100$ for the pair? That's really reasonable for a premium set. Considering that each of the normal ones go for 55-60$ + taxes.

Yeah, but with the current exchange rate and shipping, it is still mega expensive for us Canadians, eh?

I went by a couple of Targets in my area and I saw that exclusive Leader class Silver Knight OP was reduced to $50. Not bad but I hope it drops a bit more. It seems to be the only OP from this latest movie line that has me interested.

I think everything else AOE was also marked down too. So if your still missing something have a look...'nuff said!

Not really. At worst, it will be roughly the same price as if you had bought the two at TrU with full taxes. Instead of the normal releases, you get the platinum versions. Not a bad deal, if you are willing to pay full regular price.

Oh man, this is what I was hoping would not happen. I went to Walmart today looking for any of the AOE deluxe figures. But there werent any. There werent any voyagers or leaders either.
Instead they were flooded with EVERYTHING ELSE FROM AOE EXCEPT THE ACTUAL TRANSFORMER FIGURES

man.... i wish some of my stores had that many waspinators. i still need one more.

I was thinking the same thing about Cosmos! Lol

Sitting on the sofa with my son watching Peppa Pig on nickJr (poor old Daddy Pig!) And the advert for Stomp & Chomp Grimlock comes on!
"Grrrrr" goes Daniel!
"Dinosaur" says I!
Let there be hope!!

He's 18 months!

Earlier this week, we reported that the Platinum Edition 2-Pack of Leader Class Grimlock and Optimus Prime were available from TRU.com, which you can read all about here, and order here.

You can see the galleries of the original figures here and here.

Our own Seibertron.com staffer, mooncake623, found them at retail in Times Square, right in the heart of New York City at the Toys R Us store. (This is one of the largest TRU stores in the world, with a ferris wheel inside!)

He provided image proof below:

So... Many... MP Sunstorms!

Lemme guess. This picture was not taken in a TrU from Québec.

I hope these aren't completely gone by the time I get back to the US at the end of October...

As we are eventually nearing the tail end of Transformers: Age of Extinction merchandise, now that the movie has been released for home viewing, some licensed products seen very early on are still dotting various retailers. Point in case, the Carrera Transformers Go!!! Slot Car Race Track Set spotted on Target.com, featuring car modes of Bumblebee and Lockdown, racing track and a big big box, all for the price of $109.99. Check out some mirrored images below!

s'funny how the car is the modern camara BB while the robot BB on the box is the classic "high octane" or whatever BB.

looks good

For reference.

I saw this this set at the Leipzig models and craft fair on Friday.

So I just noticed TFsource mis-priced Takara's AD30 "Sky Drift" (the Voyager Skyhammer redeco) as if it were a deluxe. Just 29.99:

That's pretty darned good for an imported voyager that probably features better paint apps.

nice catch! now i need to find something else to make the shipping worth while

Something tells me that we're not getting anything new in AOE Deluxe beyond the first initial waves. No original design "expanded universe" figures so to speak. Those were some of my favorites from the previous movie lines. Exclusive repaints of already released AOE figures seems to be the call of the day now.

EDIT: Ok, yeah, we did get some Dinos that were'nt in the movie, but that's about it.

Yeah, we've seen everything that we will be getting for the AoE line in all Classes. Nothing beyond the end of 2014. Possibly the shortest-lived line ever at 6 months or so.

Fellow Transformers fan RJ Escobedo, has found the newest wave of One-Step figures at his local Wal*Mart Supercenter in San Antonio Texas, today. This wave's new bots consist of Galvatron (first time in the simplified line), Steeljaw (probably his only toy appearance) and helicopter mode Drift.

Thanks to a post on Weibo, we get nice in-hand looks at the upcoming 5 figure Platinum Edition Dinobots Unleashed which include Grimlock, Strafe, Slug, Slog and Scorn. These figures feature some chrome and transparent plastic. Check out the figures below.

The Slug pics are switched.

Ummmmmmm...no.

Sabrblade wrote:The Slug pics are switched.

picky

those look phenominal... though i wasnt expecting clear plastic...

yikes these are underwhelming

Very interesting. A good set finally, I like it... a lot.

I never caught that they would be transluscent until now. Wasn't the whole point to be gun metal grey like in the film?

Meh, I'll stick with the Life Savers Dinobots. Because those are rather dull looking.
...
To be honest, they are wicked cool looking. However, my TF money is rather limited at the moment. Choices must be made. And a DOTM Takara Jetwing Optimus Prime for 95$ loosse and shipped is my top priority.

DarksydeGrimlock wrote:yikes these are underwhelming

Oh, us.

I got those one step figures today and opened Drift, Galvatron, and HO Bumblebee. I gotta say, they're fantastic. Each one has a really unique transformation, Galvatron's in particular is really cool.

Why did they have to put translucent plastic on these?? I would have MUCH preferred the more tarnished metallic look for the entirety of each of the figures. Translucent plastic kills the itch I had for this set. Though, on the bright side, more money for Generations and MPs. So there's that.

This Dinobot set, to me, is a perfect example of figures I'd love for good photographers to have - so I can admire them from afar.

They look nice, but more as a display piece than a toy, really. And I have my Power Rangers Dinoforce already, anyway. But dang does that first shot look good.

My favourite is Steeljaw.

100% agreed.

BERSEKAEL wrote:Very interesting. A good set finally, I like it... a lot.

Same here.

Clear plastic? I thought it will be all metallic silver,stew and etc! Time to customize the regular,already released ones I guess. You want something done right,do it your self!

Not been following the AoE toys really, thought Id wait it out should I fancy picking anything up.
Thought Id have a quick gander at the latest Dinobot figures and...

I am sticking with the Takara black knight versions and the SDCC G1. These are awful, mainly due to the revelation of the clear plastic.

y'know, id actually bet money that theyre translucent to specifically offset them from the takara "black knight" versions, as they were pretty similar.

Fellow fan and Seibertron board member, Bounti76, has provided the location and picture proof of his sighting of Lockdown, in the Titan figure line. His sighting took place at a Wal*Mart Supercenter in Salt Lake City, Utah.

How is it weird? We've had non-transforming Transformers since 1990.
