They need to rename this whole schmozzle from 'Fans First' to 'Scalpers First'; it's bad enough that they can't get their global distribution right, but partnering with Walmart all the time is not in any way in the interests of fans...WTH...

No need to worry, theyre all up for order at Robotkingdom currently. If you really, really want them, go and get them.
Or you could play the waiting game & see who else may be offering them amongst the plethora of online retailers. You may miss out, but such is life.

While it kills me that they're re-releasing a bunch of these figures, the new ones (Bee, Elita-1, Seekers) are super nice.

Nah, there were some real gems in there. The line was worth it for Spinister and Flywheels alone IMO.

Oh yes, totally agree on those two. It's the double/tripling dipping of already over-represented 84ers that's annoying. It's been apparent since the Netflix toys started to appear that the toyline and the cartoon were too far apart. Then giving us the earth modes of all the Siege characters a year later to top it all off. I don't need my Siege Megatron, Starscream, Thundercracker, Soundwave, Laserbeak, Ravage, Prowl or Ironhide anymore.

I was very happy with all the announcements. I’m ecstatic that my expectations for Bumblebee were correct, I couldn’t ask for better and hopefully Goldbug is in the pipeline too as a simple headswap and shield/back rotation. It is somewhat disappointing that Elita 1 has no alt mode changes from Arcee, but I do think the big backpack suits her a little more too. The robot mode outside of the kibble looks great.
It is not unexpected but still disappointing to see Ironhide and Prowl. They are nice, but with the stellar Siege versions already, I think everyone including me is just so tired at this point. It’s been virtually no time at all since those versions, so these tantalisingly better (but only marginally so) options are a bit scummy, and it screams a lot of calculated deceit. Had we known Earth modes were coming, nowhere anywhere near as many people would have jumped on Siege and they know it. It cost me around $70 AUD to get a hold of Siege Ratchet, so I’ll likely just hold onto my Siege vans.
Soundwave is really great but I feel for those who bought the now completely useless Siege voyager. He really should have had a red visor this time around (or just an optional metallic sticker), clearly someone at Hasbro is gunning for the yellow every single time. A minor complaint for Optimus as well is that they could have at least gone for white thighs/cod, instead of the almost straight repack of the Earthrise version (he has small battle damage and red biceps instead of grey/brown now).
Since these are mostly from the Netflix line, I’m hoping they are still at Kmart here by the time these release. I really hope the unknown leader is a brighter purple Shockwave too, since I unfortunately broke my Siege one.
Seeking the Following:
- CW Brawl
- Earthrise Runabout

This special edition DECEPTICON EXHAUST figure portrays the DECEPTICON-turned-bounty-hunting mercenary from the War for Cybertron series.

This special edition WFC-GS13 HUBCAP figure is the first modern era update inspired by the 1986 Mini-Vehicle mail-away and even features the classic orange face unique to the original toy release!
HUBCAP is a character with some serious identity issues. Not only is he often confused with BUMBLEBEE for being of similar size and color, but the original 1986 mail-away mislabeled him as CLIFFJUMPER. Not that anyone knew who Hubcap was at the time anyway. Though he appeared in the 1986 Mini-Vehicle assortment, he was only introduced into TRANSFOMERS entertainment in 2007 with the release of IDW’s MEGATRON Origin Issue #3. Generations Selects is a fan-dedicated line of figures featuring special edition characters that can’t be found in the main line.
