when is the family2015 code suppose to expire? I just ordered brainstorm & it went through no problem.

Not sure, I would say at the end of the month, but usually these codes only last a week, so maybe they forgot to remove it?

Just need Leader Megs to be re-stocked before it ends. $45 is a lot to pay for it. $35 is more like it.

Okay, so for some reason Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada) is really having a shortage of anything Combiner Wars show up, and the one question I really want to know, is about the comics that come with the figures.

All the galleries only make me want some of these figures more (I still have all of the original Stunticons, and all the Menasor parts), but the question a lot of us want answered that the galleries have yet to contain is the comics, and their content.

Are they like the Marvel One-Shots that are extras on the DVD / Blu-Rays that are about an individual character, made for that individual release, or are they like the 2014 comics that came with the figures, that were one issue of part of the series?

The comics included in the first and second waves are reprints of IDW robots in disguise pre-dark cybertron. Showing the build of Prowlastator. The comics for Combiner Wars event doesn't hit comic shops till this month

Thank you. That one question has been bothering for a couple months now, since I see the figures everywhere online, but for some reason retail stores around here are just not restocking toy departments. Actually, we're not getting new figures, they're still just selling "Age of Extinction" figures, and lots of people I know want the new Stunticons / Aerialbots, but no one here knew a thing about the comics.

There is a toy convention coming here in a month, and I'm going to see if anything surfaces there. If not, I'm going to buy them online. Thanks again for the info.

To elaborate:

TFWiki is saying that the wave 2 toys come with RID issues 13-16.

Wave 1 probably comes with issues 9-12, which I think is when the Aerialbots left Iacon.

Remember Canadian retail likely will not receive the comics. Just as with last years toys that shipped with comics in other countries we didn't get them. Unless the comics are reprinted with English and French, we will probably get cards with later waves instead.

I thought of that too for when we finally get them, but since both waves are out, and that convention is coming in a month, you know someone is going to have them shipped in so they can be one of the first ones to sell them here, so we're probably going to see US releases first.

I don't know if this has been asked yet, but how do all of the Stunticons seem to interact with the Aerialbots? Dragstrip has that part that flips up when he is a foot so he is the same length as the other legs, but none of the other Stunticons seem to have that same part. If one uses Breakdown and Air Raid as legs, are they the same length?

[King Kuuga]

All the deluxe figures are made to be completely interchangeable. You can have Optimus Prime as the torso with Drag Strip, Air Raid, First Aid, and Breakdown as limbs, for example. All leg formations are the same height.

Thanks so much for sharing this. Not sure what to buy. It's good to see Blackjack at $9.99 and not $29 like on Amazon.

So only Dragstrip has the need to shorten up for his leg mode? I did compare arm lengths, and it looks like Dragstrip's full length arm mode is the same length as all of the Aerialbot arm mode. I was more concerned with the leg modes.

Well I only actually own Alpha Bravo, but the entire point of the line is the ability to form a combined robot out of any 4 deluxes and 1 voyager, so it wouldn't make sense if one leg was longer than the other. Sounds like Dragstrip is in a weird situation.

Pre-orders for wave 2 are out until the end of April now......they will be at retail well before that date.

[ZeroWolf]

How long before we find out what wave 4 is though, okay the rumour mill has revealed everything but I mean when will hasbro release the official pictures of wave 4.

Pretty sure they are waiting for Botcon to reveal that.

BotCon at the earliest, NYCC at the latest, or SDCC in the middle.

I came across some more killer CW combinations. Want Wildrider errrr DeadEnd to be a part of your Menasor but cant wait for HasTak? Grab a GDO Wildrider to fill in, Legends Groove style!

[shajaki]

Also, who can forget Gikpa's multiple BlackJack upgrade? Well he's taken the same approach to CW Optimus Prime and Legends PowerGlide!

[Cobotron]

Coooooo-el!

[Sabrblade]

But that's GDO Dead End!

[shajaki]

duurrrr FIXED!

[Va'al]

FWIW, anything from Takara won't have IDW comics in them since IDW comics ordinarily aren't domestically sold in Japan.

And that is now changing.

Awesome. They have been giving us such great TF art for so many years. Hope they like some more of ours.

Nope: the GDO toy is called Dead End but he takes after Wildrider. I know, confusing...
