Siege stock - is it scalpers or just limited supply from Hasbro?

We should all be pleased that for the first time in forever retailers have not overstocked on wave one products and then not bothered with the subsequent waves. It really is such a nice change to see the second wave of a transformers toyline on shelves, far better than having 300 movie Prines and Bumblebees clogging the very small amount of shelving space transformers are allocated because they just don’t sell to the general public as well as other toylines do.

A change is as good as a holiday.

I’d agree.... but it looks like they overstocked wave 2 voyagers, skipped wave 3 and 4, and now wave 5 is still waiting...

Bad news for me as I preordered wave 2 thinking they will never show up here. I no longer want them as I’m not collecting so will have to sell these at a huge loss as they are shelfwarming everywhere.

No, you need 9! 3 for camera, 3 for robot, 3 for MISB.

12

3 for robot
3 for camera
3 for MISB
3 for customising to their G1 toy-accurate colours

+1 or +3 for 'spaceship' mode.
I'm a bit sad they didn't call it a 'submarine'...

Oh definitely plus 3.

Okay, 15 it is... I'm off to update my BBTS cart.

P.S. good job on everyone helping Tilarta with the foot.

I don't remember what the Inferno feet looked like, but I'm fairly sure it was a packaging error that included the Dinobot feet instead of the generic Combiner feet.

Since I spent a fair while tinkering with the foot module to find out how to get it into Pyra's hand, the odds of me not seeing a flip-out post on the underside are unlikely.

In any case, I don't have them anymore to check, as mentioned above, I returned the entire Inferno Combiner toy to the store for a refund when I saw what Hasbro had sent me.



Edit:

The stock issue in Big W just got worse, the space was decreased 50% to allow for a Toy Story 4 display.
Now keep in mind it was already reduced 50% for the Fortnite display and the Transformers section is now at 25% of it's original size.
