    that was crazy. it's a regular Selects release though, so it should be up everywhere shortly... correct?
    I dunno why, but I always like it when they cross-pollinate GIJoe and TF names (when it makes sense) – especially when it's for more obscure TFs like Lift-ticket.
    (also love G.I.Joe Shockwave)
    me too, it's so good. love the close up reversed line drawing, and the Legacy logo looks way less overdone in 1-color and without the secondary TF logo right next to it (the one running up the side of the mainline packaging)

    It's a limit-one item for a paid subscription service and it still sold out in an instant. I just don't understand. Was it this bad with funpub?

    I have no idea why I paid for a premium membership. They didn’t send me my link to this event and now Lift Ticket sold out in minutes, before I got one.

    I won’t be buying a membership next year, that’s for sure.

    I'd check again at 8EST/5PST - seems like a glitch, especially with what @quickshift pointed out above.

    It's such a great way to piss your fans off. How did they not see this coming? Astonishing.

    Had Lift Ticket in my cart, went to look for Alley Viper, and it sold out on me. ARGH. I'm sure I'll get him later.

    Couldn't get Lift Ticket because I had to work until after 5pm.

    Most figures never make it to store shelves anymore, or if they do it's either incredibly late or very brief. The US is objectively the best country to buy TF figures, and living in the US I can hardly ever find any.

    If it weren't for reveals, I'd never even know about many things I'd otherwise want. I'd certainly have no reliable way to get them.

    I was also thinking, it's kinda sad I'm way more excited about Lift Ticket then anything the revealed last week.

    To mis-quote Monty Python:

    "I stayed up late for this?... I am never sleeping with the producer again."
    So yeah, I think I liked the GI Joe reveals more than this one. Red Diaclone Hoist, big whoop, easy pass. We already know this and blue Trailbreaker are coming.
    New packaging is nice, though.

    More interesting was the poster behind the Hasbro guy. I noticed Menasor, Kickback, Optimus Prime and... Devastator? Hoping it is not an indication for a new mold, I am perfectly fine with the CW/UW toy. Maybe it is just there because of the re-release?
    Curiously Menasor still seems to have the little car-for-a-chest. Maybe Commander Class Motormaster will come with that? Will it transforn, like Blackjack?

    No, same thing happened with Ravage and Galvatron. The moment the premium purchase period ended, he showed as sold out. I actually had to quit that page, go back to exclusives and find them again. It seems they use two separate pages and hide the Premium one, and if you are still on that when the period ends, it shows up as sold out.

    How can anyone get excited by what is just red Hoist? Seriously, compared to that amazing Drag Strip, Laser Rod Prime with transforming trailer, cartoon accurate Kickback, this is what is so amazing? ... I bet you are one of the people who bought those Sunstreaker repaints too... You guys are the reason we have 50 repaints of Siege Sideswipe, and they will probably now re-do them all with Kingdom's mold. :D 

    To me, saying that is just silly. Mainline releases are never hard to get unless you are really a noob. It's why I did not get why Kickback sold out in an hour after the reveal. He is a Deluxe, every toy store will be full of that toy, and you can preorder as many as you want from BBTS, TFSource, etc which are guaranteed to have it in stock sooner. The USA is so full of webshops it is not even funny. And this is the first wave of a new toyline, that is always over-purchased by stores, unlike the last wave of the line.

    That’s definitely bullshit, if that’s the case. Being able to buy now is part of my membership. If they’ve neutered that perk, there’s no point in the membership.
