Ah, Quickslinger (Slingshot) and Brake-Neck (Wildrider), you've finally come along to G1-ify our Superions and Menasors.

First, it was Amazon!

Then, it was Walmart!

And now both BBTS and TFSource get their listings out there for all to shop! (It should also be noted that they both played by the rules and followed the street date of 5/22 (AKA May Mayhem) while Amazon and Walmart did not.)

Up first, the BBTS listings for Brake-Neck and Quickslinger:

Brake-Neck

Quickslinger

You'll notice that they're both currently sold out, but don't panic. A quick read of either figure's sales page will bring you to this very important disclaimer that you must read and follow in order to receive your much needed figures.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to an extremely limited supply from Hasbro, we are enforcing a strict limit of ONE PIECE PER PERSON on this item. We realize the site will allow you to check out with more than one piece, we kindly ask that you order only 1 piece. Orders for more than 1 piece will be delayed, manually reduced, and refunded. Please help us make this process smooth by ordering only one piece.

Please also note that we will be releasing inventory in two waves. The first wave at 12:00 Midnight Eastern Standard Time and the second wave at 10:00 AM Eastern Standard Time on 5/22.

So, as you can see, one per of each figure and the second wave will be available later this morning at 10:00 AM EST/7:00 AM PST

And now for the TFSource listings, both of which are preorders and neither figure is currently in stock at the current time, but are expected on 5/25 and are on their way to the warehouse as we speak.

http://tfsource.com/combiner-wars-web-exclusives/

They also have a disclaimer which must be read, quoted below

Now up for preorder - Combiner Wars Quickslinger & Brake-Neck! Order yours here: http://tfsource.com/combiner-wars-web-exclusives/
These are en route to the warehouse and instock next week,we have a limited amount of each, strict limit of 2 pieces per customer, while supplies last!

Target and TRU also have them available. (NOTE: They have no restrictions mentioned, so apparently there are no limitations as to how many you can order at a time.)

With BBTS already sold out on one wave, the second surely to sell out, and TFSource also receiving a small amount, now's the time to preorder or start button mashing asap. Even more so if you're an Australian collector, since it's been confirmed that they will not receive distribution in Australia, sadly.

While you're waiting for your order/preorder to be filled, check out our galleries of these two new Combiner Wars additions by clicking on Quickslinger and Brake-Neck's names.

I'm gonna be that guy, cause it's buggin me.

Mirgae's holograms? No. That would be Hound, who wasn't part of that combiner. Mirage was, and his "power" is invisibility.

Besides Mirage's invisibility, he can actually change how he appears, albeit in limited duration. Mirage aka Dragstrip (re-watch the show Masquerade again) and you'll hear Mirage state so...about maintaining the Menasor head.

I always took Mirage's Line "and I can hold this phoney face" to be a thinly veiled complaint abou having to look like Dragstrip, as there was never any other insinuation that his power was anything other than just invisibility.

Got mine from Target as well. Glad I saw this article this morning, I usually miss out like when they appeared on Wal-Mart's site. Question though, are all signs pointing toward these classic limb bots being only available online? If not, at least this saved me the gas money trying to drive around and looking for them, like the wave two deluxes... Still cannot find any and someone found wave 3 deluxes in my area already.

Because this is a limited release I went with Target. 5% off and free shipping. Not as good as what might be available from HTS in a month or two, but there's still a chance HTS won't get any stock if us collectors move on it quickly through everyone else. And even if HTS does get Quickslinger, it will probably sell out instantly. Still hope I can get Ultra Magnus via a good sale through HTS this summer. Although I might go with Target for that, too.

While you are technically correct, tf wiki describes it as "mirages illusion powers" in their description of the episode "masquerade". Thats where I got my info from totally forgot hounds hollograms. If it bothers you here that much, e-mail tfwiki and tell em to change it.

Quickslinger and Brake-Neck are internet exclusives for major stores as well as available via Diamond to comic book and collector stores as they purchase product through them. But I'd expect markups at those places.

An illusion isn't specifically the same thing as a hologram.

Okay, the nerd in me needs to clarify:

I realize BBTS said 10 AM EST, but they mean 10 AM EDT. That's what happened last night, they went live 12 AM EDT. I'd hate for someone to miss out by being off by an hour. :-B

If anyone tried to get them from BBTS last night...man was the website slow. I thought it was going to crash and it took 3 tries to get through an order for (1) Quickslinger. Now I'm sorry I stayed up and even bothered as I just ordered a complete set of the 2 for $36.10 from Target when Quickslinger alone cost me almost $25 shipped from BBTS. I also got (1) Brake-neck from Walmart that's coming site to store. Funny how the tax on site to store shipping is less then if I had purchased directly from store. All together I spent roughly $75 bucks for (2) complete sets...works for me. I just have to play the waiting game now. :BANG_HEAD:

BBTS's site is being a it funky with the listings. One refresh, they're available, the next they're sold out, a few later, available again. Needless to say, I helped myself to one each. If they refund it so I can wait until 10, that's fine. I'll try again then.

