    I'm kind of glad I preordered this version of Goldbug. It's not a bad deco (even if it isn't G1 accurate) and the "gold" plastic is at a minimum. I look at Transmutate and shudder, I know I'd freak out with a proper Goldbug. All of that...just begging to crack and pop. Fortunately, it's really just bits and pieces on the Shattered Glass version. Buy another Hubcap or Cliffjumper or something and swap in black shoulders. Lose some of the gold but at least there's an option if it ever breaks.

    I don't care what order of comic gold bug comes with. I'm just worried that gold bug being early, will mess up the comic distribution. Like we'll get 2 copies of #4 and not get #2.

    My assumption is that Hasbro will ship with gold bug which ever comic that have on hand, which would be #2.

    I don't think there's any gold plastic on the figure, it's all paint and yellow plastic (could be mistaken though)

    Paid for Star Saber. Also got the notice that Goldbug is coming soon. Today's new items are 3.75" Star Wars figures.

    I totally forgot Goldbug was even coming with a comic because I'm not that into SG, but I love Goldbug and I figured this was a great excuse to get one that fits in with the current line. Curious to see what issue it shows up with all the same, although it'll be a bummer if it spoils anything for anyone :lol

    Out of curiosity since I spotted listings for them on the site, were Waspinator and Tigatron ever in stock or did they just instantly sell out as soon as they went out?

    They were available for maybe 30 minutes? Stock was low (particularly on Tigatron), and there was no Premium-only period, so they went fast.

    Interesting that Bumblebee also has the same delay. Going to guess they pushed the entire line off to ship next year. That just gives me more time to think if I really want this version or not.

    Ah, dammit. I got a delay notice for GI Joe: Classified Barbecue. Barbecue's my favorite GI Joe character and the one I've been looking forward to the most! :(

    This is my biggest concern as well. I don't want them to ship Goldbug now if it means he comes with issue 2 because its in print and then Megatron ALSO comes with issue 2 like he's supposed to.

    Now if Goldbug comes with issue 2, Megatron with 3, and Starscream with 4, then that clears up the issue for us who preordered but what about those who order later on? Will they get the issues we get or the issues on the listing?

    Fingers crossed that whatever solution they have works out for everyone.

    None of them has changed from Pre-Order to In Stock yet. The Pre-Order for Tigatron (400 units) sold out within 20-30 minutes and Waspinator (900 units) sold out the next day. Shadow Panther (1400 units) is still available for Pre-Order. None of the items have come in stock or shipped out yet.

    Man am I glad I only care about the toys and toss the comics. This seems like it's going to be a headache otherwise.

    Watch it come with no comic at all.

    If that whole Premium Finish Line gets delayed to March... it'll be an interesting birthday. Also don't we still need to know like two more figures from the Premium Finish Line?

    Speaking of the Premium Finish figures, HP has the following description for each: Fully jointed and highly articulated, including articulated ankles, feet, torso and fingers, which allows for intricate posability in action poses

    Are these guys, even the Siege ones that didn't originally have articulated fingers, getting articulated fingers?
