I would really not keep my hopes up about that one. We all remember what happened with SG Goldbug and people were hoping they would use the more accurate Hot Rod mold

With all due respect to the leakers, they have proven to get some stuff wrong also.
The Coronation Starscream reveal of today is a great example. I remember reading that the alt mode would look bad due to add the retooling. But it turns out to just be the same old jet mold.
So we'll see.

I think it was later specified that the retooling was dropped in favour of a more accurate jet mode, if I had to guess the cape was attached to the wings instead of being a hinged piece. It'd explain Coronation's apparent delay they mentioned.
With that said, we haven't seen the gear mounted in jet mode, so if that's even possible they may have meant that.

Based on parts, only thing that could stay mounted in jet mode would be the cape because the pauldrons are too big for the chest, and I doubt the crown fits the nosecone

At that price he won't, Netflix Soundwave was $40 IIRC.

It's funny because Budiansky was apparently bamboozled too, he claims he gave the guy that name and personality as wordplay because the toy they gave him was blue. Probably a Diaclone one. That and the boxart confirm they changed the deco at the last minute,
Why would they make such a pointless & unnecessary change like that? I was looking all over for the blue version.
Both of the Diaclone pre-Bluestreaks had hoods that were different colors from the rest of the car's body (blue w/ a silver hood and silver w/ a black hood), which made them both look like those old broken cars that use replacement parts from other cars that don't match the rest of the car.
Apparently, Hasbro didn't want their Bluestreak to look like an old broken car with a replaced hood, so they took the silver hood from the blue car and put it on the silver car to create a new uniform design with a matching car and hood, nixing the silver car's original black hood in the process. Evidently, this decision came too late in the game for the packaging to be changed, but not too late for the comics and cartoon to both switch to the silver character design before release.
That said, however, it seems the cartoon somehow got a look at the original Diaclone silver car w/ black hood deco instead of the new all-silver deco, since the cartoon model for Bluestreak used the black hood instead of the new silver one, like how the cartoon also used Diaclone blue Swoop instead of Swoop's new red coloring meant to make him better resemble the other Dinobots who also used red as a secondary color. The comics, on the other hand, did use the all-silver Bluestreak and red Swoop as per their toys.

I might still go for the Netflix version simply because I'm pissed at that whole situation. I got burned by the Walmarts near me & a new release won't be the same.
The stores in my area have become a real problem lately. I live close to Knoxville TN & they get everything (I watch the sightings constantly). Just a little farther East & I'm stuck in a black hole.
JelZe just corrected him about another blue Bluestreak toy that Hasbro put out before the TCC CW one.Nemesis Reformatted wrote:Emerje wrote:Nemesis Reformatted wrote:Unfortunately I missed the CW version. Stupid collector club!

I would rather a BB movie shockwave in scale with the other toys (ie voyager)
Hey, it doesn't say which movie Shockwave it is, for all we know this'll be an adorable little Driller.william-james88 wrote:Nemesis Primal wrote:More new listings:
