    Oh sure, you got a lot for both, but for me, the Pulse weapon pack has everything I have wanted for upgrades, in one pack. And I am okay with the bare trailer on ER Optimus.

    As much criticism as I have for Earthrise Optimus Prime's trailer, I'm still very grateful that we got it at all. We're so fortunate to have upgrade options!

    Amen to that

    Trailer Set - Earthrise (Order sooner rather than later, nonnef doesn’t like to compete with official products, so it’s very possible a 2nd run of the set will see roller stripped out of it)

    Rotorstorm at least had an appearance in popular fiction thanks to Last Stand of the Wreckers, the power dashers who have had and done nothing all got new heads

    I got 2 sets of Nonnef (one all blue for regular OP, one black with gray for AUOP) and I got the Centurion pack too. I'm glad Hasbro is releasing official versions, and really appreciate all the guns and extras, but like you I feel the Nonnef Roller is better than the Hasbro Roller.

    I’ll probably end up using both in some capacity, I just love the titanmaster compatibility on nonnefs

    If the official one is close to the same size as G1, I'll probably put it with my Mtn Dew promotional Pepsi Prime as his Roller (one of the only contests I've actually won :)  ). I'll just need to find a nice Pepsi sticker to slap on the hood of Roller.

    He ought to at least wait to see if the Hasbro Roller accommodates -Masters first.

    All the Walmart reissues have been things that have been reissued multiple times... not sure we’re ever getting “new” reissue molds again.

    I know you’ve been answere, but one way to think of it is everything that’s not major B&M retailers, which I guess is just Target/Walmart/Walgreens/Meijers/Kroger affiliates these days?

    really? I figured since Optimus was up they had him like 3-4 pieces per case and Megs & Soundwave were shortpacked...

    It wouldn’t really matter, he actively avoids doing stuff that hasbro is covering, not saying it’ll happen, just saying it’s a possibility

    They are planning on releasing more Japanese G1 dinosaur cassettes later in the year, so Blaster is to accompany them.

    We need some Spike, Sparkplug, Chip, Arkeville and Carlie figures that scale with Earthrise.

    Adding up all of Hasbros Fan First Fridays, Weibo still has Hasbro beat. Let's hope that HTT have saved the absolute best for last IE SDCC IE the mysterious, Prophecized, Legendary 4th Leader Class Figure

    Damn I thought too long on whether I wanted to preorder Tigertrack and Rotorstorm on Pulse. Now they’re sold out. I had to preorder two of each of them and add a fifth $20 item on Dorksidetoys to get free shipping lol. Ugh my credit card really gets no reprieve haha. My son and I will just really play the crap out of the ones we open and, if either of the first opened Rotorstorm or Tigertrack break somehow, at least we’ll have a backup haha.
