After 0.2 seconds of consideration, I'm keeping my Gen deluxe warpath.

Yes it is, it currently says sold out. It sold out fast and as far as I know was never restocked (I managed to get 2). But that also makes it a bad case to measure whether weapons only packs would sell as many wanted to troop build the Centurion drones, while others didn't want them at all and only wanted the weapons (I wanted multiples of both).

Go to the page for each item on Amazon, and report a lower price and give them the link to Gamestop's page for each item. In enough of us do it, it might make Amazon lower their price to match Gamestop and give us all the better pricing that have pre-ordered on Amazon. You can find the link to report a lower price in the Product Information area, under the feedback heading (scroll down a bit).

I'll be curious to see if this will work before scalpers see the price and wipe Gamestop out of stock.

Here are the links to Gamestop for anyone who wants to try this out. I've already submitted them myself.

edited a few times the bee with charlie will def be an oddity if it doesnt iclude the upgrade parts, not sure how they will pack cases of them or what they will use for voyagers and leaders. Indemand put some photos up on farcebook today for them.

Indeed, well the Studio Series releases should...the Bee and Spike set on the other hand, that muddies the waters a bit since it looks like Buzzworthy Bumblebee doesn't care where the source molds come from

Just checked, and at least so far I do not have any pending payments

Yeah this is super weird. I was charged yesterday for Paleotrex, and there is even a tracking #, (looks I could have it as soon as tomorrow!) but it actually doesn't show "shipped" yet on Amazon's site.... I'd be super thrilled if this were the case, I haven't obtained a new line item this early since PotP.

They did that with my Rattrap but then they actually shipped him early.

I bought my first 1989 Snake-Eyes off the rack at Toys R Us in 1988.

Well, mine broke right after I opened it, oddly enough, it broke when I tried to peg it back into her chest, not when I tried to remove it for the transformation

I'm hoping Iceland will get Rattrap and Optimus Primal. I don't know how well Kids CoolShop operates in Europe. It replaced Toys'R'Us in my country and so far i've had great figures from there.

No Battle Masters for Kingdom I'm afraid, outside of potential exclusive redecos.

They were already on their way out during Earthrise, really. Siege Wave 1 had 3 new molds, with each subsequent wave introducing a new one for a total of 6 molds. Earthrise Wave 1 had 1 new mold plus a Siege re-release per wave, for a total of 3 molds. The Micromasters were similarly downsized.

I think it's as simple as Walmart wont sell them in the US so Hasbro has no reason to expand on them. It'll be interesting to see if Walmart sells Core class in stores since they didn't seem to have any issues with Legends class.

Decision to switch from Pulse to Amazon continues to be wise. That's $8 saved for the wave, and if Ractonite will drop, it'll be $11 for the 3 figures I got

The only wave 1 Kingdom figures I want but haven't pre-ordered are Optimus Primal and Blackarachnia, because I want to see if I can get them at brick-and-mortar rather than online. But it's basically an open secret at this point that my country is going back into lockdown immediately after Christmas, so I may have to get Primal and Blackarachnia online after all.
