Now now. Life is about compromise. How about orange shoulders?

Nope. Would not be accurate.
I'm not just trying to wind Phil up. Sunstreaker had red shoulders and should have them again.

Sunbow is full of errors Phil. And the toy is not the cartoon, how do you explain Ironhide and Ratchet?
Sunstreaker should have red shoulders. Earthrise doesn't seem to have left room for them to be painted though...

As we have shown extensively before, it is a mistake the original toy has red stickers on the lower rear sides of the car which become the shoulders in robot mode. The should be yellow to match the bodywork as per the other versions of the toy.

Next Phil (The Toy Guy) will claim the cartoon colours are 'correct' for Rumble and Frenzy...

Don't be silly.
But as Hasbro has shown time and again Sunbow is their bible. Which means yellow shoulders for Sunstreaker and no launchers for Prowl.
Oddly they tend (with the exception of RTS and FoC) to go RIRFIB

It's funny how there's been a definite decision to switch, which didn't coincide with John Warden taking over. If you think back to CW - there was a definite divide: Hasbro did toy colours, Takara did toon - look at the Combaticons as a good example. That extended into TR, where you had toys like Blurr and Cyclonus following the original toy colours, even the labels, from Hasbro, and toon colours from Takara.
I think it was the point Hasbro went for worldwide uniformity and stopped Takara doing their own colour schemes - from that point on everything went toon. So Pottop Swoop had a blue chest, but then Hasbro panicked and put out a red one in Selects. Now, all toon all the time.

Then ER Sunstreaker's upper arms should have a lot more black! This is a Sunstreaker that pleases nobody!

Phil's evidence shown to be flimsy. This Sunstreaker is neither G1 toy nor cartoon accurate!

Boy you know, if I didn't have Internet Knowledgeâ„¢ and there wasn't one of the three nearly identical shelfwarming Siege Megatrons hanging around, there's no way just by looking at that, that I could tell that it wasn't just a straight up repack.

No kidding.
Walmart are offering an amazing variety of Megatrons right now.

I'm just waiting on the Coneheads and Hotlink to arrive to complete the set. It would have looked great if they had put Siege Jetfire in the middle with his Decepticon insignia

I've done it! I have secured a ThunderWarp twopack!
Target exclusives begin at level 6 difficulty for me, but usually with patience and vigilance and obsessively going every week, I can usually manage to find at least one after time.
But these have so many factors that raise the difficulty to at least 10.
I managed to buy one through the app this morning (which immediately stopped working right after I purchased it, after not having worked for nearly a week), and just got the shipping confirmation email!
I don't have to go and risk covid every week anymore!

They don't par chance have the Cyberverse Repugnus & Pesticons set on the app?

I always got CUTA'd so I stopped using them.

Mixed. High postage and >50% cuta risk. But they do deliver.
ID have said they will get Bluestreak. I may regret this order later.....

Not too bad, I've gotten a few things from them. If you want to gamble they will mark the customs info so you don't get CUTA'd.

Clicking on any item at all, from a toy, to a can of soup and the item page won't load. But my store did have them in stock at one point. So it you wanna try ordering online, choose In Store pick up for Mesquite Texas, and then put my name down as the one picking it up. Or I can just go see if they still have any when i run up there to get my package.

Don't yourself at risk! Some of us desire the Regugnus and hia children set but not that badly!

Well, i had been going every week to look for Thundercracker. But now that's in the bag, next time I go will be to pick it up when it's delivered to the store.
I will already be checking the toys and dvds anyway while Icm there. But without specific reasons, this will be my last trip for the forseeable.
