Greetings Seibertronians! Did you catch all the reveals from Pulsecon? Annoyed/upset that those figures won't be in your hands till sometime next year? Well let's focus on a toy that some of you are receiving right now! That being Shattered Glass Deluxe Class Goldbug!

Fellow Seibertron users, Chuckdawg1999, and Thundertron have done video reviews for this figure, and fellow Seibertron user, D-Maximal_Primal, has furnished us with pictures of this evil Autobot!

Chuckdawg1999's video review

This is what Chuckdawg1999 had to say about this figure:

chuckdawg1999 wrote:For the sixth use of the mold, Goldbug feels like a first or second release. Other than that how desirable the figure is to you depends on how you feel about the Shattered Glass concept and if you like how the figure looks. Transformation is the same, articulation is the same, the accessories are the same, everything is the same as we saw before. By this point, everything just feels flat, but your experience might be different.

Thundertron's Video Review

Here's what Thundertron had to say about it:

In Hand Pictures

Courtesy of D-Maximal_Primal, we have these fantastic images of the figure! These pictures were shared on D-Maximal_Primal's twitter account and feature the Target Exclusive Origins Bumblebee and the World's Collide Bumblebee.

Do you have this figure? Do you plan on getting him?

We were supposed to get Megatron first, so the comics are out of order (Megs has issue 3, Goldbug issue 4).

Looking at my recent orders, it appears that the release date of Artfire is being changed to--it was November, but now says January.

Hurray for shipping delays... ugh.

When you mention delays, does that include Ravage? I didn't think it was a pre-order.

Also, how garbage does the Buzzworthy Bumblebee look next to the Cliffjumper mold? :lol:

Another also, when is UK getting that Buzzworthy 4-Pack with the Nemesis Primal and Boxart Blackarachnia?

Since I'm getting the regular comics, I'm good...but yeah. Even I'll have to sit on issue 4 as issue 3 isn't out yet.

Wouldn't it be nice if we got an actual Goldbug out of the Netflix Bumblebee mold with that head? I'm sure in a couple of years someone will think of it.

I'm sure it has already been thought of multiple times. VW and licensing is the problem with that mold apparently. I'm not sure we'll see it again unless something changes on VW's end.

This ^, a VW Beetle Bee is not something that we're likely to get often and may also be a one and done deal.

Okay so this is weird, someone on this site posted a sighting at Target for SG Blurr, at 2 different stores yesterday. I had no idea Target was going to carry them and this definitely has me intrigued. If they will end up carrying the SG line, I would love to be able to find SG Jetfire at Target during one of their sales.

I think

should have armed Goldbug with some different weapons rather than the same one's this mold has been stuck with...'nuff said! :VEHI:

I got a shipping notice from Pulse on Goldbug. Pulse has always used Fedex in the past for anything I've ordered, and my order says they shipped it Fedex, but the tracking number is clearly a UPS number (with a Z for the second digit). The link for the tracking number leads to Fedex's site and comes up as invalid.

I went to UPS's site and the tracking number works, it should be here Sunday, with label created as the current status.

My Ravage is shipping UPS too. Might have something to do with all the shipping issues.

Same here, at least for Ravage the link says UPS Tracking number and goes to UPS' site, so looks like they fixed the site to match and use the proper shipper's website link.

Megatron's ship date on Pulse has now changed again from November 1st to today with zero fanfare, curious to see how this goes.

Pulse shipped my Goldbug via UPS, and that is how my Ravage is coming too. Weird change.

I checked my credit card, no charge for Megatron yet, so we will see what happens.

Goldbug is pretty OK. He looks nice, but the fact that he uses that specific mold lets it down for me. He really needed to use the Hot Rod or Runamuck mold

Just got my Goldbug from UPS and he is way awesome. Has anyone tried removing the head from a Cliff or Netflix Bee mould? But mainly I want to point out how sweet looking this SG packaging is. Only 2 Im getting from this "wave" are Goldbug and Blurr, but those boxes are nice.

