Kingdom Slammer and Pipes Found at US Retail

All we are missing is a US sighting for kingdom Hot Rod and the US will have had all 5 waves found at US retail before Christmas.

We know that the Golden Disk toys are shipping out in different places across the world and someone in Japan got the Golden Disk Terrorsaur. We thank fellow Seibertronian Immortal Starscream for sharing this review with us.

While till not a fan of the fake chest and other innacuracies (height and ugly beast mode head), I do like how much more compact he was able to make the backpack. I was able to achieve a similar look with Airrazor and I love that toy. So I am starting to be ever so slightly less pessimistic about this toy.

So he does come with the wrong disk. That's a minor bummer. He looks like he's a little bit taller than Airazor, doesn't he? And it definitely looks like he'll be the second tallest Predacon until Inferno is out, so his size is accurate in that regard, at least.

Puffer and Road Ranger don't actually include a disk do they?

I threw out the card board insert and failed to notice any disk in it.

Hope I didn't actually throw out the disk.

He is available and shipping now from Walgreens.com for 22.99. He won't be sold anywhere else in the US, at least not at this price. This items has been available throughout the world much earlier than this, but it's taken till now for a US release. This is the longest it's taken for a Walgreens exclusive.

Her is the link: https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/trans ... 60-product

Sheesh that was quick! I even had a gut feeling that I should check their site yesterday but never did.

With that I'm basically just waiting for Perceptor and Blaster.

I think it's been too long since you've seen show images lol.

Terrycloth's beast head in the show? Was ugly. Like, seriously.

Nope, only Terrorsaur comes with one. You're safe! Unless you forgot to check for Puffer's guns and Road Ranger's gun and shield

Look out and Shout, OWWWW!

Hey, he actually looks pretty good! And tall for a modern deluxe, at least in comparison to the other Kingdom beasts, which was my biggest gripe with him. Still looks a little short compared to the show, but at least they made an effort. Glad I pre-ordered.

The Kingdom news is non stop today. We had sightings of Pipes and Slammer, a review of Terrorsaur and now a review of Blaster. He was found in the US last week, meaning that the only Kingdom toy left to be found is core class Hot Rod. Fellow Seibertronian O.Supreme gave us wind of this review which you can see below. While you could look for it on shelves, it is much easier to simply pre order him online where he is plenty available. Let us know if you will be getting this.

Thanks. Those I have. Both guns from puffer ands the gun/sider panel and shield for Road Ranger. whew!

For me, it is confirmed-- Blaster is an incredibly good figure.
Even though I couldn't care less about Eject, I can't wait to have Blaster.

And imo, that shows that Soundwave's proportions are off, and he should have longer legs.
Not a new observation. But his torso and shoulders look too wide because of this.

Anyway, both of Blaster's modes look fantastic.

Catching up here.

I got a notice from Pulse that Puffer/Road Ranger are shipping out next week. So that set was moved up and ready.

I hope to see Slammer and Pipes in stores, last 2 deluxes I need.

I actually kinda like Core Hot Rod. I think I will get him and pair him with I-ark-onus for a Cyberverse-ish reference.

Have some pictures of shadow panther

Dang, that Blaster transformation- I mean, conversion looks pretty neato. Does fold up pretty well and hides up the robot bits a lot better than I was expecting. Glad we avoided some unnecessary gaps while still having a very nice boombox mode and robot mode.

Are there any links to more legit YouTubers yet, considering it's already "officially" out?

Also, btw, my Japanese chum just got the two "Huffer/Pipes" redecoes (sic) from Amazon US. Apparently, there's been some (Covid 19- related) Kremzeeks in the supply chain, causing some toys to be released earlier than intended?

primalxconvoy wrote:Are there any links to more legit YouTubers yet, considering it's already "officially" out?

PvP's legitimacy I seem to recall is not a question appropriate for these forums. However...Yes if you go on to Youtube and search "Kingdom Blaster Review" you will find others, let us know which ones you like.

The item has been found in stores, so there is no need for the quotes above. Hasbro has revealed Blaster, its been found and purchased. Not sure where the confusion is.

Some here, i bought Huffer nearly 6 weeks ago when his wave came and he didn't have a disk card. Ironically my Ultra Magnus had a G1 Megatron card inside and the fate inside was showing Megatron fighting inside the pit.

It's ironic since in the 1987 Movie Megatron becomes Galvatron and killed Ultra Magnus (technically UK comics Galvatron defeating him too) but he got better in the film.

In the SIEGE cartoon trilogy Megatron killed Magnus without becoming Galvatron.

Is this the first time since the G1 mold that Blaster and Soundwave weren't just slight remolds/repaints of each other?

Can't wait to get him!

If memory serves, yes. First time Blaster is his own at last.

Nope! Device Label Blaster was a brand new mold separate from that of Music Label Soundwave.

