Same, I found part of the wave at Toys R Us 2 days ago and the whole wave at Target. Only really wanted Soundwave since I was buying a bunch of Lego Star Wars stuff too, but I got to pick between two and one had a much better paint job than the other.

Sadly, no Bludgeon yet, have to wait a wave.
I'm gonna wait for the battlemask Windblade to be redecoed.

To be fair, that was on a local sightings thread;I hadn't seen it reported as front page news, so I sent an email with the picture to news at seibertron.com in addition to reporting it on my local thread and noting it in the Toy Sightings thing at the bottom of the main page.

So I feel pairing Sideswipe and Soundwave Activator Combiners would have made better sense for a market like Europe.
Likewise the Optimus & Luna Strongarm would have been better released with Skyhammer.
I'm rather irritated by the missing Warrior Wave with Bisk & Ratchet
& Scatterspike in it - as well as how hard it is to get Legion Blurr and Legion Bisk too.
But the rumour is a lot of stuff is due to land on or around the 24th April. (Strange date) I'd think they'd want them out for Easter Saturday or Monday or before Good Friday even.
--
But on a positive note for those lamenting how small Megatronus was Wei Jiang is doing a overscale version of the Warrior Class soon :
http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/attachmen ... .27706401/
(Behind the Combiner Wars stuff) A nice complement to the existing RID overscale Grimlock and Optimus too).
They usually get made in Plastic and part Metal versions too.
I hope they make Bludgeon too and that he's not all on his own - as Thunderhoof, Scatterspike or Quillfire would be great bigger too - Heck even Windblade might be nice in a bigger scale too !

Oh I've seen them available. but with virtually no word on Skyhammer online or in the US, it was surprising to randomly google and find him. He arrives tomorrow

That's not how you use FYI. You mean BTW.
But yeah, I gave up on the email notifications a long time ago. Much easier to just come to the forum and click on the buttons to see the latest posts. There's two ways to do this: 1) on the main forum next to the title of the topic there's a little orange box that will take you right to the first unviewed post. 2) Within the topic there's a button next to the page count that'll do the same thing.

Subscriptions tend to fall off sometimes. It happens to all of us. I've inquired as to why, and there has been no clear cut answer. I've found the easiest way to reactivate a preexisting subscription is to simply visit the thread. You don't even have to post.Emerje wrote:chuckdawg1999 wrote:FYI, anybody else not getting updates to this thread?

Might become the next minicon wave 1 and 2.
But I honestly recommend them. I have Primestrong and Skyhammer arrives tomorrow. Primestrong is really fun and Skyhammer looks boss

I thought that Canadian and US dollars were of similar value.
But even for 15$ I think most people would choose a deluxe or something from one of the other lines.

Five Below is selling the first Mini-Con 4-pack consisting of:
- Blizzard Strike Swelter
- Scorch Strike Beastbox
- Blizzard Strike Backtrack
- Scorch Striek Undertone
... for the low price of $5!
These were found at Preston Village in Frisco, TX, just off TX121/Sam Rayburn Tollway and Preston Road, and they had plenty in stock. Shame they only had one particular 4-pack, wish they had the second one too.
And yes, I did get one

Isn't that supposed to be part of the second wave of Activators with Soundwave?

No, those toys arent synched with other waves. Sideswipe is already out in places, like canada. Soundwave will come after.

Same thing applies to Sideswipe and Soundwave Activator Combiners too - Though there should be some Sideswipes in with Soundwave's release anyway - but the problem seem to be with "to many Bumblebees" they just sit there unsold - so anything that over supplies AC Bumblebee again is a really bad idea if they don't hurry up and get Sideswipe out more places and Soundwave out then they won't have time to get around to Optimus before the line dies.
But with no replacement Cartoon in sight they may as well keep making RID short seasons and keep the toyline ticking over well into 2018 or beyond. Heck they really ought to be making some Rescue Bots Cartoon specials as well.

Maybe he can rest on warrior soundwave and I can just toss the unarticulated soundwave in a box.

That unarticulated Soundwave has articulated elbows!!kurthy wrote:I can just toss the unarticulated soundwave in a box.
Seriously though..any additional articulation? Sideways/rotating shoulders? Knees? ANYTHING ELSE?!

How about you buy that unarticulated soundwave and trade it with your kid for the warrior soundwave (and keep the laserbeak).

I saw him at Walmart the other day when I picked up Soundwave, and I was soooooooo close to buying him. Let's hope I don't regret it later.

Why not just buy him now? I know we arent made of money but he wasnt that expensive right?I mean when comparing to the MSRP of some TLK figures that are partly just redecos of older figs, Hasbro gives us this nice new mold of Blurr which is the first retail release of an articulated Rescue Bots character for a nice affordable price point. I say jump on it I know I will if I find him.
Glad you picked up Soundwave
