Sorry, Shockers, apparently Sunstreaker does have those different yellows. Whether it looks better in-hand remains to be seen. I haven't ordered one. Waiting and seeing how it does down with folk.

This mold has five different unique head sculpts so far.
Standard calm
Standard smirk
Standard scream
Cone calm
Cone scream
I certainly have no problem with expressions, but they need to match the character.
Smirk is good for Starscream or Skywarp. Not for Thundercracker.
And certainly no one looks good when they're eternally screaming dear lord who not only thought this was a good idea, but such a good idea they did it twice???

I give in. I can't cope any more. I've been exclusived to death.
I was going to say Thrust and Runabout must be one of the new odyssey sets, then remembered they already have WFC-E numbers.
Hasbro, stop. This is just too much.

This has stopped being fun. I like to collect toys, not hunt them in some elaborate game that only Hasbro knows the rules to.

It would be nice for some toys to actually be released, too.
Just being shown stuff gets old after six months.

Been a steady supply here Scorponok, Doubledealer, Exhaust, Greasepit, Hubcap, Snapdragon, Centurion Drone and Rotorstorm in the last few months. Told the US has also had w2 Battlemasters, w2 & 3 Micromasters and w3 Megatron Plus there's been the Strike Plane 2 pack, Alt Universe Op, the Decepticon Clones and the Coneheads. That's quite a bit of product! |

I notice the wave 2 micromasters are up for preorder on Kapow. I thought they'd been and gone out of stock, if they've reopened orders for those I hope that means they're due soon.

That's it. I'm fucking done with Earthrise. Fed up with so much of the line being exclusives that sell out in minutes that go up all times of the day and night. This is getting even sillier than Matty Collector. Collecting a toy line should not be stressful nor so unobtainable. Collectors of this line really do need to be online 24/7 to have a chance. Fuck that. It's only toys.
I'm out until Kingdom. Fed up.

Hasbro, stop. This is just too much. Yeah, I've had enough. There has been mission creep on exclusives. They used to be every now and then and SDCC. If you got them great, if not no harm. They tended to be interesting extras. Then we started to see more main characters be exclusives. Then they went to one a week. Then during that another two pop up early on a Saturday. Then the Bluestreak fiasco. Now they've started appearing and selling out overnight. Hasbro can't even stick to their 'one a week' Transformers Tuesday thing. It's stopped being fun and I am rapidly losing interest. Can't be arsed with this shit. Time to take a break from collecting. -Ralph |

A chunk of those are Target and Amazon exclusives. We know from US chums that the former can be very difficult to get. I don't know about the availability of the latter.

I've edited the post to show what is sourced where. Well over 50 % of the items on it have been found at general retail.

I think if the resident American says the toys aren't available in America I'm gonna go with that.
Online and Amazon isn't the same as being in stores, and we've all seen the shenanigans that Amazon pull with us.

One well understands the frustration from the POV of living in a country with just two retail chains that bother stocking Transformers, one of which isn't in my town or county.
However they are out here and I acknowledge that even if I can't get them. And, as I've shown, I can see that the majority of toys I listed are out in your country too.

I would add the caveat that with a pandemic on, many folk are avoiding retail and the US Postal Service has had problems this year. I agree there has been a lot of product released this year. I just think the availability of it to fans may be quite variable for lots of reasons. -Ralph |
