While the toys from Takara and Hasbro may be the same now, the distribution is completely the opposite. FOr those not in the know, the "mainline" Earthrise toys are exclusives in Japan while the Netflix series toys are not. It could be that Japan is going by the old addage of the main line being the one that ties directly to the prominant media, where one supports the other.

The good thing here is that it means people who missed out on Walmart preorders or who simply do not have Walmarts to buy the exclusive Netflix toys from have more options. Especially for exclusive retools like Elita-1 and Bumblebee.

Those two are currently available for preorder at Amazon Japan. They ship worldwide (shipping will be combined) and they are a bit less than $25 USD a piece.

It just occurred to me that Wave 2 is a lot of Earthrise molds (plus Red Alert), so maybe the spoiler pack will be for Chapter 2? If so, I could see it being a Nemesis Prime or Nova Prime from GUOP.Maybe as a "Mercenary" captain for the ship from the end of Chapter 1?

Or perhaps another one of Shockwave's experiment clones.

Would be interesting if it’s double dealer with merc symbols.

Astrotrain was featured ominously in the show

I tried both my USA and Australian mailing addresses for the Japanese preorder, it rejected both by saying it would not ship to either of these addresses.

And then it added something about increasing the quantity, which makes me think this is for wholesalers only.

So looks like at the moment, us Australians cannot obtain this Bumblebee toy.

When is Bumblebee supposed to drop in the US? Is there a chance Japan will get it sooner?

Nemesis Prime is a pretty safe bet for the next spoiler box. It does say Fanguron Giza right on the front in Cybertronian in the same place it said Battlefield Rung on the previous box, that's Nemie's sword partner from PotP and Arms Microns. His name is Fanguron Giza so maybe it's a Slitherfang repaint? Giza has been a shark and a bird so far, why not a snake now?

Not sure what the spoiler would be unless he shows up in Earthrise?

For the 2nd spoiler box, (we know its a leader figure with a Battle Master) along with Giza, I think some are speculating it will be some sort of redeco of Galaxy Prime, based on:

Leader UM has been released twice (retail and spoiler box 1)
Leader Shockwave has been released twice (retail and selects Galactic Man)

Astrotrain is a distant possibility, but literally he was in 2 shots in the final episode that very much looked like late additions just to say he was there. The text revealing Giza is accurate, however, this 2nd wave is specifically still supposed to be tied to Siege, so not sure how that works since Giza was not part of it. But then again neither were any of the other Battle Masters in the other packs from the 1st wave....

I wouldn't mind a Nemesis Prime from the Galaxy Upgrade Prime mould, though mainly because I never managed to get the original. It would also be great to have a Nemesis Prime that's a different mould from the Earthrise Leader Optimus Prime, it would make him feel more like a distinct character and not just a standard black repaint.

So I had a random thought today while I opened a certain Autobot space shuttle.

At the end of the series, Teletran was signaling an approaching spacecraft. Could that possibly be our Magnificence friend?

I thought it was the Nemesis. Then a space battle ensues and they both crash. And Earthrise begins.

Not sure on that. Megatron had no need to crew a craft because he was winning. The Autobots were retreating. It makes more sense that what they end up encountering is either Sky Lynx or an Earth-based spacecraft.

Going off some recently revealed Earthrise art, it could be a ship captained by Doubledealer.

My first thought was this. And I still feel like that's the most logical answer. Warden explained (somewhere) that Earthrise was the story of their travel through space to get to Earth. (don't ask me to explain why they already have Earth modes. I don't know. Wolfman Jake said they were so excited for the Earth party, they picked out their 'fits early. :lol: ) But, I like the possibility of it being Sky Lynx too. Who could very well be the ally that leads them to Earth.

Plus, would the Nemesis be "unidentified" to Telatran 1? It's a pretty smart computer, well versed in all things Cybertronian.

Probably the Quints though, I reckon they'll be a big enemy presence for the first part of Earthrise, just hope they aren't using the quint created the tf story line.

I was just wondering how the Decepticons would even get to Earth, but wasn't the point of Runamuck winning the fan poll to be that he somehow stowed away aboard the Ark? I wonder if that will play out, or if the idea will be dropped in favor of something else?

