The All Encompassing TRANSFORMERS Thread

TheRaizin · 07-31-2021, 03:21 AM

I guess it also doesn't help that the shelves I look to are stocked in characters I've no idea on. And when it comes to known characters my thoughts fall back on "There's always a better version coming out/It's not the design you want."

Like: "Oh, this is Impactor from.... Uh..."

or

"Ooh, it's Warpath! But it don't look like the Warpath I know from that one video game."

I got weird irrational thoughts like those.

Not really! Just wanting figures of characters you actually know is about the most normal thing I can think of in this hobby — it’s part of why I keep my collections relatively small

The R.E.D. Coronation Starscream and Bumblebee have been released. That photo was taken at the Walmart in Pineville, Louisiana.

Origins Bumblebee, Worlds' Collide, and T-Wrecks have also been released. That photo was taken at the Target in Alexandria, Louisiana. There were five Bumblebees, five T-Wrecks, and one Worlds' Collide at the time.

Meanwhile, my Targets were stripped dry of basically everything

The ones I took the photos at aren't much better! I consider the area sparse when compared to larger locales 90 minutes south of where I saw that bunch. In many ways, I'm marginally surprised that it's actually going this far this fast!

Honestly, if you're at Target and you see an Origin Bumblebee, snag it for me, because, no exaggeration, my local Target was 1 Kingdom Arcee, and 2 Cyberverse one step changer Megatrons

My other Target only had 2 Cyberverse Ultimate Shockwaves. Finding Transformers in person for me is impossible because apparently where I live is where every TF scalper lives

Now when you say "snag it for me"...

I really want this Bee, so if you find one in the wild, buy it, give me your Paypal, I'll pay you back, and then mail it my way
