Transformers Earthrise Deluxe Wave 3 Found in Canada along with Bluestreak and Tigertrack

Here, I was able to take some pics showing how the different shared of yellow on sunstreaker looks like in person.

Still haven't seen wave 1; nothing but the Netflix figures up here.

Ordered Bluestreak a week ago from Walgreen's. The rest of my order arrived (filled out the order with some stuff I needed and made it to free shipping), but Bluestreak did not. Tracking says shipment info sent to FedEx and nothing after that.

So I called Walgreen's CS today. Bluestreak is out of stock, and they are not receiving any more.

If you want it, in-store would seem to be your best bet (and if you see two, I'll gladly pay you to ship it to me).

I just received a shipping update from Amazon that the Prowl and Ironhide 2-pack, which they had told me was arriving today, has been pushed back to November 20 - December 4. WTF, Amazon!? You did this with the Ratchet and Lifeline set too! Don't get my hopes up like that!

Must be out of stock at the moment. I literally just had UPS at the door dropping mine off.

I just got a similar one for Runamuk. Prowl/Ironhide is supposed to arrive today, hope Prowl has all his wheels.

You and me both. What has me irritated is they waited until today instead of informing us Monday like they did others.

wow seems like the Datsuns are having issues. I've heard from a couple people that the clear plastic connection for Bluestreak's hood has snapped off. Both Prowl & Bluestreak being exclusives this should NOT happen.

In fact, I saw someone do a breakdown showing that more than 40% (basically 4 of every 10 toys), of the ER line are exclusive in one way or another, that is extremely discouraging if this is the way things are going. At least in Japan, if things are exclusive, it's only to one source (TT Mall). This hunt to get things you can only find on Pulse, Amazon, Target, Walmart, Walgreens... Where will it end? Also I know many who live in other parts of the world don't even have much of an option except to pay over inflated scalper prices. I can't imagine how frustrating that is.

I don't mind exclusives, but there needs to be enough stock. Bluestreak was barely in-stock, so if one gets lost or broken, you're screwed.

And as an aside, I checked eBay. I'm sure you'll all be shocked to learn that there are plenty of Bluestreaks to go around (including one person selling a lot of five of them).

I have some hope that Amazon will get more Prowl/Ironhide. Seems like they still have enough stock of some of their previous exclusives. If not, I might try picking up a Siege Prowl to do a head swap and harvest a wheel (and paint it black).

Yeah, I am fortunate to have Many Walgreens near by. There was 4 of them in my closest store when I checked last weeked, so I got the one to gift to someone, and left the others. Hopefully they weren't scalped.

I have at least one Walgreen's in a reasonable driving distance. I've got some things to do tomorrow anyway, so I might run up and check in-store before resorting to eBay. I really don't want to reward those people for what they do.

And just as a point of information, Amazon is now in its extended return period (through January 31) for the holidays. So if you have a problem like I've got with Prowl's missing wheel, and it's currently out of stock, you can keep an eye out to see if it gets restocked.

...which actually doesn't make sense in this case, but you get the idea.

I knew my luck with Amazon would run out...
I hope I get my order, even if it is 3 weeks later than expected.
Also, I don’t have a ton of hope that I’ll find Bluestreak.

Just got my prowl ironhide two pack from Amazon and the shipping label was on the box and was torn up on the top of the box but the figures were ok

Anyone done a headlight upgrade kit for the Datsun mold yet?

Part of me wants to suggest anyone who hasn't gotten their Prowl-Ironhide 2-pack yet cancel it and hope Hasbro gives Prowl (IMO the only worthwhile figure in the pack, Ironhide is "meh") a real release at a later date.

Gaping hole in mine. Wtf Amazon.

At least you guys got yours.

You got me there.

I noticed that Ironhide's shield had some unused slots... and oddly they fit the Datsun shoulder-cannons (seen here with Bluestreak's). Judging by photos of Ratchet, it seems that Prowl's lightbar was retooled to have these two tabs. But this could allows for some interesting display options to those of you with extra shoulder-cannons (or Siege Datsuns) lying around.

Overall I like the Two-pack, Ironhide somehow feels different from Siege Ironhide and Prowl's roof holds together better than Bluestreak's. Obviously the biggest issue with Ironhide is the shield, I really don't know what to do with it in robot mode. Not sure why Ironhide has had large, cumbersome weapons that impossible to hold reasonably.

I thankfully didn't get too major of a QA issue on Prowl besides a part of the hood being chipped off. Personally I wish Prowl came with some toy-inspired shoulder-cannons (chunky rockets). I skipped out on the Siege Datsuns because they just looked bad to me, so I'm glad there's ER versions.

If you're displaying them in robot mode, you can give the shield and Siege's cannon to someone else. I gave the cannon to Ultra Magnus, it looks better with him because he's bigger, and Ironhide got his guns. Maybe give his shield to a combiner, or a voyager figure? I intend to give the shield to either Siege Ironhide or PoTP Inferno. If my 2-pack actually shows up.

