So, Neon Sideswipe sold out nearly immediately. He's not on Walmart.con. They've all been bought on eBay? What is up with Neon Sideswipe?

Hasbro's had Power Rangers for a few years now, and I'm surprised they haven't done some sort of crossover Megazord.

That’s how things are typically. That’s why they have these (Red) and (Blue) disclaimers in the first place. FIBRIR is otherwise the default with Hasbro.

I just saw them in store and Sideswipe was the only one missing. It’s a conspiracy.

It looks like Sideswipe and Breakdown are short packed like Cosmos was. Delightful.

Well, Eurogoons know what they have to do for the Secret Santa this year I guess.

EDIT: one may preorder the Shattered Glass Rodimus and Sideswipe 2-pack from Pulse now if one wishes to.

One set of characters drive around in the van because it's the only access to transportation they have in a small town. It doesn't factor in or appear at all until Season 4. If the show made an attempt to sell me on how cool the pizza van the new comic relief character drives is, I didn't pick up on it.

My Toxitron arrived easier this week and he's a great color for that mold. I even almost kept the front of the box because the illustration was so cool looking.

I'm tempted by the others but A: I don't feel like hunting for them and B: Now is really not the time for me to be spending a ton on figures I only kinda want as I'm leaving my stable job in a week to go freelance.

Tried to go pick up a Toxitron deluxe at my local Walmart, but when I got there, they didn’t have any of that poo poo, much to my disappointment.

They did have Armada Megatron, however, so I ended up grabbing that instead. He’s pretty rad! Just a great looking figure that’s fun to mess with. If I had one complaint for this guy, it’d be that I feel like he should come with like, at least one extra accessory. A minicon would be nice, but I could accept it if the budget just wouldn’t allow for it without screwing up the price, but like, if this thing had at least like, a knife or an extra gun or something? Like hell, if they included a version of the Skyboom Shield or Requiem Blaster, much like how the recent Armada Screamer had a version of the Star Saber, that would be awesome, even if they had to be a little smaller than usual.

Armada Megatron is still great and I love it, but I felt like it needed just a little more to be truly amazing. Like, I love Transmetal 2 Megatron, and he gets away with not having a lot else beyond the figure itself because of him turning into a loving awesome mecha dragon with really cool wings.
