I dunno, lemme ask Bossbot first.

I found two reflectors in a Walmart in Richmond CA. Along with two grunts and two red alerts. Unfortunately there were only 2 reflectors so I'm still on the hunt for one more.

^Question though, do you find this particular Walmart to be an outlier that typically gets things early, or more to the normal end of the spectrum? Having these sighted in CA gives me some hope, but there are so many stores in my area, and they all seemingly get toys at different times.

Richmond isn't too far, so hopefully soon, even though a single Brunt is all Im looking for.....

Then if I were you, I would go to the Walmart connected to the hilltop mall, because the box was out on a pallet and I left the two grunts. I just wanted the reflectors. And that was an hour ago. They get the toys randomly though.

Yeah, my Walmart had the same thing too, so I believe they are being shipped as cases of two each, which means it won't be too hard to find a third Refraktor or Brunt for your collection.

About what I found:

1) All the complaints I had about Red Alert disappeared as soon as I saw him. His colors are perfect, and he looks great. The missing text don't bother me anymore, and the light bar looks great as translucent red.

2) Brunt is every bit I expected except he's shorter than I though he would be. But overall, probably my favorite Weaponizer.

3) Refraktor is just great. He's taller than I imagined, and I guess that's a good thing, and he has a really cool looking space cruiser mode. Camera is where it takes the cake though, but I only have 2 right now so I can't fully make it. I really feel this is a superior product to all the 3P versions out there, in terms of look, posabilty, and value.

Overall, this wave has some really great figures going for it, and I'm excited about the Voyager waves coming soon!

I just checked my NorCal WalMarts last night one right along the main 5 freeway where shipping seems better - nada. Totally dyin’ for these guys too.

So it begins

I have a mix of online retailer pre-orders, Hasbro Pulse pre-orders, and planned brick-and-mortar purchases. Hopefully that will help me be patient, as my local stores historically shelve after the early retailers.

That sounds super complex and efficient. My plan ends up feeling like a live action round of Chutes and Ladders with too many chutes, and so many ladders...so many.

And the other guy's plan sounds like a live action Monopoly movie with Dwayne Johnson as the Monopoly Man!

Either way, I hope the best of luck to all of you, may you find the figures you so must have in your collection soon

back on 2/20/19, news broke about listings for a Voyager Apeface & Leader Astrotrain for the Siege Line:

https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... ore/42973/

However...since this news broke, we've gotten a few nice reveals of other figures presumably being released before these. I just wonder though... are the lines fluid enough that they could be pushed back as early releases for the 2020 line? It's just the lack of news thus far (which could change with SDCC)...and the fact that these are only 12 months lines now has me a bit skeptical. By this time last year, everything about PotP had been revealed, aside from any Selects or exclusives.

It is nice that Siege seems to have a more robust 4th wave, of which these 2 could certainly be a part of, but one would think their target date would be closer to October rather than December...

Found all three "Reflectors" (keeping it G1 at all times).
Just had to drive to a couple of Walmarts, but no springer

Just found Siege Refraktor, 2 Red Alerts, and a Brunt at a Walmart here in Las Vegas, NV

SWEET, I use to live in Vegas. Good toy selections out there.
Even at the fleemarket on Decatur.

Went looking for Springer at my local Walmart, sadly they didn't have him yet, but I did get Shockwave and Ultra Magnus

Found the Wave 3 deluxes last night myself, but unfortunately, it looks as though Red Alert, Brunt, Reflector, and frikkin' Hound are packed equally. No Camera mode yet! Booooooooooooooooo

Also, does anyone have the codes for the WFC wave 3 deluxes? I'd like to take a peek at my other walmarts nearby to see if they stocked

D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Also, does anyone have the codes for the WFC wave 3 deluxes? I'd like to take a peek at my other walmarts nearby to see if they stocked

Hey DMax do you mean UPC codes? When I look up on WalMart.com or Target I think there’s a default of Skytread for deluxes and Screamer for Voyagers.

Is there any way from home to check to see if my nearby stores have logged in the new guys but maybe don’t have a more formal listing yet? Am I making sense I feel like I’m not making sense...

