This is Phil's revenge for me voting for the modulators in the worst toy category. They're rubbish, but they colour coordinate with Sky Lynx so I must have them to expand his base mode.
But is this the final end of the Micromasters?

*the Micromasters regenerate into sticks of celery*
Botbots were the next incarnation of Micromasters all along!

I suspect you might find those toys eerily familiar.

I've had the dreaded 'These Micromasters are delayed until March' email.
Boo.

Dislike.
I, on the other hand, got a "Your parcel from IN DEMAND TOYS is due to be delivered Today, Thursday, 28 January 2021" email. Sorry.

Just so I'm clear: Are these Amazon exclusives?

Yes.

Just so I'm clear: Are these Amazon exclusives? Yes. In Theory. There does appear to be some more generally available stock in the far east as their frequently is with western store exclusives, hence the ones IDToys got tmukhub.proboards.com/post/438992/thread |

Cheers.
I'm not terribly fussed, as long as they get here eventually! It just boggles the mind that Amazon continue to struggle with their own exclusives, especially as its a supposed direct line from Hasbro.

It can happen. I remember when Toys R'Us had TF exclusives but I couldn't get them as the Edinburger store never got them in!

The micromaster set has been delayed, but the Barricade set has been pushed forward to the next week or two (can't remember).
And not Odyssey, but pulse just charged me for the SG set, so that's about to drop.

I've had the same two alterations and SG Optimus and Ratchet were sent out to me today

ID have updated their release schedule to say the SG set has arrived. I got all excited then remembered mine are coming from Kapow. I'm not fussed about Micromaster delays. Despite the rollercoaster that is Amazon exclusives, I don't think these sets have quite the pulling power of something like the Coneheads so when they eventually do ship I would think there won't be any problems. March is fine by me because it means more of the Feb budget to spend!

Barricade and Counter-Punch dispatched from Amazon.com. delivery date of Feb 10th this time rather than a few days

I got mine in today, and it's worth it just for the barricade.
He really needs reprolabels to jazz hin up, because he's really plain. But he's leaps and bounds better than the Siege version.
To think I nearly passed on it!
Although it makes it extremely irritating that they didn't give Prowl his shoulder cannons though.
There's nothing really to say about Punch/Counterpunch. It's the same toy that's just a color variation of what had been previously available.

Just had an email from Amazon about the Micromaster set. The dispatch date has now been bumped up a week, to March 3rd.

Mad theory time: Punch/Counterpunch was MEANT to be Nightbeat but they used the original parts instead of the replacement chest and head: |

Post by Benn on Feb 19, 2021 21:57:00 GMT
No no, that's a week sooner! Also, I've been saying those are Nightbeats colours since the toy was shown. Way too bright for Punch. |

Post by Philip Ayres on Feb 19, 2021 22:01:18 GMT
The yellow round the lower edge is odd if it's not meant to be Nightbeat. And there's a lot of other detail similarities, especially the shape of the windows and the legs.
I could see there being alternate parts but for some reason the toys were delivered using the original ones but in the new colours.

He'd need all the yellow parts recast in blue with the chest painted yellow to be accurate. Given that the yellow on the car parts is paint, I don't think it's too much of a stretch to think that was the plan.

Change of head and I'd buy that.
But then I'd be hankering after Siren and Hosehead. It's all about the teams!

Change of head and I'd buy that. Space in the cockpit for a Titanmaster if you eliminated the second head. |
