Well, I don't think you'll have to worry about Springer seeing as there's no Studio Series listing for him. At most I think if he did see a re-release they might recolor him without the battle damage. I'd probably replace my Siege one for a clean one. Not a fan of the battle damage but the figure itself is fantastic.

 

Blitzwing?

 

I hope not. I really really would like a good Perceptor.

Do all retailers hire Transformers fans for these meetings? I doubt your average executive or whatever knows who is not obscure beyond Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee, maybe Starscream...

Hopefully it has at least battlemaster level articulation though?

He was in the assortment for the 35th ann display though. I regret not snagging a second one as it was the only time I saw him in a store. I got my Springer online.

 

Not that nitty-gritty. But I think they have to demonstrate, to some extent, a level of variety in the planned waves so that the shelves don't look stagnant.
