Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

[Dkaris]

Can anyone advise when we may start to see tigatron on shelves? Just wondering when I should start looking.

KD Tigatron was just released onto Amazon Australia as Australian stock (sold out in a few days), so it was in the country as of last week... it just depends on if any of the stock went to other retailers, or if it all went to Amazon.

Also, it depends on if retailers need a restock of Kingdom or not. If there are enough WFC K Voyagers in inventory to keep shelves full till Legacy hits we might never see Tigertron on a shelf in Australia. (unless they reissue him in a later line like is happening with WFC K Blaster).

That said, remember when Reject Shop got late DOTM figures a couple of years after the line ended? Plus there was that bargain-priced Leader Jetfire.

I'm probably not thinking hard enough, but have any Transformers ever been released that have glow in the dark as a gimmick?

Define "Transformer"... Natron and Freezon count for you?

I think glow-in-the-dark was a missed opportunity with the Rescue Bots (for the kiddies), and I'd love to see some GITD details on some TFs toys.

I think... we've only had two Transformers (actual) toys with GITD applications, and they were two of the Marvel Transformers from 2011. Wave 8 had two redeco toys (Ironman/jet, WarMachine/car) which both had a bit of GITD on the chest and eyes. Maybe somewhere else as well, but it wasn't a lot.

I think I would count these Paulbot, licenced merch and the right level of obscurity too!

These are also pretty obscure! I would love to see GITD utilised, but it would have a real G2 kind of feel to it and I'm not really sure they'd fit my collection. It might work well for a G1 ratchet or Wheeljack though
