Upcoming Titans Return Deluxe Wave 4 Revision

What are you talking about? Stores near me have had this revision case for weeks. Sadly it won't sell for quite some time because the figures looks pretty drab, but it'll tide over until wave 5 thankfully.

I have a creeping suspicion that this case is going to make finding Slugslinger a lot harder to find.

I just found a review of Cogman by Kevin Liu.

This ain't the TLK section bud.

I don't need this Wave 4's been out in my area for a few weeks now and I've managed to snag Kup and Topspin and I hope to get Perceptor really soon. I'm saving the repaints for TFcon DC

With the wife and kids out of town, and the living room all to myself, I pulled every TR toy I have to date out of the Collect-O-Tron and, well, PARTIED!







I ordered Trypticon to arrive the day the family cleared out. He is AWESOME!
That was some of the best me time I've had in a while.

Now, back to reality.

Ha that's pretty awesome. Hopefully they're gone long enough that you don't have to rush to put it all back. Looks like it'll take a while! But awesome pics.

Great now this means ill never find kup & perceptor, revised waves are stupid and need to go the way of the dodo. Revised wave 2 made it damn near impossible to find wave 3 and also screwed alot of people out of mindwipe & wolfwire, looks like its time for round 2. Good job hasbro, way to give the fans what they want.

Interesting, I was arguing over on another thread that what you mention was indeed the case when he was complaining that all he could find was wave 3. There was a time when I know fans were paying 40$ for a triggerhappy.

Not more bloody Triggerhappys and Twinfernos. They've been shelfwarming with other Wave 3 figures around here for months...

BBTS is processing the Siege set

Same here.

(Egregious amounts of sarcasm below):

Oh look. A revision wave consisting of TFs I've seen shelfwarming everywhere. I'm so terribly excited.

Anyways, these revision waves are definitely going to make it harder to track down Wave 5. Especially since distribution here in PA is already quite shoddy.

nycPrime wrote:BBTS is processing the Siege set

I did not get an e-mail, but I did check this morning and can confirm.


Also, Just a question...I am doing their "Pile of Loot" option for the first time in order to get God Bomber. Now that the Siege on Cybertron set is processing, will they automatically ship together or do I have to do something on my end?

Well, here is where I am at in terms gaps in my collection of TR figures:

Titan Masters:
Ramhorn

Legends:
Unless Wave 6 has new characters, I am complete

Deluxe:
Slugslinger

Voyager:
Blitzwing (preordered on BBTS)
Octone (preordered on BBTS)

Leader:
Overlord

Exclusives:
Siege on Cybertron (processing at BBTS).
Primitive Skateboarding OP (don't care about this one, so not getting it)
Wingspan & Cloudraker
Arcee & UM Hascon exclusive

Others:
LG42 Godbomber. Torn on this one, kinda want it to complete the "Delta Magnus" figure. But now that everywhere has sold out, not sure I would pay more than the $70 I have seen him for.

Based on the the other titan masters I have seen out in the wild, I think Ramhorn is getting gobbled up quick, since I am seeing a lot of Apeface, Ptero, and Overboard shelfwarming near me.

Your Pile of Loot will only ship what shows in the PoL screen when you hit ship. So wait till everything you want is on that screen before shipping.

This is my first time doing this too, so thank you for this!

Processing... please hurry so I can ship.

And man, HTS stuff, TFsource stuff, and now this. I haven't gotten a transformer in nearly 2 months and now all my online orders are shipping

Awesome thanks.

Yeah once this order processes, that's it for me as far as BIG purchases. If I actually see a Trypticon at TRU I can put it on layaway, but someone bought all the ones that showed up recently. Other than that, I just need Ramhorn and Overlord to complete my TR collection, and I doubt Ill be seeing either of those anytime soon.

Same here for BBTS with me. No email or anything from them, but decided to randomly check and the order is processing. Just waiting for it to hit my PoL then shipping Seige with Godbomber. Managed to get skater prime from HTS this morning as well, so next week/weekend should be fun. Time for a super city.

Glad someone replied to your question. I was too busy this morning hitting F5 at HTS lol

At around 3:10pm, BBTS sent out notification that TR Overlord is now up for Preorder, price is 46.99.

http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/V ... ails/58394

"SHARKTICONS, EXECUTE THEM"

"Kup, this remind you of anything?"
"Yeah, I think humans called it Black Friday"

Target Master Rodimus Prime?

One more thing I'll add to the BBTS info, check the dates in the POL. I believe some POL items may automatically ship if left for too long.

I got my notice on Siege set this morning.

I also preordered Overlord, expected ship in Sept. So I will likely ship once Overlord comes in. I just got Tryp and am still applying stickers...

I blocked out 10pm through 3am a couple weekends ago to do it. Didnt regret it.

Edit: in reference to Trypticons sticker application.

Yea BBTS allows 90 days to stockpile your POL. It'll tell you on your orders page when things must ship. So Siege just hit, but my Seaspray/Cosmos must ship in 42 days. I'll probably wait another week to see if there's anything I want before hitting ship.

The siege set and Godbomber are shipping!! Excited for this!!

