Want list

(based on what we've seen already)

Earthrise Sky Lynx
Earthrise Ironworks
Earthrise Hoist
Earthrise Micromasters in general
Siege Battle Patrol
Maybe Siege Astrotrain
Maybe Earthrise Optimus Prime
Earthrise Double Dealer
Earthrise Runamuck
Earthrise Smokescreen
Earthrise Airwave
Earthrise Skywarp

[Pinwig]

Wow the releases are so messed up at the moment. Greasepit hasn't officially been announced yet, but that's the second time this week I've heard someone say they have him. I also realised today we got Scorp here before America.

[Jim]

I get so lost with all the announcements! So he's only really a leak so far?

He went in stock at the main European importers last weekend. Maybe they were expecting the announcement at the Fan Friday.

[Pinwig]

It does seem likely that he and Exhaust were going to be in that reveal, but Pulse decided to eek the reveals out a bit to make more Fan Fridays. It's hard to guess what was supposed to go where this year. I don't think *all* of the Selects toys would have been kept for SDCC, but there does seem to be a lot of confusion about what is coming out when. Feels again like Hasbro making snap decisions in the US about their market and not thinking about the rest of the world.

[The Doctor]

I am fine with exclusives being spread out. Makes them more affordable and easier to get than last year's farce.

We know at one point Exhaust was mean to be revealed 24th July as was Alt Universe Op

tmukhub.proboards.com/post/412299/thread

I imagine plans have and are changing in the current season and something slipped through the cracks here. I like Hasbro forgetting the date on the cases, or worse sending them out with the wrong date on: that's typically Hasbro!

[Pinwig]

Yes that's what I mean - all the ones with 24/7 embargoes would have been SDCC announcements with immediate availability like last year, but because SDCC won't be the event this year that it usually is, they're spreading the toys out to create these Fan Friday mini events instead. But because that seems to be being done a little ad hoc by Pulse, the communication is getting to all the right places. The fact Exhaust was originally 24/7 but has now appeared in some places suggests Pulse changed the 24/7 to last week, told everyone, then changed it again and didn't tell everyone.

[Benn]

In... in one year? <faints>

[Slack]

Since March :-D. I have sold £10,000 worth of other collectibles though to fund it. There have been many, many boxes and one amazing wife.

[Benn]

MARCH?! <faints again, harder>

[Slack]

It's all about dedication and cold hard cash :-). Once Kingdom is done my collecting days are most definitely over

[Benn]

We'll let you and Shockprowl discuss how well that goes then!

[Slack]

I've got two young kids so it is really a necessity. I was only going to get WFC trilogy but then realised how many G1s were missed out, that's when I added POTP, TR and CW plus a few extras to fill in some gaps.

[Shockprowl]

I am one with Slack.



Except his wife sounds far more amenable than mine.

[Benn]

Today has seen me enter a real life toyshop for the first time since March and thus:

1. TR Sawback
2. WFC-S48 Spinister
3. WFC-S49 Crosshairs
4. WFC-E8 Bombshock and Decepticon Growl
5. WFC-S26 Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce
5. WFC-GS11 Decepticon Exhaust
6. WFC-GS13 Hubcap
7. WFC-E3 Trip-Up and Autobot Daddy-O

She doesn't like going up to the top floor where it is all kept so I don't think she really knows what is going on up there :-D


Which shop was it? That's quite a good selection.

[Benn]

Oh no, I only bought the last one today!

Toy Planet in Derby. I only remember seeing Wheeljack otherwise.

[Slack]

That makes a lot more sense :-D. I thought maybe it was a Forbidden Planet as they sometimes have selects in stock.

[Benn]

1. TR Sawback
2. WFC-S48 Spinister
3. WFC-S49 Crosshairs
4. WFC-E8 Bombshock and Decepticon Growl
5. WFC-S26 Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce
5. WFC-GS11 Decepticon Exhaust
6. WFC-GS13 Hubcap
7. WFC-E3 Trip-Up and Autobot Daddy-O
8. WFC-S50 Apeface

This list is going to expand a fair bit across the next few weeks as I have gotten a bit online crazy in the run up to TFN.

Apeface was an ebay find, for about £13, so that one at least wasn't too bad...

[Slack]

That's a really good price. The Facebook groups are good for siege figures at the moment

[Benn]

I think I'm done with Siege now. Maybe a Netflix Hound if one pops up, but it's way down the list.

[The Huff]

Snoopy
2 Bot bots
Cyberverse Whirl
Rung
Grapple
Kayaroyu
Reaction Jazz

During Lockdown:
Seige Brunt
ER Hoist
SS Shatter jet
SS Dropkick car
Seige Jetfire
Openplay Galvatron

2 more Botbots
One Step Repugnus
SCORPONOK
Hotlink

Yesterday I purchased
Off Road Bumblebee
& 4 more Botbots
from Smyths so it felt even more like I was at TFNation.

[The Doctor]

The benefit of moving house is that I have built up a hefty back-log of toys to open in a month or so. Got to point of thinking: 'opening toys means more bubblewrap for moving them' so they have stayed in their prisons until I have flitted.

AN ORGY OF PLASTIC AWAITS ME!!!

-Ralph

[Dezzeh]

Very much doing the same, young Ralph.

[Slack]

I have just finished all my unboxing, I left all the legends size stuff for last, I have so many plastic ties over the floor it is ridiculous
