Fort Max out of stock.

I just had For Max in the cart and was just about to get him and then blam their all out in a matter of seconds.

Why are figures so darn expensive does no one get that more people are willing to buy stuff when it doesn't cost one their darn grocery's and other necessities?

I'm sure plenty of people bought it at the retail price. Some people are impatient. Others don't want to take the risk of these things going out of stock and then having to pay inflated after market prices.

Then there's us... the bargain hunters.

Still $100 at TFsource and maybe Amazon?

It does make me wonder. Was there that many Fort Max's still in stock that these stores were desperate to unload?

Well, Soundwave at least is already 'out of stock' on HTS. Still, it is wise to check periodically. HTS has a weird habit of putting an item up, and the item is immediately out of stock. And only after a day or so does it ACTUALLY become available.

I almost bought Soundwave last night, but before he came in stock I spent $200 on myself and Christmas presents. and then he's gone 8-}

Why would you get it from the states if you are in canada? Do you have a buddy it would ship to what you go visit regularly by car? Because if not then it would not been a deal at all. Shipping to Canada would have been an easy $50-70 USD, making the product the same as if you bought it from amazon.ca yesterday: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... ada/36818/

Because it's expensive to manufacture in terms of both materials and labor, and as a large item it costs a lot to ship to the warehouse, and every step along the way from the factory to your house requires someone to get paid. So an item that costs ~$40 in materials ends up with a retail price of $150 to cover all those costs. When they sell it at $75, they're barely scraping a profit from it, or maybe they're even selling it at a loss (relative to how much it costs them to stock) to clear space.

Ordered mine yesterday and got it in today.

Pays to be patient though I doubt I'll be all that patient with Trypticon if he's done right. Ft Maxx and Metroplex I waited till they were on sale. But Tryp he'll likely be a day one pre-order.

Absolutely no friggin' clue what gimmick that could be though. Then again, not like the name Titans Return would immediately make you think Headmasters.

From the Machinima Combiner Wars thread, since we got news on two more Prime Wars machinima instalments.

All my stores only had wave 1 stuff. I have yet to see wave 2 stuff in the wild, and the stuff that the stores had in the back to restock... was all wave 1.

This is really odd to me. How one area of the states could be completely ignored. In canada, everything is pretty much equal. The warehouse gets a shipment, it is divided up in weighted averages to stores across the country and sends it out. Specific areas or stores are rarely ignored.

Hasbro evidently shipped out ALL of their wave 2 stock, so the problem lies not with them. And Apeface has been readily available in my area for a few weeks now. Where do you live? Have you checked your sightings forum?

Thanks for telling me about the shipping.

My previous comment was just me upset and tired in the early morning for not picking him up.

Posted by william-james88 on November 30th, 2016 @ 9:46am CST

With wave 3 hitting US retail, we are realizing that this is happening before Titans Return Soundwave, who is from wave 2, has been found at any brick and mortar retail store. What is odd is that we know he has hit US retail since he is readily available on Amazon.com (ship and sold by Amazon) for 44.80. So, just in case some of you were looking for this toy and thinking he had not hit retail yet, you can get him on Amazon.

But you can get him Prime with free shipping whereas BBTS you have to pay for shipping. Store is luck-based.

This Leader class Soundwave is a pass (the cassettes to). FOC's Voyager version is still my go to Soundwave with Classics G1 reissue as my second.

The OP that turns into a flying Pringle's can is a pass but I'm still hopeful for Octane and the Takara version of the new Meg's is a possibility "IF" his paint job is more G1 accurate and no cheap @ss stickers. Blitzwing isn't that much of a priority since the Thrilling 30's version still fits the bill.

I'll just throw out my wild Power of the Primes prediction:

13 Primes? Maybe. But I'm half-expecting some kind of updated Cyber-Key functionality where you can plug a Matrix into different characters and Matrix "upgrades" for more characters.

Bumblebee had a couple of later identities alluded to in Devastation. Maybe he gets the "Matrix of Speed" and becomes Race Welder.

Rodimus could be up for a new Rodimus Prime.

But my guess is that the new gimmick is that a ton of other Matrices are discovered and almost everybody gets a Matrix and becomes a Prime.

I think I saw Soundwave last time I was at Target but I can't be sure. If he's still there next time I'll snap a picture. Speaking of which, Target is actually becoming reliable again for Generations with TR(after sitting on Wave 4 of CW for several months). As far as I know it's the only place around here that stocks every mainline class.

Many of us are fairly certain Takara will not be releasing Blitzwing as Megatron just like they did not release Astrotrain as Sentinel Prime. Some of us are completely certain Takara will not be releasing Blitzwing as Megatron. Takara just doesn't do that. They don't need to because they don't have standard pricing like Hasbro does so they don't need to release multiple versions of the same mold. Your best bet will be Reprolabels releasing a sticker set to correct Hasbro's sticker issues. :PEACE:

He's due out in January, 2017 according to BBTS. I pre-ordered early for like $45.99 as opposed to the 54.99 they currently have him for. The Triple changers are the initial reason for these molds. OP, Meg's and Sentinel are clearly pre-molds released early to get more bang for their (HasTak) buck.

Hi, new face around here posting for the first time! Went to check a Big W (an Australian department store chain) in my area - Port Macquarie, about 600 miles from the previous sighting - and found the Wave 3 Deluxes sitting there all deliciously! Nabbed Hot Rod, Triggerhappy and Twinferno, though I'm holding myself back 'til Christmas on opening them. Hopefully they'll be all the sweeter for the wait - and I hope they start turning up in less-remote areas soon too, for everyone else's sake!

He's due out in January, 2017 according to BBTS. I pre-ordered early for like $45.99 as opposed to the 54.99 they currently have him for. The Triple changers are the sole reason for these molds. OP, Meg's and Sentinel are clearly pre-molds released early to get more bang for their (HasTak) buck.
Reread what you bolded. That is not Sentinel Prime.

It sound like I misunderstood which bots he saying aren't going to be released but who says they're not releasing a Transformers Legends Sentinel Prime eventually? Takara releases more repaints than you both a willing to give them credit for (especially with Voyager class). 1 new mold out of 4 Deluxe "United Warriors" per wave does not win that argument. Takara to me is known for correcting Hasbro's cheap shortcuts when they make their versions. They don't ignore them completely. Which is why I'm sure they'll eventually make Prime and Meg's at least.

But as far as Megatron goes. Henkei Megatron is still my go to Megatron

Guess we'll see if that changes.

What we're saying is that TakaraTomy seems to have a certain aversion for re-releasing molds within the same line. There are exceptions if the character is iconic or desirable enough (Blaster vs. Soundwave), but overall, one release per mold seems to be the initial norm.

Megatron and Optimus Prime already have a representation or look-a-like in the line (Galvatron's Headmaster, Super Ginrai), so those uses are easily skipped for main retail. Exclusives are a different story, however Infinitus is seeing use in other figures (Convobat, Leo Prime), rendering the chance of a proper Japanese Sentinel Prime relatively slim.