I dont know why I let those shelfwarming Twinferno comments get to me, but they do. I find it a braindead thing to complain about since God forbid we see 2017 toys on shelves in 2017. While stores wait to get the latest waves, what is so terrible with stocking the shelves with quality Titans return toys? Wave 3 was a wave people were begging for a while back, and paying double retail on e-bay for. Maybe Hasbro heard your request and made sure everyone who wanted a wave 3 toy would get one. Would people rather see empty pegs instead while the latest waves have all been sold out? We would just see a different brand of complaining instead, calling stores dumb for not stocking on a line that should be stocked more. FFS

It's a combination of Impatience, partly exasperated by seeing sightings in the opposite part of the country making people think "Oh, well then that should be out next week" when the reality of Shipping Logistics is a lot more like Maple Syrup in January, and a grounded fear that the figures we wanted three months prior are now going to sit in the way of the figures that are supposedly coming out now. Recent collecting history is full of Waves that got little to no street release because the opening Waves are still sitting there. The Movie lines are a prime example, but if I remember right the Protectobots of CW were never "Readilly Available" to the majority of the States because of the Stunticons and Airelbots. I NEVER saw Jetfire on a shelf, and maybe one Ultra Magnus very, VERY late to the game after I gave up and ordered. Granted, Leader Class releases are a tad bit different than Deluxes, but the point is we have all seen Walmart and Meijers skip over waves we wanted because they were stuffed with old stock, and the windows on getting these waves in appear to get smaller and smaller every year.

From a Business standpoint, you are right, its better for them to have stock than empty pegs, but the catch is full pegs mean they don't order what's most currently available

I just had an interesting idea of what the preliminary plans were for Magnus Prime of the Siege set:

- CW Ultra Magnus Trailer
- TR Powermaster Optimus Prime cab
- alternate Apex face plate and helmet

Discuss.

Anyone mashing them up to see what that would look like?

Pre-ordered overlord and overlord at bbts, can't wait to get them both, they're so different, I can't wait to hook them up in base mode to soundwave and sky shadow

Just payed for the Siege set and is in my pile of loot for when I'm ready to ship it.

Also just bought Black Convoy and he's on his way and I have the SDCC Optimus on Preorder..I'm so excited!

Was fooling around with my purchases which I think are great when I just made this character from a combination of Topspin and Twintwist with Twinferno's head he's pretty cool looking his name is Toptwist for now...he has a mortar launcher that can be used as a jumpack when not in weapon mode.

Was there ever a date for the Wingspan/Cloudraker Walgreens set?

Not that I am aware of. Fortunately once they are finally out, they should be easier to find than Brainstorm was since they should be a new/different package and price point.

Several confirmations of leaks Chainclaw posted on TFW2005.

4. Leader "Powermaster Prime" has a blue repaint. Called Magnus Prime/Super Ginrai.

Given that the Podcast was right about pretty much everything except for the Siege box set (and "Thunderclap" in the Chaos set), this was probably a preliminary plan. Honestly, I would have liked to see this.

Anyone think there will there be a figure in the Siege set that will be "undervalued" relative to their class size? ($6, $10, $16, $25, $45)

I was able to snag Laser Prime from the Chaos set for $18 shipped and it looks like no one really wants Quickswitch.

Awesome photos. But where are the combiners and older chug figures? At first I was it was only headmaster figures but then I noticed buzzaw who was a CW issue. Kickback misses his partners. Lol

Could one swap out the cabs of Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus and Titans Return Powermaster Optimus Prime/Titans Return Magnus Prime and still have them transform into robot mode? I don't have either figure to check.

A custom helmet, painting a red cab white, and the Titan Master Ultra Magnus figure could complete it.

Everyone values the TR Box Sets differently. I'd say the fandom is pretty evenly split about what they want.

The TM has the die-cast appeal.

The Legends Clones have a heavy nostalgia factor as having no real re-release since their introduction 30 years ago.

The Deluxes (Nautica and Metalhawk) have a heavy appeal to fans of IDW

Voyager Laser Prime will have its niche among G2 fans, and Tidal Wave among Armada fans

The Leaders *may* be a contender for least desirable, but ironically these are ones I want the most due to their base modes. Quickswitch may be wanted by fans of characters associated with Sixshot. Also Magnus Prime may have some appeal for the ability (unlike TR PM Prime) to be able to complete God Ginrai with God Bomber (which we now know is not getting released by Hasbro)

If anything Tidal Wave, since he "looks nothing like Armada Tidal Wave"

The Chaos set is all but sold out in my local area, the only TRU that has stock is an hour drive away (not gonna tell you where, you naughty little scalpers )

TRU has a search function where you can see which stores in your area have them. The one closest to me keeps getting this back in stock, every time I think its gone, they get more.

Also the more recent ones now have a hologram Geoffry Circular "TRU Exclusive" sticker on the box, and each side is sealed with 2 pieces of tape on each side, instead of one. Just slight manufacturing differences I've noticed.

It's all just Titans Return figures, with the addition of Buzzsaw since he's meant to go with the Titans Return figures despite his being released under the Combiner Wars label.

Hey man the coffee table is only so big. Sure Buzzsaw was CW, but come on, we all know he's meant to go with TR Soundwave. I mean Lio Prime is Takara Legends, but...

Normally X, I'd tell you to check out the Collect-O-Tron (in my sig), but like you and almost everyone else in the Energon Pub, Photobucket's jerk move has left my collection thread a baron wasteland.
