No sign of Topspin, it seems, but Twin Twist is right here:

https://hasbropulse.com/collections/transformers/products/transformers-legacy-wreck-n-rule-collection-diaclone-universe-twin-twist

He's red and blue, which is the Diaclone color scheme from back when this toy was known as Drill Tank Robo. $24.99, ships November 2022.

Still no Fractyl, either, as originally reported. This suggests to me that he'll be available through some other channel, even if he's not part of the Wreckers collection proper.

Zob (never thought I'd see the day that I started collecting Diaclone toys)

We finally get to see the cardboard hammer

https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=569649038063472&set=pcb.569649561396753

At least the Throne of the Primes was semi functional, and pre-built, and only required one purchase.

I'm very disappointed it's cardboard. I was hoping it was something I could actually put into the hands of one of my toys. Well, guess I'm cancelling my Bulkhead pre-order, then...

I see now that you mentioned that, but I must have not seen it, or chose to ignore it. For some reason I really had it firmly entrenched in my head that it would be plastic parts that you assembled together. Hasbro Pulse is vague about it, and just says "build the Wreckers hammer," which is arguably open to interpretation.

Maybe a third party will create the almighty plastic hammer you wanted.

I also think the cardboard hammer is lame. I've just been tossing all
the cardboard stuff like the boxes, star maps, and display stands. The
local vintage toy shop doesn't want them, so into the recycle they go.

Yeah, it's liberating to be throwing away packaging after hoarding it for so long. The simple truth is that I just don't need it. I'll never put the toys back in the boxes to sell them, so there's just no point to it.

I still keep instructions, though, because I recognize that I am old and senile. After Gustavo posted about G2 Laser Prime, I dug my toy out and realized I'd already forgotten how to get it back into truck mode. I was doing the chest flap and the shoulder flaps all wrong. So, that was handy.

You get your toys so much earlier that I forget you get them sometimes.

Do you ever order through Hasbro Pulse or Big Bad Toy Store, or do you pick up the toys when you find them at retail? These days, I order online as much as possible, because I simply don't trust the current state of retail shipping and distribution.

Also, as soon as toys hit and everybody is posting their pictures on Twitter or Reddit, I get the #FOMO jitters. Everybody is bragging about finding the toys without actually bragging about it. Usually, it's couched in a complaint or wry observation. Like, deliberately transforming a neo-G1 toy to look like its vintage counterpart and going, "Am I doing this right?" That sort of thing. Anyway, my point is that I hate being late to the party. The earlier I find these toys, the better.

I ended up canceling my Super7 Transformers Ultimates pre-orders because house payments are expensive, and I can't justify dropping $200+ almost every week. The way the Super7 toys were delayed for, like, a year and a half, to the point where waves one and two are now going to come out back-to-back, along with wave five of the TMNT Ultimates, is simply untenable. I'm doing much better financially than I was ten years ago, but at the end of the day my disposable income still has its limits. I'm sad about it, but I also know I would just fiddle with them for a while before putting them in a box, so...

Zob (still getting the Super7 Alligaticon, though, because that's something I need in my life)

Amazon. I don’t bother going to stores anymore, but I support my local
bookstore. They seem to get things in at random times.

It's weird I see a lot of stuff at retail before Amazon or Pulse start shipping their preorders. And forget about EE, they seem to take 3 months longer now than anywhere else.

Do you guys ever buy filler items to get free Amazon shipping?

I was 1 cent short when I ordered Twin Twist, so I found some 56 cent
piece of plastic junk and added it into the order.

For some reason, Amazon shipped that plastic piece of crap out
immediately. I could have sworn that in the past, Amazon would hold all
the items until your whole order was ready to ship (if you wanted the
free shipping).

Anyways, they tried delivering it to me on Sunday(!) and then on Monday.
I was home both times, but whatever. So now they're holding it at the
post office. I don't even want it, so of course I don't want to spend an
hour in line at the post office to get it. Do you think anything bad
could happen by not picking it up?

Wow, there's lots of cool stuff you can get on Amazon for fifty cents or so. Measuring cups! Super glue! a 1/4-20 Int. THD. 500 Lg. with Head E-Z Lok Press Insert for Plastic (Brass), whatever the hell that is!

Worst case scenario, they'll just ship it back to Amazon. Make sure you file a claim to get your 56 cents back!

The Hasbro Pulse link still shows a November release date. But, if they ship early, I absolutely won't complain!

The way the Super7 toys were delayed for, like, a year and a half, to the point where waves one and two are now going to come out back-to-back, along with wave five of the TMNT Ultimates, is simply untenable.

Oh, you're awesome. I appreciate you thinking of me!

I actually did reinstate my order after I was able to get my finances back on-track. I just wasn't happy about so many of my pre-orders hitting during that same May-June window. But, Super7 has massively delayed a lot of their releases so it's all been spread out again, which is what I wanted.

Zob (fifty bucks isn't a lot of money to spend on toys for me, but five hundred is still kind of a lot)
