    Not a fan of the windshield, but considering I\'d be keeping this guy in robot mode for the most part, that\'s no dealbreaker. This is a fantastic looking use of that mold.

    Someone at Walmart's getting fired for incompetence.

    Just Googled the release of the movie and shows 7/3/85 so if the intention was to open pre-orders on the release date, that ain't today.

    Now, I need to convince myself this is true.

    Lol. Walmart doesn't FIRE for incompetence. That's like the main quality they look for in a new candidate.

    I really dig it. Too bad it's a Walmart exclusive. I know my chances are somewhere between slim and none. Probably more towards none.

    Are there gonna be other options for finding him short of the scalp-a-thon I'm sure he'll produce?

    Ah, I see it now, but given all the hollowness with detail it also feels like something he cobbled together.

    Yes. this is just the initial batch. He will be on Pulse and other retailers in October. This is the only way to get the x/1985 numbering. It would be cool to get but not the end of the world for me.

    If the story is correct, Hasbro Pulse will have a non-limited version for sale after. So yeah, you'll have one if you don't care for the limited number.

    So don't get it then. No need to get OCD about scale. I'm all for a larger figure.
