I got mine today, too. I’m not bothered by the turret change as it makes the elevation feature a bit more sturdy. I’d like to see the digital design/3d print crowd get after it with some upgrade parts.
Hasbro, how about a Masterpiece level rebuild/retool of the Rattler? Last edited by txbart; 10-02-2020 at 01:34 PM.. |

My two HISS Tanks are out for delivery. Just need one to not have box damage.
This is the potential trajectory for the line as budgets hopefully increase due to strong sales. At least it SHOULD be. It's now time for definitive versions of this stuff, like TVC is getting for Star Wars. Last edited by Bac; 10-02-2020 at 01:48 PM.. |

I got my Hisstank today. I thought something might be up with my order because every time I put in the order number I got a message saying that it couldn't be found. I received an email last night that it was shipped and got it almost an hour ago. I still haven't received anything about the Awe striker though.

Just managed to get a second Baroness pre-ordered. She's still popping in and out of stock. Whether she ever ships or not is another matter.

I received my HISS tank today, also. It looks great in the box. I'll be opening it tonight. I received the delay email for all the figures, pushing them back to 10/6. Hopefully, I'll avoid the push back to December. No status on the AWE Striker I ordered.
Related question for any Transformers fans out there--I preordered a vintage reissue Blaster from Walmart months ago, but it has been perpetually delayed. I have seen that they're starting to pop up in stores, but have any of you ordered one also and received it? My son has been super excited about it all summer and i keep having to disappoint him. (I have close family with health problems and i'm not shopping in stores during the pandemic, so that's not an option.) |

Got my Destro and Scarlett figures today. Here's a comparison of the (left) new Destro with the (right) 50th version (Note: I swapped the stands):
And here's the new Scarlett. In-hand, it's a very nice (and sorely-needed) update given the fact that there's zero new tooling (except the head, I think?). Scarlett's one of the few remaining v1 ARAH figures that I really, REALLY needed an update for. Oh, and the head sculpt and digital printing on the face look absolutely great. Oh, and she also comes with a harness, but it's completely worthless. It doesn't fit correctly at all (the shoulder straps ride way too high).

Wow, so they basically just re-painted Destro's boots, belt & gloves and called it a day for the new figure! Ugh...

Hasbro wants us to earn new tooling by buying up the repacks first. I can only imagine how piddly this line's initial budget was compared to Classified. At least someone behind-closed-doors lobbied for it and got it made. |

Well, my SE and Baroness are "delayed" until 12/1. Just a few minutes ago I got another email telling me that the HISS is backordered, with no estimated delivery date. Still no word on my AWE Striker.
I preordered the whole wave on July 17, so I don't know how much better I could have done. Come to think of it, I don't think I've EVER preordered something from Walmart and actually received it, lol. |

Straight up. Would I have like all-new sculpts? Sure. But this is leagues better than the no sculpts we've had for the past 4ish years.
