Greasepit for the Sports Car Patrol, Airwave for the Airstrike Patrol, Hot House for the Rescue Patrol, Ironworks for ????

My local Walmart FINALLY got a restock of Generations during the early September reset and got a big shipment of Earthrise wave 1 (the first I’d seen around here). IF, and that’s a big IF, they restock I’m expecting a bunch of wave 3. Or wave 2. But we’ll be skipping one of those waves.

Barricade hanging around

Brunt barely appeared here at all, wave 3 was pretty much skipped for a big load of wave 4, with Impactor and

Brunt is shelfwarming around me. One walmart moved the whole lot of them off to a side shelf, but couldn't be added to liquidate them.

Ironworks is a plague. No idea if it was overproduced or if nobody wants it but thing's clogging shelves.

My walmart the few times I go in will be lucky to have two or three transformers period.

I mostly just see walls of Ironworks. And the occassional Siege Hound.

condolences.

My local Symths is still chock full of Earthrise wave 1.

Yup, generally so much they don't bother with any other waves as the existing stock doesn't sell out.

All the damn time.

If there's anything there's going to be plenty of stock, it's wave 1.

I'm really not worried about wave 1 of a new line EVER.

At least you got listings for kingdom. walmart canada won't list them until they're actually in stock and that could very well never happen. I'm gonna get mine from BBTS cause I'm not missing out on the maximals.

And I don't buy the "they all sold out" explanation. The Kingdom figures are still listed.

I don't see any of Friday's reveals at Walmart.

There's a difference between "sold out" and "no trace of a listing".

There is still a listing for the scalped and sold out Walmart exclusive limited edition version of Gigawatt.

But there should still be a listing.

Probably got scalped and sold out in seconds.

And I don't see links anywhere either.

So did Walmart somehow fail put up the Headmasters preorders as promised by Hasbro, or have the listings been taken down again? I cannot find them.

My Depth Charge is signed by David Sobolov on the wing.

So do I, and I am one.

I need an adult.

Watching people talk here is satisfying-

Nope, just awesome 80's metal hair.

Feathered Depthcharge? Does he turn into a fish with feathers?

i've seen fan vids of feathered Dinobot and Depthcharge (which got a top comment by someone who claims to be his voice actor) which show how CG progressed.

A great story, and characters which more than make up for the now dated looking (but still clean and fluid.) CGI.

Thanks to Kingdom I've been rewatching Beast Wars. Still tops.

If they manage to tie GI Joe into Transformers like I hear they're trying to do, and it manages to put Joe product on the shelves again? I will totally forgive even the worst movie ever.

they LOOK cool, but i dont like the size. i grew up in the late 70s and early 80s where action figure size was 3 3/4, so thats what i prefer

I think the new G.I. Joe Classified figures are pretty cool.

speaking of gi joe, just bought my first gi joe figure since...2011? whenever the 30th anniversary/pursuit of cobra was. got the so-called "retro" storm shadow. only got him cause i missed the ultimate version way back when

He has to say something eventually...

New G.I. Joe anything has been a disappointment. The biggest of which is what I hear they will do with SnakeEyes.

The disappointment of the new GI Joe game has been offset by the arrival of PRINNYS!

Sure, but as a unionized worker myself, it's a hot button topic for me.

In fairness, there are FAR more pressing issues than whether a multinational company decides to use cheaper non-union VA for their cartoons

That isn't contradictory because "most ethical companies" is just a comparison to other companies. It's like being the fastest snail.

Was Hasbro in charge of the voice casting?

Doesn't sound very ethical to me.

Wasn't Hasbro once awarded as one of the "most ethical companies"?

Jason Marsden wasn't too thrilled about it either, in the case of Rescue Bots Academy

the Netflix show is done with non-union VAs. Cullen & Welker both objected to this before Siege came out. everyone's forgotten already...

More likely they'll all just be recast with local VAs like how Primal was voiced by Ron Perlman in POTP.

Gary Chalk, Ian James Corlett, VenusTerzo and Blu Mankuma would be welcome. Chances are, the Beast Wars characters will be unused or a speechless legion referencing their use in IDW1.

I'd rather get David Kaye back for Megatron.
