Thanks to fellow Seibertronian, DrLegend, we have our first legit (and proven) sighting of Deluxe Wave 2! This wave consists of Air Raid, Breakdown, Dead End and Off Road.

I went to Wal-Mart this morning near my work in Mesa, AZ and found an assortment of the new figures and limbs.

Happy hunting to the rest of you!

If you have sightings, send them to sightings@seibertron.com and news to news@seibertron.com, and as always...

That's very cool! Some of my pals around NC have told me in a text that they're out and about at some Walmarts here too. Nice to see that, just maybe, these are hitting roughly everywhere (geographically speaking) about the same time?

I luckily caught this yesterday morning and grabbed the remaining parts for Menasor (minus Motormaster sadly) and then I also managed to find the Silver Megatron in Toys r us!

Good,

I have yet to find them in my neck of the woods yet. My order from hasbrotoyshop.com is on FedEx truck for delivery today!! Yay.

-I originally ordered on hasbrotoyshop.com on 03.12.15 and got 20% off/free shipping. My expected shipping date was 03.27.15.

-I called customer service that day and was told shipment had been delayed from manufacturer. My order went from standard/shipping 03.27.15 to standard/backorder.

-Then I was really happy to see figures were IN STOCK and available for purchase 04.01.15. My order was upgraded to express/not shipped.

-I got confirmation that figures shipped overnight yesterday around 6:16 pm Central Time. I cannot wait to get home and assemble me some bots. I got Motormaster on same order already so wave 2 deluxes and Motormaster was $79 total.

I was going to take all the negative things I've said about hasbrotoyshop.com back, but got my Generations Leader Megatron yesterday and the figure box was ripped to hell. It looked like someone yanked figure out of shipping carton and almost completely tore off one side of packaging. The shipping box arrived unscathed.

My wave 2 stuff arrived less than 24 hrs after being shipped. Pretty impressive. Already put all four through their four modes and combined them with the rest of their teams. My Air Raid and Deadend don't want to stay together all that well, unfortunately. The soft plastic on Air Raid doesn't want to stay in place in vehicle mode and Deadend's legs aren't holding together in vehicle or arm mode. Better positioning of pegs could have mitigated both of their problems. Otherwise Offroad and Breakdown are great and take to all four modes well.

With wave 2 stuff arriving, I think it's time to see scramble city taken to its logical extreme. Create some wild combinations, and share your pics!

He looked so good I just had to pick him up.

Spent yesterday looking for mainly wave 2 CW stuff. Managed to find Motormaster. Only deluxe I saw anywhere was one wave 1 Aerialbot (the grey one) at TRU. Most places did have Silverbolt, a few also had Optimus. Huffer seemed to be at most places, TRU also had a Windcharger, but since I already have Tailgate I passed.

Every place is still cluttered the hell up with AOE, some about 50/50 with rid15, some with only a small bit of rid15 but tons of AOE. Target even still has last year's Gen stuff shelfwarming (but not the Arcee wave, that never showed up here).

So to preserve my sanity, I checked online, and when I saw how reasonable BBTS's price on wave 2 limbs was, I did not hesitate. I really would like to buy locally, but just can't. Such a shame. Get it together, retailers and Hasbro.

This is definitely the day for Combiner Wars News. Not only are the pre-ordered wave 2 figures arriving from HTS, and not only are those same figures finally available at US retail, but the extra limbs, Quickslinger and Brake-neck, (aka Slingshot and Wildrider) are now available for pre-order at Robot Kingdom. They are sold as a pair for 39.80$ US and start shipping May 4th 2015.

I agree, it's been a pretty exciting and fun day.

Just got home and opened the box. Only one I'm not happy with is Breakdown. He's terrible. Lol.

Uh, yeah no. RK says 39.8 for the two pack plus another 25 in shipping... So 65 for 2 deluxes or 33 each. (roguh rounding) Gonna have to think about that before I plunge. Paid worse in this hobby, but I don't mind the looks of Bravo or Offroad and am perfectly happy renaming them. I do kinda want Slignshot though, since I have a thing for Harriers

I think I'll wait to see if I can get the two exclusives without paying more than twenty bucks in shipping.

Okay, I could have phrased that better. His head isn't that bad...But the fact that his alt-mode horn is positioned SO FAR UP ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD (which is the only thing I don't like about him) makes his head seem so much smaller.

I wonder who else will have those two available.. I want pre order but not sure if I like the $22 shipping..

Nah. Not yet. Now once we get the two exclusives and hit wave three or four, that's when we can get really wild.

And since the Combiner Wars system is based on Scramble City but is bigger, as well as more complex and advanced, I vote to nickname it "Scramble Nation". 8-}

Cyber Bishop wrote:I wonder who else will have those two available.. I want pre order but not sure if I like the $22 shipping..

I am sure. I'm sure I don't like it at all. Definitely gonna wait and see on this one, especially since I still intend to get Wave 3, as well as work on keeping up with the RiD toys.

I think the problem is, Bombshell's head/face when commonly depicted is essentially two red eyes, the bridge of a nose, and a close helmet visor for a jaw that extends to each shoulder pylon. He usually doesn't have too much of a defined head proper, it's usually sunken into his shoulders. So When here's a gap between the shoulder pylons and the head, like on combiner wars bombshell. it look smaller than it actually is.

I'm less certain, but not hung up on fine dining. It'd be nice if these don't wind up being a complete headache to acquire.

I do wish they would've switched around more than just the heads for Slingshot and Wildrider. Wildrider, at least, could've mixed parts from Dead End and Streetwise (SW's chest, thighs, gun maybe)

It is possible the shells are incompatible. The core of the figure might be all that is shared.

I think they might have to basically make all the parts of each for that and then melt back down the unused parts, depending on what parts are on what mold sprue. Just a guess.

And I remember back when just getting a new head was something special. And even to back before that, to when it just plain didn't happen at all.

You might remember that exclusive sticker sheet that Hasbro Asia was promoting as a purchase incentive for Combiner Wars figures - thanks to YouTube reviewer TeamSKLeader, we get a nice look at this official add-on set, and find out its flaws and pros. There is a full list of videos showing them applied to the different figures, but the one embedded below shows the whole set, and general thoughts by our fellow fan!

Looks like a nice freebie.... but I gotta say I am LOVING the ones I got from Reprolabels a LOT more. Skydive was already my favorite combiner from this set... but the added details on the chest and arms really popped.

These... I don't know. They're ok, but they don't do much for me. Maybe the Silverbolt or Alpha Bravo ones since I don't have any add ons for them... yet.

CapturedPrey.com has Brakeneck and Quickslinger for pre-order at $18.00 each. I pre-ordered one of each and with shipping, just under $45.00 for the two. Compared to what I normally pay for 3rd party figures, $45.00 for two Deluxe Class figures is chicken feed.
