Honestly, these days I don't trust Amazon either. They have a habit of randomly cancelling preorders without asking if the customer will accept a delay. And I believe both Thrust and Runabout were in Targets system, so both are likely exclusives

 

I've had those Amazon incidents with regular orders, as well as having figures cancelled outright, but not with exclusives through them as of yet, so fingers crossed that things stay that way for me.

So two figures I need are Target exclusives now....Oy 

 

worst I've had with amazon exclusives was repeated delays on a day 1 order for punch/counterpunch, but it did show up

 

To use on the ball joint or the inside of Prowl’s head?

 

Considering the original G1 toys were identical, I'm satisfied either way. We're only having this discussion because of Floro Derry.

 

Either should work. I'm personally gonna try sanding the socket on siege prowls head tho cause I'd rather make permanent alterations on a less valuable figure than on an exclusive.

 

Can't wait to see bluestreak alt mode in hand. He's always got the best deco of the datsun bros imo.

 

Wow!!!!!! Now that\'s definitely Bluestreak!!!! Definitely a must have!!!! So excited!

 

Yeah I'm gonna have to get this figure. I'm a transformers junky i need my fix of great figures to expand my Autobot army.

 

I have to give this one some thought. For characters in both series, I like having some that are the Siege version and some that are the ER version. and I don't really need doubles of the same character. I have all 3 Siege Datsuns, and I've already ordered Prowl and Smokescreen. So I may just skip this and keep Bluestreak as my Siege figure. I'll have to think about it. I never bought Barricade, but I guess that could be an option.

 

Any pics of the back of box or of vehicle mode?

 

Earthrise Bluestreak is looking good! But man, I still want this mold in Diaclone colors!

 

he's my favorite TF, but I think his deco is really, really hard to get "right": Universe 2.0 was a total disaster, CW was awful, but Henkei nailed it... still needs more sponsor stickers and what not though.

 

And Smokescreen was an exclusive in the last line anyway.

 

really? they've always just sent an email and if I dont do anything, it keeps the preorder . Sucks if people have them cancel preorders on them like that. I wonder if they are prime members ? it would be such an amazon thing to cancel preorders for non prime members

when it comes to a ball joint being smaller than a ball socket... I use miliput epoxy . If its too big a ball joint for the head... I'll use a drill with the size or closest size to the ball joint and just widen the ball socket in the head.

 

Yep, so it really balances out

Prime member here, they cancelled my earthrise prime with no email, no warning, nothing.

 

I sure hope Earthrise Bluestreak comes with his shoulder cannons, I know the render showed them, but as we know renders can be incorrect.

 

the packaging also had them, so don't worry

 

You can see the rifle and one shoulder cannon below the figure in the in package image

 

Crap, I totally missed that. I am blind! Lol thanks guys.
