Also apparently someone found details of reissue Beast Wars besides those. Namely, the old pre-TM Cybershark. They also report finding reissue numbers for Wolfang as well. If Hasbro was planning on getting me into the BW reissues even more, then they picked the right two Maximals to do it. I had both Pre-TM Cybershark and Wolfang back in the day and they were two of my favorites but later on ended up getting stolen. I might go ahead and get these at full price just to have a chance to get some minty reissue fresh copies to replace their stolen vintage counterparts. I never had Scorponok either and was interested until the MSRP at Walmart.com showed $42. I know Mega and Primal were $50 so $42 is not surprising but if he is slow to move like those two over the holidays, Im hoping he might go on sale. I'm hoping the same thing. $40 I can't push the button on, but even if he was $30? Then I could. I was hoping more like $25 but I would bite at $30. Tigatron though, I actually might get him at full retail price if I see him in store but I would prefer $15-20.

Who didn't see this coming with the new open-air packaging. Wonder how long it will be before Wal-Mart is placing these in those clear plastic security boxes and/or locking them in an electronics cabinet. Attachments:

I like how they left the package on the peg. Power move.

I like how they left the package on the peg. Power move. I'd like to see if Wal-Mart puts a clearance sticker on it and try to sell it without the toy.

Overall, my main concern is that Optimus Primal looks so goddamn....grey. The movies were getting away from everyone being colored gunmetal, so this seems like a step back. Otherwise, decent articulation and stuff, but I'm waiting to see the overall size points for it.

Yeah, boss-monkey needs some color.

First looks at SS AoE Galvatron and BB Thundercracker: www.reddit.com/gallery/uhbe0zI liked the Galvatron design visually, so I'm glad we're getting a version that isn't a giant backpack of truck parts. And while I liked one of the BB Seeker mold, I don't need to complete the trio for this one.

Apparently Arcee is NOT the ER Arcee, but a new tooling that combines the good Thrilling 30 Arcee and the good parts of ER Arcee. Yeah, she's got a giant backpack, but let's be honest... As along as they're obsessed with making it look like 1986, that's the best it's going to be able to get at a $22 price point.
