In which case they probably didn't get very many; they're always complaining about Hasbro's allocations like Star.

Okay, so given the Hero set from last year is still available... This one will be an instant sell out?

Two not A list characters, two regularly used moulds.
Not sure I see this as being the hottest ticket ever.
In it's favour is it ties into last year's set and is another (the third) set from a prominent cartoon episode, it ties into the Amazon line as well as a different Transformers origin and neither of these forms of these characters have a Generations update.

Two remoulded Deluxes with minimal extras - £50?
I may stick an order in to be safe, definitely if the shipping date is September onwards. But then I also feel I ought to be on Yellow Grimlock 'just in case'.

FFS.
I had no idea he was that popular a character.

Hopefully. I am rather fond of Tow-line/Wrecker Hook and I could go owning a version of him again. Mind you, he won't be anywhere long I don't think. After all... "No parking, means No Parking!"

Interesting. I thought we were done with that sort of business. Although those jumps are a few weeks and not six months.

Meanwhile, the final episodes of Earthspark have just aired, and yet it's still impossible to buy figures of many of the main cast. You have one job, Hasbro. One job.

I'm disappointed to see that none of the exclusives are on this week's solicitations either. All the latest Legacy announcements are, though.

Got the War Dawn set today and it's complete shite.
Erial has two right elbows, making her left arm bend backwards. And it's not something than can be fixed.
Dion's left arm doesn't stay on, and his backpack doesn't peg in place.
Actually contacting Pulse about a replacement or return.

The Dion issues are common alas. Absolutely no clutch on my left arm and while I can get the backpack on it knocks off ever so easy.

I only bought the Pax set because I thought it would look good with this one.

Maybe I'll luck out and they'll send another without wanting this set back, and I can make a decent Dion out of the two of them.
Something similar happened with Gen Select Exhaust through BBTS.
Got a very bad bum one, and once I proved it, they just sent me a new one without wanting it back.
The new one was also unusable, but in a completely different way. (The first one was knees fused in a way that prevents movement and transformation, and I think the second had something to do with the torso or arms)
Took the two apart and assembled a working version.
Looking back to "prime wars" and early "wfc," Hasbro's QC issues have improved a bit since Warden left. I'd forgotten about it, but I remember these things being a lot more common in Generations and Studio.
