Transformers Generations Legends Class 2016 Wave 1 Available on Hasbro Toy Shop

Yeah, got my chopshop, shockwave, and warrior fracture ordered, I love it when they get new stock in around a holiday and you can stack benefits (stunticons around easter (20%+free shipping), protectobots around 4th of July (15%+free shipping), (though I got them earlier) the '84 'bot's and others now (20%+free shipping)...)

Nice to see these guys coming out. Looking forward to getting Wave!

Snagged Shockwave for $8! Goodbye, $13 BBTS preorder!

Yup! Jumped on that bus as it drove by.
Got RID fracture too.


@WJ88 - Guess I was wrong about no new purchases til after the holidays. Can't beat that deal.

Yeah, bbts hasn't even got a pre-order up for fracture, but hts has them in stock already... nothing about their distribution makes any sense anymore - the one thing that always seemed to stay the same was that hts got 'em last , same goes for the legends figures, maybe they wanted to push them for the holidays, or something? Doesn't matter it's an infinitely better deal than anything through bbts or the like

I am glad to see everyone is getting good deals, but no need to diss BBTS. We always knew those guys were never about the price. Most big retailers have discounts on TFs all the time anyways (and I just get a raincheck so that I get the upcoming figures for cheap) which usually makes BBTS the pricier place. BBTS was never about the price. They are there because some collectors dont want to worry about getting their figure. Some dont check this site every day anyways and if they check it a week from today then this news wont help them. BBTS is there so that you can avoid the distribution hassle, get help if there is anything wrong with your figure and for some ensure that the box has a particular grade.

I see a ven diagram in my head of which kinds of fans order from which places, but I am too tired now. The point is as long as you are happy, no need to diss other retailers.

Sorry about that. I didn't mean to insult, I was just glad to get a good price.

For the record, I always preorder at BBTS. I have my Onslaught preorder up there right now with some Dragon Ball Z stuff.

Just happened by and saw this post. Got all 3 with the fastest shipping. Wonder what happened to Pipes.

Well, it's more the issue of them raising prices for figures like shockwave, because he is more sought after, they increase his price by $3, same goes for onslaught, $32 and he still sold out;

I don't know if this was to offset the fact that buzzsaw and pipes and (not)scattershot might shelfwarm, but, by that logic, then they could lower their (pipes, et al) by a similar amount to encourage people to buy them too (I would definitely consider tossing pipes in my p.o.l. if he were $7 (-$3 for shockwaves +$3 if this is the case)); or if this is a case of extorting money for a figure that people want, but, if this is the case, it's not cool, and I have every right to not only not buy it through them, but to also diss it. If both of these aren't the case, then I'm not sure what it is.

I think the bottom line is: tf distribution is total chaos, and plays by no ones rules

Dude its fine, I was writing in general, not targeting you specifically. No one did anything wrong here, I just wanted to remind people that the retailers compliment each other to ensure that we get our toys no matter what

Yeah... aren't they shipped as a case in the same box? Maybe they're pulling a rook and won't get him uploaded onto the site until much later

I think this is precisely why they up the price. Eesh, that 32$ is pretty darn steep. And I think you have a damn fine idea there. If something is raised, why not lower the other? It would be cool to see how the MSRP could be deviated from in both directions.

I'm more thinking what happened to Clampdown? That guy isn't there and yet Thunderhoof is

I mean, come on... $33 for onslaught, why not sell scattershot for $7 then, bet he would fly off their virtual shelves then - I'd buy it, and I hate the idea of him... I don't want to, or like dissing them, they have great customer service and fulfill an important role for us, but stuff like this => http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=HAS24821&mode=retail bugs the sh!t outta me - hotspot is still $30 there

Well, this happens with every wave, some of the wave are uploaded, some aren't until later. If clampdown shows up, I'll get him, underbite, and thunderhoof (assuming there aren't two order pages up for him at that time )

And being completely fair about tf retailers, tfsource doesn't even stock or sell the rid figures, so there's that for limiting options

RID Warrior Fracture and the new wave of Deployers are also available, and so I purchased Overload and Fracture along with the three Legends cons.

This means my shipped package is superior to most other forms of holiday purchases...

With those deals, and ahead of other retailers, you bet it is (plus they are 's, so, yeah )

Agh, I need in on this deal. Does HTS ship to the UK? that free shippong might come in handy.

Sorry, free shipping excludes out of country shipping

Is there a hts-uk?

Nope, there used to be many moons ago, but it's long been dead.

Now the hasbro site just tells you in which stores you can (not) find their toys.

Good luck and let us know what you think of these figures on the boards once you get them!

The promotional code works but not the Free Shipping.. help?

Try HOLIDAYFF instead. That gave me 25% off and free shipping

Yeah, I tried that one too. The item discount works but the shipping fee won't go away.

Edit: you have to register with the website for the promotion to work properly. $8.11 shipped.

Well cool cool. I nabbed a couple purple guys!

Thanks for the heads up and I'm a little surprised they were still just hanging around this morning.

this is still only working for the us hasbro online store?
THe uk site still doesn't have them. anyone else?

Susha wrote:this is still only working for the us hasbro online store?

All of this is just for the US store.

FINALLY nabbed a pair of Shockies... One for myself, one for a custom. Shockwave was the last guy I needed from the new wave, and to finally have him and a clone ordered makes me feel all giddy inside.

But at the same time, this was an expense I couldn't really afford...

Chop Shop, Shockwave, 25% off, and free shipping? Merry Christmas to me!

