Might be because this Ferak has some new tooling, rather than a straight repaint?
For those that didn't watch the livestream, they confirmed wave 2 United preorders next week...unless you find them at retail first.
Filch is the only maybe for me, and I can wait and see if I ever manage to find one in person. Ferak is less than cannon fodder and I already have perfectly good toys of Lockdown and Cannonball.
In today's stream,
- Mark called Lockdown a Weaponizer.
- Ferak's face is based on Floro Dery's early Cyclonus face design, which was used for the Marvel version of Cyclonus.
- And a few mistakes were made: Mark repeatedly said Filch is from Cyberverse, and both he and BMac repeatedly mispronounced Ferak's name as "Fer-ROCK" instead of "Fair-ack".

Given how retail looks near me, the preorders are the better option.
Are people interested? He hasn't sold on out pulse while the three deluxes did, and he and Lockdown are still available on Walmart.
Maybe it's to stop it sounding like the Star Wars curse word?
You jest, but when I made the same post elsewhere, that board actually censored the "Fer-ROCK" part of my post because the auto-censor thought it was too close to the F-word (because I had spelled it as "Fur" at first and had to change it to "Fer" to get it uncensored).

We have never heard a pronunciation other than the one given today. The intended "Fair-ack" pronunciation was only established in a text interview that is no longer online.
I'm gonna give them a pass on this one.

Here's a weird thing from Walmart's website and their "bought since yesterday" tracker:
Ferak: 1000+ sold (in stock)
Lockdown: 1000+ sold (in stock)
Cannonball: 500+ sold (out of stock)
Filch: 100+ sold (out of stock)
I'm guessing Ferak is his own case, so I'm not counting that. I can't imagine what case assortment the deluxes got that there's a 10:1 ratio of Lockdown to Filch.

My guess is Studio Series will be the last Thursday. Their hint was there's a toy that week that's one of their favorites of the year and I would not be stunned if that turns out to be Swoop.
-ZacWilliam, I mean it'd be cooler if it was something that was a surprise, but I could believe Swoop.
Wondercon announced that there's a Hasbro panel where Studios Series will be shown off there on the 30th, so who knows if they'll actually show anything on the 28th stream.

Went by one of the Ross stores looking for TM2 Megatron, but came up short. Stopped next door at Target and found Tigerclaw! Woot! I also passed on the SS Optimus Primal they had there, because I figure that someone else would want it more.
So I was looking at this guy and suddenly saw...
This guy:
He is a sailor. He is in white. With those (tattooed even) forearms and that face I now absolutely know what his personality is for me.
-ZacWilliam, and sh!t, I just made myself want to buy him.

Curse you! Some things can never be unseen once pointed out.
Meh. He doesn't have any spinach.
CAN YOU SMELL WHAT FERAK IS COOKING
he should go easy on the roids though. He isn’t exactly young anymore.
