Tsk. Anyone would think that had happened to you before...
Many times.

I mean they did already do that weird, tiny Buzzworthy Bumblebee. There's still time for them to decide that's the new Minibot scale...
But, if that's not a misconversion, I'm very disappointed in that robot mode chest just hanging on the back of the vehicle there - that's very lazy.

Well, with John "Siege Starscream" Warden gone, I kinda thought that such robot chest placements were behind us.

So who wants to bet Windcharger is at a whole new scale, or that it'll be a new Bumblebee at a new scale first? Don't even joke about it!

I am shocked this is the first Sandstorm for 11 years.
Given all the redone characters over the last 5 years or so I was certain there must have been another one.
Quite like it.

I like the T30 Sandstorm version more than the Springer version. Such a shame it never got used again (*cough*transmetal megatron*cough*)

I've reached the stage now where I am happy enough with already having decent toys for certain characters. I'm happy enough with the T30 incarnation so don't want to spend £55 on a new one.

Sandstorm is a childhood fave so I'll have to have this, but I hope he can be posed so he doesn't look quite so much like an orange stuck on a couple of pipe cleaners.

I like the T30 Sandstorm version more than the Springer version. You are not alone in that, I didn't think the underlying design really felt right as Springer, but I thought it was absolutely fantastic as Sandstorm. Karl

That Op is in one of the later united retail waves isn't it?
Still wish we were getting more Armada than Cybertron.

Armada Tidal Wave and Galvatron play Cybertron Hotshot, Starscream & Vector Prime Size wise Armada is winning it, plus there's the toys from last year where Cybertron has Galaxy Force Op & Titan Metroplex a little further back. Starscream's an excellent choice since we didn't get the original voyager and Vector Prime is a good one too. BUT We want Armada Minicons. We want SG Sideswipe & Minicon in the Wheeljack colours. We want more cons. We want Starscream's repaints and remoulds. Surprised Vector Prime is Jhiaxus but can just about see it. I thought Jhiaxus was destined to be Armada Thrust, banged to rights. He may well still be, just odd to see something else get a use of the mould first.

Here's the studio series we know: Core BB isn't there. I wonder if he's confusing it for the deluxe "Next Gen" on? There were multiple BBs mentioned at one point:

I was going to say that I was impressed that they've packaged Sandstorm with a cage, because that's... you know... a *play* feature. Which I thought was forbidden these days.
And then I realised that that cage is the extra accessory which justifies a Voyager class toy being sold at a Leader price point, and compared to the accessories we've had with other, similarly-sized figures, it... does not hold up so well.

Wow! that's massive - not quite Dinobot massive, but close. After a long period with no must-buys I expect I'll be ordering this one.
Can we get Octane next please? The tanker bit needs to be super chrome of course.
