I can hear Tarantulas cackling just looking at that!  

 

Any predictions when these will hit stores?

 

December.

 

Official preorders say December but we're likely looking at sometime over the summer based on what some of the "in the know" crowd have said. Which makes sense seeing as Hasbro has been putting release dates farther out than usual on purpose due to supply chain issues. Better to give a later date and have it arrive early than give an earlier date and have it arrive late.

 

I already want mine!

 

Hah! Even the stock photography has Wildrider with a proper backpack. lol

 

Those of us who have to budget out buying would disagree!

When money Hasbro say we'll be spending in December suddenly has to be found in August.... that is not a good thing.

 

I have to watch my budget too. Honest advice? Keep a preorder fund in your account with the average amount you spend per month on preordered items. Replenish it as you use it. I keep about $400 in my bank account that I roll over each month its unused and only replace what gets spent.

 

That full frontal packaging photo of Knock-Out is the same one we've seen before. It's evident because it's the only one out of the bunch that doesn't show the store hanger peg.

 

It's not one I would buy but at first I really liked Wildrider but the more I look at it all I see is those gaping holes in his arms and the entire front end of a car strapped to his back. I love his design otherwise but yeesh, he has some problems.

EDIT: Just saw a video review of Wildrider and it looks much, much better there than in these images. Definitely changed my mind on the figure.

 

Source, please?

 

For those budgeting, assume they’re coming in August. Remember, we were told July for wave one and they came out in March.

 

eBay seller rubyemeralite.

Also, please do not mistake that same seller's packaging photos for the wave 2 Core Class figures for stock photos. They're not. They're just the photos we saw before photoshopped onto existing Core Class packaging stock photos.

 

Thanks and no worries about those Core pics...those are really poor photoshopped images.

 

yeah, luckily i was able to tell those were bad cuts

 

I hope to god you’re right. I need Tarantulas in my collection.

 

Knockout continues to grow on me and wildrider continues to underwhelm me lol

 

It's like they finally saw what the buyers were saying about Wildrider's backpack and just closed it back it up to hide it.

 

Wildrider was always one of my favorite stunticon Colors are great on him
