both were showing a small amount of inventory early this morning, so it does look like southeast distribution is finally starting to happen, even if not right around here quite yet.

    Just went by the Franklin Target, they have plenty of Earthrise Astrotrains, and they have Earthrise Optimus, no ER Deluxes but they did have a stray Grapple, no sign of any stickers or labels for the Seeker pack or Clone pack kinda depressing since other areas are starting to or have received them already ohh well just gotta keep my eyes on brickseek and popfindr

    Check for an end cap with Transformers. That seems to e were they are setting a space with the stickers holders.

    Also, look for an end cap anywhere in the toy section. One of my Targets had it set up on a back end cap many aisles away from the normal Transformers section.

    I didn't think to do that but since the Franklin Target has a massive back stock of siege figs I figured they wouldn't have them ready yet, I mean they finally got wave 1 of earth rise in

    Yea I'll have to look when I go back

    I know right I wonder what's going to happen when MPM Starscream comes out how hard its going to find that figure

    The website is saying Brentwood Target has "limited stock" of the seekers right now, for anyone nearby who wants to take a gamble on if it's actually there or not.
