    The specific wording passed along was no long term preorders. Some sites might put up preorders, but there won't be any announcement and it'll be pretty close to release (kind of like how wave 4 randomly went up for preorder with only like a month till release).

    You're right, it is an assumption, however it is one that makes the most sense given the information available.

    A couple of quick thoughts now that I\'ve had more time to digest the info. 
    First very interesting that hasbro name dropped both Bludgeon and Thunderwing.
    Second this is more a question about kingdom, does anyone know what WFC-K 36 & 43 are?

    No preorders isn’t an issue ... unless ... stock is really low and will sell out quick.

    This is an end of line release, no? There has been issues in the past with that.

    The figure's getting repacked in the first wave of Legacy, so even if the Kingdom release is hard to find, you probably won't have to worry much about Blaster's availability. Unless your collection is very focused on packaging, for some reason.

    Call a friend and get some hugs.
    Call you doctor and maybe you'll get the help you need a few months later.

    I think the issue with preorders right now is that due to the current “crisis” in cargo ports, Hasbro isn’t exactly sure when they’ll be able to get their stock in. So Blaster, Slammer, and Pipes simply might not show up on time.


    Likewise, it’s also the reason why Legacy preorders are listed as coming in July of next year, despite them stating in this interview they fully expect them to be in stores by March 1st. The added months are a buffer in case there are issues getting them in.

    At least the clear blue on Eject is an easy fix. Pop off ball joints, spray paint desired parts blue, wait to dry. Detail blue parts as needed, spray on a clear coat, wait for it to cure again, pop back on.

    It’ll even strengthen / reinforce the clear pastic enough to make it last a good long while. I understand the annoyance that “it shouldn’t be necessary on a toy I spend my hard earned money on blah, blah, boo hoo” but really it isn’t the end of the world or that big a deal. #1stworldproblems

    no matter what you paint it with, it's still translucent plastic. People under the impression that paint strengthens it are sadly mistaken.

    weak plastic is still weak plastic.

    That being said. Lately the Translucent plastic has been holding up pretty well. All of my much smaller Translucent Hasbro figs are holding up just fine. no looseness or stressed parts.

    He is. He’s primarily in Legacy. Just a few also placed in Kingdom packaging.
