People on this site and elsewhere have complained that the buzzworthy toys are overabundant. Including Silverstreak who just came out.

My Targets are starting to stock less and less of the newer Buzzworthy stuff. Only Silverstreak has been easy to find. For Kup, I had to go out of my way to find just one at a Target across town, while Cliffjumper still completely eludes me. It's only leftovers of older Buzzworthy stock from last year that I can still find on my Targets' shelves, and not a whole lot of it at that.william-james88 wrote:Cheetron wrote:Buzzworthy bumblebee products well stocked at targets?

It also doesn't help that the Batman/DC toy section right next to the Transformers section at my Targets has started to spill over and take up more space, invading some of the Transformer section space. Several Batmobiles are put on shelves where Leader and Voyager class toys are supposed to be, but aren't because of the Bat-abundance.

That will happen when one toyline has a movie out while the other does not. The Batnan section is spilling out onto the Transformers at my Walmarts too.

I haven't found Silverstreak yet (got him online) and the one time I found Kup I bought him. In my area are Origins Bumblebee and Cliffjumper seem to be the easiest to find of the Deluxes, probably because of their sizes.

Wow. I haven't seen CLiff in this area in about a month, and the Kups are drying up, too at this point. Origin Bee is clogging the shelves.

The main reason I bring this up now is that this appeared on TFW:
As a reminder, the other figures in the set are supposed to be Goldbug, Ransack, and Toy Colors BW Scorponok.

That's because that's the camaro toy from the Bumblebee movie, it's just a re-release in new packaging.

Yep. We did see a little bit of the normal Camaro during filming as well, though.

Not sure I get the point of this comment since:
1) it's just rereleased products from the previous movie
2) he does start off in the film with that alt mode

One steps have been sold like this for half a decade now and there's been no pushback from retailers for this type pf packaging, so theft must be minimal. Plus, there's nothing stopping thieves from just stealing the box. With self checkout, theft has been made really easy, regardless of packaging.

So we've now seen leaks for half the 4-pack, just Ransack and Goldbug to go. I'm really hoping this one goes up on Pulse, since I never saw the Kingdom one at my Target and this one is looking better suited to my tastes than the Kingdom one (since the only figure I really wanted in that one was the one that shares my username).

Yeah, uh, they did it again with the Toy Colors Scorponok from the Buzzworthy Legacy 4-pack and this time decided to doxx another leaker with it instead of putting slurs on it. So here's the shopped version of the image that I found:TFW users who saw the original version before it was taken down are attesting to the legitimacy of this being that same photo, and are also saying that the figure has both the show head sculpt attached and the visible mutant head next to it, meaning this stolen sample either came with both heads on accident (like Kingdom Blackarachnia and her "mask") or is going to do the same thing SG Magnus is doing and come with both heads.

That dude is 100% a total asshole. It's not the first time he doxxes someone.

I’m hoping it does come with both heads. Options are great and please more fans. I hope Legacy Sandstorm comes with both heads so fans can recreate his in fiction design. The head shown so far is apparently the wrong one to many.

If the latter, then that bugs me even more that Sandstorm uses the Mutant head instead of his true head.Nemesis Primal wrote:TFW users who saw the original version before it was taken down are attesting to the legitimacy of this being that same photo, and are also saying that the figure has both the show head sculpt attached and the visible mutant head next to it, meaning this stolen sample either came with both heads on accident (like Kingdom Blackarachnia and her "mask") or is going to do the same thing SG Magnus is doing and come with both heads.

This is the only version of the mold I own, so others may have more helpful insight, but everything about him seems good to me. The only thing I would say is that the shoulder guns are slightly loose in their pegholes, but I don't know if that's normal or not and even then it's pretty nitpicky. That, and when I first transformed him, he made a surprisingly/alarmingly-loud click noise when I got the legs in place, but it's been fine since then, and again, that may just be normal, I wouldn't know.Sentinel_Primal wrote:So, to those of you that have picked up Silverstreak/Bluestreak, how's the quality of it?

