    The front window is terrible. Just say it. I'm going to buy it, but it looks terrible.

    I see the R.E.D line up for preorder but I'm not sure if I want to bite. Most of the TF Exclusives have made it just fine to shelves in my area and I hear nothing but horror stories about Walmart shipping. Should I still preorder or just hunt down at retail?

    Siege Sideswipe had dark windows for a reason. Using clear plastic shows the horrible hollow supports. It looks really, really awful on Gigawatt.

    This is a rare instance where a Toyhax window cover would help. Numerous people have reported issues with painting over clear plastic on Siege figures, resulting in melted / crumbled plastic.

    Paint has solvent in order to stay liquid. The current clear plastic appears to be quite sensitive to paint solvents. I would assume water based paints shouldn't have that problem but I'm not going to test (also leaves too many streaks and takes way too long to dry).

    It worked for a few(?) minutes when Azt posted the newer link. I was able to sign up for a in-stock email notification.

    Oh, I know. I was just being a bit snarky because like I think only 1 of my preorders from Walmart has ever been fulfilled without problems. Probably should have added that clarification in parentheses.

    Somebody in the other thread mentioned their associates ran their bots so nobody stood a chance in getting in an order. :oops: 

    Think Hasbro confirmed it's sold out.

    Yeah, Hasbro confirmed that it's sold out. Limit was 12 per person and people were using bots, so it sold out almost instantaneously.

    Thankfully the wide release version appears to be identical besides a number on the box.

    Thank god. I thought they weren't gonna do the retro boxes. Now I want two again as the box was one of the best parts of Ectotron.

    Everybody let’s take a vow to not buy any of the BttF Walmart exclusive, unless you can get them from Walmart at retail price or lower. At the very least we can identify the bots.

    Or just not order from Walmart.com. After the whole Netflix Siege figures debacle, I have no desire to pre-order figures from the website ever again.

    Are the Netflix Deluxes able to be searched by individual SKU or is there an assortment SKU I need to be using? I tried using the individual SKUs on Brickseek but none of them show as in-stock while voyagers do.

    Wal-Mart had Netflix Mirage and Scrapface in stock this morning. Got them in the cart then notified they were out of stock. Between Wal-Mart and Target, I'm seeing a trend here. :banghead:

    Just so you guys know. Walmart items take up to 24 hours to update on their website. So, things will 'look' like they are in stock. But, you can't check out with them because they are in fact not actually in stock. You weren't ninja-ed there. The items just were actually sold out, but still showing in stock on their website.

    Fun bit of history from the old Star Trek toy line in the 90s (seemed somewhat relevant):
