    Watch them release a retro Nightprowler at some point.

    Meh. I buy what I want. If the toy isn't appealing to me I'll pass. If it's counting on my purchase for survival it's too late and I have no loyalty to any brand. It just so happens that this BW stuff is right up my alley. I haven't bought a single RED or Vintage BW figure but I'm happy to see it doing well enough to keep going. Because I get that not everybody was able to finish their vintage collection before secondary prices went through the roof.

    I wonder if, before they were pulled in to Kingdom, the plan wasn't to put these guys in retro looking packaging? Because that box art would look BEAUTIFUL on the old-school BW packaging.

    Nightprowler is literally the only fig here I\'m interested in.
    Rest? Why bother. I have the original versions. Needless.

    Every time someone says Beast Wars cells, Raksha shrivels a little more into a mummified husk.

    She got out of the fandom, pretty much. The fan club reached out to her when they did the new Nightracer for the subscription service and she wrote the bio for it (plus it was finally in the intended colours for Nightracer), but nothing since

    I hope Tarantulas is in wave 2 of Legacy. It is taking longer than I thought it would, but I can appreciate how the BW redecos are now the Diaclone recolors of G1, but for Beast Wars. At least they are being thorough with completing the series of characters. But my kid will be grown up before all the mainline TV characters are made that he wants the most.

    How about enjoying what is available from each line instead of limiting yourselves to only characters and color schemes from the cartoon? It’s okay to like a new or obscure character or color scheme.

    It's okay to like what you like and not be browbeaten into buying more by others

    My kid wants way too many toys as is. Rising inflation isn't worth it. 300-500 (whatever it is) TF charaters is enough for him, there are other toylines out there.

    I assumed she was bullied out of the fandom by the usual name members of the AllSpark/TFwiki upper anchelon that seem to love to make fun of people who don't conform to them yet pretend to be sooooo progressive.

    Me: “How about stepping outside the box and gain a wider perspective?”

    You: “No! Stop bullying me into stepping outside my comfort zone!”

    Super excited to grab Sandstorm! Awesome to see a few more niche BW characters being brought to life with these molds.

    Unlike some folks, she appears to have largely moved the fuck on with her life and doesn't dwell on fandom drama that's old enough to drink.

    Heads up, my local Walmart just did a reset to make room for Legacy, and these lads are in the plan and have shelf tags.

    Nice reminder that "Legacy" used to be "Legacy: Evolution" which goes back to the previous point of it originally being planned as a trilogy and now seemingly has been shifted to just an extended rebranding of "Generations" until such time they decide to pivot back to a trilogy.

    Also, resetting now gives me hope Walmart anticipates these coming in time to fulfill their May ship dates. Because Pulse is saying something later (November?) which is either them being more cautious given *gestures broadly* or simply not being able to ship sooner due to exclusivity agreements with Walmart.