Just wondering, there was that statement about Brakeneck and Quickslinger not being made available in Australia. But what about the rest of the world? So far, the distribution of these two toys is only in the states and if you want to purchase them, you have to buy them from a US website and pay the international shipping. I don't see how australia differs from the rest of the world in that way or how any non american has a greater advantage in getting these than an Australian.
These are not available in Canada either on toysrus' website or Walmart's so I am wondering if that's the case with every other walmart and toysrus site in the world.

So I tried to buy Brake-Neck promptly at 10:00am and as I attempted to process the order it gave me an error and told me to try again.

I made it through the entire process during my second attempt and before everything was all fine and dandy, I saw that my account was now charged for 2 Brake-Necks instead of one. Not sure how that happened but I immediately contacted support and let them know that I only wanted one figure.

I hope they can manage it quickly before they all officially sell out but I'm glad to see the figure is so readily available in other places.

Just curious, are you buying from BBTS because you are outside the US? Because it seems Target and Toysrus dont give much of a headache.

The TF wiki page actually highlights this about 2 thirds of the way down the page in the Continuity Notessection:
Mirage can project a hologram of Menasor's face. This runs contrary to his usual schtick, which is invisibility. His original bio described him as being able to create "the illusion of a different appearance" for up to six minutes, but this is the only time it pops up in the cartoon (presumably because holograms were Hound's gimmick... though per the bio, Hound's great power is to create maps, and simple images on rare occasions.)

That was fast. Still, no free shipping, and I have no reason to spend $50 right now. If Ultra Magnus was available that might have worked, but alas, no Magnus yet. At least Target should have Quickslinger shipped to me by June 1. :DANCE:

When I went on BBTS last night and found out they were already sold out, I didn't take a chance with trying to get one at 10AM. I ended up getting them from Entertainment Earth.

I prefer BBTS, but I felt like they kind of dropped the ball on this one by not offering preorders, so they lost a sale in this case. No big deal though.

I believe that due to the special release for these, they were barred from offering pre-orders. Don't blame them if they are just following the rules they were told.

Ah, I didn't realize that they were barred from offering pre-orders. That makes sense. Anyways, they only lost a sale in this case, not my overall business. Like I said, no big deal.

I ordered these two plus Combiner Wars Voyager Class Cyclonus along with a few others. I qualified for free shipping and used the promo code "Memorial15" to get an additional 15% off.

I made it through the entire process during my second attempt and before everything was all fine and dandy, I saw that my account was now charged for 2 Brake-Necks instead of one. Not sure how that happened but I immediately contacted support and let them know that I only wanted one figure.

I hope they can manage it quickly before they all officially sell out but I'm glad to see the figure is so readily available in other places.

Just curious, are you buying from BBTS because you are outside the US? Because it seems Target and Toysrus dont give much of a headache.

Nope. But I've already got a stack of other items on BBTS that are going to release next month and I'd rather save on the shipping versus having it in my hands right now.

Besides, I'm still waiting on BSC-01 Lonewolf to release so I can afford to wait a bit.

UPDATE: BBTS reached out to me and has taken care of the error. Apparently, I'm not the only "victim" of this issue but they're going through all of the accounts to resolve them if not communicated directly through support.

Now HotSpot is up on HTS as well, and apparently it is shipping in one business day (http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/transforme ... 6&ID=33967)

Viper and Warpath just went up as well, but they won't ship until 6/15

I hope the rest of Defensor shows up soon. My local stores are way behind, I just recently saw Silverbolt.

Fellow Seibertronians reluctantyouth and LongHaulLaser have brought to our attention a slew of new Transformers figures now available on Hasbrotoyshop.com.

We first learnt that the highly sought after Brakeneck and Quickslinger were available as well as Combiner Wars Cyclonus.

We then received this message from LongHaulLaser:

Please note that while there is currently the Memorial15 promo code for 15% off an order and free shipping over 50$, it may not be eligible for the online exclusive Combiner Wars figures.

As of 3:48 pm EST, BBTS is listing Quickslinger and Brake-neck as in stock.

Some replies that I've read here. Are stating BBTS keeps updating with, out of stock and in stock.

Might be that clearing up of duplicate orders or people who order more than one. Based on how far we are into the day, I imagine most will have their chance to get these guys.

Yes, but he and his size class have their own thread for them.

Yes doesn't do my level of excitement justice. I loves me some UM! I'm also one of the crazy ones who likes him in a nice shade of baby blue.

Me likes some baby blue UM too!

Looks like Magnus is probably one of the best Generations figures yet!

And Sabrblade, I know that, but this is Combiner Wars.

Right, but the mods felt the Leader class toys were distinctive enough from the rest of the actual combining toys to warrant their own separate thread for discussion pertaining to them.

Just trying to help us play by the rules. :PEACE:
