GI Joe are getting a reaction vehicle set, gives me some hope we might see a TF one.

 

I haven't seen any at Walmart. I found Blitzwing at a GameStop and Jazz at a Books-A-Million.

 

they are smaller. But they have their product in every target, hot topic, gamestop, and a plethora of other shops i cant think of right this second. Transformers arent their only figures

 

More stock photos and diorama shots on BBTS:

 

I think this is very unlikely, even the Joe set is barely a vehicle, it's a dog sled.

If we do get a vehicle I would like an updated Turbo Racer, though the vintage one should hold me over just fine. I need to dig it out and see how Core class figures look in it.

 

I'm definitely getting Prowl and Arcee. Not sure about the others.

 

This is why Hasbro has increased prices of a deluxe Transformer to $25. When executives see people paying $17-20 for what could easily be a $5 toy, and it gets placement at mass retail. It makes it seem like a mistake to price something far more complicated at $20 as well.

You could have made the case for Super 7 figures being expensive if it were a short production run. However putting figures in Target, Walmart, and other mass retailers, immediately puts production units in the quantities of scale that would make an $8 retail well within reason.

 

I just CANNOT justify the price point on these. Can\'t do it. There\'s something down inside me that won\'t allow me to pay that much. Then again, I was a kid with a lawnmowing service in the 90s and bought Turtles at $5 a pop and G2 tfs for less than $10!

 

Almost twenty dollars for something three inches tall....:|

 

Wow these things are complete trash.
Like... no redeeming features at all.
Just future landfill.

 

What annoys me with the character of reflector is it is the name of 3 individual bots combined together. Yet they only show one bot. Each bot has a different name and is slightly different from one another. It\'s like showing a construction and calling it devastator.

 

I'll probably get the arcee from this one. Price has never been good but they are fun retro things.

 

Did the Sunbow cartoon ever mention the individual names? I don't recall that it did, but I could be wrong. Did the Marvel comics have the individual names? Were they even in Marvel Comics? I didn't read the Marvel run so I don't know.

 

They were not in the comics and none of them were referred to by name in the cartoon other than Reflector. Calling them Reflector is appropriate for cartoon versions.

 

Wow they look SO UGLY!  

 

looks like there's another target exclusive: Reformatted Megatron from the movie
from the California sightings thread by smf2045



and from preternia twitter, the Optimus wave-mate

 

Thanks for reporting. We now have "fallen Leader Optimus prime" available in grayscale and color.

 

Definitely milking the Optimus and Megatron figures as Target exclusives.

 

I’m surprised that Target is allowed to stock “Spring Break” Optimus.
