Keldroc posted:Found Wave 3 at a semi-local Walmart today. Looks like Walmart is your go-to choice for Wave 3 for the moment, since all the retail sightings have been there. From previous trends, Diamond shipments of TFs arrive right around the same time the same item shows up on HST. Wave 3 is set to ship from Diamond in 2 weeks. So if the trend follows we should see Wave 3 in a few easier to attain places.

So uh... are Wild Rider and Slingshot or whatever they're calling them now going to be hard to get? Because I checked on BBTS and it says "LIMIT ONE - SOLD OUT" and that has me a little concerned. Especially because my local targets and walmarts suck.

Europe not getting wave 2 of combiner wars is especially bullshit given that they split up Superion and Menasor into separate waves and you can't even have a complete Superion unless you're okay with him having a Dragstrip arm.Rei_ posted:the rumour i've been hearing is that Hasbro cut specialty store orders because TRU is going to get them Hmmm. Getting TRU exclusives is always an interesting (horrible) experience. It's nothing short of a miracle that I was able to get MP Optimus, Grimlock and Rodimus when they were on shelves. If it's something people want (like MP Optimus or Grimlock) they show up for about a one week window, then disappear forever, never to be seen again. If it's something people don't want (Acid Storm, giant Cybertron Starscream, year of the horse blinged out Optimus) it'll rot on shelves forever. It won't be the end of the world if I miss them, because Superion and Menasor at least have the proper number of body parts, even if they're not the same dudes. Even though I'd love to have them. I'm lucky as hell to have Arcee \ Chromia \ Windblade because I never saw that wave in stores, ever. I'm not sure if it even ever saw most stores. I'd imagine Arcee and Chromia are pretty darn rare. They're last wave figures, plus in high demand I'd imagine. Only reason I have them is because I got them online.

I've been collecting for over 15 years now and I recommend treating every release as if it's the only/last time to get something. And everything will only get more expensive. Unless you actually buy it, of course, then it will stagnate or lose value. But if you really want something, don't gently caress around, snag it before it's a hojillion dollars. Even if it's widely released later, at least you got to enjoy it sooner. Sure I paid like $40 for Animated Ratchet at one point, but I also got that now-obscenely-expensive "anime deco" G1 Astrotrain for $50.

If you really really like something and consider it essential to your collection get it as soon as it's available. The "I'll wait for a discount/improved version" is better applied to stuff that you're kinda indifferent to, but you pick up at a lesser price later and maybe end up pleasantly surprised. e: THREAD QUESTION: Bombshell head preference: all silver, or black with silver faceplate?

So why does Leader Ultra Magnus have empty ports around his ankles that don't quite fit his weapons? Also I hate how he holds his hammer, it's not a tight grip, same with his guns. His really can't hold anything in a stable fashion. But he's seriously the best leader next to G1 Megatron. Like the top 3 leaders are G1 Megs, Ultra Magnus, and Jetfire. then again everything else is just a retool of G1 Megs or Jetfire..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhvIISDoarU The Taint Reaper fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Jun 10, 2015 |

Gammatron 64 posted:I kind of get the impression that Hasbro doesn't give a poo poo about Europe. Hasbro never really gave a poo poo about Europe as far as Transformers are concerned. Miserable, scattered distribution of lines for the past decade or so, usually just the first few waves at most. I recently checked a local store's Transformers shelves, seeing if they had CW stuff. A lot of Primes and Silverbolts(30 euros a pop), and only two of the limbs(23 euros a pop). Meanwhile there's still TF4 stuff, including those cheap nontransforming figures and a lot of one-step changers, clogging large parts of the shelves around the CW stuff. Other stores display similar layouts, so I'm not surprised that they're not gonna distribute wave 2.

With all the guys who were never combiners who are now getting combiners. I want a G1 Dinobot Combiner. If we can have a Full on Autobot combiner consisting of Optimus Prime, Rodimus prime, ironhide, Prowl, Mirage, and Sunstreaker. They could do the Dinobots since outside of Grimlock they have zero figures in the classics line.....that and it would complete the 1985 Autobots. That Rodimus repaint is like the biggest stretch ever.

Blackheart posted:I just hope his face doesn't look like this The combined form face should resemble the Diaclone Logo. I mean with all the references like Cyclonus becoming Galvatron and the Wreckers combined form being a dude who had a single frame in the comics. The Dinobot Combiner should feature a reference to the earliest transformers. it only makes sense.

I'm not sure why everyone's acting (noticeably from the US) like it's a problem for us in the UK/Europe to get...well anything really. There's plenty of places import or order them in without massive mark up, poo poo, I can't even remember the last time I bought a TF from a shop, and it's not for lack of seeing them.

You might like combiner wars. Spoilers: It has combiners, warring. Also (big spoilers from the ending): Knock-Out is confirmed to live on speed planet. There is a beast planet with Tigatron and Airrazor confirmed. And lastly, Elite One lives on a titan with faces of fallen transformers making up her furniture and chair so maybe Windblade will give you what you need.

I'm still reading them but it's no longer an "omg I can't wait until next month!!!" feeling at the end. It could be so much worse. Transformers fiction goes in waves. It'll be like this for a while, then it'll be really putrid at some point, and then it'll be great a few years after that. Seasons change. Soon you die. All things must pass.
