    Distribution is so f’ up. Never saw a single netflix Bee or Soundwave, couldn’t find the retro headmasters either. Yet I can’t go to Walmart without stumbling on Galaxy Shuttle boxes.

    Look at these empty shelves, but there is THREE Galaxy Shuttle on the bottom shelf.

    That's because $87 (tax included) for a redeco of a voyager sized toy is a lot to swallow for people. Even with him barely hitting the US, he is in such poor demand that he just sells at cost on e-bay.

    Hey, be happy you're actually getting Leaders. My Walmart seems to be allergic to the size class. And that includes Studio Series & Generations. Makes me fear I won't see Grimlock in person.

    Cool to hear G2 Grimmy is making USA landfall. Maybe this will light a proverbial fire under Walmart's butt to finally put up G2 Grimlock, Miami Swipe, and Watermelon Sugar Raj.

    I've been reorganizing my toy room. This shelf is why this line was an insta-buy:

    It would be cool if someone, not me I'm not that talented to start a page that catalogues when things arrive in port. That would be helpful.

    This suggests that everything we have leaked so far is one wave, doesn't it?

    There had been speculation that the listings we had accounted for two waves.

    It’s BotCon Electro, an update to a G2 laser Rod infamous for suffering GPS.

    I knew the extra weapons looked familiar... Here’s the "first" use of them:
