    I like my PotP version too much to replace. So what he's short...he's supposed to be a minibot and I prefer the alt mode to be smaller. I'd buy this mold in G2 chrome colors, though, for sure.

    Not to debate your preferences, but in the 'toon, the Minibots weren't that "mini", and that feature was mostly constrained to the S1 characters. Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, and Brawn were the especially short ones. Huffer and Windcharger were only about a head shorter than the other car 'Bots (don't remember where Gears sits). The S2 inductees were more frequently depicted as full-size. I think Beachcomber was in the "head shorter" range, while Cosmos, Warpath, Powerglide, and Seaspray were "standard" height.

    I don't really use the cartoon for size estimations, since they fluctuate episode to episode...sometimes scene to scene.

    Outside of straight-up animation flubs, and AKOM, and intentional exaggeration (in the case of many of the Combiner appearances) the G1 animation wasn't as inconsistent as is frequently memed on. There's lots of general baselines to be inferred upon.

    I dunno, but my preorder via BBTS was pushed back until next year some time.

    Yeah I don't understand it. Walmart has had the wave before him out for a while and now they have the wave after him. It's like they just skipped that wave. Very strange.

    Yeah, this blows.
    I never pre-ordered thinking that wave 6 would, you know, actually come out at retail.

    The same thing happened with the skullgrin wave. I remember finding the wave before and then the one after then suddenly for a month they somehow went backwards to the skullgrin wave. Don't ask me how it happened but I saw it at multiple Walmarts.

    Every Wally world I check skipped the beachcomber wave. It'll either show up later or discount stores in a year (like the skullgrin wave is starting to now).

    Should always preorder everything you want in this era. If you find it in person, just cancel the order. If you don’t find it in person, you’re good anyway.

    Not just that but preorder at multiple locations just in case. BBTS hasn't gotten Beachcomber or very few as far as I know and then there was the whole Bombshell mess at Pulse. If I had to rely on the local Walmart here I would still be on wave 1 of the first Legacy line with Kickback.

    I found the wave 7 DLX figures at my nearest Walmart yesterday.
    Had to choose 1, so I got Bombshell because there was only 1 and he ranks highest on my priority list.
    Guess this means they've officially skipped wave 6.
    And it isn't just Walmart.
    My nearest Target never had any wave 6 stuff either.

    Ultimately, I'm fine with this. Hasbro didn't just not make Wave 6. It was produced, sitting in warehouses, and I'll end getting each figure in the wave for 1/2 or less now at Ollie's or Ross. Win lol.

    That's what I thought, but wasn't sure. Kinda frustrating, because while my BBTS preorder for Beachcomber got pushed back to next year, I received a "processing soon" notice for my Devcon preorder.

    Fingers crossed for a retool of Beachcomber as Ruckus...
