I should really set up an online account - just tried to call my local EB & provide that linked SKU, dude said they couldn’t place preorders in their system yet

Usually in-store systems can accept orders the day following the online store. Just try again tomorrow morning and it should be fine.

Not even really an Armada fan, but it looks excellent.

I don't even know what Armada is, but I know what Optimus Prime looks like, and that ain't it.

Regardless, I find the proportions to just be really weird, in both robot modes, and vehicle mode, too. But hey, if other people like it, and apparently they do, since it's selling out, I hope they enjoy it.

I only got back into Transformers because of the G1 figures that came out over the last 5 years, and I'm more than happy to save a few bucks by not buying more.

I'm with you. I know Armada, I had the original Armada Prime, but I am drawing the line at yet another Prime or Megs so these are easy skips. But for those that grew up on or love Armada, I definitely think these are both nice toys that are a lot more poseable than the originals.

Placed my pre-order for in-store pickup online for Armada Prime, first time doing it but I remember how much of a pain it was tryna get Motormaster so I've decided why not.

Hope it goes smoothly and my store of choice gets it on September, or earlier if they push it up.

I used to love Armada when i was younger, and this looks excellent, but it doesn't fit with my current direction in figure collecting so it's an easy $150 saved for me. Still waiting for that beachcomber preorder to go on gamestop though

[Oliwood]

Im glad GameStop has Armada Prime but that eye-watering price...yikes. Hopefully the more retailers get him the better chance there's leftover stock for sales.

It's not happening. Check the toy snowman video linked earlier and some other notes. That wave seems confirmed to not be released to Canada. Retailers like a3u and tsm have us distributors to get it in. If you want beachcomber preorder him from one of them or other site sponsors.
