You dont think you will find him at retail?

I didn't really want Breakaway in first place. Sure, if I find him when I have extra money, maybe I'll get him, but I'm more than willing to drop Breakaway to get the rest for cheaper.

Get Blaster, he's fun and a great homage to the G1 figure. Hasbro did a good job with him. And get rewind as a tablet, like that you can do the whole interaction thing, and youcan end it there by saying that you are basing it off of his casettes in the film and the only one around is Rewind

And yeah, I am pretty sure all eladers interact with Fort Max. For Sky shadow, you can tell with those little flaps near the bottom of his base at the extremities:

I'm not as excited about Wave 3 as the rest of the fandom. I did pre-order Hot Rod since the price isn't so bad on BBTS and I already have something in my POL. Don't think I'm getting any of the other deluxes unless I see a great deal. I also pre-ordered Six Shot. As mentioned above, I also thought it might get sold out. It'll be the most I've spent on a leader figure, and the first time I've played full retail.

Sixshot hasn't shown any compatibility yet, though I think him having his tank mode renamed 'battle station mode' is pretty telling.

I concur. I recently picked up Blaster and Rewind and they're a lot of fun. I saw someone post pics of Metroplex using Blaster in boombox mode ... I did it and was lots of silly fun. I also have buzzsaw (ordered it a while ago thinking I'm going to pick up SW, but I'm not). At some point I'll transform him into tablet mode and stick him in Blaster, because I can.

I'll third that notion. Blaster is fricken' awesome.

I kind of like the idea of Rewind commanding a combined Fort Max-Blaster base mode, and then they transform with Fort Max in robot mode carrying Boombox-mode Blaster with Rewind inside.

darn...I'll have to give it some thought.

Anyway...fun fact, all of TR can be ordered thus far at BBTS for $899 USD prior to shipping. To find them all at the cheapest retail (Wal-Mart, Target, & Walgreens) would be around $828 prior to tax.

Yea if you want everything and willing to pay full retail, you might as well just order from TF Source or Toy Dojo. No tax and free shipping for orders over $150. And don't have to hunt anything down. But I'm like many people here, looking for a deal I'm still debating if I should keep my preorder for Six Shot argh.

You better keep DAT preorder

oddly enough Voyager Megs was the first pre-order to sell out, at least on BBTS, not sure why though...

o.supreme wrote:oddly enough Voyager Megs was the first pre-order to sell out, at least on BBTS, not sure why though...

People want that megs

Because it's the best CHUG Megatron we've ever gotten to be honest.
Didn't realise he was that popular though. He's going straight to the top of my priority list...

Amazon finally has Transformers Titan Masters for $6, Transformer Titans Return Legends figures for $8, Deluxe Class action figures for only $14, and Voyagers for $24, and Leader class toys for $34 at http://amzn.to/2fC7VUH

Their 7$ price for titan masters is terrible, I don't get it , everything else is reasonable.

It sold out before gnaw?

Amazon prices haven't changed much, and I've been checking fairly regularly. Their wave 2 prices are odd. I did see deluxes offered from amazon directly, but for $20 so I passed. Everything else is ok.

When I checked this am, I'm pretty sure Gnaw was the only thing that sold out. I'm surprised megatron sold out. Thought most people wanted this mold as blitzwing. Plus, cw megs was well received and mp megs coming soon. How many megatrons do people need? (rhetorical question)

I think both of them sold out at the same time

nycPrime wrote:Plus, cw megs was well received and mp megs coming soon. How many megatrons do people need? (rhetorical question)

I know its rhetorical but I will tell you this: they will all be mine

Also, since sixshot is sent in solid cases (meaning he will be the only leader on the shelves), and also him not being as popular as either of the Leaders sold so far, I think its safe to wait for a more affordable price to pick him up (if budget is tight). I can easily foresee HTS still having him until they have another 20% off sale. Although, of all the leaders out there, if there is one to get full price I think this guy warrants it most (a lot of effort went into him). All I mean to say is taht a discount is always fun (and possible) but if I would buy one Hasbro toy at full price, it would be this guy.

Yes he has, check this pic out:



All leaders can connect to oneanother and Fort Max.

Considering this is the first Voyager CHUG Megs we've got since... what, Classics?

I don't doubt you, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be looking at. I can't see any ramps or connection ports.

Took me a minute too, K.
The silver wings have connections for ramps.

I know this will sound cruel, but I would rather you see them for yourself. Its one of those "once you see it, you wont believe you didnt before" type things. It is there in plain sight. I believe in you Kurona.

To be fair, it is the most subtle of all of them.

Too late, Cobo helped me
Doesn't look very stable since it's one piece on a hinge.

Gnaw was sold out at BBTS minutes (if not sooner) from when I received the notification email from BBTS. Megs was still available at that point. So, yes, if anyone trusts me and my eyes (which given my age, probably isn't a sure thing) Gnaw was the first single Wave 3 figure to sell out at BBTS.

I guess I'll have to army build through Target or something...