Given Doubledealer being part of the Earthrise range, I can see his faction gimmick coming into play for the story side of things. He may save them from the quints just to get closer to them.

I wonder what the possibility of that Cheetor Listing being meant for Netflix is?

So Walmart somehow screwed up my Netflix order somehow. The order that I placed back in February and pre-paid for still says "delayed" even though I noticed several items have gone out of stock in the past week since the show aired. I used their online contact AI thing to get an email response, but the rep clearly had no idea what was going on, kept telling me to cancel the item and reorder it even though there's seven items in the order. It wasn't until I complained about the service I was getting did he actually make an attempt to do something about it by elevating it to someone above him. I'll post the emails below, you'll be able to easily see why I was so frustrated.

Thank you for contacting Walmart.com

I appreciate you bringing this to our attention so that we can deal with this immediately

Upon checking your account, I found your items, and it appears to be stuck in processing. There are several reasons that this can occur including operational and system issues. At this point, we can actually attempt to cancel the item and you can reorder if you still want it. Please know that we do not wish this kind of issue to happen and we are committed to ensuring that we resolve them for you, I hope you understand. Would you like me to attempt to cancel your order? Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,

Andrew B.
Walmart.com Customer Care

Hi,

Please do not cancel the order. These are mostly sold out online and have been in stores long enough that they don't appear to be getting restocked anymore.

Thank you for your response.

I certainly understand you. As I checked online, the item is now available and can be added to cart. The reason why the order did no go through is due to system operational issues. However, we can cancel the order so you'll got your money release from your bank then you can place the order successfully. Please advise.

The order is for seven items, four of which are showing out of stock on walmart.com and one is being sold by Walmart for $20+ more than the original price. Just to be sure you're looking at order #********** right?

Upon checking, the price are still the same. Please check on this link https://www.walmart.com/ip/Transformers ... /726299451?wmlspartner=FYAGeMjDX6c&=&affs=p&wid=5b6b4213e4b0bcb699adeb9f&u1=&oid=223073.10006940&sourceid=37141976172661509211&affillinktype=3&veh=aff. Please advise.

You don't seem to understand the problem. Yes, that one item out of the seven items in the order is in stock, but four others are sold out and another has been priced way higher than than the normal price. If I cancel the order I'll only be able to order three of the seven items and I'll have to pay MORE to do it.

This item is out of stock: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Transformers ... /343836495?wmlspartner=FYAGeMjDX6c&=&affs=p&wid=5b6b4213e4b0bcb699adeb9f&u1=&oid=223073.10006940&sourceid=37141976172661509211&affillinktype=3&veh=aff

This item is priced by Walmart at $61.57 instead of the normal $39.99: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Transformers ... /100876059?wmlspartner=FYAGeMjDX6c&=&affs=p&wid=5b6b4213e4b0bcb699adeb9f&u1=&oid=223073.10006940&sourceid=37141976172661509211&affillinktype=3&veh=aff

I'm not asking for much, I just want the items that I pre-ordered and pre-paid for. Other people have received these items without paying ahead for them, my order should have been your number one priority before all else instead of jumping through hoops!

I certainly understand you. For the other items, they are currently out of stock from Walmart.com fulfillment center. In that case, we still need to cancel your order so you would get your money back, then once the manufacturer already provide us another stocks you can reorder the item and we will definitely adjust the price if ever it goes higher. We can only adjust the price if the item is sold and shipped by Walmart.com. Please advise.

It really doesn't sound like you're doing anything to fix the problem. Just telling me to cancel my order and re-order the ones that are in stock isn't exactly fixing the problem. It's hard to believe that the biggest retailer in the world can't make this right. I did everything right on my end, not only did I order these the day they were made available in February but I also paid for them up front. People that ordered these last week are getting them, and you're basically telling me "tough luck, maybe next time". Walmart screwed this up and Walmart should be solving the problem, even if it means sourcing them from seven different stores. It feels like there's no communication going on between you and whatever warehouse was supposed to fill this order to keep it from happening again.

If I cancel the order and and then order the 3 in stock items how will you adjust the price on the one that's showing up as $61.57 instead of $39.99 like it should? It says "sold and shipped by Walmart", yet that is definitely not the Walmart price. I can go on Amazon and get it from a scalper for less than that.

