Kingdom Tigatron Found at US Retail

I guess I'll swing by my walmarts and Target on the way home from work. None of them has had voyager Kingdom stuff, so hopefully Tiggy came in. Who is his wavemate?

I wrote it all in the article in case people would ask.

The people have spoken

Neato, now I just need to find one. Last Beast Wars S1 Maximal character I need. Already got Terrorsaur on preorder, and hopefully we get those Tarantulus and Inferno reveals soon in the new line (and they're actually good), and I'll have the whole cast.

So BBTS just charged me for slammer and pipes

Oh yeah it's right there. I did read the article but for some reason I didn't see that. Maybe I was thinking too hard about finally being able to get one.

I hope you do find one. Take care

My orders for the golden disk figures of Jackpot and the Puffer pack say they should be to me on Friday the 3rd. Much earlier than the march 2022 release date before. Very excited to get these in!

Got the same email from Amazon. Looks like we really are going to get the exclusive repaint before Pipes.

Emerje

Yup. Just got charged for Golden Disc Puffer and Road Ranger. Was not expecting them so soon.

I haven't pre ordered them, but I have them.in my wish list, Jackpot got changed 12/1, so that is cool. Again, if anyone wants to sell just their battlemaster Sights, please PM me.

Sadly this is a race I'm not gonna win, I just got Rodimus today so I'm gonna wait a bit before I ship Pipes, Slammer, and Artfire

The Golden Disk sets are coming in. Various places in the world are getting these sets with Puffer and Ranger being sent to our UK friends and Terrorsaur appearing in Asia. That means we have reviews and images for these toys. In the US, it seems Jackpot and the Puffer set will be in fans hands soon, as well as the wave 5 deluxes from Kingdom. So it's exciting news. Hasbro did state the dates stipulated for release included a buffer and with how well things turned out for our hobby it seems we are getting many toys a whole quarter earlier than expected.

Terrausaur look good properly transformed.

Yeah, he looks good. Wish he was taller, but he'll work fine on the modern BW shelf.

Amazon just charged me for the road ranger/puffer set. So I guess it's on it's way. Wish they would have told me it was coming early and given me the option to say yes/no like they have in the past. They just took my rent money, and my apartments have a zero-tolerance late policy. Meaning if I don't have my rent friday, they will file eviction monday. Thanks amazon

What's with all the Google ads popups when clicking anything on here recently

Looking forward to Terrorsaur and it should compliment TL batconvoy pretty well. I'm pretty wary of preorders at the mo knowing black zaraks still to be paid for as well as a few of the tmnt power ranger packs (which I can see being half price in little to no time but something I don't want to risk not having the full set of).

blackeyedprime wrote:What's with all the Google ads popups when clicking anything on here recently

It means you're not Brave enough.

Are these ads pc only? I don't get them on my phone

Phone as well as pc, eg clicking reply or to next page will bring up a little ad box. It's only happened a few times so far but enough for me to have gone from thinking that's weird to it doesn't look like a one off.

Puffer and Ranger are on their way and should be here Friday. December 3rd is quite a jump from March 3rd lol. Now, if only we can get PIPES to show up for retail.

I think it's time that the Toy of the Year actually had some images shared in here. Because he is truly wonderful.

This has been happening to me too, and some of the ads are very "clickbait garbage" in nature. It's only happening with Seibertron.com, though, I think specifically in the forums.

This beats kingdom tigatron paws down... Now if only hasbro collab and figures could be this good and their tfs have all their alt modes XD



Also Kingdom core class Rodimus pics out on the Web, kapow posted a fuzzy photo from someplace

https://m.facebook.com/Planetiacon.stfu ... _tn__=EH-R

Looks like it is on Kingdom promotional background rather than legacy

There's a lot going on with his feet, and like the Core seeker mold he has a faux chest, but overall Hot Rod looks good.

I do wish that where possible the designers for the class would take more inspiration from the original toys than more modern toy transformations, but the results have been pretty good so far.

We have great news to share with you, especially to those who feared the dreadful final wave syndrome. Transformers Kingdom voyager wave 5 has been found at US retail. It consists of Blaster (with Eject) and Tigatron. TF fan LoneDragon found this at a Walmart in Southwest Virginia. Here are the wave contents:

2x Blaster
1x Tigatron

If you have found them, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.

This sighting was originally posted here.

After Hasbro said that Pipes, Blaster and Slammer would be the final toys released in Kingdom, we get news that there may be one other new toy coming out before the line's end. It is core class Hot Rod. Now we had seen him in the Legacy wave 1 reveal poster, but now we get an actual look at the toy with a fuzzy image that any bigfoot enthusiast would appreciate. We see him in both modes and it's clear enough to see that the chest is very different from the car's actual front. The packaging is from the Kingdom line so it looks like Hot Rod will be in the final core wave of Kingdom and then in the first wave of Legacy.

