    It's hard to say. Right now sort of but more and more people seem to be finding her. I's say no for now but in like a month, yes.

    Glad i got an order in on this figure cause as soon i seen someone say something i pre-ordered. Then much to my surprise it was sold out hrs later. Man did i get lucky with a pre-order but that is coming from someone that doesn't do store hopping since i don't do walking very well.

    Yes. I got one also saying they expect her on the 8th of sept. Probably will ship on the 9th after processing. Saves me alot of wasted gas trying to hunt her down.

    The apparent now online-centric nature of Transformers collecting is so weird.

    On the one hand, you REALLY have to be on the ball of when things drop from so many different sources. The exclusives episode of this summer being pretty egregious.
    On the other hand... there is somehow not too much drama in getting a final wave female character? What? I mean again, so long as you're on the ball.

    The hunt at retails' been replaced with a computer game that has you setting timers and inventory. Honestly, I almost prefer a subscription service at this point for Generations.

    that would be horrible. the GI Joe subscription charges something like 30-40 dollars a figure which if it were sold in a store would be maybe 10. If we get a subscription service, prepared to pay 50 dollars for a deluxe. If Hasbro made Hasbro toy shop work better (well not function, but actually get stuff in stock, the functionality of the site isn't bad) then we could get what we want without having to worry about scalpers and distribution issues. Sell online and in brick and mortars.

    Yes it’s the Mastermind Creations R-09 Eupatorium the Warrior. I have potp Elita but the 3rd party version fits in with the other female Autobots better in a cartoon display. The official version makes for a good “what-if” matrix empowered version for me!

    Yeah, that's my Elita one, too.

    Size is perfect. Vehicle mode is flimsy, but oh well. Bot mode is where it's at!

    I got my novastar today. This is the third figure in a row then set just in an envelope. Repugnus was fine as he was in a brown shipper box in the envelope. Somehow my lady deadpool was just a little scuffed up. But novastar not so much. The card was all bent up and the bubble crushed. This time I finally called to complain about the fact that they’re not packing my items that they’re just throwing then into an envelope. As novastar was sold out they offered to just let me keep the one and fully refund me. I was very happy with that. But it does have me very concerned about buying figures from them in the future.
