    Man, confession time. I totally had an Earthrise Soundwave on preorder, but with christmas coming up and everything, the 49.99 just looked like too much. He's a figure I already have the MP for and the reissue and countless 3rd party smaller scale versions and...he's not even supposed to be a character I "collect." So I let it go. Those hollow arms haunted me anyway. It hurt to do and took me three days to work up the gumption. Seeing all the ongoing madness, though, I'm starting to get over it. As always, hope everyone that wants to get one, gets one.

    I think Netflix wave 2 will be widely available for most part after it starts hitting Walmart stores if you change your mind later, yeah? There's really no such thing as 'too many Transformers' :p , but I do share similar sentiments and keeping a stern eye on my budget this Christmas also.

    I wasn't planning on getting Netflix Soundwave either because I have MP Soundwave, and feel kinda bamboozled for owning Siege Soundwave (and all the other "Hey, now there's a Earthrise version of the same character you just bought less then a year ago!"), but FOMO got the best of me and I couldn't control myself when pre-orders had miraculously opened up again (lasted like a couple hours) on 10/14. :p 

    I just saw in recent days there's a guy on the forum/eBay that is selling 3D printed flip arm covers for the Soundwave mold for like $3 a pop.

    $39.99, not $49.99. I still understand your decision, though.

    I was definitely considering getting rid of the trailer and most of the accessories (I already have the POTP Nemsis) but I opted to instead probably sell my POTP and keep this one. If they made an ER version with the trailer I would probably sell all of the accessories for bottom dollar, but I'm guessing there are no plans to make NM in the ER mold?

    Ps: If anyone needs someone to take over their Soundwave pre-order for the 3 pack I'll take it. Lol

    Spoke with CS, they said that they are looking into a different distribution region to get me a figure. Might take between 3-10 days, and if they can't fulfill it, they'll cancel the order. Bummer.

    Cancelled my Netflix Bee because for some ridiculous reason, Walmart.com does not give you the option to change your shipping address for pre-orders. I don't really feel like dealing with their CS so I'll just try and find one in stores after I move.

    Their online ordering system has so many flaws. I had a pre-order which at the time I bought the item, my card was valid. It was set to expire before the ship date and the system would not allow me any way to change it. I got on the phone with many customer service reps, went up the management chain and basically nobody was able to change anything. The order eventually got canceled.

    Basically after the order goes in, nothing can change on the order. It's very frustrating.

    Still no sightings yet. Just the endcap display without the new figures.

    After I preordered my Xbox Series X from them, I realized my billing address was wrong (even if my shipping address was right). I nearly reached out to change it until I read on here that you can't change things on a preorder after it's made, and I'm so grateful someone mentioned it in this thread, because I would've been livid if I'd have had to miss out on my Xbox because of their oddly rigid ordering system.

    Nice. Wasn't going to get this variant but it looks almost exactly like the G1 Wheeljack I have (scratched and beat to hell). Might have to pick it up for that "used" G1 accuracy. ;)

    It is missing a lot of tampographs compared to stock ER version, so be aware of that.

    No indication that my elita or soundwave have shipped and no indication that my bumblebee order exists. Still playing the waiting game.

    If you can't see it why would you think it exists?

    Placed order on the day the preorder went up. I got a order confirmation number but never received an email. I did not have a account when I did, so I made an account using the info from the bumblebee order. I then went to order elita-1 moments later, and a few days after that I ordered Soundwave when a second stock went up for preorder. The account shows me every Walmart purchase and order that I have made including ones that are from brick and mortar stores, using the same credit card. Bumblebee is not found and by the time I thought to check the were no pending charges on the card for any of the other items either.

    If I were the betting type, I would put money on it being canceled, either through order error or canceled in the aftermath. At this point it is just a bit of morbid curiosity to see if it will still arrive while I wait to catch it up for a new order.

    Me too. That snake is pink AF. I mean, it's cool. I was just surprised. The joints on my Prime seem fine so far. I'm not excited about digging in the black pudding cup, though.
