Transformers Legacy Motormaster New Stock Images & First Look At Menasor Body

Lincoln Tunnel

Aren't the hands held together by two Phillips head screws?

Yah. A surprising amount of screws are used on Menasor.

I have to travel to 3 different states to find things at walmart and sometimes even then there is no luck. That's a fact.

Walmart uses economy of scale to minimizing to have lower cost than other stores and driving their competition out of business then paying people low wages due to the lack of competition. You like facts, well how about being open during pandemics when their competition is not allowed to be open. That's not random luck. I guess like banks they were too big to fail but small private retail businesses not traded on the stock market that's a different story. We just saw a big transfer of wealth from small businesses which there are many transfered through closures to big store businesses. I wonder if any portfolios have Walmart stock in them?

It reminds me of a great line in a movie called Moneyball when the GM talks about how there is rich teams and poor teams and then the A's. It's a rigged (unfair) game he said in the movie. Decades later they still don't have a new stadium and might need to sell the team if they don't build one or move to a city that will pay for some of it. Guess which the owner is likely to do? What did the Raiders do? I don't see the current owner building a stadium in Oakland completely on his own otherwise it would of happen already. I see the current owner trying to get someone else to pay for part of a new stadium like the Raiders did with Vegas and if not he could sell it to a new owner who will give the A's a new stadium some where but maybe not Oakland. You haven't seen MLB expansion in two decades, ..why because they like to have more leverage for all the teams to negotiate to get some public funds for new stadiums. There likely won't be MLB expansion until all the teams have newer stadiums except the iconic few old ones that remain. But by then they might repeat the process again before expansion. The Braves already have a new stadium again.

I'm sorry, I think you had some irrelevant point with this weird unfocused rant but I'll be damned if I can figure it out. No interest in people bloviating.

I’m 90% sure that’s fudged together or a custom, I think there was someone who said fit was with printed parts a while ago? Def not backwards compatible in that way by default though, I have him.

I'd love to take a crack at it, but for a minimum asking price of $85 for Motormaster? Absolutely not

That said, Wal-Mart is an exceedingly well run business and has been at it for a long time. I can't see them making that error more than a couple times; not semi-annually.

I've given up on Walmart they're a poorly run business when it comes to their transformers section. It's always empty of mainline stuff and the only thing you can find is cyberverse, beast stuff, and non transforming stuff. It's not worth an hour round trip of gas money to go fishing in an empty pond. If they were a well run business we should be able to know if there is inventory for the transformers before we leave to go to the store. I think the deliberately higher gas prices are designed to hurt small businesses and encourage more consolidation giant online shopping retailers like amazon.

We have been down this road before, ad nauseam. It’s usually not so much shelf warming as it is oversupplying. Many of these figures sell reasonably well, but once demand is met, Hasbro fails to get off the gas.

I think everyone that wanted an SS86 Blurr (maybe what, 50 people?) bought one within the first couple of weeks of that toy’s release. Now they just hang there on the pegs with their long, pasty-white faces, waiting to be deeply discounted.

It's also a known issue of stores ordering a ton of the first wave of a new line.

Sometimes it feels like the people at Wal-Mart and TRU do not understand what while yes, Siege/Earthrise/Kingdom/Legacy are separate lines…they really aren't. Not in any way that really matters to the customers. It's like the buyers for the stores see NEW LINE OF TRANSFORMERS and don't realize that it's more or less just rebranding and a refresh. But to the people buying the stuff, Wave 1 might as well be wave 37.

Has there ever been a Wave 1 of any new line that *didn't* shelf warm?

Come on, we've been down this road so many times. Wave 1 stuff is always plentiful and kicking around long after wave 3+ has come out.

It's Legacy Blaster around here. All the deluxes, Bulkhead, and Galvatron are still sitting there.

There is a difference between underselling and overstocking. Hasbro is simply supplying too many Bulkhead figures. The same problem exists here with Legacy Blaster and Skids. But the true shelf warmers in my area are Kup, Blurr, and Silverstreak, as well as Legacy Galvatron and literally any Beast Wars character.

My area has pretty much all of wave 1 shelf warming or peg warming at Walmart with the exception of Laser Prime.

I was a pass on Bulkhead until he was on sale for $10 at Drorkside. He’s actually awesome and I’m happy to have the dude.

Those Prime figures are putting a brand new meaning to the term "Shelf Warmer" they are literally burning a hole in the shelf it's self! Absolutely zero movement, I think the people have spoken with their wallet's, and a clear message has been sent to Hasbro! They need to abort & fast!!! I guess Legacy Prime Knockout is going to make or literally Knockout Prime out of the Legacy Line all together.

we still got a skyquake coming. if anything it showed hasbro that the execution of the legacy prime designs just wasnt good.
