First Retail Sighting of Platinum Age of Extinction Dinobots Unleashed set (Toysrus)

this set would be ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS if the majority of the figures were done in the brushed metal they used with a few chrome accents.. seriously.. this set could've been perfect.. but the way it is now is awful, they have some gorgeous brushed metal parts hodgepodge'd with the ugly smokey translucent plastic and random chrome/plain grey plastic parts.

had they all been done like strafe's wings with a couple strategically placed chrome bits and a couple small color accents, these would've been amazing.

We received a notification just the other day from staff and podcast member ScottyP, regarding the Amazon.com exclusive Age of Extinction Voyager Slog - the G1esque redeco of the general retail figure - and now, thanks to another Seibertron.com member Flashwave, we have an image of it shipped and in hand! Check it out below.

No, bbts is in American dollars, this is canadian.

Am I getting confused in my old age or was there some sort of an announcement that one of the AoE toys was going to be a metallic painted Op using the Voyager Battle Blades Optimus Prime mould?

Got mine in yesterday, late night.
Looks good in box, at least it was chromed and not painted as I had worried previously.
At least now this set is done with and can be assembled together in front of the Ark for some nice flicks.

got mine and i love it, interesting that it uses the exact same box as the regular Slog, even the regular Slog product shots. the figure itself looks so good with my SDCC Dinobots now. He'll make a fine Classics Slog for now

Actually, the G1 Dinobots came out in 1985, so it really is the Thrilling Thirty for this fig.

Hasbro planning for something? Nah.

At least in the US it is, but Amazon may have sold some to overseas importers (Strange concept, I know). I'm 15 minutes from the Plainfield IN Distribution Hub (Used to work there as Holiday temp...) so I figured I might get some of the first out.

Dog-goneit, I've been beaten out too many times for News credits, I won't be had this time!

I was wondering if anyone would comment on his Bathroom Selfie. I was actually heading for a soak in the tub when I found his box propped up near my bedroom door. And hey, would you believe it's better than my bedroom?

Also, so I've been told, some of the best Twincast/Podcast recordings have come from a Porcelin Studio.

I'll stop now...

It looks awesome, but I'd probably want it more if I had the SDCC dinobot set for him to go with. I'll get regular slog to go with my AoE dinobots.

What I've really been holding out for is a Nemesis deco on that mold... hopefully that's what AD-18 is:

That's a placeholder image. There is no "AD18" (or "AD19" either). The numbers got skipped for some reason.

That mold also already got the "evil/black Optimus redeco" treatment in Darkside Optimus Prime.

Well, that's what the listing is, so AD18 is all I have to refer to.

Lawson's exclusive doesn't count. It's not a Nemesis deco.

megatronus wrote:Well, that's what the listing is, so AD18 is all I have to refer to.

It's an old listing that hasn't been followed through. And those silhouettes aren't of a toy, but of the CGI models.

I really fail to see your point. What are you trying to prove?

I know it's a placeholder. I know it's the silhouette of the CGI model. So what? I expressed my hopes for what it is - that's it. Until this listing (regardless of the name or number) is definitively revealed there's not much else to say.

megatronus wrote:I really fail to see your point. What are you trying to prove?

What I'm trying to say is that the listing isn't for anything. It and AD19 were both originally listed with the rest of the Wave 2 Movie Advanced Series toys, but when Wave 2 came out, these two didn't. The line progressed and moved on without bearing any results for those two numbers. The line is pretty much over now with every revealed toy already released and on the market, barring any surprise exclusives that might turn up (which "AD18" and "AD19" weren't since they were part of the main line). There's nothing left to look forward to from any "AD18" or "AD19". The line simply skipped over those numbers for reasons unknown.

Is it safe to assume the last of the AOE Constructbots have been canceled? I remember seeing we were supposed to get more of those foil bagged "Dino Riders" like movie Starscream and I think ROTF Megatron. What about those fully transformable Kreo kits?

I spotted AOE Constructbot bumblebee recently and I had never seen him before.

It was a wave 1 set. These Dino Riders I'm talking about were going to be Wave 3, or 4 figures. Should've been out before the holiday.

No, I meant this bumblebee:



I was talking about AOE construct bots in general. I know the dino riders you are talking about and I didnt see them either. But if this Bee and the accompanying Hound were finally found at retail, yours might too.

Yeah I knew you meant that one. That was a wave 1 or 2 set. It's been on HTS for awhile now.

Yup, for some reasons, those two were only found at Winners. Great sets too because there's some new parts in these and the transformation is slightly different.

As far as I know they were. I actually didn't get to TRU that much over the summer so I'm the wrong person to ask

I love it, the display/caption possibilities are a comedy gold-mine.

My favourite is:

Its Two toys in one!

i saw that. pretty neat. the "one color" proto's always have a nicer look to them than the multicolored ones.

I really want a Silver Knight version of the standard Leader Optimus Prime. I have the Target exclusive repaint of the FE mold, and the Smash-Change, but I want a regular Leader in the SK theme. And a One-Step while we're at it.

I could repaint one myself, but I'm hopeless at painting. I once painted a doghouse for my dog and the ASPCA was all over me. So yeah, let's have these Silver Knights, Hasbro!

There is a silver knight one step but it's part of a Target exclusive set.

A 50-60$ set, Target exclusive.

Also, the line is pretty much over so a SK Leader will never happen.

Hey does anyone know how long Big Bad Toy Store keeps the transformers movie figures in stock? I'm wondering how long the Age Of Extinction platinum edition sets will be available.

TransformersFan89 wrote:Hey does anyone know how long Big Bad Toy Store keeps the transformers movie figures in stock? I'm wondering how long the Age Of Extinction platinum edition sets will be available.

Depend of how many they have in stock and how popular the thing is. If they have it for too long, it will eventually get on clearance. Sometime, a toy is their for just a few days, other times, they have if for years. You can never tell.

It's up to you not risk missing out and buy right now, or try your luck and wait for a sale.

That totally exists actually. TRU has an exclusive silver deco leader optimus set that comes with the MP trailer and an exclusive sideswipe toy.



But maybe I got the wrong optimus, and if so, sorry for the confusion.

That would be the First Edition mold. The only Leader-sized Silver Knight is the Target exclusive Platinum series Silver Knight Optimus Prime, also from the First Edition mold.

Wait, so this guy is an inbetween silver knight Optimus then? Because he has more silver than the original amazon exclusive first edition mold but less than the target exclusive first edition mold. Why so many dumb editions of this terrible modl?!

Silver Knight Optimus Prime gets his title from the color he's in, not from what the toy is made of. Currently we have:

- a One Step Changer in a multipack
- a Japanese One Step in another multipack, dubbed "Armor Knight Optimus Prime"
- a chromed out Deluxe from the DotM Deluxe mold, packed with a G1-colored FoC Grimlock
- a First Edition redeco in grey with some chrome
- a Construct-Bots Dinobot Rider
- a Kreon
