    There are silhouettes with numbers and Blurr is number one. Makes it seem like we’re only getting five SG figures... which sucks. Unless it’s just for wave one, but it seems a lot like how the Amazon Odyssey exclusives were represented.

    Was at work all day so I am trying to catch up. Is Galvatron the only leader that's new or is there another one that might be announced or is he going to be packed with one of the existing ones? Just like to preorder the whole assortment so don't want to put in on the wrong thing. Granted I could cancel it but rather save the hassle if I can.

    Kinda? It looks like the legs are at the same angle, but it also looks like the front of his pelvis is a flap on a hinge, so maybe it flips up to let the legs move forward.

    Looks like they may have left the missile launcher out of product photos. Could explain how Wingfinger fills out the Deluxe class given his relatively thin build.

    after all this time why would hasbro do such a dumb thing as to weld the hips together? It doesn't make logical sense. of course they move independantly

    The box has a big honkin’ Maximal symbol on it.
    Galvatron is the only new wave 3 Leader. The other Leader in his assortment would be a repack.

    Man, I’m worried about this guy. He looks so completely and totally hollow, like his shoulders are just floating over an empty expanse with a flat plate on the front (like the ER datsun’s abdomens, but his entire torso... just noticed the painted on window on the false chest, which is pretty cheesy too. :confused: 

    all this is a shame to me, because at a fundamental level he just LOOKS really nice, but the cost cutting is looking pretty brutal here.

    AND... I'm done until 2023.

    Preordered multiples of this entire wave 3, including the Ark.
    Used the ASIN method to preorder much of Wave 4.

    Mystery Science Theater 3000 Kickstarter launched today for another new season. That cost a bunch too.

    I'm out of money. I'm in debt. I've made mistakes. I regret nothing.

    Now taking a break for the next 18 months.

    That's true :lol  It might be on my mind because for a while I thought my Cog's hips were welded together because I couldn't move them apart from each other, but they were just stuck really tight.

    Did I miss something? Why are we getting shattered glass Blurr? Any particular reason?

    I wish Tricranius stayed as a Styracosaurus instead of being remolded into a Triceratops. Styracosaurus is just cooler.

    Blurr
    (a surprise not mentioned by the leakers, may put the rest of the list into question. Also while SG Optimus is very good....something seems more special about Blurr)

    Beyond Tracks there's not much for me. Not to suggest any of this is bad, quite the opposite, but Beast Wars figures arent for me and I'm just prone to lesser known characters.

    Rodimus is tempting but I still want a Cloud Roddy. Yeah, its not G1 accurate but damn is it hot.

    That SG Blurr manages to somehow be even MORE disappointing than expected. I can kind of understand the grey feet (though they still should have made them black) but why oh why did they have to add that light blue plastic to him? All of that would have been better in black. I do appreciate the headsculpt though. Not perfect but still well done, faithful, and the expression is better than the original. A little more black paint with lightning deco would have helped the alt mode though
    Also I do really like that Rodimus. In general all these other figures look great.

    It seems that Hasbro has (off the cuff?) decided to do an extra "Shattered Glass" series of (five) figures. I'm not sure if these will include (different versions) of Optimus and Ratchet (who've already been just released).

    I don't think that means much.
    Even Selects Decepticons have Autobot logos on their boxes.

    Yes, I know this technically isn't a Selects figure .

    If you find one, don’t pass it up. I did on the first go around, and when I finally caved, I paid waaaay too much.

    I regret nothing. Totally worth it. ;)
