Walmart Gives Countdown to New Transformer Exclusives

That reminds me what happened to Hasbro Pulse having Wave 2 and 3 of R.E.D? I'm interested in getting Arcee and maybe Cheetor, so will they be on the site or not?

Perhaos if the vehicle mode had been retooled to look less like a red Arcee I'd feel more inclined to buy one, but as is I don't know if she'll be worth it.

Kind of weird, I was at my local Walmart and she is the big shelfwarmer there. They had 8 Netflix deluxes. 5 Elita-1's, 2 Wheeljacks and a holdover Hound from wave 1. Perhaps that might be why some still have her at a normal price.

She's starting to shelfwarm in my area, actually, with 7 alone in one Walmart and hardly anybody else. Doesn't look good for the next wave.

Yeah my Wal-Mart has 8 Elitas and 7 Wheeljacks. It's crazy. If they get discounted I'm contemplating buying them for troopbuilding.

Wave 2 I spent $100 ($60 Spoiler Box, $20 on one Deluxe, & obtained the BM's from Optimus Prime without having to buy Prime Himself)

If all the Rumors regarding Wave 3 are accurate, I guess the Only thing I want is the Purple Paleotrex. Unless that Megatron Spoiler Box comes with something else incredibly cool, I don't need another WFC Megatron (and most people don't need a what...9th use of this mold??)

Why they change the formula now is beyond me. Sure I know that Kingdom Itself does not have Battlemasters, but they were never in the animated series anyway, so it shouldn't matter. I mean how cool would it have been to get an Optimus Primal with 2 Smashdown repaints? Or the Seeker with 2 Doublecrosser repaints?

I am drawing a blank, I thought this would mark a 7th release of the Megatron mold.

It's the 7th by my count as well, but it definitely feels like the 2,000th at this point.

Huh, all I get are 6:

Siege
Combat
Classic Animation
Netflix
Earthrise
G2

This second Netflix one would be the 7th.

Ah, OK, now I follow

So, is anybody else not going to bother pre-ordering this time? I'm leaning toward not bothering as I have zero confidence they will ship before I find them in store, if they ship at all.

Edit, if they show up on Pulse, then sure thing.

I'm gonna try and tune in or whatever to see what the releases are, but yeah, I ain't wasting time preordering. Walmart has never fulfilled a single preorder. I have seen every exclusive in-store at least once and purchased all the Walmart exclusives I have been after.

I don't plan on buying anything from this wave (maybe except the Seeker, depending on how zombie-ish it looks), but if I was, I wouldn't be pre ordering. Too much of a hassle, especially when I've found all of the Netflix figures I've wanted at physical retail.

I'll still put one in, if possible of course and assuming it's not just more Red figures. Doesn't hurt to try and it's pretty easy to cancel when (not if) things show up in stores a month or more before they start filling internet "preorders"

If the last two waves of Netflix toys are anything to go by, I’ll eventually find them in stores so no rush on preordering from their broken site. Also I’m hesitant to order anything from Walmart after the Allicons I had bought off them ended up being a Cliffjumper and Ironworks I already own...

Maybe its the Armada toys I've been waiting for!

Day 436 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

In its own thread.

Not sure what I want from the third wave of Netflix toys. Another of the megatron mold is out of the question and apparently there is very little difference in the Primal/Rattrap voyager combo, don't care for any of the rusty decos either. Oh wait, yeah I will get that Cheetor. But that's about it.

I'm pretty much only interested in the seeker because I love the mold. Cheetor is a maybe, I'm fine with the regular one.

ScottyP wrote:it's pretty easy to cancel when

Oddly enough last time , canceling my pre-order for the Spoiler Box #2 that had been in limbo, was the event that triggered getting the order fulfilled.

If the pack-in items are Voyager + Core, then I have no interest. (Voyager + 2 BM's was so much more fun). Failing that, then I hope that Pulse has some of the #3 Spoiler Box available as they did previously with #2, because pre-ordering from Walmart is an unmitigated disaster.

Hoestly though, If I can get the Purple Paleotrex online by itself for a reduced price that would be the best option. Besides I would think there has to be something else Voyager + Deluxe is only a $50 value, There has to be something else (either a core or 2 BM's) to make it worth $60. I can't see another WFC Mega coming with $10 worth of accessories (like Nemesis Prime), to make it worthwhile.

Hey I posted in Kingdom thread with news. I wants mah credit.

From the descriptions we've heard from the rumor mill, and the reminder of what the original Rattrap toy looks like now that Walmart's "Vintage Beast Wars" line has been revealed, I'm guessing the "barely different" Netflix Rattrap is supposed to be the "toy accurate" paint job. That might be the same for Netflix Optimus Primal as well.

Generally when there's a sighting of a figure at retail it gets newsed. Or am i wrong about that?

