Thirded!

 

Yeah ID toys have confirmed Smyths are getting the Netflix stuff. They are only getting Hubcap.

 

No, it's my addled fixated brain, Bud, Nemesis Prime makes entire sense but does that mean an ER Nemesis Prime because it's a Leader Class pack, I wonder?
Oh, wait! Could it be Galaxy Upgrade Prime in Nemesis Colours?! CRAP! I'd be up for that!!!

 

But if you had Hubcap and not Bumblebee because you got the wrong tiny mini yellow car/robot as a present from a relative the you learned to like him.

 

The current Netflix stuff seems to be fairly easy to get from Smyths, so hopefully the next wave will be too.

 

With online SDCC being next week I can see why Hasbro haven't blown their full load today so the news on Rotorstorm's head and a Hubcap pre-order is more than enough for me.

Black Series reveals/pre-orders were underwhelming because the only SW cartoon I will buy figures from is Ewoks  

 

Autobot alliance up at Amazon.com

Edit: Ordered with seeker elite

 

As long as you didn't order them to ship together....

 

Is there a link anywhere it won't come up for me whatever search combo I put in......

Edit: nevermind I fudged a way through. Secured prowl, will worry about Der Cones if they turn up at retail here.

More edit: Kapow have just dispatched The Jets and GI SnakeEyes. Whoop!

New Rotorstorm head is a decent improvement... more tempted than I was to preorder... him and Hubcap are both maybes.

Can't believe that, at long last, we're getting a Bug Bumblebee! The Classics release will be moved to the Cybertron shelf to represent his armoured-up IDW1 self, I'll have to get a cane for him.

Might have to save for Dirge and Ramjet. What do you all reckon the chances are of them ever making it over here otherwise? Tough call - the Sideswipe Clone 2pack eventually came over in great numbers, Skywarp.... did not.

I like, but am not tempted by, Elita-1 and the other Netflix ones. Same goes for the Quint pack - although it does look magnificent, it's not something I need to own. I can just admire it from afar, like titan Scorponok  

 

Ta folks, much appreciated.

It's all 'appening!  

 

Don’t know...  don’t think so

edit: yes, two shipments  

 

See, I thought that, but then I remembered it's a spoiler box, which would mean nemesis galaxy op being in the show?

 

I pre-ordered the Seekers too, $85 is expensive for 2 voyagers, but I'm quite sure we won't find a better deal on this side of the ocean...

 

The Seeker Elites look rather nice don’t they. I’m down for a bit of Dirge and Ramjet action. Just hope Thrust is available as I had the original G1 as a kid. That will really get the nostalgia juices flowing for me.

 

For a long time even I thought I owned Bee!
...

So the reveals...

Seems Warden has a story for the Exhaust misspelling.

Whoever Mark was... Can I have some?

Really liked the renders for the Netflix repaints. Prime could be epic, offhand Impactor looks like the Hound of the wave but then I thought Mark said they'd gone metallic with it? My guess is tarted up Astrotrain for the spoiler pack. They'll eventually dirty up Bumblebee. Would it have killed them to give him a proper gun? It's only there to hide the price gouging.

Hubcap's shinyness will blow the naysayers away! Lol

Soundwave/cassettes look fantastic and of course will be a **** to get even in Walmart itself. Wankers all around!

The Amazon exclusives as figures are fantastic, but the practice is ****yness of the highest order.

Really not jumping through hoops for that movie pack, I just don't have any real connection to the movie and it'll be super expensive whatever for basically two figures I'll already own, one I don't especially care for and two pencil toppers. And will it actually connect to WFC or is that just a fake branding opportunity? Suspect the latter.

 

I think Saint Warden couched that quote by saying Bee wouldn't be a repaint of Cliffjumper in Earthrise.

And technically he's a fairly heavy retool/remold and in the Netflix exclusive line not WFC ER mainline...

He's almost politician level with the truthiness.

 

Not using Siege Prime as Prime literally from Siege is dumb. His paintjob has better look super nice in hand to justify his existence in any way whatsoever.

Whoever it is, there’s armour for them listed in the box contents, so Shockers, Astrotrain OR a gussied-up Nemesis Prime it is.

Preordered Hubcap because a) he’s a Wrecker and b) he’s cheap.

Couldn’t afford to pay upfront for the two Amazon packs so no doubt I’ll get bumraped by some unscrupulous reseller once they’re actually out.

On the whole, vastly uninteresting tbh, and that guy was super irritating. Like some kind of stoner hipster hybrid. I bet he plays in an extreme Yo-Yoing squad or Hackysack league.

I can’t help but wonder if they had every intention of doing a Bee that has his own mold but things went all POTP with the rush to finish ER and get Kingdom ready and they just went ‘meh, fuck it’.
