The Centurion Drone is WFC-E33: he's Earthrise, not Selects !!!!! I'll have a little cry in the corner, a strong cup of tea and then take the Selects thread apart..... |

But he's in a Selects box!

Interesting. I'm sure in the Fan Friday thing they said Selects. But then we all remember the madness of the T30 numbering. This is probably Hasbro breaking their own system. Either that or something yet unseen has been pulled and they're fiddling the numbers to patch the hole.

This is very interesting. We had speculated that ER may be curtailed due to Kingdom or the Current Situation. Perhaps some of the Target/Amazon/Wallmart/Selects toys were originally designed for ER. But then with his bag of accessories he wouldn't have fit a price point for ER.

He's being sold online exclusively. He doesn't need to fit a set price point.

My point was in wondering if he hadn't originally been intended as an Exclusive if he has an ER number.

It's just selects that's had its own so far to bridge it across all three chapters. It's certainly odd. I'd be surprised if Centurion was ever a retail figure though. It's just too obscure. |

Thinking about it, what may have happened is that it was going to be someone else's exclusive but fell through so Hasbro have repackaged the toy in a selects box to put it out themselves. It just already had an ER number so it kept it to avoid a gap in the numbering. Walgreens have been very quiet. Usually we've had a computer listing leak way before now.

There will probably be a second round as it's an ID exclusive. The one they had last year, Lancer, came up several times and ended up in a sale.

Hmmm. The more I see of this accessory pack the more it looks like low quality 3d printed stuff someone has done in their room rather than a Hasbro product. Do Roller's wheels even move? The rocket pack in particular just does not fit with Sideswipe when it looks like that!

Maybe it comes with a selection of paints and a brush.

At least that shows Roller's wheels move. Ah, so that’s where all the expense goes. Seriously though, these accessories look dreadful. I can understand to an extent the rocket pack just being a shell - that way it can fit on more toys without so much fuss. But at the same time, it’s just a shell. Of flat, boring plastic. Regretting my pre-order right now..., |

As am I. The accessories look Poundland quality. Dreadful.

I must confess I don't understand why they haven't slapped some red paint on the rocket pack. That's Sunbow accuracy gone out the window and the only two characters to use it in the show were both red anyway...
