Rodimus Prime! The toy and character that unifies the fandom is finally here.



Vehicle mode then, and he does protrude too far out at the front, but I don't care cos he's a mobile home with flames painted on it and sports these big fuck off exhaust pipes for reasons. It's stupid and it always has been. Like something a kid who turns into a sleek sports car with flame decals on the hood might think he wants to be when he grows up.

Therefore, this is essential. Careful what you wish for, boy.



Literally trying to escape that trailer, or so it seems (it's a sturdy connection). Don't listen to them, Prime! You look great.



As you can see, Rodimus runs primarily on the blackened hearts of Optimus Prime fanboys.



Smaller Deluxes will indeed fit inside entirely if you take out the cannon emplacement.



Actually quite fond of the Hot Rod on steds car form. He's hanging onto his youth there. AND THE INEVITABLE STANDALONE RELEASE. I see you, John Hasbro. I see you.



Still, one bath in blue light and he's instantly too old for this shit! Even though technically he's still only a young man. That Matrix is overrated. Growing UP is overrated.



Ah, but what's in that caravan? A big old blast of who gives a fuck, that's what. FOREVER YOUNG!



I love this toy.

 

mmmmmmmmmmm not quite

all jokes aside, deffo picking him on my birthday

 

I’ve got butterflies waiting on this Toy.
I haven’t felt like this waiting on a release in years.
Early drop of Galvatron was a surprise I wasn’t expecting… if I have to wait another Month I’m buying stock in Tums

 

The TCIN on Popfindr gave no results for me.
But I was able to pull it up on brickseek using Target's UPC number - 5010993809004

Of course it only told me what I already knew and that is that it's sold out everywhere.  

 

I usually have to hit search 2-3 times with the TCIN but it works eventually.

 

I think more accurately it hasn’t been in stock in this country yet. One reported find with no photos is all we’ve had so far.

 

I thought the US release date was July 1st?

 

It was in theory, but anyone who preordered him from Target has had their order pushed back to the end of the month and we haven’t had a single documented finding on shelves. That combined with none on Mercari or Ebay for triple the price strongly suggests that the July 1st date is wrong.

 

I believe Pulse has said 9/1 from the beginning. And I'd trust them over Target/Walmart/Amazon. Especially Target. They were claiming the Ark was gonna ship 7/1, and how'd that turn out?

 

The release date from Hasbro was always closer to August/September, Target had it listed as arriving early

 

And Pulse has quietly changed dates before.

Example: When the Ark was revealed the initial batch of POs were 9/1. But then those sold out, and when a new batch went up the date was pushed back to December.

So in a situation like that, my guess is it means Hasbro had planned production batches and that first wave is due in September.

 

That's not even really quietly changing dates, that's more of a restock since I'd expect the initial batch to still show up around 9/1, least based on my experiences

 

7-22 ish

 

With Rodimus not being an exclusive item, Brickseek won't find him for you. It'll show you his listing exists but it won't give you stock information. If he was an exclusive, then and only then, would it work. Popfindr (if you can get it to work) will work but it's a crapshoot sometimes, too.

 

my trailer just doesnt wanna stay tabbed...always leaving a gap....any idea how to solve this?

 

Already in SEAsia though I got stuck with my amiami PO for August. Will wait for the latter then.

 

Make sure the cannon is fully seated and compressed. Import or found at retail?

 

Or not

 

In stores, yes. Online, no.

 

I didn't install the canon. It's an empty trailer that refuse to close properly...not sure, my bro got it for me.
