Brainstorm - is this a sign he's finally coming?

I posted my initial observation on the Ontario Sightings board, but thought this was most interesting as I hadn't seen this listing/page prior... not in stock at this moment, but let the speculations begin.

Could be. I think ironically the respective Arcee and Brainstorm cases were produced but never shipped or shelved, so we might see them show up as BF specials.

I doubt, because Arcee also showed up 1 year ago on walmart.ca, but never actually have any stock.

Re: Brainstorm - is this a sign he's finally coming?

That'd be great if so, but don't be surprised if it's just a glitch with their website. I'm convinced they use the same product database for both the .ca and .com sites, only they have to flag items as being available or not.

FWIW I tried a dozen times to add Viper to the cart last night and got an error message each time, so I don't know what's going on.

Even if it hits retail, I don't see myself buying it. The design is just too lazy, both for the core figure (zero attempt at integrating the arms and legs in alt mode) and the Headmaster partner (gigantic panel arms). Maketoys will likely produce the ultimate Brainstorm.

I don't agree this time.
Brainstorm is a nice figure, simple but fun, and looks great. Compare to FPJ smartrobin, it's a different style, more smooth feeling and way bigger, it actually fits really well with TW Hardbone.

Re: Brainstorm - is this a sign he's finally coming?

C'mon, the alt mode looks like ass, the rear section is terrible. I still can't believe Hasbro had the balls to give us a Voyager like that when we got marvels of engineering like HFTD Optimus or Prime Optimus Prime or Prime Bulkhead not that long ago, just to name a few. Robot mode is all it has.
