I came to say the same thing.Immortal Starscream wrote:says not available in stores. because its walgreens and they're never very good at this
You sure about that? Picked one up at lunch time.
Ratchets a really cool figure. The retooling and deco makes him seem like a fresh new toy. The accessories are great, especially the wrench. I did get a chuckle out of the mudhole stompin not battle damage paint. The best part is probably how spot on the head sculpt is. It looks just right

Also, I picked up the cell shaded OP and Megs and they very interesting. The lighter gray on Megs is nice, but OP is just not doing it for me. If they did not have all the wavy lines on them, they would be much better.

As for the 35th anniversary figures, the display is up at my Walmart, and I was able to check it out. I thought in-hand cel-shaded Megatron looks better than the original Siege voyager, so I picked up one. Passed on Prime and the others. I thought about Blue Streak, but I'm going to pass. I would much rather have a comic-accurate blue Blue Streak. I did notice that the display at my store had a bunch of Brunts. Like 8 or 10 of them.

Because I have Apeface pre-ordered on there, and haven't actually gotten any notification saying it's cancelled, but I'm also worried they may end up just not sending out copies to people who pre-ordered with them
I wouldn't be too worried yet. This happened before on something transformers that I pre-ordered from them, but I don't remember which one. The page was eventually restored and I ended up getting whichever one it was on time. I would keep an eye on the ship date (mine says November 15th release, arriving November 17th.) If they miss that date, then I would pre-order from Hasbro Pulse if you have a premium membership, or add something else you would end up buying anyway to get above $70 for free shipping.

Alright, fair enough. The only other time I've ordered anything from Amazon was Punch/Counterpunch so I was just concerned, but thanks for the quick reply

Wolfman Jake wrote:I got an email from TFSource letting me know the final wave of Siege Micromasters (Soundwave Spy Patrol 2nd Unit and Battle Patrol) is in stock and ready to ship! I just wish they'd put up the final Battle Masters too. They still have no listings for Rung or Singe (and neither does Hasbro Pulse). What gives? They've got the rest of the Battle Masters up on TFSource. I've got Crosshairs, Spinister, Apeface, and Astrotrain preordered on Hasbro Pulse, so Battle Masters Rung and Singe are the only Siege figures left that I haven't secured. I hope I can find them at retail, even though distribution of any Battle Masters beyond Wave 1 has been trash in the U.S. Seriously, I saw Wave 2 Battle Masters on the pegs maybe twice this whole year, and never did I see Wave 3. I had to order Smashdown and Caliburst online from Amazon. Even the Micromasters had better distribution, with only Wave 2 being a little scarce in my area.
I have Singe in the mail from an Ebay seller who also has Rung but I already have Rung and Spy Patrol 2 on pre-order through Collecticon Toys. Rung would be cool to have two of so I can keep one in each mode so I might hit up the Ebay person again.

Gotta be honest, the Cel-shading actually doesn't look as bad as I though it would on Prime, but it's still not great in my opinion. Definitely going to pick up Bluestreak and Soundblaster, but has anyone else noticed Soundblaster's paint being a bit sloppy/fuzzy? Like, the Decepticon badge was almost covered with the silver on multiple copies that I saw
Still waiting for that dispaly to show up at the Walmart where im working. If not its gonna be a long ride home Monday stopping at every walmart till i find it.

I feel that Ratchet wears the mold better than Ironhide. Glad I made the Walgreens hunt.

Thats just mean, what did the first Transformer ever (in IDW ver 1 at least) do to you
Still, an awesome plan for a custom, it'd be interesting for hasbro to make protoform toys at one point for army building. Just call them blanks and be done with it.

‘Best’ can be debated till the end of time as an old collector I realize that, but for me personally I don’t think I’ve ever been so emotionally invested in a comic and the characters. It just connected with me like nothing else. i really miss it. I miss them.

Best is entirely subjective to individuals, but that's my opinion. It's the only comic i consistently reread and thoroughly enjoy during every reread

From what I remember Primus wasn't even a "god" in IDW just one of the earliest Transformers, hell the actual guy wasn't a planet former just a normal sized dude who was part of a group of 4 other dudes.
He wasn't even strong or anything, the one thing he could do was poop crystals out of himself.

Walmart.ca is full of 3rd party sellers...at least one of which is trying to gouge collectors.

Those who ordered Ratchet as soon as it became available on the Walgreen's website should be receiving theirs as I was one of them and mine showed up today. In a separate shipment I received Singe and Pteraxadon. I wish Hasbro's battle masters had knees like the Targetmasters that came with Takara's legends. I'm sure something had to give so they could include the blast effects but look at these two, patiently waiting for the bus.

If it was up to me running this trilogy I'd have Battlemasters (and effects) blind bags and every mold available in 3-4 colors and each mold would have at least 2-3 permutation of the barrel. If it was up to me I'd have these guys so produced the molds would fall apart!

So what Takara did with the minicons then?

You had me until the whole blind bagging. I definitely feel there should've been more barrel options, especially of the single variety.

This is a hypothetical scenario where I'm a corporate suit. I'd be legally obligated to thrown in at least one scummy curveball to make the fandom hate me!

Well, you found the sure fire way I have the worst luck with blind bags so I'd practically never get Rung, but I'd get 9 Firedrives so at least there's that

Well, I'm sure those multicolored Firedrive could make interesting partners to various Siege figures depending on the color scheme. Speaking of color scheme on Battlemasters: I've swapped limbs around and ended up with spare parts taking the form of a Caliburst with blue limbs and barrel. It looks really cool.

I'm not going to be actually defacing some Rungs to spite on IDW fanboys, I'm just planning to get 3-4 spare ones if I can because I got an interesting custom idea for him.
