Origins Jazz and Guardian Robot Pre-orders Now Up

WJ, Thanks for the posting!

I wouldn't have checked Target today, so glad I was able to pre-order Jazz earlier this morning.

Thanks Seibertron.com. Thanks Seibertron staff. Thanks Will!

I love Cybertronian Transformers! ... well I guess I love lots of types of Transformers, and fun to get good Cybertronian forms.

I can confirm that they are. To who they are made available, I don't know, but I know they are a thing since I just saw a solid case (the brown box itself) for Legacy Jihaxus, Bulkhead, Soundwave, Arcee, Blaster, and Kingdom Pipes and Slammer.

I have always assumed that Amazon gets only solid cases of everything. As someone who pre-orders from Amazon on day 1 when they become available, typically the minute they become available, I have never gotten anything in a wave that should come together in a mixed case at the same time.

Plus, I cannot imagine Amazon would deal with having to break down a mixed case within their warehouse.

Hasbro Pulse "Premium" members can start pre-ordering those Toxitron G2 figures!

Also available: G1 Thundercracker, and G1 Hound! (Hound is sold out as of this moment)

So head over and pre-order what you will!

Amazon getting solid boxes makes sense that way but I think we have enough evidence that they do since there are a bunch of examples of one character being made available to order when a wavemate isn't. Same for one character in the wave being made available again while another isn't.

Hasbro Pulse only has about 5% of allocated US stock for new exclusives, so it's no surprise that some sold out already. However, all the new Walmart exclusives are still available at the main Walmart site. If there are any you want, it's best to preorder since some, like Galaxy Shuttle, turned out to be online only in the US. While the Toxitron listing has a picture of Grimlock's box, it is a mixup. Grimlock is not available yet. Below are the preorder links to these new figures:

Probably will regret not ordering Hound when I had the chance, but I got the two Legacy figures I wanted... hopefully. Praying to Primus that Walmart doesn't burn me like they did Galaxy Shuttle.

That was quick. Switched Cloudcover from HasbroPulse to Walmart.ca.

I'll still wait on Toxie.

If you missed ordering Legacy Shrapnel because it sold out? It's back in stock at Hasbro Pulse!

That was for Pulse Premium members and it sold out 2 minutes before being open to the general public.

Wow - guess people really want that Shrapnel. I can only imagine what it'll be like when Bombshell is announced...

BBTS has Shrapnel up for Pre Order

That core size "Bomb-Burst" everyone was so impressed with is available again on Hasbro Pulse! Not sure if it requires their premium membership to order, but it's at least viewable!

https://hasbropulse.com/products/transf ... bomb-burst

If you have the means, hurry before they're sold out again!

Armada Prime is up for preorder as expected today on Hasbro Pulse, TFSource and BBTS.

If anybody finds him on Amazon.com please post a link, because I can't find him there.

BBTS:
https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/ ... 236916?o=2

Hasbro Pulse

TFSource
https://tfsource.com/hasbro-transformer ... evolution/

Turns out Legacy Commander Armada Optimus Prime is very very popular among fans. He is currently sold out on Hasbro Pulse, BBTS and other online retailers. Amazon lagged at posting a listing and so, since fans purchased it elsewhere already, he is still in stock there. Below you will find the links for him on Amazon.com and Amazon.ca. He is around $90 USD and $135 CAD (which is over $10 more than he should be when looking at current exchange rates). He is bound to sell out there too as he is currently a number 1 seller.

Amazon.com https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Evo ... 130&sr=8-5?tag=seibertron07-20&

Amazon.ca https://www.amazon.ca/Tra-Gen-Legacy-Ev ... 464&sr=8-3?tag=seibertron0b-20&

Armada Prime earned that popularity

That 10$ markup for Canadians could be worse. The thing could be at Toys R Us.
Beside, if we import it from the USA, we have to pay for shipping so.

Anyway, for Armada Optimus I'm not taking any chances and I will not wait for a sale. I'm preordering right now as I did for Leader Armada Megatron.

Thanks for the alert!
I wasn't sure on this one, but I caved and pre-ordered it.

I'm glad Armada Prime is still available those that want it via Amazon. But I think despite it's initial success we will still have to wait until the toy is actually out to know how successful it is. But the signs seem good. In fact every CC has sold well and been a challenge to obtain except for Kingdom Rodimus, which actually was discounted up to and beyond 50% off at one point. Not saying it was a bad toy, but perhaps TT / Hasbro just produced more of that one for some reason.

Jetfire and Skylynx had multiple production runs, and from the online community comments, it appears a Motor Master reissue would probably be welcome as well, though it hasn't happened yet.

Has anyone else actually read what this Optimus Prime is best seller at?

It's number one for Wii games.

It's number one for PSP games.

And it's number eleven for all of video games, down from number eight yesterday.

The only actual video game to outsell Legacy Armada Optimus Prime is Zelda. Making it the number two best selling actual video game on all of Amazon. So that would also make it the number one XBox Series game, XBox One game, XBox 360 game, PS5 game, PS4 game, PS3 game, PS Vita game, Wii U game, 3DS game and DS game. That's rather impressive. Only a Switch game can outsell it and even then, only Zelda.

Is there a Webdiver or Daigunder feature to this release that hasn't been reported on yet to have it listed as a video game on Amazon? I mean, it's not that they took too long to get the listing up, it's just that I was checking in the action figure category and couldn't find it so I went to Pulse instead. If I had known to check the video games, I might have found it quicker. It's not on the featured Transformers search where it should be at the top above Cyber Commander Optimus Prime who's always up there for some reason along with Cyber Commander Bumblebee and the Cyber Battalion two packs and a bunch of Rescue Bots listings. Only the newest Generations figures make it up here like the newest wave of Armada Megatron, Devcon and the rest.

