Both will be sclapers fodder.
Sad.

Exactly my thoughts too. Even the pose is MLP.
Could've at least change to a front-facing, charging pose... It's what we've seen in every trailers so far!

I bought it. Instant regret. He was so loose, he couldn't stand up with his legs bending at the knee, falling tonthe side and hips so loose. Pieces about fell off. Looked good in box. Super glue couldn't help.

That's just the hosted reseller syndrome.
Walmart and Amazon does the same.
But I wonder...
WHO BUY FROM THESE OVERPRICED LISTINGS?

True. After seeing they made the stranger things Eddie funky, target exclusive that went for over $100, I was tempted just in case. I know better but still... lol

Grandparents, people that can't be bothered to shop around, and people with more money than sense. What really kills me is when I see something listed by TFSource and I know it's cheaper on their site.

I see people brag about it on Facebook, that they make enough that they don't have to worry about paying extra. They don't realize that paying those prices just encourages more scalping.

Sorry to hear that. My copy was perfect though, the plastic felt more solid than the OG. The legs are actually tight and pegs into the tabs, unlike the original version. The only loose part was the gun really didn't peg into the trailer hitch hole, the hole was bigger than the OG's.

Thanks. I'm glad his weapon was at least right so I could reuse it. But he looks good when I get him standing upright lol

Funko Pops are far from dead. Most geek stores have at least 1/4 of their store space dedicated to those damn things.

Back when we had a local ThinkGeek store, half the store was dedicated to the damn things. I never actually saw anyone buy one whenever I was there.
Again, I have never understood the appeal.

I found Rhinox in Walmart this week. I gotta say, I think he is the best bang for the buck of the voyagers, followed by Prime and then Primal. He is fun.
I also got the Arcee beast combiner. I plan to get one of each gimmick. She is pretty fun. bike mode kinda sucks, but I like the combined mode, especially the helmet sculpt.

Those were found in the US already and not at Walmart so I guess they aren't Walmart exclusives after all.

Very cool group shots; I'm kinda impressed how the factions share their respective aesthetic quite well. Kinda used to seeing factions look quite jumbled (even guys like the SS Constructicons).

Of course, not all collectors, and that's where the heat is coming from. Unlike the Rise of the Beasts figures released in the Studio Series line, the mainline toys are not widely available in online collector shops across the world, and not all are on various national Amazon sites either. So, believe it or not, that voyager Optimus and Optimus Primal you may see in your local Walmart are highly coveted, since there is no way but through brick and mortar retail to get them. And we all know how that type of distribution can turn out.
Due to this, both are selling for over MSRP online right now, with Optimus Primal selling for double his price due to being shortpacked. These were both toys which fans laughed out of the room due to lackluster paint jobs and poor sizes. As valid as those points may be, this comes to show that you never know how lucky you may be to have a toy available and you never know what can become a hot commodity in this hobby.
I actually found 3 Voyager Primals and an Optimus at my walmart an hour ago. Grabbed Optimus. They are in retail now. WA state.

They're more akin to the Deluxes of Cyberverse and the current Earthspark lines, really. "Generations" would be Studio Series

I would disagree as the quality and complexity is beyond Cyberverse and Earthspark deluxes.

I was referring more to their placement in the overall scheme of things, but eh... Anyway, anyone think we can expect redecos of the Beasties?

Yes, they've been in stores for a few weeks now, Rhinox is in stores now too. That's his point, you can buy them in brick and mortar stores, but you can't buy them online so they're getting scalped and sold on eBay for twice the price.

And the robot mode just kicks all kinds of ass, the plastic feels great, all the joints are super tight, the little handsaw machine guns actually SPIN and smoothly too! He also looks BA holding the Optimus Primal gorilla hand cannon BattleMaster

Which Rhinox?
Mainline or Studio Series?
I think SS could look really nice better paint.
Mainline
SS

Regardless, I still want both.

*snip*
Mainline! To my knowledge I don't think the SS one is going to come with the hand saw guns? So far the only other mainline rotb I want to pick up over the Studio Series is Airrazor but haven't spotted her in the wild yet and Targèt around here still only has the first three pack with Cheetor and etc

You can see all the images below, which come from Amazon UK, where it is priced at 128 pounds sterling.

Another Primal to add to my shelf.
Let's hope there will be plenty of him and he'll be on sale sooner or later.
