Meanwhile, at my local Canadian TrU, the Bomshel/Reflector set, along with his wavemate, are priced at 15$tx. That's 50% more expensive than the American price. TrU, what the hell?

I sent them this sighting like 3 weeks ago and never responded!

They make stuff too difficult here.

Frustrating isn't it?

I actually found (and bought) these two myself, and asked the staff if it was newsworthy. No response. *shrug*

Ok, the deal with Sightings.

The News Staff are running a bit on overwork right now, and I hope you can all understand that we do this on a voluntary basis, in our spare time, and in different time zones.

There can be issues with emails, and a new address has been created specifically for sightings: sightings@seibertron.com. If you see something, send it along, and we'll get to it as soon as we can. If you don't email us, it'll be harder to track it down in forums and the Sightings page (which should still be used for everyone's hunting, though!).

As much as it can be frustrating to see an item not recognised and credit not given, it's equally frustrating to have to read the same comments each time. We know things can slip, and we apologise for that - but please help us out!

Thank you Cyber Bishop for the link to the Louisiana thread; YoungPrime, can you please re-send the email notification? This is not the first time it's happened, and we'd rather make sure all is working correctly on both ends.

Saw these on sunday in miami. Easy pass for me.

if i knew this was news i would've reported it, i saw these 2 days ago at walmart. Figured if they're showing up here they must've been out for a while elsewhere. But i passed on em since i still dont think they are worth it, especially since the Rattrap & Tankor that were right next to them were $9.96. Oh and id like to thank hasbro for putting generations on the AoE deluxes, cause of that i got lockdown for $10 as well.

Same here, saw these the second week of August, but I have been so used to being behind the releases I didn't say anything. And to that fact, no store oter than that Target in Fishers, IN has them. I might pickup Cliffy , but I have really no interest in him. And truthfully, I only got NP for Spinister, and gave hat to TFSS Scourge.

Well, pricing should be going back to "normal" soon, so grab your $9.98 Generations while it lasts. My Walmart went back up to $14.95 for Generations Deluxe once the Rattrap wave hit. This also included the movie stuff. Target is $15.99 near me, and I have heard higher in some areas.

The wait is finally over fellow Seibertronians! Earlier today both Seibertron and myself received our shipping notices from Hasbro Toy Shop for Transformers Generations Crosscut, Jhiaxus, and Nightbeat! You can still pre-order at Hasbro Toy Shop here. This means that this wave will be hitting everywhere pretty soon so make sure to post up any of your own sightings in the appropriate section and forums when you see these guys in the wild!

Also let's speculate away here, why has Windblade from the same wave not shipped?

Because HTS send the order in more than one shot if they go beyond 3 figures or something. I dealt with them ONCE. Not only they charge taxes, they charge my ass 30$ base Fedex shipping for a order of ONE minimicro figure. Then, the shipping cost increase and increase as I add figures to the cart. Then, they MUST use FedEx for me. Meaning I had to change the shipping address to my workplace or I'll had to go to the NEXT TOWN AIRPORT to get my package! They also sent my order of six figures in 3 different packages over a week!

TlDr:
HTS is awesome ONLY if you are American.
For anyone else, go to BBTS or any other online shops instead.

That's not True I've ordered from them many times before.

Hopefully BBTS will get these soon so you have have yours =]

Well, that was true for me. Read my original post again. As an American, not only you have cheap or FREE shipping from HTS, you can have your stuff in one go. I'm CANADIAN so I'm screwed. 30$ base shipping costs, taxes anyway, FedEx mandatory, and an order shipped in more than one shot obligatory at my workplace.

So, never again.

Women, always running late. Am I right? (chugs a beer, farts on my way out)

still not sure if i want any of these, ill wait til the hit stores so i can see them in person. Plus im sure they'll be cheaper

Yep, just got my notice on these 3. Meanwhile, it says that Windblade, Lockdown, Drift (heli), Slog, Roadbuster, and Skybyte won't ship til the 22nd.

I hope BBTS gets these in stock soon.

Shouldn't it be "are shipping"?

HTS brought and sold ALL of the Windblades they had at FanExpo this year. That might be a small reason why there are none left for anyone.

I'm really tempted to just cancel my preorder with BBTS and just grab this one. If there was a coupon available or at least free shipping it would be no contest.

Wow, this wave's already shipping and I haven't even found Rattrap and Tankor yet! I thought I was caught up after pre-ordering Wasp, Skids and Dreadwing... I just can't win, can I

Damnit, when is Snarl coming out?

