    Haha! I love stock photo flubs, especially when they’re such easy things to catch.

    I am so sad they sold so quickly. I really wanted Cosmos. I guess it\'s time to wait.

    Ordered Override and Road Rocket since I unfortunately missed out on Cosmos and Clampdown. I expected Cosmos to sell out but didnt think everyone would be after a repaint like Clampdown. I may double back and get Hauler as well

    So is this pretty much it? Pulse said they would go up for everyone at 1pm, but then pushed it forward 3 hours and are already out of stock on several items. Can we anticipate more stock becoming available on either site later today, or are they done until the official release date?

    No, they said the SDCC items go up this afternoon. There was no mention of the Walmart items.

    There have been times where Hasbro doesn't put all their stock available for Premium members so that way it doesn't get eaten up by them. I would say check the site a little before 1 and keep refreshing every now and then to see if more becomes available.

    Well, as expected by the time I saw the listings Cosmos was already gone. I kind of want Override, Blurr, and Clampdown. I definitely want Scourge and--surprisingly--Road Rocket. I POd Scourge and Override since I'm confident I can find RR at retail.

    I guess I'll take my chances at the brick-and-mortars. I'm already mentally preparing myself for how much Cosmos is likely to cost on the aftermarket if I can't find it.

    Ordered my Cosmos off Pulse at 7am. Glad I didn't oversleep considering how quickly it sold out. Passing on the rest of the Velocitron line.

    Life is too short to worry about scalper shit. I've bought from resellers before and I intend to do so in the future. I'd say if anyone wants to get it and they gotta eBay it fucking do it. Get it sooner paying just 1.5-2x retail before that price shoots up.

    Definitely not willing to go without Cosmos. I'll get him even if I gotta pay a scalper for him, period.

    Do y'all think Scourge will be compatible with the DK-37 DNA Design upgrade kit they made for Legacy Laser Optimus Prime?

    Money can be replaced, but not time.

    It is the same exact mold so should be good to go. Only problem is that the new hands would be blue.

    No, there were social media posts that said 2pm at first, but a correction on Twitter that said 11am.

    Got Cosmos and Override the minute Pulse put them up, then once those were guaranteed grabbed everyone else except Scourge, because I feel like that's going to be the easiest to find since a) people didn't seem to like that mold and b) the "wrong colors".

    Cosmos :( 

    Ended up only buying Scourge cause I have too many video games pending and was only trying to fill a Cosmos shaped hole with the others.

    Constructicon Grapple dude Is tempting as a mold I don't have along with Blur who looks cooler than Studio Series 86. Do Walmart exclusives stick around on actual release day?

    Kinda OT for this thread, but any idea when that'll be? I thought I saw another thread mention 4PM Eastern, is that right?
