Re: Transformers Generations Retro Headmasters Wave 2 released in Canada
 

Wasn’t Hardhead part of the first wave?

Re: Transformers Generations Retro Headmasters Wave 2 released in Canada
 

Yeah, probably repacked him in to make a set of 4.

Re: Transformers Generations Retro Headmasters Wave 2 released in Canada

Great, more figures that will never be seen in my area

Re: Transformers Generations Retro Headmasters Wave 2 released in Canada
 

Not a hope in hell but anyone able to confirm the Weirdwolf back/neck canopy hinge breakage thing hasn't been fixed in the slightest?

Re: Transformers Generations Retro Headmasters Wave 2 released in Canada
 

From what I hear online is that nothing is fixed

Re: Transformers Generations Retro Headmasters Wave 2 released in Canada
 

I thought they fixed the canopy hinge when they re-released Weirdwolf in Titans Return (there was a second run during TR).

Re: Transformers Generations Retro Headmasters Wave 2 released in Canada
 

I'm in Vaughan and never saw wave one in-store. Had to Grab em online when they where fleetingly in stock. Only got hardhead and brainstorm because I didn't have them from the titans release. If you have the titans these are no big loss.

Re: Transformers Generations Retro Headmasters Wave 2 released in Canada
 

But, but, but, the retro boxes!!!!

Oh and the different paint decos and Japanese Headmasters.

However you are right. If you already have these then you aren't missing anything. I only bought them for the retro packaging, but the other changes were a bit helpful in trying to justify the purchase to myself.

Re: Transformers Generations Retro Headmasters Wave 2 released in Canada
 

What? Wave 2? Did wave 1 ever release lol?

Re: Transformers Generations Retro Headmasters Wave 2 released in Canada
 

Yes. I never saw Wave 1 in stores myself but they were for sure on the website. (got a Brainstorm online)

Re: Transformers Generations Retro Headmasters Wave 2 released in Canada
 

Yeah. They were hardly ever in stores in most places (my local Walmart had them once that I know about, but another local boardie got the only set that was put out before I made it to the store.) Most peoples' best bets were to wait for the random online restocks and hope they could get in on one of those windows before they sold out again in like 20 minutes. I snagged a Chromedome online in the very last restock like a month ago and got the other 3 from that same boardie who picked up the set from the Walmart because he had already ordered Brainstorm, Hardhead, and Mindwipe online and needed to offload those after picking up the boxed set.


Basically it's just more trash 2020/21 distribution issues, pandemic or not.

Re: Transformers Generations Retro Headmasters Wave 2 released in Canada
 

Axis of Action Toys (a 3P seller on Walmart) seems to have the only stock for wave 2. These are Walmart exclusives, which means these guys are buying out the stock from online just to flip them at 3x the price ($71.94). Scalping at it's finest. Walmart is actually stupid for promoting this on their site.

Re: Transformers Generations Retro Headmasters Wave 2 released in Canada
 

they were on hasbro pulse on weekend. Looks to be sold out now but keep an eye out there too.

Re: Transformers Generations Retro Headmasters Wave 2 released in Canada
 

lucked out and got all 4 of wave 1 when I saw them one day, never saw any restocks since. ended up getting wave 2 off ebay (ugh) cause i don't trust lightning to strike twice. modern distribution is incredibly sad.

Re: Transformers Generations Retro Headmasters Wave 2 released in Canada
 

I did not hear that it was ever fixed.

Re: Transformers Generations Retro Headmasters Wave 2 released in Canada
 

I can't remember exaxtly where I heard it from, but I think it was a review from YouTube. I guess we'll have to check the new version when we get it.

Re: Transformers Generations Retro Headmasters Wave 2 released in Canada
 

From what I read it's not fixed. It's a combination of the joint having pressure on it and a chemical in the softer red plastic bleeding into the yellow plastic weakening it.

Re: Transformers Generations Retro Headmasters Wave 2 released in Canada
 

Yeah, you guys are right. Just read the post on TFW about the issue. Doesn't look fixed.

Re: Transformers Generations Retro Headmasters Wave 2 released in Canada
 

Same here, it might have been that british bloke.

Re: Transformers Generations Retro Headmasters Wave 2 released in Canada
 

Doesn't matter, the only way to get them is from scalpers at inflated prices anyways, walmart is completely useless for exclusives and they need to stop.

Re: Transformers Generations Retro Headmasters Wave 2 released in Canada
 

Saw them yesterday and they look tiny compared to the originals. I have the original G1’s and I just think they look small in comparison?

Re: Transformers Generations Retro Headmasters Wave 2 released in Canada
 

I have G1 Brainstorm and the new retro is slimmer, but has way better articulation


The G1 transformation was so stiff in comparison
