And she's a transformer that turns into a human so she kind of has a loophole. I don't know if Sari of that decepticon lady from one of the bay movies came first. It took a while for them to make a transformer that turns into a human. I don't think Pretenders really count for that.

Sari isn't horrible. But Prime really did have the best human cast.

Gammatron 64 posted:She also grows up in the show in kind of a literal sense. Production notes do refer to Alice (the Bay lady) as a Pretender, though. And of course the thing about Alice is that it should have changed literally everything, because holy poo poo the Decepticons can look just like humans now! I thought the scene where they find Simmons was going to be a drawn out slapstick situation where they find various "hilarious" ways to prove he's really himself. But no, instead the entire idea is just never mentioned ever again. And we're back to that "better writers" thing again. Steve Vader posted:Oh, subservient Grimlock of the future. You may have literally escaped being turned off and kept in the storage closet of the Ark, but you never did figuratively, did you? Really makes you wonder what they did to Grimlock between 1987 and 2005, because the Grimlock of Season 2 would not have put up with that poo poo for a hot microsecond.

drat thanks for the heads up on Target clearance for Voltron. Picked up all but yellow lion for less than $50. Gonna hit up local Walmart’s to see if I can luck out on yellow before turning to marked up Amazon; but hell I was debating blowing more than $100 on these guys a month ago.

Amazon's not too bad, I had it bookmarked at $20 in case I couldn't find it locally.

I saw Rippersnapper at Target tonight but he'd be my final Decepticon limb for now and might put me on a path to go full on with Terrorcons and I don't know if I'm ready for that kind of commitment right now.

Street date is April 17th, so they definitely aren't supposed to be out yet. The major toy sites don't even have preorders up yet. The vanishing of TRU has me hyper vigilant for this line because I cannot miss that Blackout.

Kroger/Fred Meyer grocery stores and Meijer will have them. I saw all 4 deluxe and both voyagers today. The Chosen Prime has a case of the deluxe for $83 which is just about retail. Kroger prices are similar to TRU.

Walmart and Target will also be carrying them. The only store exclusive was Thundercracker. Unfortunately the one I had on hold at the nearby TRU "vanished" and I don't feel like paying $80 for it so I guess I will not be getting that one.

Hasbro has said they'd be doing something about the TRU exclusives(which reminds me I need to see if my local one still has Infernocus in stock)

Keldroc posted:Why will Stinger remain high, you think? Shortpacked? Being removed from the assortment at some point? Best of the wave, not just a Bumblebee repaint, previous version was super popular and very hard to find. Being screen accurate doesn't hurt it either. It's already sold out online unless you want to buy a case. $55 on Amazon. If this Kroger "novelty" sale applies I may go pick it up tomorrow. Edit: Unless they saturate the poo poo out of this line like the older movie stuff. But TLK had several bots that were scarce at retail and never made it to all markets. Cogman, Voyager Scorn, Nitro Zeus etc. Rhyno fucked around with this message at 07:19 on Mar 30, 2018 |

I've seen the current prices but Wave 1s usually saturate pretty quickly. TLK does make me a bit wary, though. Voyager Scorn and Nitro Zeus were pretty common her but I never saw a Cogman at retail, ever.

Got the MP Targetmaster Hot Rod and he's just as good as the other one except +1 gunman -all accessories. The Decepticon clones are also good deskfiddle so far.

Found all the studio series toys at Target, went for Ratchet and Blackout, the dildo behind the counter decided to “street date naw” me. Well guess I’ll keep walking to work at a way more profitable company that built its success on putting the customer first.
