    Why would they shortpack Cosmos? I get putting it in a multi pack with less popular characters (it SUCKS but I get why)… I literally don’t understand why this though.

    A short packed, exclusive Cosmos? I should sell my collection and get a 3d resin printer and machine tools. Retailers don't get exclusives. Period. I've been to Walgreens over 90 times the past year looking for their exclusive Marvel Legends, for example. It's just short runs of bs to get us to go there and shop.

    Velocitron, eh?
    Well, that's one way to squeeze in whatever Cosmos is.

    Cosmos is the only one that might interest me in Velocitron, but he’s not really among my favorite characters either. Besides, the TR one is a decent toy, save for its size. So not a big priority, but I might pick one if I stumbled upon him. But reality is, there is like 0.1% that it will actually happen because Walmart exclusives…so yeah, at least it’s not something I will obsess over

    I’d rather have had Sureshot over Cosmos. Sureshot hasn’t had a second toy since his first in 1987. Cosmos has had two, most recent as 2017.

    If they're Walmart, they'll get to stores. Netflix was no slouch in terms of stock.

    What? So only one, MAYBE two are originally from Gigantion? :lol  Granted, there’s only two left since we’re getting Megalo Convoy…

    I think people will be better prepared this time. I would *strongly* recommend Pulse Premium if it's available to you.

    Hopefully the Voyagers and Leaders get shown too. Unless Walmart decides to stagger/separate the releases.

    While I don't like playing the store exclusives game, Walmart IMO has been the best in actually stocking their exclusives (at least deluxe class; Voyager for me was spotty at best, Leader was non-existent. Good luck to those wanting Scourge). Compared to Target, & especially Walgreens, if Walmart is anything like it was with the Netflix trilogy, we should have a pretty good chance.

    (This alleviates a little of my anxiety about getting Cosmos, just trying to spread positive energy to everyone ha ha)

    Wild to think they’ll get another deco from that Siege Sideswipe mold. Well not wild.

    I know people who are building Sentai teams from all those colors will be pleased.

    Fuck, we could've actually gotten a new Lockdown?! Let's hope the designers keep pushing for it and wear the execs down, Tidal Wave too.
    This is what I want, I hope they do a repaint in these colors later on.
    Armada Blurr did technically appear in the comic as an extra in vehicle mode, based on his original toy just like Override was, so while it doesn't give any clues as to what he'll actually look like it does lend some credence to the toy being based on the Armada version.

    Cosmos is short packed because he's a new mold and his costs must be spread / distributed even further since the line is exclusive. Definately going to be the fat Cosmos, they figure it will only appeal to hardcore collectors.

    That doesn't make any sense, wouldn't they want to produce and sell as many as possible to recoup the costs?

    I just cant wrap my head around why Cosmos is in a line meant for speed/sports car related Transformers when he’s a UFO. I guess it’s a BBB situation?

    I really hope Blurr is Armada, and if he is that he comes with Incinerator. It’s going to be dumb if we get new Armada figures and they don’t come with the Mini-Cons.
