Thanks to Kremzeek Reviews, we have a new image of the upcoming deluxe Barricade from the third wave of Walmart exclusive Transformers Netflix products. This is the toy in a sparkless deco, which are the zombies in the first season. We are supposed to get this deco for the seeker mold and lambo mold as well for you to build a whole army of sparkless bots. This is the third image we have of this toy, meaning a few got their hands on it.

One option is to ask fellow board members to keep an eye out for what you want.

The only problem is they need to get a WFC Chromia head and paint it Moonracer's color to be show accurate .

Dont give in to scalpers, that just further encourages them to continue existing.

I agree with you on this, but on the other hand I see the ER Ironhide/Prowl two-pack on sale at TFSource for $150 and wonder what separates scalpers from some of the retailers out there.

I'm tired of hunting these figures out. At first I wasn't going to get Bumblebee as I'm a huge fan of the original Classics figure and not really into BB himself. But, given his place in the franchise, and the fact that this is an official VW figure too and that he'd probably be really pricy to get later on I figured "why not?" Plus I got Botcon Bugbite last year so that mold still has a place in my collection in that form.
Glad I did. He's a nice, tidy, TF. I didn't pick up Cliffy since I am not down for replacing the GDO figure I still like, so this is my only experience with the mold. And it's not bad. It's a shame about the partsforming, but the overall look sells me on it despite that.
Wish I found him in person, but them's the breaks sometimes.

Completely understand...
It's relatively frustrating when there seems to be nothing (or at least what you're specifically looking for) in-stores for months. I'm going to probably end up asking in the Buy, Sell, Trade forum if someone can get BB for me...
Out of the entire Netflix line, BB is one of the only ones I REALLY want (honestly other than Soundwave)... I bought Prime because I liked the paint apps and the blue inner lower legs. *Also because I never saw ER Prime in a store. Hotlink was the one Cybertron seeker mold I wanted, also because of the overall color scheme and just being different.
And both were bought a bit in response to the fact that I couldn't find other figures (from ER) that I wanted.
However, I'm not willing to pay way over $20 for a really small deluxe... So we'll see.

I'm of two minds about it. In the cartoon the bot mode should be that small. But I feel that the vehicle mode is way too small and that Classics Bee actually scales better next to other TFs. I have the iGear "minibots" to fill out most of them so most of them are deluze class for me.
But the small bee really is a slick TF once you get past the partsforming.

How much did you pay for each?

Yeah, it seems like they blew the paint budget and figured it was good enough as it is.
Still like it, though.

I like it better this way. Rusted painted metal doesn't just turn to a rust color, it fades, cracks, and peals. The multi color faded look seems more realistic to me, like it degraded in different ways.
I find the molding intriguing. Just looking at the arms, Prowl and Smokescreen have shoulders and forearms that are the same color, the rest of the arms are black. Barricade's shoulders are black, but the rest of the arm is lavender. Bluestreak has dark gray shoulders and forearms, red biceps, and light gray fists. Then Sparkless here has shoulders and forearms the same color and biceps and fist the same color. What the heck is the parts layout on this mold?

What has been scarce is the Wave 2 Voyager sets. I think half of the Walmarts in my area got one or two cases each, which is 2x Soundwave and 2x Optimus Prime. Never found Soundwave, but managed to get an Optimus Prime before they were all gone in a matter of days.
I’ve been to Walmart way more times than I would normally go hunting for bee. I definitely haven’t seen well stocked shelves, though there have been the occasional Netflix figures, with Elita being the most common for a bit. I think I saw OP once, but he is available online for the same price at least. Seems even when Bee drops to OPs price he gets sold out really quick online.

My friend want a ER Optimus but he don't want to pay for that cheap-ass trailer. So his best option is the Netflix one.
No way of knowing in Quebec since Walmarts have their toy sections cut off due to government regulation. But I did get mine before the lockdown, yes, so they were around.
Lockdowns or not, my local Walmart never, ever bothered having any Netflix figures in stock.
That sucks, dude.
I live in Holland.

yeah...

Glad I waited, this looks WAY better than the default Cheetor to me.
I just wish I didn't have to go to Walmart of all places to get it.

They've done this often over the years. Back in the day, people would wait until the end of the line to pick up the figures they wanted, in the colors and style they wanted.
Posted by Sowndwave76 on February 4th, 2021 @ 7:12pm CST
I've liked a lot of the SG figures, and regret not collecting at least a few of those.
Considering I don't have this Siege mold, I'll think about getting him.
Then I also realize I don't know how it really fits into my collection or especially a display set-up.

I don't think it would matter to hasbro, they've already had the sale to walmart. I preoredered three things from three different lines on the first day they were available to preorder and have had them all cancelled, that's on hasbro more than the retailer:(

I feel your pain. I still can't find Netflix Soundwave. I was close a few times before Xmas, only finding a stray Netflix Optimus Prime left in the wake, and now there has been NOTHING for the whole month of January at Walmart as far as Netflix figures.
It's entirely Walmart's fault, by the way, that pre-orders are cancelled. Hasbro simply sells them an allotment of toys, and then Hasbro is done with the transaction. Walmart then has to handle the logistics of setting aside so many for pre-order and then distributing the rest to their warehouses and then to individual stores. Walmart's inventory infrastructure is hot, wet garbage that is continually on fire and kicking puppies. What irks me is that retailers come to Hasbro asking/begging for exclusives, and then Hasbro obliges, and then the retailers, particularly Walmart, screw it up time and again.