I certainly understand your concern. I assure you this will be escalated to the customer resolution team for further review. They have the necessary resources to provide or process anything regarding your concerns. You will receive a response from them promptly. Rest assured there will be an action for this. Thank you for understanding and have a great day!

Should you have questions and any other concerns, please let me know and I'll be happy to assist you.

What a waste of time, they should have escalated it in the first place. I hope I don't have to go through this again in October!

They didn't make much use out of the "Mirage convinces Impactor to join the Autobots" plotline from the Siege fan poll, though. SPOILERS: Mirage was there and juxtaposed with Impactor in some ways, but it was Ratchet who got him to change his attitude, though Impactor still didn't actually switch sides.

Yeah, why did Mirage's hologram glitch out in Decepticon mode but then he was able to hide to space bridge for half an episode?

I went through the same thing in a hour long chat the other night.
I explained one had sold out and the other had doubled in price.
It seemed to fall on deaf ears but i got a promise of an "escalation" as well.
We will see what happens but it makes me regret not calling them out the day it got delayed.
I understand WM doesn't care because they are a retail behemoth but if you have a preorder in place for me to give you money, wouldn't you want to take that money as fast as possible? :BANG_HEAD: :BANG_HEAD: :BANG_HEAD:

Just asking for the sake of curiosity. Did those that pre-order do so, because the walmarts in your area are not well stocked, or perhaps there is no walmart close to your location?

My closest one is doing a reset, and they just got a ton of the Megatron & Hotlink sets in. The rest came and went pretty quick (still a few hounds shelf warming), the Spoiler box was the hardest thing for me to get, despite getting it first. If they had not marked it down in price so quickly after it's release, it probably would still be hanging around.

The reason I ask is, I didn't pre order any of these the first time, and was able to see them all, and get the few ones I wanted, so I figured the 2nd wave would be similar. The only real ones I want are the battle masters from the Optimus set (hopefully can get those on eBay separately), and the spoiler box #2, depending on what it is. If I see a Elita-1 in store, I might get it for my daughter, but it's not a high priority.

I had most of the first wave of the Netflix line pre-ordered as soon as they were announced earlier this year. I ended up buying EVERYTHING from that first wave, including two extra Scrapfaces, with very little difficulty. Scrapface was probably the hardest to find, and I still got three of him. Walmart.com had still not fulfilled my preorders by then, so it was easy to just cancel them. I think we're going to see the second wave in stores again, just like the first, way before the online preorders are fulfilled.

That was my suspicion, but thanks for confirming. For all those who pre-ordered via walmart previously, I'm sorry for all your hassle. I've had recent different issues with them. If you go on their website now it says they have all Earthrise Wave 2 deluxes IN STOCK, but because their website is awful, it's all bogus information. These may be coming to stores soon, but as of this writing, there is no sighting in the continental US.

I figure if I cant find it in the store, then it's just not worth it to deal with a company who truly does not understand the meaning of the phrase "pre-order"

I pre-ordered the Leader and Voyager packs. The Spoiler pack was delayed, but ultimately released just a few weeks later, around the same time it started showing up in stores. The Voyager packs were delayed, then missed their date, and when I called customer service they gave me a new date over the phone. The online order never had the new date, and after it passed, I went to my local store and got them off of the shelf.

The initial round of delays happened right around the time that covid impacts first started hitting retail, so I wrote it off due to that. I don't know how product could be distributed to stores without first going through satisfying online distribution though, and the lack of updates and support doesn't inspire confidence.

If the Earthrise figures I ordered show up locally before mine have shipped, I will definitely buy them off the shelves and cancel the preorders.

My closest one is doing a reset, and they just got a ton of the Megatron & Hotlink sets in. The rest came and went pretty quick (still a few hounds shelf warming), the Spoiler box was the hardest thing for me to get, despite getting it first. If they had not marked it down in price so quickly after it's release, it probably would still be hanging around.

The reason I ask is, I didn't pre order any of these the first time, and was able to see them all, and get the few ones I wanted, so I figured the 2nd wave would be similar. The only real ones I want are the battle masters from the Optimus set (hopefully can get those on eBay separately), and the spoiler box #2, depending on what it is. If I see a Elita-1 in store, I might get it for my daughter, but it's not a high priority.

