dCon
Yeah and now i wish i got the what was it Autobot 3 pack or something? I honestly not sure on that but i wasnt a huge fan of Aragon but those other 2 Powerdashers(retools) look pretty dope.
dCon
I have 1 i can think of..1 Gamestop. 1 Walmart. 1 Kmart. (Khols?
)
Matt Overholser
They just showed pictures of the other two Powerdashers on tformers.com
Dolf
*Waves* Hello fellow New Englander!
Hoping its a fluke, for sake of convenience going forward since the place is a minute from my house, rather than having to hit the other 6 that surround where I live in 10-20 minute drives
dCon
Yeah i felt REALLY lucky to find those 2. Different times of course i went in to look for Ratchet yesterday and there was NOTHING. Not even anything except Diamond Select Disney crap that looked like it was gonna break inside the packaging.
dCon
Its probably a new England thing. Im in new England as well lol
NotMarluxiaXI
Most likely, but by the time the next film is released SS will be pretty much done with all the Bayverse characters. And SS is quite popular, the problem is the lack of new releases since March.
Rodimus Prime
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if SS either drops Bayverse and goes full reboot after the next film. It seems to be less popular than WFC and is mostly a toyline for a dead universe.
B-Fox
I never saw Thing or Surfer in my area . .
Dolf
You know, a new Walgreens opened near me last weekend (building switched from Rite Aide to Walgreens), but I noticed the same thing………no toy aisle what so ever (prior store had a small section)…
I thought it was a fluke thing being a new store, ironic to see another poster share a similar observation.
Anyways, just a weird observation haha, sorry to divert conversation!
Trypto19
There was never a Trypticon costume commissioned by Hasbro. That is false information. It was a very awesome 'fan made' cosplay prop produced by a team of very enthusiastic Transformers fans. It was introduced at the San Diego COmic Con 2019 Masquerade.
T-Hybrid
No it wouldn't have. Because WfC2 would still have not been Studio Series.
dCon
Me too!
Amazon baby!
Looked at Walgreens today and they took all their toys down. Absolutely NO TOYS im like WTF. Its already bad enough that they never got MR.. FANTASTIC or HUMAN TORCH so all i have ia SILVER SURFER, THING, & INVISIBLE WOMAN. (Anyone have these? Lol). But no no ratchet.
IgnikaMarcus
Hell, in my area, I'm sure it'll be easy to find Ratchet in store, since the Walgreen's stores closest to me had (and may still have) several Wreck-Gars.
Dinobot Snarl
I think they're missing the moment then. BB Soundwave appeared on tons of ads. Its okay Siege version will have to do, I bet BB Soundwave turns into an armored car fo SS. Might be why they choose a left field alt for Siege.
Alphard
Is the new Cyberverse trailer up on youtube yet or no?
DecepticusPrime
I wouldn't even really have expected much from Armageddon. Confirm the name and maybe some renders of what the gimmick will be. And then some Studio Series of some kind
Anything studio series really.
LegoLover58
You know, revealing some Armageddon figures would've made up for the lack of Studio Series.
Way to drop the ball at SDCC, Hasbro.
