    I like bay figures and G1, so I dont care either way. (though it would be nice to see more bay figures more often.)

    I believe I soaked the piece in isopropyl alcohol and it cleaned it off well.

    Wait a minute, is that Tuna's scale chart they used?

    Nah.
    Dude was just sleeping on the pre-orders. Thats on him. I cant speak for his area but in my city every Target had at least 5 Ironhides on the shelf. Next he will be calling Earthrise Grapple rare too if his area got bad distribution. Should have pre-ordered.

    That would have been much better scale wise. So if this is an offical Hasbro chart, does that mean the balls were being considered too ?

    I agree, stores here tend to skip out on later waves and just order buttloads of wave 1. There's already a glut of G1 in stores, don't starve me out for more SS live action man!

    I only remember cancelling my Tfsource preorder on my phone as I walked to the cash register at Target. A month later Target got a bunch of them and I spapped mine out for one with better painted eyes. That dude was clearly overreacting because he wasnt proactive during the preorders. And I wasnt even trying to diss him. I was just being brutally honest.

    Pre-order times were most likely very short and snapped up. Prime vs Prime put him on his ss rarest releases video. He was first released at Singapore retail but didn’t get an official announcement. Almost every ss stop motion has Ironhide. He’s a super popular character. Collectors (and scammers) snapped him up.

    The Fallen? Devcon? Maybe one of the Dinobots?

    I’m fine either way.

    See, if they go the route of having a bunch of G1 movie stuff for wave 1, then we’ll get a bunch of movie stuff for wave 2.

    If they are dispersed among eachother, you get a nice taste of each.

    Well I guess I beat the scalpers 3 times...
    1. Got the preorder
    2. Got the early target release and canceled preorder
    3. Exchanged my Ironhide for a better one a month later.

    I cant stress the importance of being on time for a preorder enough. If Hasbro Pulse says 1200 pm orders go live, that means 1200 pm not 200 pm. I cant tell you how many times ive set a timer and either pulled over on the side of the road or went to the bathroom at work to get my preorder in the moment they drop. If its a retail release I check the boards for sightings in my state to get an idea. Trucks usually leave the regional distribution center around the same time, so if a guy in the next county found him yesterday, its time to go hunting. Its all about being proactive.

    That's right. We still have our rumors and listings and they are not going anywhere. Unless one of them gets replaced, like car mode Dropkick.

    Whoa cool! This is the kind of behind-the-scenes stuff I love! I actually think a commander Scavenger could have been really awesome. But I don't mind how it turned out. To be completely honest a commander scavenger AND a leader overload would probably have been best. That would have ensured we got the big "O&K" flaps and tubings and some other stuff probably. But then again my fantasies for what could have been don't have to follow the rules of gravity :p 
    I'm just happy they're getting their own numbering system. That was smart. But it also sort of makes it even more pointless to have them in studio series. But whatever, I'm not bothered.
    Yup, it's not a large group of international bayverse fans and collectors who are correct, it's only you. Guess some of us didn't preorder hard enough or whatever :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: 
    Yes.

    As I said several times, I can only speak for my area. And to add to that, im referring to the US only. I cannot speak on the hurdles international collectors go through. But I can assure you, in the US all you have to do is be proactive and youll get it.

    Soak a q-tip in vinegar and rub it over the corrosion. Then use a screwdriver to rub it off. Wear gloves for safety. There's plenty of youtube videos with better info but that's the gist of it.

    That was a fun read. Interesting that Longhaul and Rampage were never considered to make up the whole leg. Also, that's RG's Chart isn't it?

    Commander class candidates:
    Demolisher/Scavenger - already done as leader
    Devcon? I'm not sure how big he is
    Dinobots - Grimlock is done as a leader, so that's the size they'll probably run with. Commander class would be nice. Properly scaled though the Dinobots should be titans, except Strafe. (Do it hasbro I dare you)
    Infernocus - not tall but a six member combiner of identical bots. I think it'd make more sense to be sold as a large pack than individually.
    Dragonstorm maybe

    Feel free to add anyone I missed.

    The way I see it, we're all Transformers fans at the end of the day. Maybe we don't always get the toys or reveals we want but we should still be happy and get along with fellow fans.

    I don't activity collect G1 figures and maybe I'm a little fatigued of seeing those designs but I'm not going to get to the point where I start arguments about it.

    The new '86 movie toys look AMAZING and I'm genuinely happy G1 fans.

    I agree. The separate numbering is good but it does make you scratch your head a bit and wonder why they didn't just put it in Earthrise/Generations.
