Anything from wave 3 (quint and the deluxes), alicons, maybe some exclusives (even better make a Ironhide and ratchet pack)

 

For me personally? Nothing. I haven't really felt the pain of missing any of the exclusives all that much. I'm even over the non-appearance of Bumblebee in my area at this point. It just made me turn toward the hundreds of figures I already have, most of which are still very nice. The scarcity of the last year or so hasn't increased my "need" for the toys, its made me realize that I can readily live without them.

Congrats, Hasbro, you've successfully cured me of "New Toy Addiction"! Even the stuff I really want is now "nice to have" rather than "must have".



That said, I have no objection to Retro-style releases of stuff others want. I might even pick up one or two if I actually see them. Just not a priority.

 

Isn't it nuts that basically every character in the poll except Runabout and Lifeline (who is in a 2 pack with someone who is) is a major character of the franchise? And that they were so hard to get as exclusives?

(Maybe the Coneheads aren't euther but they're still a team linked to a major character of the franchise)

 

Everything really, why not? I got an Asian stickers box Wheeljack from BBTS restock in February, and now he is in a Kingdom wave.

I also ordered Cliffjumper from ebay Asia for $30 since I snoozed on him at retail hoping for a black friday sale.

Centurion drone and pack. I bought a second hand drone off eBay but I want to army build cheap.

Coneheads. Everything that scalpers have ruined.

 

That hung around for most of a year, but when I finally decided to buy it (had a really hard time justifying the up charge on 3 EXTREMELY SMALL AND SIMPLE deluxes in one box) it suddenly sold out everywhere.

(if they’d given them toy heads I probably wouldn’t have hemmed and hawed on it for so long...)

 

Runabout and Thrust for me.

Not living in the USA means USA store exclusives are difficult to get and expensive. I had hoped TT would give me an opportunity, but although they did have them I didn't buy them for various reason.

Runabout I thought was way to expensive since he would cost more than a leader.

Thrust I considered getting anyway, but since I expected my Amazon pre-order for Ramjet and Dirge to be cancelled at any moment (they've cancelled several of my pre-orders), I didn't.. I had already resigned myself to not gettting these. And then out of the blue about a month ago I got a shipment notification from Amazon. And the next day I had Ramjet and Dirge...but no chance at gettingThrust.


They should release them all. And make them regular releases. And if they don't want to upset the stores who sold the previous exclusives, then release the complete sets. A complete Coneheads set of all three, a complete Battle Charger set of all two.

 

Yeah, more than anything I just want the bottom to drop out of the scalper’s market so that they are discouraged from
snapping up fan favorite characters to make a quick buck.
Stupid free market...

 

Pretty much everything except wave 1 and Arcee.

 

Quintesson Judge stands out to me as one I never saw at retail. I ordered a couple online but I'd impulse buy another.

 

When they can’t sell the product and they run out of money to buy more it ends

 

Coneheads and Runabout.

Here in the UK it was near impossible to get them.

 

I got all the Target, Walmart, and Amazon exclusives with no issues. I know a lot of people couldn’t get Thurst, Runabout, Ironhide/Prowl, Coneheads, Ratchet/Lifeline, Netflix Bumblebee, or Netflix Soundwave - it would be good to re-release some of them so people won’t have to pay hundreds of dollars.

 

Runabout because I have everyone else.

 

Well let's see, the ones I wanted but missed include Earthmode Ratchet and Ironhide, Skywarp, Ramjet, Trailbreaker, and Bumblebee. Soundwave would be nice, but I did pass when I had a chance.

 

I was thinking of a cool multipack under the SS 86' line. The "Instruments of Destruction" Four pack, featuring a reissue of Prowl, Ironhide, Ratchet and a Brawn repaint from a mainline Outback. Throw in some unique blast effects too so you can recreate the scene where they all get mascaraed.

 

Prowl on his own.

I'd only want the Coneheads if they were retools of the Siege mold. And if that happens, I'd want Sandstorm and G2 Ramjet too.

 

I have them all but would love it for everyone who missed out to have them, so reissues for everyone.

Personally I could use another Dirge as I have an issue with the paint app on mine. Minor, but annoying.

 

I personally could care less about Lifeline, I wish they would just reissue Ratchet separately.

My Ramjet has a misfired pin on one of the shoulders, so I need another set.

If you aquire a second set I will buy your Ramjet.

If I aquire a second set, I will sell you Dirge.

 

I believe all of these should be reissued, preferably in a way that makes it easier for people to obtain them this time. I see no reason not to, they've already been designed and produced, and even Runabout is going for $80+ on eBay.

My only caveat is that they should space out the time between releases, and that I'd like to see a second run of Bumblebee that has a different plastic color for the yellow parts, that looks more like his cartoon appearance.

 

So I think Sunstreaker should get reissued with a better paint matching deco (even if it's only in certain lughting it's mismatched, how do Tigertrack, Bumblebee and that other yellow car get away with that?) And Runamuck for Runabout (although i say it should be a two pack with Runamuck getting some yellow on him like the toy) but aside from them, I don't know.

Basically my stance.