Now if only they had Clampdown, too, then I'd be set.


(EDIT: what the heck happened to HTS? Had to create a new account since it wouldn't allow me to use the old one...)

I am happy to hear this, especially the free shipping on small orders. There is not much that I want besides Chopshop and Shockwave (I am really not interested in Buzzsaw or Pipes) and with HTS high shipping costs, I was afraid I was either going to miss out or just pay far too much for them.

In another note, it appears though that HTS still hasn't fixed their problem with having to do a keyword transformers search to list all the transformers. If you just click on the transformers brand, you get 145 results, if you do a keyword search on 'transformers' you get 160 results including the latest deluxe wave of Sunstreaker, Prowl, Ironhide, and Mirage. I honestly think the previous version of the site worked better, but I guess it wasn't good enough for phone screens.

Grabbed 3 Shockwave's which almost makes Chopshop free after the discount, it's a shame Pipes wasn't available or I would've grabbed him to.

That Buzzsaw figure is crap though.

Anyone else have trouble checking out in Mozilla? I had to switch over to Internet Explorer for the checkout button to work from the cart page.

Did anyone notice that Hasbro (purposely) left off Legends Pipes from this Wave? They tend to do that on a regular basis with newly released waves, especially when there's a special discount deal going on.

I remember them doing it to the Generations Deluxe Class Wave that had Skids in it the first time he was released. I'd ordered the wave anyway (minus Skids) and another figure I'd planned on repainting into another figure just so I'd qualify for free shipping or whatnot. Then after the promotion was over, Generations Deluxe Class Skids finally gets added to the list. Of course to order him would've cost me twice as much as what the figure was being sold for because of having to pay shipping. I didn't order Skids for that reason and it eventually sold out and was even removed from the list. Thankfully Skids was placed into another completely different wave and I was able to get it. But like I said, this leaving off a figure of a new wave from the list tends to happen semi-regularly with www.hasbrotoyshop.com.

Regardless, I placed my order for Legends Class Chop Shop, Buzzsaw, Shockwave, and for Voyager Class Battle Core Optimus Prime. I was going to order Voyager Class Motormaster as well to replace my current one in hopes of getting the new one with the upgraded hips. But didn't want to take a chance at getting one of the first releases, putting me back in the same predicament. My local Wal-Mart doesn't seem to be trying to get in any new stock of the Combiner Wars Voyager Class Figures.

At least it's the mold that's been repainted like 5 times already and doesn't especially fit the character anyways. Still sucks, but not as much as it would if Shockwave had been withheld.

why are people bulk buying shockwaves? buy at sale price, scalp later?

MemphisR56 wrote:why are people bulk buying shockwaves? buy at sale price, scalp later?

Scalping, army building, use for customs, makes a cool gun... I know when viper came out, people on here were buying them 10 at a time, and I missed out, I don't like it much either

Yes, thanks for the tip, Seibertron! Shock was already sold-out in all specialised TF stores and 33% more expensive.

I like those little cartoon figures like Powerglide, they're fun figure to fiddle with.

MemphisR56 wrote:why are people bulk buying shockwaves? buy at sale price, scalp later?

I only bought an extra for a custom... Wouldn'tve been necessary if the Shapeways Targetmaster I ordered a while back for the same project didn't fall apart three days later.

Thanks for the heads up! Saved $ on Leader Skywarp and I am getting him earlier than expected. Got the all the Legends as well. Reading this thread makes me wish I doubled up on Shockwave. Hopefully I catch a second one when this wave hits the stores. Cheers!

would anyone from the states be willing to buy and then sell to me a chop shop through ebay? (Uk)

Susha wrote:would anyone from the states be willing to buy and then sell to me a chop shop through ebay? (Uk)

I thought HTS shipped worldwide, no? You just dont get the free shipping or discount. But the discount would be negated by the fact that there are both e-bay and paypal fees that you would have to pay.

Just received my shipping notification for my Shockwaves! I predict they'll be here before the week's out. Pretty damn excited!

nope, and I only found out after i clicked the link, and was all happy about the 9.99$ compared to the usual 9-12 £. meh

The shipping would kill you though. Shipping from US to UK comes out to the same as just buying it at 9-12 pounds. I live in canada and so far, the shipping has never ever made it worthwhile to do this type of thing. I am gonna wait to find him in stores. Its too bad Kapow toys doesnt sell these individually. By the way, speaking of UK, this is a pretty great deal for an amazing figure: http://www.kapowtoys.co.uk/transformers ... prime.html

surprised its in stock

Trying to order Leader Starscream, Warrior Blue Optimus, and Legends Shockwave. Anybody having trouble checking out? I'm in my cart, and I press the checkout button, but it just changes color and leaves me there. FWIW I'm on my phone.

I wouldn't say it's optimized for PC either

I want to say someone else was having issues with not being signed in. I've placed mobile orders before and it was a bit of a pain though. I use chrome on both and I have my ad blockers disabled for HTS if that helps any.

Death can be impatient! But no need for it this time - HasbroToyShop says they've shipped the Legends figures (Shockwave, Chopshop & Buzzsaw) that were ordered yesterday. That means they could well arrive before BBTS gets the Combaticon voyager figures which Death has ordered.

It's not often that HTS beats BBTS to the punch. Good on them...

Site worked perfectly fine for me, and I did none of that, I just checked out as a guest again (really should look into signing up for them as much as I buy from there - especially as my 'autofill' settings hiccuped and have me living in alabama, india, or some such nonsense)
