This Cheetor? Two of him at Edina Target right now, along with Soundwave, Grimlock and…. Another guy. No Slug or Volcanicus.
Grabbed the two Cheetors from Edina target (got yo back, @T-Hybrid ) He's pretty cool. Very articulated in both modes, and I feel like his armor is a cool callback to Night Slash Cheetor. Transformation engineering is a bit wonky and I wish he tabbed together better in bot mode, but he's another solid Cyberverse deluxe.
Well, my vintage BW figures showed up from Walmart today (except Megatron, who is taking his time) and the cards on rattrap and cheetor are pretty bent up. XD Good thing I'm not a box dude.
Was doing inventory of my preorders and I remembered I'm still sitting on an SS86 Slug preorder from Target that was pushed back to 10/1. I've since found one, but does anyone in here want me to hold on to the preorder for them in the off chance they don't find one by the time I get it in hand? This is Target, so no guarantee it isn't pushed back again or even cancelled...but figured I'd check before doing some housecleaning.
The internet: https://www.amazon.com/Transformers...cphy=9019691&hvtargid=pla-1233418902891&psc=1 So as not to double post: Nothing interesting at Edina Target.
Any old-timers here have an extra sword for G2 Jolt? I just need the sword but I’d consider buying the whole figure off you if needed.
Wait. They're already shipping? I pre-ordered both Amazon sets back when they first were available to avoid the whole Amazon Earthrise set fiasco.
I got mine today too. My Amazon ones still say Nov 9. Keeping the PO in case others need them. I have such mixed feels about Mirage. Technically the Siege one is more G1 accurate color-wise, and I think the “26’s” on the Kingdom one look weird and cheap. The lack of an actual shoulder port still bothers me, especially when they could have just built up the white shoulder hinges more without changing the engineering at all. AND then he’d have ports in the back of his car mode to plug booster fx into. Then all they have had to do is retool his shoulder launcher with the peg farther forward so it sits correctly on his shoulder. To me it seems like such an obvious fix, I’m pretty surprised they couldn’t figure this out. Having said all that, the Kingdom one looks slimmer (about one shoulder slimmer) which I appreciate. So close Hasbro, so close.
Ugh...I rack it up to being just typical Hasbro as of late. "Exclusive to Amazon!...but also Pulse." If Hasbro would use Pulse to reissue some of the previous Amazon sets that would be nice. I still want a Earthrise Ramjet/Dirge set, but not for the prices scalpers are pushing. I got lucky with the Ironhide/Prowl and Ratchet/Lifeline sets.
I personally think it’s been really handy for Hasbro to have some stock of partner exclusives. As for reissues…. Totally agreed. They did it with the Walmart Netflix stuff. Unless Space Bezos has a problem with it.
Just got back from Shang-Chi, not related to Transformers or anything, but I knew absolutely nothing about the guy going in and really enjoyed it. Some good h2h fighting, even if it turned in to Marvel big blue lasers by the very end. Not sure it's a movie for kids though. Also the trailers were weird. We got Sing 2 but then also Venom 2. Felt like the theaters were desperate to put anything in front of what little audiences they're getting.
Pulse came through early and got Wreck Gar today. Such a fun figure! My son finds it hilarious that deluxe figures can ride him in alt mode.