Again, nothing's been news'd as of this typing.

And, why bring it up in the Netflix thread in a conversation regarding the Netflix figures on Hasbro Pulse when what you posted was Kingdom news in the Kingdom thread?

It all depends, in a case like Netflix Soundwave that is likely to sell out before they can news it, usually doesn't get newsed, since that would just frustrate people who click the news article just to be disappointed that is is already sold out.

Also the number 1 rule if you want a news credit, use the submit news link.

Because Wolfman Jake, a news guy, was in the thread since we're having an interrogation.

At the very top of the site, there's a header bar with social media icons linking to seibertron's social pages. On the right hand side of that, there is a shop link, followed by "Submit News". You can also access it from the drop down menus below the first ad bar; It is the second to last link in the 'news' submenu, at the far left.

Thanks. I did go and find it after that post. From now on I'll post there when I find something.

Various people on Twitter are sharing these images of the Netflix wave 3 3-packs.

I won't be getting that seeker but I love the paint job! Awesome!

That Primal and rattrap pack looks like a big waste of time though haha not that it means much coming from me but the differences are barely noticeable if at all

Well that's cool. The seeker does come with 2 BM's even if they are repaints of existing ones, I'll definitely be getting that. Primal would have been an instant purchase with 2 Smashdown repaints...oh well....

The seeker is an instant buy. I'm curious about the battlemasters. The Firedrive repaint matches the Seeker, but the Blowpipe repaint looks to be different. I'm wondering if they are going for one of the missing target masters similar to how they released captive Lionizer and Pinpointer.

Good eye. I like the deco enough I might pull the trigger on the seeker, but I don't see any real difference in Primal and Rattrap.

TFW has an article up that includes shots of the alt modes and the backs of the boxes as well:

Looks like the Primal set is basically just metallic paint versions of the figures, kinda like Netflix Cheetor's blue? A bit boring, maybe it looks better in-hand/in actual photos. Glad I didn't wait for it though.

The Seeker actually looks really good to me, the color scheme almost reminds me of Prime Skyquake (which is fitting given it's supposed to be a zombie, I suppose) and I'm glad it uses the superior WFC Seeker mold. Is it bad though that at this point I'm just amused by yet another gun Battlemaster repaint completely not matching their box render deco at all?

EDIT: Oh, and it looks like there's a VERY high chance these'll go up on Pulse as well, since the Pulse email today about restocks and the UK site also specifically calls out that there will be preorders on Monday that coincides with Walmart's thing.

I really like the Seeker, it looks just alive enough that I can pretend it's just a regular guy

Netflix Optimus Primal's robot mode feet are now original toy and cartoon accurate gray instead of blue. Rattrap's teeth aren't painted. Besides using slightly different color tones/hues/whatever, has anyone spotted any other differences?

Wolfman Jake wrote:Netflix Optimus Primal's robot mode feet are now original toy and cartoon accurate gray instead of blue. Rattrap's teeth aren't painted. Besides using slightly different color tones/hues/whatever, has anyone spotted any other differences?

Primal has a bit more paint on his hands and slightly different (less?) paint on his bot chest. I'm not spotting anything else, just a darker color palette.

That Seeker is giving me Vietnam camo vibes...

I like it! I have an idea for his name and personality actually- Double Ugly with Nape and Snake (slang names for the Phantom, napalm canisters and bombs respectively). A psychotic Decepticon jungle soldier with a penchant for deforestation and pyromania, and also a bit of a (loathsome) skirt chaser.

Autobot N wrote:I really like the Seeker, it looks just alive enough that I can pretend it's just a regular guy

That's what I'm planning, just need to come up with a name. For starters I'll go with Sparky and Less for the battlemasters, playing off sparkless until I think of something better.

Fellow Seibertronian Aronjlove shared photos of new products that are being posted all across the internet, like on this Facebook page. These photos show what the Netflix wave 3 voyagers will look like and, well, we will let you be the judge. As with previous Netflix voyagers, these are multipacks of a voyager figure paired with smaller figures. We have a sparkless seeker that is paired with sparkless targetmasters. It is the siege mold, which makes sense since that matches the show model used for the sparkless seekers on the Netflix show. The other voyager pack is made up of Kingdom Optimus Primal and Rattrap which don't have major deco changes from the regular releases in the sense that they their decos are not representing a different aspect of these characters.

The deluxes that are coming in wave 3 are a sparkless Barricade, Quintesson guard Ironhide, Cheetor and a yet to be shown sparkless Deep Cover.

Let us know what you think of these!

sol magnus wrote:You know, I've never found that link now that you mention it.

Have you never read my signature?

REALLY gonna need comparison pics for Primal and Rattrap with their normal versions. The differences are just that subtle.

The Seeker looks like one of the dark green ones seen in the show.