HTS10DISC is currently working, so there you go. Cancel that BBTS preorder!

I've gotten confirmation of my shipment of Jhiaxus, Nightbeat, Crosscut, Skids, and Waspinator as well. Windblade still showing "Not Shipped" along with Roadblock, Skybyte, Slog, and Jetfire. That's rather odd considering she's part of that case.

I missed out on their Skids the first time it was available because it didn't get posted on the site at the same time as Dreadwing, Goldfire, and Waspinator. I blame their IT department for not getting it posted at the same time. It was about a week later before Skids did appear and it alone wouldn't qualify for free shipping at the time and $30 for a Hasbro Deluxe is just too much. Good quality 3rd party deluxe figures is the exception to that rule.

HTS10DISC isn't working and HTS is charging taxes on top of it. I'll just wait for BBTS.

Seibertron.com member william-james88 stopped by to let us know of a current ongoing auction held by ebay seller lena81822.In this auction lena81822 brings us some new in-hand images of Generations Chromia. Chromia is a repaint and extensive retool of Transformers Prime RID Arcee. Check out the images we've mirrored below.

Pretty good for a heavy retool.

A relatively minor thing all things considered, but I guess someone missed the memo that Camians don't like to use guns.

Oh well, I'm sure we can count on Dr. Wu or Shapeways for a 3rd party halberd.

The gun is actually Arcee's gun from the G1 movie:



Or at least loosely inspired by it.

That is one horribly mistransformed Chromia

Thank god for that, I was looking at the photos thinking that this isn't what Hasbro showed us!

Good spot. Wonder why the Generations Arcee isn't using it?

Still, the point remains that Chromia has been shown most prominently as a melee combatant.

Loving the lightcycle alt-mode. Too bad about the completely clear canopy, it looked better when it was transparent smoke/grey. But otherwise, she looks great! This is how repaints should be done.

Shuttershock wrote:Good spot. Wonder why the Generations Arcee isn't using it?

It might not have been doable on any of Arcee's plastic sprues. So they probably figured people would be getting both anyway, and so found a way to still give us the gun, even if it comes with someone else.

After all, DOTM Megatron's shotgun came with AOE Evasion Mode Optimus.

Yeah, I'm sure that was deliberate when they made DOTM Megs.

I just find it funny that they gave her a gun and not a halberd, especially since Generations has been pretty good about giving the right weapons to the right people.

For Spark's sake, Skids comes with a Nudge Gun!

You know what this means... soon - ARCEE!!!!!!!!

And I just pulled up this site to see if there were any in-hand images of Chromia.

As for her having a gun, didn't she have one in the G1 cartoon? Because I seem to remember her having one there.

I really wish the backpack came off to become her riot shield.

Oh leana when will you ever learn how to transform a transformer?

In further Hasbro Transformers Generations news today, we bring you another video review from Seibertron.com board member chuckdawg1999, this time talking us through a Legends figure: Gears and Targetmaster Eclipse! The little guy is a repaint of the Swerve mold, with new headsculpt, while the partner's a simple redeco of Flanker. Check out the embedded clip below!

One of the fun things with the Generation line is seeing how repaints/remolds can get turned around. Case it point, way back when Gears was the original figure while Swerve was the remold. 30 years later with Swerve being a more popular character we see Gears as a repaint of that Legends figure. Surprisingly the joints are a little bit tighter so take care moving them around, other than that this is a fine figure worthy of your collection.

Eclipse is a repaint of Swerve partner, Flanker, not Payload. He is supposed to represent G1 Eagle Eye. No switching partners yet here like with Cliffjumper and Nemesis Prime.

Any time

Swerve and Gears are required purchases for me. I just hope I can find the latter when moving.

What number is Gears out of 30?

GuyIncognito wrote:What number is Gears out of 30?

He's not part of the "list of 30 randomly picked exclusives and special releases". "Thrilling 30" refers to the line of the year as a whole.

Mmm-mm. Nope. That's the ugliest repaint I've seen in a long time. Swerve doesn't deserve this kind of atrocity for a legacy.

I think the head missing its red paint stripes and outside/top hurts the look. Makes him look like Brawn.

If those were applied and the area surrounding the head were simply blue, I think it would resemble the original character a lot more.

Saying this for customizers out there... and because I plan to paint mine this way.

The kibble above her head is very obnoxious, apart from that she looks nice.

I don't "think" Gears is identifying himself as female in the comics... unless there's something I've missed recently (???).

He was talking about Chromia from the previous news post.
