HOT WHEELS TRANSFORMERS - BARRICADE IS BACK! Controversially Recalled……Then Reissued!

[@LuckyMoua]

I've had first dibs on the set at Walmart twice, and I thought that the Decepticons were suppose to be like a random insert because I've seen lots of Bumblebee and Crosshairs from the case(s). The only Decepticon I've encountered was the Pagani. Hopefully, I can find it in the wild.

i had Barricade before that includes a Frenzy figure when the 1st Transformers live action movie was released in 2009

[@RetroToyEscapades]

2007 - that was an awesome figure!

Mattel makes Barbie so not surprised 😅 We can surely get custom decals for this

Very cool Hot Wheels vehicle, glad to see it back but I will never not find the whole situation to be ridiculous.

[@RetroToyEscapades]

You said it!

im amazed at how theyre so worried about the phrase while they even got the car model wrong bec barricade aint just a regular ford mustang gt. he is a modified mustang specifically a Saleen s281. they shouldve got that correct or else they be just producing cop variants of mustangs and just slapping decepticon logos and transformers logo on the box and fooling people put of the prices

[@someguyyoucanttrust1959]

Maybe hotwheels dosent have the license for Saleen anymore. They used to make models of them back in the 200s like the s7 and the s281. But yes you are right, they coulve used the older generation mustang gt or atleast a different model.

[@robertwong2412]

The wording is way more important to me than the car itself, because it represents a snub to the woke community. I'll stick to my 2007 barricade unless i can get the hot wheels barricade for regular price instead of scalper prices.

as if we can't picture decepticons capturing & enslaving autobots as a harmless cartoon plot without evoking the enslavement of Africans (that happened at the same time millions of Europeans were being enslaved by Barbary pirates)

my daughter collects Monster High, she's only 21 and even she and her septum pierced friends all complain about how Monster High has been "ruined" by woke BS