I asked if there were any legitimate YouTubers that had made a review and didn't dwell on the well-known illegitimacy of PVP. You either could have answered it with a link or not bothered.

Thus, I'll ask again, has anyone found a video review by any legitimate YouTubers? I've searched but come up with zilch so far.

Sorry, that just comes from being a father and trying to teach someone to be self sufficient. No offense but you seem like the kind of person that wants everything handed to you with little effort.
How much effort did you really put forth in searching?
Here ya go

Thank you. I'm perfectly self-sufficient. I'm happy help others and also happy to ask for help. YouTube (and other services online) search results can vary, depending upon the app, hardware, geographical region, etc, so what is "easy" for you may not be so for others around the world.

That's true.
I'll add blocked videos, skewed search results (especially for anything political) and so on.

Ah yes, that too. Regardless, I appreciate the review that was linked to. It's nice to see more "raw/home-grown" reviews these days, IMO. Feels like a close connection to the community.

I can't find the proper thread but, I got the Unicron head pillow today and did a thing:

No, but seriously, where did you get that?

SDCC 2021. Unicron head pillow

What are the chances of Legacy Soundwave being a retool of this Blaster?

What Rodimus said, unfortunately it sold out. I thought there was a news article on this site, I could be wrong.

With them having a Soundwave mold already, I would say none.

Thanks, and it actually is still available from the maker. https://www.symbiotestudios.com/online- ... p407832801

I got Jackpot in and the head on mine isn't too bad, much more like the product shots than the early sightings from amazon.ca.

Forgot to mention, I got an email from Pulse saying they will be shipping out Puffer/Road Ranger this coming week, which is pretty annoying that that set is coming out so early

20211212_002734.jpg

I'm gonna be honest, I didn't want jackpot, I just thought that I had lost out on the jazz mold what with never seeing it in stores, so I ordered one when it was announced, only to find jazz a week or so later, and I have to say that I much prefer his head design to jackpots - which just didn't look right to me, which now we know why. I feel genuinely bad for the people who actually wanted this figure, and can't reconcile the qc issues. This goes far beyond a grievous oversight, to the point where I don't think the head should have even been designed the way that it was.


On an unrelated note, I got my pipes and slammer, and they are a disaster. Pipes has a crack/warp across his chest that makes it so his shoulder can't tab into place, so his arm just hangs by his waist, and every single one of slammers 5mm pegs/holes are so loose that shaking the figure slightly causes him to fall to pieces. Will definitely be looking for slammer in stores to replace him. Pipe's just can't be saved it seems, as it carries over huffers flaw of looking like a scrunched up truck in vehicle mode, for the life of me, I can't tell what's causing this problem, but I think it has something to do with where they placed the cut-outs in his arms to connect to his cab.

That's weird. I didn't get an email.Lemme recheck.

EDIT: I'm wrong. I just prioritized the Stormtrooper pack from TVC.

I finally got Kingdom Tigatron off of Amazon. I did my random check during the day and found they had a used very good from Amazon's Warehouse for $20.88 so I jumped on it. Got the only one at that price

Very nice, you will love him, tigatron is a really strong figure

Just got back from Walgreens. My in-store pickup arrived.

So I just realized the back of jackpots head is the back of a car.

Got my amazon warehouse deals very good used tigatron and as soon as I took him out of the package his head fell off it was chipped and doesn't stay on before I took him out of the package

thankfully I can get his head to say on in robot mode so I will keep him until I can get a new one. He can't transform





now to wait another 3+ months for Amazon to actually get this figure in stock. Thanks though amazon for letting me keep the figure for a stand in.

Yeah, that's definitely not "very good" condition. Often parents will buy stuff like this for their kids, the kids can't figure it out so the parent returns it and it ends up in the Warehouse. I've bought stuff from the Warehouse without issue before, but I would definitely take issue with something being outright broken. Did they give you a refund or are you waiting for it to come in stock so they can send you a replacement?

They gave me a refund and said I can keep it. Just waiting for the refund to come back. I am glad I can get the head to stay on in robot mode since that's how I display them.

Good, glad that worked out for you (aside from having to wait longer). Just think, now when the other one arrives you can give him a semi-original toy look with two guns.

You know what, since you have nothing to lose in this case, why not file a request on Hasbro's website. Say you bought this toy and it came to you broken and you can't transform it. They will send you a replacement product. Most probably not Tigatron, but hey, you'll get a brand new product for free.

I was honestly thinking about it since it was still tied to the plastic insert and wasn't a loose figure

Isn't that a little bit..."PvP" though, or am I reading that wrong?

You're reading EVERYTHING wrong.
You're obsession is clouding your judgement. How about moving on before you allucinate PvP everywhere you look? This is getting creepy.

Returning Hasbro's broken crap to Hasbro for something random is pretty standard fare. Regardless if you already have been refunded by the seller or not.
