Do the silver/gray antennae move for transformation? Earlier shots were more Megazord than the Galactus configuration this photo's got going.

I caved and preordered a $239 Nemesis. Never, ever, ever gonna transform it out of ship mode. Ever!!
The robot mode is janky enough I really didn't feel enthused to preorder her but I also knew that if I didn't I'd probably have to deal with a price gouge later. Not something I wanted to be proved right about.

Yeah, I think Nemesis'is'is'is's robot mode is actually pretty good. That said, I also have a deep love for spaceships, so her and the Ark spend the vast majority of their time as ships.

I never could get past the arm flaps. Just screams half-baked design and at the Titan class, there's really no excuse. To a lesser extent, the shoulder stalks are eyesores and give her a stick figure-esque build and my personal pet peeve is looong shins with tiny thighs that basically negate leg articulation.

In other news, I see local listings for Nova Prime and Nacelle reissues. Hopefully with no mold this time.

So, some leaks out a Walmart Distribution Center revealed that Walmart is getting another round of “BOGO” Deluxe packs for $25. Here’s the some of the sources I can identify for figures:
A-Level SS Bumblebee
A-Level TFOne Optimus Prime
Legacy Wave 2 (Tarantulas and Elita 1…from 2022!) and 3
Legacy United Waves 2, 3, 4, AND 5
And…Age of the Primes wave 1(!)

For Studio Series, there’s:
Wave 23, 26 and 27.

I can only DEFINITIVELY say that Legacy Wave 2, United wave 5, and Studio Series Wave 23 have their “full case assortment” seen among the mixes. Since we know the A-Level assortment largely ships in mono cases, my suspicion is that a LOT of these are “mono case” clear outs. Akin to how Ollies has gotten solid cases of Legacy Strongarm. Which would help explain the extreme range of “theoretical assortments” these all come from.

Ha, that's probably what I would do, too. It's what's happened with the Astro Megaship, too.

Part of me hates that they felt they just had to make them robots as well, because having the ships with some more nice playable functionality as such would have been really nice.

If I had my druthers (sadly, all but one were lost at sea, and the final one I lost in a high-stakes poker tournament), I would have preferred an Ark and Nemesis that transformed between ship and base/playset modes without a robot mode at all, but sadly the powers that be at Hasbro still don't think playsets would sell.

So anyway, Blokees, if you want to make some REAL money off me...