Are you able to show me how or do you have to work there? No clue how that works but have always been curious.

I am really looking forward to the Siege Omega Supreme. I love that he is as big as Metroplex of Fort Max. I hope they use this toy to retcon him to be as large as a city bot. I always thought the Guardian robots should be legendary and nigh indestructible enforcers of a much more ancient time. There should be a sense of "awe" about them as much as the Titans.

BAM!! Looks like we're getting these 2 fellas at some point... I have no idea if this has been mentioned here before. Look at Bluestreak's shoulders. I didn't realize they could move like that on Prowl as well. Ratchet looks pretty cool too, mang.

I don't know if this helps, but apparently every Target and Walmart in my area identifies UPC codes as a "one code applies to everything else" situation. As in, if I look up SS38, the store will lead me to that lone SS05 for some bizarre reason. I haven't found them reliable in my case, since apparently "in stock" doesn't have to refer to that specific item.

Anyone tried this alt transformation yet? Best I could do for a boombox type. Without an add-on or taking his arms off.

That's cool, I like it.. but I'll do you one better

He's actually just a bit bigger than Titan class Devastator, who is much shorter than Metroplex and Fort Max.

They scaled Omega to size up to Devastator because of their little rivalry in a couple episodes of the cartoon.

Dude! Loving that! This is the mode I’ve been going with so far it’s simple but eh it works.

Using those back pieces was a good idea for showcasing them as speakers. I actually pulled them completely off for both modes and threw them away. I have never put him in the mode that shows on the instructions. Also, use his foldable gun for megatons back. Does a WORLD of good for him

Dude that’s brilliant!!

Thanks my man... I'm touched

Did the same thing with Soundwave's pistol. Originally I pulled the blades off Megatron's sword, but that weapon was far too tall on his back. I wish Soundwave's pistol was wider, but the height is so perfect that I suspect it was made for this purpose.

I was just thinking the same thing wow. Synergy. But the plastic if not a perfect match is super close the height the orientation of the sighting on the tip I mean, dang.

And it doesn't stop there. His tank mode is useful aswell with that pistol. I stopped using his blade eons ago

No luck hunting a 3rd Reflector tonight, but boy did i time the one walmart just right. It stocked leaders for the first time in a long time



I never got Magnus, so this is the first shot with this mold, so far so good!

SWEET! I passed on him because I have way too many primes.but that feeling when you see one you want... gratifying

Yesss way to go dude! I love the thing I’m very pleased with it.

G1OPT1MU5PR1M3 wrote:SWEET! I passed on him because I have way too many primes.but that feeling when you see one you want... gratifying

He is really gratifying, and his head sculpt is fantastic! I think his eventual home is with my other Unicron Trilogy guys, and he is so cool. I love him!

I love the classic but this just has the articulation great proportions a great inner robot mode - with all that I can over look the wheels which are not wheels...because they’re galvaconductors.

I love hearing when a purchase of that amount is truly satisfying.

I'm quite torn: I like the Siege UM mold and this seems like a kickass retool. At the same time, however, I've already got more than one Optimus Prime and I try (often failing!) to stay at one version of each character, maybe two for the big guys like Optimus and Megatron, as I got their Siege and TR selves. So while I absolutely love the look on Galaxy Convoy I'm not sure if I should break my own rule.

Man I’d go with your gut they’re both great but if you’re leaning one way I think the great thing is you kinda can’t lose. It’s a great mold get your A choice and who knows maybe it’ll win you over you know?

Should I get him, he'll have a reserved spot on the "smaller non-Legion Leader toy" shelf. It's mostly Deluxe-sized versions of larger characters (like "Bendy" Armada Prime or Deluxe DotM Optimus Prime) but they've become dying breed at this point.

Yes but shelf space and budget has limits.

Hey DMax I’m stealing your awesome idea nugget:
Who here would ever think a build a figure piece in every Siege box would be uh, amazing?
Weaponizers are practically that already.
I think that would be so cool.