The toy is available on e-bay right now for $26 and free shipping: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?siteid=0&pub=5574891718&campid=5336631220&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1&mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F284550210831%3Fh%20...%20d%3DTFWNews2%3C%2Fa%3E%26

1. Voyager Wave 4 just came out and now wave 5 is showing up? Makes me wonder if the person that found Tigatron had actually missed a bunch of Blasters.

2. That Core Hot Rod looks pretty good aside from the weird legs.

Emerje

Wow. Death knows a lot of things, but I sure can't figure out Hasbro's distribution system. They make us wait months for some waves, while others burst into existence seemingly overnight.

It's not "Hasbro's distribution system," it's global shipping networks. It's not like someone at Hasbro is flipping levers so that a random store in the US puts out their case of toys later than everyone else while another in a different part of the country has them much earlier.

Edit: see for example:
https://www.supplychaindive.com/news/ha ... ed/608923/
https://www.supplychaindive.com/news/ma ... ht/609217/

Looks cool, but it's still a pass for me.

Well, that would certainly explain one of the missing entries in the Kingdom numbering.

I didn't even notice the baby legs dangling off the back of the feet at first. Skipped all the cores so far but I think legacy (or how much t30 rattrap costs) will change that.

Smart, had not thought of that. So maybe wave 4 didn't hit the US yet. Both were found at Walmart and since Blaster has a bigger demand, so maybe those were bought first, leaving that person to find Tigatron.

A bot with a sword? Gimme!

Possibly... unless there were any Rhinox sightings (Tigatron wave 4's wavemate). I mean it partially makes sense that they would include Tigatron also in wave 5... But part of me still wishes it was Inferno

Kingdom Voyager Breakdown:

Wave 1 Primal(2) Cyclonus(1)
Wave 2 Dinobot(2) Inferno(1)
Wave 3 Rhinox (2) Cyclonus (1)
Wave 4 Tigatron (2) Rhinox (1) (this just makes no sense to me but...)
Wave 5 Blaster (2) Tigatron (1)

As you can see, there is an Inferno shortage. Unless Hasbro thought he might not sell well based on ER Grapple (which while it did shelf warm somewhat, still sold well, at least in my area).

I've seen Inferno only ONCE ever in store, while I saw Dinobot plenty of times when that wave was around. I personally am not looking to purchase Inferno (I got Artfire and am happy with that), and I also know some sites still have Inferno in stock, but despite his similarities to Grapple, kids are way more into Firetrucks than Utility trucks. Now we know Inferno is seemingly the least produced Voyager from all of Kingdom. I just hope anybody who wants one got it.

Wave 5 IS Blaster and Tigatron, I don't get the question marks. Entertainment Earth is your friend for those questions.

Not everyone looks at EE, and last I checked, it was not made known on any public forum, but thanks for the update all the same.

The thing with Grapple is he was 2 to 1 in wave along with Starscream, so of course it seemed like there were a ton of him.

Dude that Terrorsaur looks wicked awesome. Much better than even the stock photos. Hes the only one I ordered from the golden discs. So after him and Pipes I am done with Kingdom, WFC was great.

For the people talking bouts the ads here; dont u use Adblock Plus? I never get any ads anywhere online when I use it basically.

All the Kingdom Voyagers that came 2 per case didn't seem to have issues selling (Primal, Dinobot (was the slowest, but still sold well), and Rhinox so far).

I just checked EE to see who the other deluxes are that are coming in wave 5 with Pipes & Slammer, they didn't have a listing for that yet, so..yeah...not the greatest source of info.

True, but you may be leaving out the 1st wave massive ordering phenomenon. Earthrise wave 1 would have been ordered before the pandemic began.

Siege Starscream was everywhere back in the ancient days of 2019, if you remember.

I thought it was common knowledge that people like Inferno more than Grapple? You know so that they could recreate the rescue trio with Red Alert and Prowl! lol

It's true, but I'm just saying Grapple 'not selling' didn't come down to simply 'he sucks.'

Glad Tigatron is slowly showing up in stores. Hopefully he will show up everywhere online soon. I am starting to lose my patience for this figure.

Check again its Blackarachnia and Airrazor (also didn't we have this exact same conversation 10-15 pages ago?)

OK, so their site search is convoluted, no wonder I don't use them. I search for "Tigatron", I get the individual listing AND the wave listing. I search for "Pipes" I get just the individual listing. I have no time for such nonsense.

It is definitely clunky. I only use them for info on wave cases because they seem to be most accurate. My trick to outsmart the search?
Use: Transformers wave case
Basically search for the cases first then find the the wave/figure from there. And if you want to narrow down further throw in the class.

Now that being said, while I find the the best resource for case info specifically, they still haven't updated the SS wave case with SS86 Perceptor, which is weird because their placeholders are inaccurate saying movies 1 2 and 3, but are all supposed to be from the Bumblebee movie.
