After 0.2 seconds of consideration, I'm keeping my Gen deluxe warpath.

Yes it is, it currently says sold out. It sold out fast and as far as I know was never restocked (I managed to get 2). But that also makes it a bad case to measure whether weapons only packs would sell as many wanted to troop build the Centurion drones, while others didn't want them at all and only wanted the weapons (I wanted multiples of both).

It was restocked. I got an email about it. But, obviously, I thought nothing of it because I already had it.

Go to the page for each item on Amazon, and report a lower price and give them the link to Gamestop's page for each item. In enough of us do it, it might make Amazon lower their price to match Gamestop and give us all the better pricing that have pre-ordered on Amazon. You can find the link to report a lower price in the Product Information area, under the feedback heading (scroll down a bit).

I'll be curious to see if this will work before scalpers see the price and wipe Gamestop out of stock.

Here are the links to Gamestop for anyone who wants to try this out. I've already submitted them myself.

IT WORKED!!! For Inferno at least, he is now showing $24.99 on Amazon.

The buzzworthy bumble bee is part of its own line (because transformers is short of lines haha) the studio series figures are reissues dunno them well enough to say if they are repaints in anyway.

Known so far:

World War bee SS
Shatter car mode SS
Bee with Charlie SS dunno if it includes any parts from the garage set.
That coreish/legends figure

Its actually supposed to be Charlie that bee comes with not with mikheala, but Buzzworthy Bumblebee is quite the odd item :-?

edited a few times

the bee with charlie will def be an oddity if it doesnt iclude the upgrade parts, not sure how they will pack cases of them or what they will use for voyagers and leaders. Indemand put some photos up on farcebook today for them.

Yeah, I'll be newsing them in a moment, don't know how they do it (or how Hasbro feels about it) but they do have a knack for reveals.

Ok, just saw the picture from in demand. Only one i might be interested is old camaro bee, assuming it is the version with pinned backpack.

Also, what's the idea behind buzzworthy? The packaging sorta implies it is a line consisting of bumblebees of various era, and the toy is indeed seems to be all bumblebee, but then there's shatter, that seems to be the odd one of the bunch.

I'm just curious, even though this is a "sub-line" shouldn't this conversation be in the SS thread, not the Kingdom thread?

Indeed, well the Studio Series releases should...the Bee and Spike set on the other hand, that muddies the waters a bit since it looks like Buzzworthy Bumblebee doesn't care where the source molds come from :-?

Might be worth its own thread to keep it all together. It also has that Authentics Bumblebee picture on the bubble to even further muddy things.

Unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, Amazon is starting to charge for Paleorex and possibly other deluxes.

I ordered the 4 deluxes and 2 Voyagers all on 1 order. Amazon so far has split my Paleotrex into a separate order that says previous ship date Feb 3rd, new ship date Feb. 3rd. So there's that?

They did that with my Rattrap but then they actually shipped him early.

Yeah this is super weird. I was charged yesterday for Paleotrex, and there is even a tracking #, (looks I could have it as soon as tomorrow!) but it actually doesn't show "shipped" yet on Amazon's site.... :???:

I'd be super thrilled if this were the case, I haven't obtained a new line item this early since PotP.

I bought my first 1989 Snake-Eyes off the rack at Toys R Us in 1988.

I got PotP deluxe wave 1 in late November 2017 ( employee at Target pulled from the back for me), but with Siege and ER, I didn't get anything until well into the new year.

yeah earthrise took forever to show up, but I managed to get the siege leaders in late December

That might be because of Siege wave 5. Seems like it came out when the new lines usually do and pushed ER back to around when wave 2 usually comes out

Okay, now they lumped him back in with the other 5. :HEADHURTS:

That's amazing, I did the same thing! I had originally bought Big Boa in '88 who had an '87/'88 release, but his O-ring broke in the parking lot at Ames. My mom let me quickly run back inside and exchange it for another and I was going to grab another Big Boa, but then I see Snake-eyes there with his fancy jointed staff and big knives on his chest and I just had to have him. It stands out vividly in my mind since I was 8 at the time and it was the first time I exchanged something alone.

Found this on transformers botposting fb group. Not sure if this is a widespread problem, but reviewer primevsprime has this happened on his copy too, so this probably worth mentioning, just in case.