Does the plastic and joints feel solid? This is specifically an issue I've had with other Buzzworthy figures but some have had really loose joints and some felt like they had cheaper plastic than mainline releases of the molds
Posted by sol magnus on April 19th, 2022 @ 9:28am CDT
People who had 'problems' were either saddled with a bad copy or perhaps were ham-fisted handling the toy.
Recently I considered kit-bashing a more accurate Prowl using the Silverstreak legs but I canceled the project, again because of the availability of Prowl should I need a replacement.

Does anyone know:
Does Target do store-to-store shipping??
And do they fulfill online orders by pulling product from store shelves (not just online order pick-up)?
Here's why I ask...
Less than a week ago, as I was hunting for Kickback, Dragstrip, and Silverstreak, my go-to location had 4 SS86 Kups, and 2 Blurrs. There were also 4 BW Megatrons.
Literally less than 2 days later, ALL 4 Kups and 1 Blurr were gone. ALL 4 Megatrons were gone.
Oh, and during the first visit, there were 5 Buzzworthy Kups...
Just a little strange that 4 SS8 Kups would sell and not 1 of the Buzzworthy versions.
Also, both B-127's and that one CJ have been there as long as those 5 Kups as well.
Anyway.
The photos below are from roughly an hour ago.
We stopped by so my son could get a birthday present for a friend.
Surprisingly there are still 5 Buzzworthy Kups... And you can see the lone SS86 Blurr still there, too.
Again, it just seems so unlikely that those 4 SS86 Kups AND 4 BW Megatrons sold in under 48 hours.
I mean, those two stops I made were really pretty close to 36 hours apart.
I get it, it's possible that all 8 of those figures sold... It just seems so unlikely.
????
Also, you can't see them all, but this store STILL has 8 SS86 Coronation Starscreams...
I'm already so sick of seeing those...

Probably not, for both of those? Distribution centers exist for a reason.Sowndwave76 wrote:Does anyone know:

Not really that strange, considering how hard it is to tell the difference between them and the fact that the Buzzworthy ones are more expensive at your store according to your pictures. Little Jimmy buying a Kup and/or the parents buying a Kup for Little Jimmy are almost assuredly going to grab the cheaper option unless they have a specific reason not to, and I don't think casual buyers like that are paying attentions to things like the color of his tires.Sowndwave76 wrote:Just a little strange that 4 SS8 Kups would sell and not 1 of the Buzzworthy versions.

To add some details:
Target has multiple shipment and store holding options, and their availability varies by product and even store. As others note above, shipping comes from distribution centers, whether ship-to-home or ship-to-store. For some products and stores, you can order online and pick up in-store for products that are on their shelves, but they generally won't ship store-to-store or store-to-home. I'd actually asked in the past when there was a set available at a store pretty far from me.
So all that is to say, one way or another, someone probably did go into that store and buy those.

And I even checked endcaps of my go-to store; two other locations, one near my work, one near-ish my home both have had TF on random endcaps of their toys sections...
So it does seem all 8 of those figures I mentioned sold. Just crazy that happened in under 40 hours.
Really kind of makes me think there was scalper-type buying going on as at least part of it.

Certainly possible. If I was going to do toy arbitrage, I would go after retailer exclusives, but it's high risk and you might have to wait for years for the payoff.

Which also makes this odd... SS86 Kup and BW Megatron have been available from most retailers.
Oh well... I guess it kind of clears out more space for Legacy figures, I suppose!

Going just by the photos, my guess is 2 separate heads. For the regular head the "jowls" or whatever has the yellow tips appear to hang down lower than the chin. On the mutant head, the "jowls" appear to be even with the bottom of the chin, so if it was a mask or helmet, I think we would see the yellow tips of the regular head peeking out from under.

We don't know if this Scorponok will actually come with alternate heads. Prime vs Prime gets his figures through unknown sources, with no box or instructions, probably test shots stolen from the factory. This means sometimes he gets extra or missing parts. When he got Blackarachnia, he got her with an extra face too, the toy accurate one, which wasn't included in the final product.
Posted by Nemesis Primal on April 22nd, 2022 @ 2:42pm CDT
To be fair though, the fact that both Scorponok heads are actually painted here does lead some credence to the fact that it may come with both intentionally. The Blackarachnia face/mask was unpainted.Rtron wrote:SpaceEagle wrote:With this and SG Magnus, I like HasTak giving us spare heads to let us choose which one we want them displayed with!
