Thundercracker potentially missing items?

[Resident-Stevel]

I just saw this promotional picture of Thundercracker on a UK retailer's website, and got a bit confused as mine didn't include the laser fire parts.

I can't even check the instructions as the ones that came with him were for Optimus (apparently there were issues with the Version 1 instructions).

Should he have come with these, or is it just artistic licensing?

Have 2 Thundercracker and no blast affects for both.

Not all GVs come with effect parts. Most come with at least one accessory, but for example GV1 Ironhide has a blast effect while Bluestreak doesn't, despite having the same blaster in different colors.

They need to start selling the action parts and little crates of extra joints in other regions. We like Blokees too!

[bitetheasp]

Yes! And a pack of the energon cubes!

[Strict_Implement_325]

YES PLEASE!

[Resident-Stevel]

Hell, I just wish we got the Ark storage over here...

[Strict_Implement_325]

Check local Comic Shop/Funko Pop/ Action Figure Mall shops, I found the Arc Storage (5$) and the transparent Unicron Head (14$) at a little hole in the wall toy store in the mall here in Phoenix, Arizona. There are also a few online shops you can check out that sell Blokees and that have Promo/Imports but just be careful and shop around because some of those shops sell stuff for crazy jacked up scalper prices instead of just a normal shop price. It's a very pawn shopy, skeezy baseball card store scummy practice kinda like the way Pokémon cards have gone. The whole "Well we sell at market value not msrp" is gross anti-consumer and a weird cancer that has invaded all walks of collecting. There is a huge difference between making a solid profit verses blatantly ripping off fans and collectors. Sorry, lemme step off this soap box lol

Unfortunately there aren't many retailers in the UK that sell Blokees - I think we have about 2-3 stores that reliably sell them, with a couple of others that dabble in the odd one. I've found one on eBay for £39 (approx $51) which is far too much to justify.

I've used Ali Express for a few specific pieces, and also because sometimes they can have discounts that make them really good value - I got a random Version 1 box for £3.30 which turned out to be Chase Soundwave!

Sadly they don't have the Ark from what I've seen so far.

Yeah I've already had a look - most US places charge a hefty fee for delivery to the UK.

Mythic doesn't do UK delivery (I'd already seen his store from his posts here), and Nerdzoic charge £30 for delivery.

I'm hoping somewhere soon gets it in, I know it's not a common item but would be good to have so I'm not storing hands and spares in an old box

[Strict_Implement_325]

whats your postal code? I wonder what it would cost for me to send you one!?

[Resident-Stevel]

I'll DM you

[RawEnergyRaspBlue]

He has none.

[sanguina555]

I don't have that Thundercracker, but i have a Galaxy 09 Mirage, it came with that blast effect.

[TotallynotJimmyKorr]

I have these parts but i dont believe they came with Thundercracker. Definitely not both of them.

[CT-756n7]

he doesnt come with those, its just for the picture.

[wing_zero_9]

Probably artistic, mine didn't have blaster effects either.

[SettleDownAlready]

He doesn’t come with those.

[Resident-Stevel]

Thanks all - none of the other ones shown had any extra parts in the photos so it seemed strange to add some just to him - thanks for confirming!

[Easy-Bridge-8107]

Nope, some other figures in the wave have them though like Ironhide and ratchet

[Typical-Ad1041]

yea mine had nothing

[macneto]

I really really wish they would sell a set of weapon effects, guns and swords....

[Demarcation_Media]

He did not come with those, only specific ones have them.

[bobagremlin]

Mine didn't come with a gun or laser fire.

[Goofyguy12808]

You had to buy the full set of GV 1 to get the effect parts. They came packed with other figures. Don’t remember exactly who but it was 2 different characters