Got Fasttrack today. I really love how each Modulator becomes more solid in its design. I was worried about looseness, but Fasttrack holds amazingly well together, even in the spear mode. My only regret is I wish there was some way to actually peg it into Scorponok's claw instead of just hanging loosely.

I've seem some floppiness on those who got Black Roritchi early and reviewed it. I hope the one I get does not suffer the curse of many other selects releases.

Also the Fossilizers have a high bar set after the Weaponizers and Modulators have been designed so well. I only hope they are as stable and hold together well.

You'd be much better off swapping a wheel from Smokescreen.

Yeah, my Ironhide/Prowl set got delayed to Nov. 23 to Dec. 4. Well, there's still a better chance of Amazon fulfilling their delayed figures than, say, Walmart or even Target. I did get Fasttrack and Runamuck from Target yesterday (haven't opened them yet) and Tigertracks is supposed to arrive from Pulse today so I'm not hurting for new things.

Might do, would be easier. But then I wouldn't be able to head-swap so...six of one, half dozen of the other, I guess.

Point of note, Siege Prowl's wheels go the opposite direction from ER. The peg is on the wheel and slots into a spot on the shoulder instead of being hollow and slotting onto a spoke.

I got an extra Prowl for 5 bucks to do my head swap. Sorry about your wheel.

Eh, it happens. I'd just be less frustrated if I could send it back to Amazon for a new one.

How does Prowl look with the head swap? I'm not definitely committed to doing it, but I might keep an eye out if it looks worth the effort.

I posted it a couple pages back as well as in the customizations thread. Shouldn't be too far back. Don't want to spam.

Not a problem. I can go take a look.

Can someone drop in a direct link to that thread? I'm planning to do this customization and want to make sure I don't damage the head. I've read it's a tight fit and don't want to apply force if I should split it open and re-glue instead.

I got my two-pack yesterday and I enjoy Ironhide a lot more than I thought I would. I'm grumpy about the feet sticking out of the back, but it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I don't mind the shield either, I just stick it on his back. They made a lot of compromises working from the Siege base, but they're not disqualifying. Honestly, turning parts-forming into a neat play feature is the greatest trick the devil ever pulled.

It's a tight fit, but it fits. No need to split anything. I had more trouble getting the Eartrise head off than getting the Siege head on.

Still on the last page -

Happened to me too. What really gets me is all the people who got theirs just to sell them on eBay. Those sets could've gone to people who really wanted them, like us.

Wave 3? I'm still waiting for Wave 2 for Smokescreen.

Guess I gotta pick him up at the comic store instead...

Earthrise datsun confession time: After complaining how hollow and ugly the legs looked in the original photos and reveals when Hasbro forgot to put the flaps down; I just looked over at Smokescreen and Prowl on my self and yep, I forgot to put the flaps down.

And they're packed like that anyway, which confuses me when doing the first transformation.

Currently loving and hating that flap. Smokescreen is fine but Bluestreak has a slightly loose flap on the right foot that occasionally pops off during transformation. I get why Hasbro made them but I also don't mind the hollowness and wouldn't mind them not existing.

I saw wave 2 once last week here in town, and the only one left is Airwave. I'm glad I picked up Arcee now, I have a feeling I won't be seeing anymore ER deluxes from later waves anytime soon. I also stopped at Ross and found some Siege Ultra Magnus toys and 1 Siege Astrotrain for $18. I'm tempted to get that Astrotrain, even though I don't care for the colors or the extra kibble.

Is it just me, or do they not make that big of a difference?

For $18 you can use the money you save to buy paint if that's your thing, you can also sell the extra bits online. $18 for a leader is a steal.

I don't think they do. Some poses make it so the flaps don't cover much at all.


Does anyone here who owns ER Prime also own the little Thrilling 30 Prime? I'm wondering if that Prime is small enough to fit in ER Prime's trailer? I'm hoping Kingdom Prime is but I'm also tempted to get the T30 if he fits but only if he fits.

Yep, CW Pipes does (same mold). Too tall with the gun pegged in though

Nice, thanks!

After the shenanigans with the Paradron Pack, I didn't believe Amazon about the Autobot clones. Then I woke up this morning with shipping confirmation and my account charged. Nice!

This almost makes up for my Prowl/Ironhide combo being pushed back. Almost.

I just got Runamuck from Amazon. The fucking UPS driver threw him at my front door. He then ran back to his truck and drove off before I made it outside to yell at him. At least there was no damage to the box or the figure.

Anyone know why they keep switching the names Bluestreak to Silverstreak and vice-versa?

Anyway, I love that figure and it's different enough from the Siege version.





I'm surprised to see the Siege being bigger than the ER. It's hard to tell from the pictures but it shows. The ER is also 3 grams lighter than the Siege.

Most likely a scale thing rather than budget cuts I guess.