IF I had to guess, he'll ship by Wednesday afternoon. Last few times I got properly charged on a Friday, it shipped the following wednesday and arrived Friday

Not sure what happened to my Megatron... FedEx tracking says they dropped it off themselves Sunday, support says they didn't, they handed it off to USPS, which the tracking doesn't say as it usually does, and USPS doesn't show it in their system. FedEx has it listed as SmartPost, which normally does hand off to USPS, but the last SmartPost package I got, also from Pulse, had the note, "Delivery scheduled via FedEx Ground, not US Postal Service." Somebody's got it, I guess I need to contact Pulse next. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What are the odds that we eventually get Shattered Glass Collection rereleases of SG Prime and SG Ratchet? Because I missed out on them, and they're only available for utterly ludicrous prices elsewhere.

The weird thing is that they didn’t just go out of stock on Pulse, the listing got Orwelled from the site entirely. It would also be weird if they didn’t get the spotlight at some point in the series the way each SGC character has.

Or maybe I'm just hoping in vain.

If you're in Canada or the USA, I know a Canadian store that have a few in stock. 70$can plus taxes and shipping.

Look up Geek Stuff on Facebook.

I got my Shattered Glass Megatron. And he is wonderful! I only got this mold once before as the G2 snow camo Megatron, so I'm not on mold overload with this figure.

Firstly, the one negative: that head is not heroic. He needed a remolded head.

Now the positives: this mold is a lot of fun, especially with the new accessories. They add so much more presence to the mold, and give it a whole new character. He has so much he can do, and is very modular with all the pieces. He's a lot of fun to play with, and he is great to look it, that color scheme is nice and sharp to go with all the silhouettes he can take on.

Overall, me really likey. Best SG figure so far.

Here he is with his right hand man

My Starscream pre-order has been pushed back again, this time to January, but my Goldbug arrived today. I've always liked the Earthrise Cliffjumper mould, and I'd say Goldbug is one of the best versions of it. The black and gold paint job is really nice, and while I usually don't like when some windows are translucent plastic and others are painted, the painted blue window on the car's rear doesn't look too bad, and the shade of blue they've used really compliments the black and gold.

Well, it turns out they didn't push him up. I looked at the wrong SKU number. Mine says 12/01. Sorry, false alarm.

As for Zartan, I have him. My Emperor, though, was a preorder for February(!!!).

This is getting really lopsided, looking forward to Starscream and Jetfire evening things out. Though Jetfire will probably be an Autobot so...

Also his tank mode is kinda neat, you can wedge that cockpit in there pretty securely without damaging anything.

One of the reasons Megatron is the most enjoyable of the line so far? His modularity with all the 5mm holes is a lot of fun for customizing and examining potential configurations

So I'm catching up to the few notable things that TFW leakers posted this weekend, as it was my birthday weekend and I was therefore not paying a whole lot of attention to that kind of thing, but I figured this was worth sharing, for those who continuously keep debating on what mold SG Magnus is going to use: the Siege Magnus mold/tooling has allegedly had the SG Magnus skull face as it's alternate head this whole time, make of that what you will.

Now time to go cause a ruckus in the Legacy thread, ooh boy this one's gonna be a thing....

I didn't think it was really up for debate anyway. In the comic the silhouette is that of Siege Magnus, and they don't do these toy/comic combinations without planning all that out in advance.

The Silhouette could have been the Kingdom version of the mold, too, as they're both similar enough.

As for the debate, though, people were holding onto hope that it could be the new Legacy Laser Optimus mold.

Technically it still could as there may have been a last minute decision to change molds (depending on where Shattered Glass UM was in production of course). Not like it would be the first time we've seen it happen.

Goldbug. Still wish and think he should have been a Runamuck or SS86 Hot Rod retool. On the plus side, the last pic I think will become his default weapons configuration, I am happy with it
