    That is true, but Amazon has been on my bad side since they screwed me on my previous pre orders.

    So you're telling me the prime armor hand guns were $10? No wonder PotP was so poor normally

    Pointblank SO should have taken the place of Prowl and the Datsuns in Siege (especially since his car mode looks Cybertronian already). They could have based his mold off of P/CP, and then done a couple repaints to fill in the slots of the other Datsuns.

    Ah, I see. That makes sense. Well, if it helps, Amazon doesn't charge for pre-orders until they actually ship. So you have until March to pay for (or cancel) it.

    Don’t front Walmart wave 3 getting canceled is on their incompetent asses, but please keep blaming it on the Voldemort, just like everything else.

    Well huh. This is not unlike that Siege three pack with the transparent blue Mirage. Something I'll leave for a bored rainy day where I have shopping bug, but not regret missing if it sells out. I'll hope for a scuffed up and dirty Netflix Barricade and not worry about it otherwise since he's well represented in my collection by the Siege mold.

    Wow. What a disappointment. I was really hoping for Pointblank or Drift from PCP.

    Dammit. I was going to pass on ER Barricade as I thought the Purple windowed Siege version was better while differentiating him enough from the ER Autobot Datsun Bros, but of course they had to group him up with one of the best selects from 2018. Well, I always wanted two so I could display both Punch and Counterpunch...

    That said, the yellow plastic on this version feels off. That color combo is giving me Generations Nightbeat vibes honestly. Also the lack of red makes for a less exciting paint job overall. Preordering but if money gets tight probably be near the top of my cancellation list.

    They are hamstrung with a budget allocated per figure sadly.

    And the Primemaster (which imho was never really needed) :cry

    Prima looked pretty nice though. That was the one he came with right?

    Yup. And they released another Prima(own both versions). If those extras were knocked off and the price difference focused on just the figure, we could have had the both character's G1 weapons. Again water under the bridge. Now, I'm hard pressed on who'm to assign this. Punch or Counterpunch (shiny CP or bright colored CP) or the reversed.

    I think the brighter colors of this one work better for Punch while the darker and the red rims of the wheels make Counterpunch stand out better and look more Decepticony.

    Well Ive been debating if I wanted Siege Barricade or the ER version...but this answered it for me. I previously was leaning toward Siege since I think the rougher, more angular head sculpt fit him better. However, I missed out on Punch/Counterpunch before so guess that settles it for me.

    Thanks, I pre order some stuff from amazon before and well they cancelled it for some reason even though I had the money and everything. You can kinda say Amazon screw me on the Earthrise Ramjet and Dirge set and I am nervous that my Ironhide and Prowl could be next if they do cancelled it.Plus Amazon customers service sucks, but that's my experience with Amazon. Thanks for letting me know anyways.
