There are plenty of figures through out WfC and SS86 that don’t have wrist rotation: Sideswipe, Mirage, Impactor, Skytread, Soundwave, Astrotrain, Snapdragon, ER Seekers, Runamuk, Huffer, Airrazor, Rhinox, Blackarachnia, Jazz, Blur, Origin Bee, Gnaw, every version of Megatron, and those are just the ones I own and can check. I think you are over reacting.

Edit: oh plus paleotrex and Sixgun, forgot about them.

 

Yeah that's what I meant. I'm not sure why I said Tankor; probably Universe 2.0 still stuck in my head somehow.

 

In actual economic terms hyperinflation would be a monthly inflation rate of 50% or more. I know things aren't fantastic, but calling that hyperinflation is very hyperbolic and inaccurate. Not picking on you, just saying.

 

Anyone else notice the star wars & transformers (day 1) were limit of 1 - the gi joes & marvel (day 2) are 2-5?

 

Oh okay. So maybe it was a PulseCon exclusive?…I guess I’m all screwed up on that. I knew the Zartan was going on sale, today, so I must have just been thinking of that. You’ll have to excuse me. I’m a dumb individual.

 

Sideswipe too

 

There was a limit of 1 when I did the exclusive Venom and the animated Wolverine

 

That was the first one I listed lol

 

It only just hit me that Optimus's lower body is mostly Earthrise Optimus's. That explains why it feels a bit off.

 

oops, missed that haha, then, um... Red Alert! Yea, you didn't mention him  

 

I'm still confused why Blaster wasn't revealed, it's my only gripe with these reveals.

 

Yeah, at “inflation” Deluxes should be $16-17 (especially when you consider that the $10-13 era deluxes were larger, had far more accessories, far more paint apps, far higher parts count, far better build quality and massively better QC). $23 for a hollow deluxe with clip on wheels and almost the guarantee of at least onemassive QC failure is just a joke.

 

That is fair, we are in the beginning stages of hyperinflation would be more accurate I suppose. And downplaying it like it is normal is not cool.

 

Then don't buy them, put your money where your keyboard is, so to speak

 

That, and the Cores.

 

With respect, we're really not. The annual inflation rate is only 5.4% in the U.S. currently. It has increased year over year by a decent chunk from this time in 2020. But it's hardly the beginnings of hyperinflation. I'm not downplaying it, this is just a fact. Hyperinflation is well defined by economists. Again, it's a monthly inflation rate of 50% or higher. The absence of hyperinflation is likewise defined as a sustained monthly inflation rate of below 50%.

If we start seeing month over month skyrocketing inflation rates from 5.4% to 10% to 15% etc. month after month after month, then you could argue, perhaps, that we are on a trajectory that could end up there eventually. But we're nowhere near that and monthly inflation far exceeded the current rate in the 70s and 80s, in fact.

 

Arcee looks kinda masculine.
Doesn't bother me, though. I don't see why alien robots shouldn't look more androgynous.

 

Hasbro might be waiting to reveal them on another Fan First Friday. They’ve staggered their reveals before.

 

I was also hoping for some Armada love. The rumored Seeker mold showing up would be of interest to many, as Armada had some great designs that straddled the line between terrestrial and Cybertronian.

 

Anyone else think that we could see Energon Prowl from Drag Strip?
