Agreed. I have zero interest in them, but there seems to be something about Amazon, perhaps the pre-conceived notion of scarcity, despite its contents? Also the unfortunate difficulty with which some fans in other countries have to go to in order to obtain them. I mean they probably only had a small quantity on hand at Pulse, but those sold out quickly. In contrast I believe the Autobot 2-pack from Siege, and the Mirage/Aragon/Impactor sets stuck around for a while, well over a year and even went on sale multiple times.
It just goes to show, you never know with Amazon sets. I do hope late this year we get something akin to the Galactic Odyssey sets. It seems to be a pattern since Siege, release 2-3 *premium* sets during the lines run, then a few more later in the year to close the line out.

Emphasis mine. How is this not that?
I like my Earth Mode bots. I'll say I'm slightly let down by Mirage, but Sideswipe is fine.

I understand the name "Battle across Time", some may associate with GO from ER. However....
I associate "Battle Across Time" with:
Siege: Decepticon Phantomstrike & Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce and
ER: Dirge/Ramjet & Ironhide/Prowl
These all had premium artwork/packaging
The GO sets had more *selects* style plain brown boxes. I could be wrong however, there doesn't seem to be any evidence we are getting any more Battle Across time sets than just the 2 that have been revealed. I would think, similar to last year, some more Amazon exclusive sets to finish out Kingdom (perhaps with a different theme) would come later this year, *if* they plan to do such a thing.
Currently, the rumor (supported by both leakers and Amazon AU listings) is that Kingdom has a Galactic Odyssey equivalent called the Golden Disk collection which includes (so far) a Deluxe Terrorsaur, a 2 pack of Huffer repaints as Road Ranger and Puffer, Jackpot, and some kind of Tigatron.sol magnus wrote:How is this not that?

Yes, with the barrage of info we've gotten from leakers I forgot about this. Bring it on.

Seconded . I totaly forgot about the rumored Golden Disk sets. Those totaly are the GO for 2021 . I'm sure they will have some unique repaints, but I'll have to see them before deciding. The Botropolis set was the only GO one I picked up because of the additional Modulators. If anyone them have a couple new Fossilizer decos I may go for that.

Dang, I went and canceled mine off Amazon when I noticed Target had them still for $19.99.

Target's date was July 1st from the beginning, I think. I pre-ordered from both, so now I have to pay attention to see if they start actually shipping from Amazon before Target and decide who stays and who goes.

I'm happy about him getting here 2 months early, even if I didn't exactly have the cash. Rhinox has been moved up to July 5th, so he should be here in a couple of weeks.
