    Idiotically forgot some necessities and had to go back to the store, luckily found NF Prime and I found Black Roritchi at the EB next door. Hopefully I’ll find NF Soundwave, BB and Elita-1 on my next supply run. 11A05F55-1DF4-4A08-A16B-18F6799011A8.jpeg

    Windcharger was my second TF back in '84, so I've always had a soft spot for him. The POTP version is very faithful to the original, aside from the cartoon face (which is well-done). Nice find.

    Thanks Zen.

    I didn’t have Windcharger back in the 80s. I had Brawn, Warpath and Outback. In that order.

    First two actual TFs were Inferno and Thrust followed by Snarl and Ironhide/Sunstreaker.

    Always found myself playing with Snarl and Thrust back in the mid-80s.

    The adult me really wants Thrust to go with my ER Coneheads. Not going to be easy getting the figure but for me it is one I have to have. Rekindle those feelings of the 10 yr old me in 1985.

    Courtesy of @Rockdown - and thanks to @4249david for pointing me in his direction - I got me a FansToys Hydra!!

    Haven’t run through the alt-modes yet, I’m still drinking in his sheer loveliness (and wondering how best to tighten his knees).

    Now, if only I could get the universe to manifest an affordable Quietus...

    I wasn’t planning on getting him but then I saw him and the collector’s itch started. I never thought I’d actually see Earthrise Bluestreak in stores. Then I did. Now I have two Bluestreaks. Or is one Silverstreak? As long as these Streaks don’t streak away to go streaking, I think I’ll be alright.

    My first was Cliffjumper (yellow) followed by Windcharger, Bluestreak, and Soundwave. Nostalgia is a big motivating factor with my collection.

    Why is ER Thrust so difficult to find? I'm not collecting the WFC figures (despite the fact that they're fantastic), so I haven't had to deal with the shopping madness. Is Hasbro artificially creating demand by limiting supply, or what?

    Thrust is an exclusive to Target in the US. I’m in the UK. The UK might get lucky getting small amounts in but demand will outstrip the very limited supply if we do get any in the UK. There will also be a mark up on import stock. Quite annoying when Thrust is more of a mainstream character which makes no sense why Hasbro would limit distribution to just Target.

    A mini masterpiece, in that much like Masterpiece Soundwave, you probably want to avoid looking at his alt mode from the back

    He's good, though! Better than Siege.

    2 reasons...1.) because of payback for all the disney star wars merch they had to eat because no one wanted those characters and eventually clearanced out, and 2.) without a toys r us presence in the US, Amazon, Target, and Walmart the 3 main distributors feel like they have the right to dictate terms that hasbro needs them more than they need hasbro. Which if Hasbro upped their own website and worked out distribution from their takara partners for international orders, Hasbro could tell them to piss off. But they would rather sell 50k units to target and walmart and amazon that end up bought up by scalper bot programs that end up on ebay for quadrupile msrp than sell 49,999 units to actual fans.