I just had a chuckle about it when I finally found the listing for it the other day and read what it was a best seller for. I realized why I hadn't found it before then after I read it.

I preordered not only due to the popularity of this figure but I watched a video from Nerdzoic the other day about a very unconfirmed rumor/speculation of Hasbro cutting back on production runs so as to not have so many figures left that go on sale. I mean, this was after a huge Black Friday sale and then still have so much old stock available after the warehouse sale only three months later. It's pretty crazy how many are still available for some figures after both those sales. So I wasn't taking chances with this one and snagged that preorder pretty quick.

Good thing I got my preorder in. This guy looks totally worth the commander price

That rumor comes up every so often, especially with the Titan Class figures. You have to remember though that "Hasbro Pulse" =/= "Hasbro". Pulse is a third party company working with Hasbro. They are basically the same as TFSource or BBTS just with a direct phone line. It is possible Hasbro Proper expected a Big Box retailer to make an additional order for stock that didn't pan out, or more likely that Meijer and Target are placing smaller orders based on previous sales numbers, but I wouldn't put a huge amount of stock into the rumor. At the end ofvthe day, I would stick with "does this look like a figurevthat is worth $89.99 to me? And if the answer is no wait for a sale

I had been checking Amazon daily since his official reveal. I got mine. I have and like the original, but this update just looks so good. I guess I can keep the original combined with Jetfire.

As for Kingdom Rodimus being discounted, it might also have to do with him not selling so well due to the limited-use trailer driving the price to that class.

It's not the first time, there were some Kingdom figures that were the best sellers in shoes. Amazon gets their wires crossed pretty badly sometimes.

Not true, Hasbro owns Pulse. Hasbro hosts Pulsecon and owns the Pulse social media channels including the YouTube channel where they reveal new figures. It's even on the Hasbro corporate website as one of their brands.



I think the confusion comes from them using a Shopify store front, but Shopify is just a tool that anyone can pay to use, they don't actually own the store.

Extra good back in stock today on Pulse.

I just snagged SS38 Voyager Prime. Legacy Brakedown, SG Soundwave and Slicer, ER Sky Lynx and a few MP's are also available for premium members right now.

We thank TF-fan kev777 for letting us know of Hasbro Pulse's new drop today, featuring quite a few figures fans have had a hard time getting.

Well what about Beast Inferno? I never get a chance to get that toy.

Okay never mind about inferno I can find him online. But what about crasher? I never get a chance to get her in stores.

No Buzzworthy Bumblebee Studio Series Cliffjumper? Sighhhhh.

Breakdown is already sold out :c

Canadians can still have Skylynx at the normal retail price at Age 3 & Up.

For any Canadians who just want Skylynx and don't want to pay a zillion $ in shipping.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:No Buzzworthy Bumblebee Studio Series Cliffjumper? Sighhhhh.

Agreed. And where are SG Jetfire and Buzzworthy Worlds Collide? I believe the latter was never available on Pulse US.

Yeah I was more hoping for BB SS86 Cliffjumper, Crasher and Shadowstrip as those are the only three I never had a chance at getting but still want. Supposedly Shadowstrip is getting a reissue but who really knows. I'd also like another Galaxy Shuttle or two to do some customs. I didn't actually expect them to sell out that quickly but I'm glad I got at least the one. I also still need Wild Rider but I think he's getting another run still. There's a few SS figures I passed on that I'd now like to get now like Shockwave but that's my own fault. At least I can finally get a BB Optimus Prime though as every time I looked to get him, he was sold out. I'd also like two more Black Roritchis but that's my own fault too.

Then again, I'm kind of glad they weren't put up since I found this over 6 hours later and all the ones I want would've been sold out again by now anyway. It would've been nice to have gotten an email about this from Pulse Premium though.

I never did find the World's Collide set either but I managed to get a set for just about retail. Or rather, in between retail and what should've been retail since one of them was a voyager but the set seemed to have been priced as four deluxes. Either way, I managed to find it for a price I was willing to pay.

Micktrap397 wrote:Okay never mind about inferno I can find him online. But what about crasher? I never get a chance to get her in stores.

That was barely a blip on Walmart.ca.

If I want her, I'll have no choice but to pay a zillion $ on eBay or AliExpress.

Already got em all

Whoa - blink and you'll miss it. Legacy (Evolution) Shrapnel was available on Pulse (05.01.2023) for about five minutes. But now it's sold out again.

Many have dissed this Shrapnel figure as being too simple. And yet, it's in such demand that they can't seem to keep it in stock. What's the deal with this one...?

It's really good plus there's an issue with getting a matched set of purple guns.

Thanx. Seems I missed the release dates for those during the stream.

We had our Transformers tuesday with several nice reveals. Now that it is thursday, all preorders said to be up this week are now up. You can see them below with links to Pulse and Amazon. Anything Legacy does NOT have a preorder yet, Hasbro will let us know when at a later date.

She's also loosely Unicronian in origin. She's a Herald of Shokaract (his highest-ranking one at that, bearing the title of "Herald Maximo"), who conquered Cybertron in the far distant future using Unicron's Dark Essence to make his own Matrix, the Matrix of Conquest.

And like I said in the selects thread, I really hope we get Shockaract and Cataclysm as well.

And, for the love of god, I want Windrazor!

All the different versions of each of the 3 Insecticons I already have, and dangit if I don't want this one just as bad as the Legacy one I haven't gotten around to opening yet.

Though this announcement would've been a lot funnier if it was Bombshell and Skywarp.

"Spend another 4 million years arguing about which one Unicron turned into the real Cyclonus after the Battle of Autobot City!"

It's simple. The real Cyclonus was rebuilt from Life Spark.
