This is me every time someone bumps a thread without news

When I saw this thread bumped, I almost thought there was a Transformers Fan First announced this Friday. Of all Fridays this month, I hope the Transformers one is not this Friday, because I have to work a full day that Friday and won't be able to see what was revealed till late.

Is this where we are meeting up instead of a leak thread.
I've loaded up on gin and tonic's, but I can't find any leaks.

I can generally get the less popular figures easily enough at retail, and I really do enjoy buying them off the shelf more. It's an exciting little event for me, reminds me of being a kid I guess.
Also it seems like we are really being buried under figures in the mainline. I got one in the mail yesterday that I forgot I even ordered. Sheesh, I'm actually glad we're seeing more BW figures now. Not because I care about BW collectors, but at least it's something I don't want to buy!
Yeah I know 1st world problems, complaining about too many toys, huge Manchild ect…

What? You mean you don't get excited to see the 3 Arcees and one Blackarachnia that have been sitting on the same shelf untouched for the last 2 months? Why you gotta be such a hater?
Robogeek28
I can't blame you, as I would have as well.
Fenrys
Yea, might have been a glitch in their system, but over memorial day it was going on and applied to just about everything on their site, so you bet I took advantage of that haha
Robogeek28
Holy sh*t….now that's a sale!

Chosen Prime and Pulse for me, Amazon has canceled 1 too many of my preorders, though oddly they've all been mainline stuff

So much this. The thrill of the hunt died a long time ago for me. Sure, sometimes you have to like the Walmart Netflix figures but distribution was getting worse even before last year's problems. If I even remotely thing I want something I will preoder through Amazon, Pulse, and BBTS to cover all bases. Brick and mortar just isn't the same as it was 10 years ago. RTS and Prime first edition was when it started to get bad and it has only gotten worse.
Fenrys
Fair. These days with distribution the way it is I typically just preorder everything I think I might want, there's not much to hunt when stores barely stock shelves
gibdozer
I probably will eventually. I try to save the preorders for the figures I can't live without. Gives me something to look for when I actually go to the store.
Fenrys
Why not just preorder? I got 5 on order from Gamestop when they were doing a buy 3 get 2 free sale.
gibdozer
I like the RTS Junkions a lot too, but I'm still getting the new ones. That's the nice thing about Junkions, they don't all look the same.
Sharkticons on the other hand…Will I ever be able to get 3. I've got 1 Allicon and 1 Quintesson(so far), so it ain't looking good. The figure looks good but my odds of successfully troop building them do not.
Effigy
judging by the Allicon I would say that’s unlikely. He’s a troop builder. Tons of people will be looking for multiples.

The more I see of Wreck-Gar, the less I like him. The partsforming wheels are a total dealbreaker and the axe is so stunted it looks like pinwheel. Compare this to how beautifully well-integrated everything was on RTS Wreck-Gar's ingenious asymmetric transformation. Even the axe forms the tailpipe instead of just pegging onto the back. Hell, I wish he did look like that in the cartoon. I'm not a slave to G1 accuracy, sometimes a better design makes for a better toy. I'll stick with what I've got, thanks.
To me the highlight is Gnaw. I do appreciate the movie look, but I've never had any qualms with TR Gnaw and he scales well with current figures. Maybe if I can get SS86 Gnaw on discount….

This would be a credible backstory for explaining his rage and attitude.
