    Got charged for Pipes but not Slammer. Seems to be the opposite of everyone else?

    Boo no Blaster or Core Hot Rod drops.

    Yay charges and shipping notices for Slammer and Pipes!

    Slammer tomorrow, pipes Thursday. Although I'm still waiting on a pkg from Walmart that's been delayed a few miles from the house since 12/31, so doubtful on the dates

    So this is weird.

    I've been refreshing the Blaster page all day on my computer, and there's been no listings of him being in stock at all today, but I just checked on my phone, and there's four scalper listings for him that I can see.

    Why is my computer showing nothing, and my phone showing four sellers?

    It's not been live on Amazon as sold by Amazon, but only by 3rd Party Sellers. Was only available to pre-order on Hasbro Pulse for 30 minutes (2:30PM - 3PM ET).

    If you click on the "See All Buying Options", you'll see the other sellers.

    Yeah, I noticed that a little bit ago.

    They changed the format on me, because everything used to be listed on the bottom for me. :lol

    Both of the brand new Rodimus Primes I got on Amazon had scratches and chips on the chest right out of the box and the paint on the spoiler was sloppy, so maybe people got poor quality figures and returned them.
    I sure did, especially because each of my friends got perfect copies.

    Oddly enough sometimes Amazon itself gets buried under a 3P seller.

    That was the case with Tigatron when I found one, and I think Slammer/Pipes.

    Yeah do not buy a Rodimus from Amazon. I'm still peeved because even the other brand new one that I got from DeepDiscount has similar problems but is overall a bit better, so they must have all been from the same batch.

    Specific issues I had out of the box:
    Collar has sloppy paint
    Spoiler paint is thin to the point where it could see the faint blue hue of the plastic underneath and is messy/bubbly
    Robot chest has very noticeable scratches and blemishes
    Spoiler section does not tab into the windshield well
    Sloppy gold paint on matrix
    Sloppy paint on sword
    and of course the trailer doesn't tab together too well but thats an issue on most copies anyways

    I'm really dissapointed because I love the mold, but the QC issues have been present on each of my copies.

    I'm telling you they've been available from Amazon. We have several members that have been able to order and have just recently received or are going to receive their figures.


    Currently only Autobot Blaster is not being sold by Amazon - only 3rd Party sellers. In any case, Both Slammer and Pipes are available for people at retail price from Amazon.

    I'm really hoping the Golden Disc beasts ship out soon.

    With how early the first two shipped out, I really thought that Terrorsaur and Tigatron would ship out right after them.

    The amazon Slammer and Pipes listings have been active for at least a week now. They’ve just been hidden in the “other sellers” section. They’ve been there available every time I’ve looked.

    My Pipes got delayed to next week but Slammer's out for delivery. I guess different warehouses got different figures.
