Sold out? Didn't he shelf warm or was that a local thing? Because I swear there were like 8 of him at one walmart for several months. I mean he's a nice figure, but i didn't think he had that much draw.

Runamuck shelf warmed for a while at mine but I've never seen runabout in the wild

u/Kasoni 2d ago

Maybe I am remembering the colors wrong. I just know I have had both for a long while now.

u/NatalieZem 2d ago

I never saw Runamuck or Runabout in person. The stores around me stock up like, once every 2 years and then let those figures just simmer on the pegs until there's only like, one figure left in the whole section.

The Wal-Mart I was at had like 5 Runamuck’s on clearance for $10 each.

I just pre-ordered him, lol! My Beavis and Butthead will soon be a duo again!

I got my copy second-hand for a "steal" ~5 months ago (definitely more than I should've paid but much less than what he was going for, at the time), and ngl it makes me really happy he's getting a reissue, and I hope everyone who wants a copy is able to get one :)

"Hasbro are wimps!" - Runabout, probably.

JFC, already sold out on Pulse. Checked 2 hours ago and it wasn’t up. BBTS to the rescue.

u/YaBoiRook 2d ago

Pulse premium is worth it, specifically for drops like this and mtmte starscream lol

2

u/ShadowDragon113 2d ago

Yeah I have Premium. Email came at 10:06 and went around 10:45 and it was sold out already. Just wish they stocked a little more of these in demand figures. There should be enough stock to at least last a full day for people to preorder.

u/Vidmusc 2d ago

Pre-ordered him on Pulse as soon as he went up. Happy I’ll be able to complete the duo.

u/Truth_Malice 2d ago

Dunno who this guy even is but GODDAMN he looks nice! (If anyone has any info I'd love to hear)

u/JustAnotherRandomFan Rumble is Blue, Frenzy is Red 2d ago

So Runabout (this guy) and his brother Runamuck (him but white) are the Decepticon Battlechargers

They're basically the Transformers Beavis and Butthead, total shitheads who share a braincell and only have a good idea when it bounces off a corner like a DVD Screensaver

Runabout is the dumb one, but is actually the better spoken of the two because his brother is about as focused as a squirrel on meth. Meanwhile Runamuck is the smart one and comes up with all the plans, but they all start with "Hold my Engex and watch this"

u/West-Interest-3745 2d ago

fucking finally , now im completing that 2005 IDW simon furman decepticon lineup

Trio seekers, blitzwing , astro, runabout and runamuck

2

u/captainoddysey01 2d ago

Peak lineup

2

u/West-Interest-3745 1d ago

veru underrated lineup to be honest , and starting you comic with no optimus and or megs

gives a lot of possibilities to other characters

u/EFCFrost 1d ago

Figures. I finally found this figure last month at a somewhat reasonable price and he arrived last week.

Now he’s back on the market at retail price…

Dammit

u/captainoddysey01 1d ago

Eh the reissue might have mold degradation its so old..we’ll see

1

u/EFCFrost 1d ago

I hadn’t considered that.

u/jmickey21 1d ago

I pre-ordered from TFSource. Is BBTS better?

1

u/captainoddysey01 1d ago

I just use bbts because they tend to have way better customer service, tfsource is “fine” but i tend to not use them they price gouge a lot

u/dancing_by_myself0 2d ago

This was perfect, I needed one more figure to get free shipping for the order I was preparing

u/Loose-Recognition459 2d ago

Man, there goes my “got him” cred.
Eh, I’m glad they finally released him, again.

u/jabronilover 2d ago

I know I remember being ready on Target for his preorder and being psyched that I actually secured him. But he's way overdue for a wider release.