I made that rule for myself once too right after TR Powermaster Prime, and already having the older deluxe Linebacker Prime and the CW red and white versions (4 by then). But Hasbro keep making interesting new primes, those crafty bastards. I did manage to skip the TR regular voyager, but got the Laser Prime version (5). Then Magnus Prime (6). And SDCC Primitive Skate Prime (7). Then those evil geniuses came up with a Pax Prime combo in the PotP leader (8). So by the time Siege came around, I was like "That's it, NO MORE PRIMES!!!!". And immediately bought the Siege Voyager (9). Sigh.

I will be skipping Cybertron prime however, just no connection or interest actually, not will power, I clearly have none of that.

See, now that i have a large portion of the more "regular" cast members in toy form, I try to buy only 1 version of a mold, unless it makes complete sense and I am lacking both, like how I have Sideswipe and Red Alert as I did not have a generations version of either.

Now when it comes to Prime, I end up getting what i think is cool and what is unique. I bought the Battlecore Prime form CW for his head and unique colors, and he makes a kickass super combiner. I did not get powermaster Prime or the retail Prime in TR, but i got the black and red G2 Prime from the boxset and i got super Ginrai/Magnus Prime to combine with Godbomber. I got PotP Prime cause he has Orion and he is essentially a MP in robot mode. I got the retail Siege Prime for an in-scale good Prime, and then this Galaxy Prime is a whole other concept, a power up armor based from the UT, so he is justified by being a totally unique design. It's also why i am getting Star Convoy, because it is in a way a different take and he's one of the Legendary Japanese G1 Leaders, so he will go with my near complete Supreme Commanders lineup.

All that to say: I think you should go for it. The alt mode and the super robot mode are unique from your regular Primes, and represent a different universe Prime, or even a totally different G1 take on him. He is far unique enough from Siege voyager Prime to be worth having both.

And his head sculpt kills. Prime needs more head sculpts with yellow/gold and/or silver.

Personally, I've never liked the BAF concept... That's why I don't buy any of the Marvel Legends figures. There are some figures that look nice, but others I don't have a connection too. And because of the BAF parts being otherwise useless without the other figures, I end up not buying the figures I like just due to the fact that knowing myself I'd end up buying figures of characters I have no connection to just to complete a figure. But if they did it correctly with the parts having functions outside of forming the character like turning into weapons, I'd be all for it! C'mon Overload!

Oh yeah, that reminds me, I took a few days to formulate my thoughts on Optimus and then we got a puppy and I forgot to post them. Whoops. Anyway, I'm inclined to agree that he's great, Leader Optimus is currently my favorite Siege figure so far. I know that's partially due to the Unicron Trilogy being my source of nostalgia, and he's also my only non-Deluxe so far, but I really like him. I feel like the non-Super Mode Prime is just as playable as the Super Mode, the poseability's great, and while I will not try to defend the trailer-less alt mode being rubbish, and I love the combined alt mode, it feels like a combination Cybertronian firetruck and armored troop transport.
He's technically my second OP, as I still have my Bendy Prime since he was one of my first figures, but I needed an upgrade for scale purposes at least and I couldn't resist the design, so I think Bendy Prime is now going to serve as his pre-Matrix form.

Sorry, God bomber with the 3rd party add on is the ultimate

Just got Galaxy Upgrade Optimus a couple days ago, and I'm kinda loving it. Even comparing him to the original I have (red and black redeco), I almost kinda prefer this new one because it's more... wieldy, I guess?



I do wish there was some way to detach the wing backpack from the chest window piece so I could have him with all these pieces remaining and with just the chest windows without the wings to replicate his armored-down look from Cybertron. Guess I'll just have to get my hands on another of the torso armor piece, unpin the backpack from the chest window/head bit, and find a third-party faceplateless head to put on it. And paint the forearms blue.

Oooh, I am jealous of that Perfect Effect PC-16 Jinrai! I wasn't able to try to get it until very recently, but now it's sold out everywhere, and I can't even find it on eBay.

Magnus’ blue forearms complete the look for me personally. The bulk stays proportional it’s really cool looking. I’ve thought about knocking out that pin too I wish it had that same functionality. He’s totally my Red Nemesis Prime when he’s next to Voyager Optimus.