This here was almost my exact same experience, except I only got two Scrapfaces total since I had a single Refraktor to go with them. Having Scrapfaces on the outside ends give the camera mode some nice flare.

In my case neither of my two local stores got the 35th Ann. line in (while other people had them shelf warming their stores) so I had no reason to trust that my stores would be getting this line in and pre-ordered them as soon as they were announced. And because I used PayPal Credit which pays upfront (interest free if I paid them off in six months) they were completely paid for so I thought I was locked in and had no reason to try to pick any up in stores (though I did pick up two Scrapfaces, but I still need a third). My local stores are mostly sold out now so all I can do is hope Walmart really does fulfill my order. Still haven't heard from anyone since the issue was "escalated".

Once more Tonton has come through with some new reviews of ER Netflix Elita-1 and Bumblebee.

Elita-1:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vDr_MOmIY0

Bumblebee:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXWWbEj2Fy4

With Elita-1 one being a retool of the yet to be released ER Arcee and Bumblebee being a retool of ER Cliffjumper. Both figures are Walmart exclusives (in the US) and are expected to be released in fall 2020. Will you be picking up these figures to add to your collection?

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron users, blackeyedprime and LinaNui, has shared the news with us that YouTube toy reviewer, TonTon Reviews has uploaded new video reviews for the forthcoming Transformers Netflix War for Cybertron Deluxe Class toys, Bumblebee and Elita 1! Bumblebee is a retool of the previously released Deluxe Class Cliffjumper that was released for Earthrise wave 1. Elita 1 is a retool of Transformers Earthrise Wave 2 Deluxe Class Arcee. Neither features the extensive battle damage seen on recent Netflix Siege figures as all current evidence points to both of these getting a release only in the Walmart exclusive Netflix subline. This is the same situation as Voyager Earth Mode Soundwave.

We've embedded the reviews below for your convenience.

Bumblebee



Elita 1



What do you think of these? Will you be replacing your current Bee or Elita 1 with these? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

I'm going to try and get that Bee... That's the best version so far imo.

Kinda sucks that even the Netflix show bee has the spare wheel on his back but not the figure. Just finished the show and amazed at scrap faces screen time...

Impactor seems like another figure that could have been replaced if they had used the already existing decepticon impactor figures head/paint scheme in the show.

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron users, Tuned Agent and Thundertron, has let us know that fellow Seibertron user and YouTube toy reviewer, PrimeVsPrime, has uploaded a new video review, this time, it's Netflix Transformers War for Cybertron Deluxe Class Impactors turn in front of the camera!

Impactor is part of the second wave of Deluxes for the Netflix War for Cybertron figures, making this the third use of the Impactor mold. He doesn't use the IDW head sculpt he has in the Amazon exclusive three pack.

We have embedded the review for your convenience below:

Really liking the Netflix version of Impactor

Will definitely be adding that to the collection!

Doesn't bother me as much now as when we first saw it. There's just enough of that canned peas green in his upper half and yellow in his legs to like the balance. I almost wish they didn't paint his hands.

Shame they gave him an Autobot symbol, that sure isn't cartoon accurate.

Having N Chromia, I finally tried the mold.
I am angry and happy at the same time. Happy because she look DAMN good compared to the regular version. I can see why the combiner gimmick was removed. The bot and vehicle modes are much sleeker. Plus the transformation have some unexpected twists like the rotating wheel kibbles on her legs.

I'm mostly angry about two specific things. What's up with her obsession at removing her panties and going commando at any times randomly? This is annoying. STAY DECENT, GIRL! Second, her gun. It didn't had to separate in multiple tidbits that barely hold together.

Overall, I'm still glad I hav her. Too bad they never made an Arcee out of that mold.

I'm just not that excited about these figures. Already have Wheeljack and just need Bee.
Does anyone know if Elitas backpack is removable? Reminds me of a homeless cybertronian.
The impactor paint job is nice, I may just have to grab a 2nd figure.
Please fill me in on this line but other than the Netflix line, do these figures have better paint apps? Thanks and take care my fellow cybertronians
