Shouldn't this have gone in this thread?

I am more and more puzzled by the fact that there is no announcement of that specific lost age easy Optimus coming to North America. He seems integral to the line over there being at it's forefront. Then again, they are not advertising for the small one step optimus. And it wouldnt be for redundancy, since they have 2 grimlocks. Something odd is going on with all this.

Its about time this guy hit retail. Can't wait to find it!

LA01 Battle Command Optimus Prime.

Which wave is he in?

None, that's what is crazy. There is no planned Hasbro release for the tent pole figure from the Lost Age Easy line. That boggles my mind. It seems this whole line is based on the toys' play factor of which there are 2. There is the instant transformation and the interaction with other figures. The lack of LA01 in North America makes the line almost pointless since it denies certain the play factor of these toys (such as them being the right size to store in a trailer).

I am not complaining as a collector (I wouldnt buy any of these anyway) but I am really puzzled and curious at the business angle. It seems Hasbro was far more involved with the gimmicky flip and change transformers while Takara preffered the interaction factor. hasbro just seems to be going at it in a very half assed way. I am sure they would sell much more of the easy transformers to kids if they had that LA01 to go with it.

I would have guessed mybe a christmas release but we should have had some word of it by now with all the recent cons.

Those are Movie Advanced Series toys.

About damn time.

Has there been any announcement if some of the Lost Age deluxes that are being released in Japan will make over here to the US, Wheeljack, Soundwave, Dino, and Dispensor? It just seems that this movie toy line has been real light on figures, that we know of, no counting all the recolored story exclusives. Also are there plans for more Decepticons other than Galvatron and Lockdown?

Nope and nope.

For the former, those toys were added to the Movie Advanced line as both filler and as a tribute to the past three films.

For the latter, the AOE line is only going to last till the end of this year, and there really weren't a lot of named bad guy robots in this movie what with Cemetery Wind being the main antagonist group. Lockdown was the man robot villain, but not a Decepticon. Galvatron was more of a plant for the next movie, and the KSI robots were just fodder.

Yeah I knew Lockdown is technically not a Decepticon, just did not want to say if for the few people that may not have seen the movie yet and did not want spoilers. But I figured they would at least do Stinger and maybe the dump truck since that mold was shown awhile ago, think it was an earth day announcement from Takara.

So is lockdown his own wave or is he packed with other figures? Hes obviously not in slashes wave cause that just started to arrive here & no lockdown. Also target has had deluxes on sale for 2 weeks now, i reported it but no one seemed to care.

Lockdown is in the 2.5 revision from what I have seen.

Lockdown should have been a leader class. That deluxe is OK but his arms are to long and his head is a bit Silver-surfer for my liking. Still plan on picking him up.

J. Howard Christ!

10 bucks for a Lockdown?

Deluxes cost 27 euro's in The Netherlands, that's 36 dollars!
Voyagers use to cost that much in the Armada Days.

Dafuq is going on in Europe?

+ we probably won't even see Lockdown in stores.

Seriously, You americans are lucky.

Generations has always been expensive here, if you can even find them! I've only seen wave 1 of the FoC series, and the prices were already nothing to sneeze at: €25!

You are absolutely right. We tend to take it for granted and forget the plights of other fans. We need to be more thankful for what we do have and quit complaining as much as we do.

Thanks to the Transformers Columbia Facebook page we have some new official images of figures in the Transformers: Age of Extinction 1 Step Changers line. The figures include: Rollbar, Strafe, Megatron, and Prowl. Take a look at the images mirrored below:

That artwork makes me wish Prowl was in the movie.

he would look out of place. looking like a transformer and all.

I am a huge fan of the 1-step Prowl. I can't say that about most of this line so far.

Not hating on the one step bots and all.
I mean, I love the Euro exclusive colorfull bricks (Predators/Turbomasters)

But can't they be more like 4-step changers?

I feel the pain bro, good thing we have great import shops.
But the feeling of just walking into a toystore and buying the TF you've been waiting for is special. Not the UPS guy ringing the doorbell 3 days later than expected.

Not to be a dick, but it's ColOmbia, not Columbia. Colombia is the country, Columbia is a U.S. District and a river in the Northwest.

More crap to clog up the shelves.

Interesting article....I just wonder why it's consistently misspelled on Seibertron, by the news staff, when the Facebook page is clearly spelled correctly (Colombia). Isn't that where they get a lot of news about new product photos from?

Oh, and BTW, Soundwave9, I just noticed that you misspelled it, too (Columbia/Columbia). Maybe it's because I work with a Colombian woman that I'm more aware.

I'll be picking up Prowl and Megatron, but no-one else.

Movie Prowl finally gets a toy!

You get so butthurt when people diss the movie, it's hilarious.

Movie verse prowl would be interesting to see as an actual figure and not an easy change pos.
Also, bay sucks and his movies suck... heh heh heh

Rollbar is X-Brawn.

You just won yourself a warning!

"But Burn, I didn't enter any competition!"

Why yes, yes you did. As soon as you signed up for these forums you agreed to follow the forum rules.

Still not sure how you won?

How about ...

1. No flaming, trolling, harassing, or baiting other guests.

&

2. No excessive cursing, violence, or sexual content.

DOUBLE WINNER!


Enjoy your prize!

Everybody else, thanks for participating, let's get back on track!

Burn, besides being "Burned'.......the price is? Joke.

Back to the topic, in as much as I do not like te AOE line, I'm glad this exposes a lot of new blood to the TF franchise.This will help ensure Hasbro and Tomy continue releasing new products. I hope other folks realize that.

It's been a while since we've seen a so-called Stealth Exclusive (unannounced) but Japan has got a new one: Clear Version Optimus Prime. It's RotF Legends Prime done in a clear dark blue, and is included with the August issue of TV Boy/Telebi-Kun magazine. It includes stickers to give it the iconic flame deco.

I just love that Prowl.He is just so good

A sighting to kick off the weekend, all the way from Illinois and Seibertron.com user dahpadre: Age of Extinction Platinum Edition Two-Pack Optimus Prime and Grimlock is out there! This particular one was purchased at the Oak Lawn Kmart store - make sure to use the Sightings section to help out other collectors too, and happy hunting.

Of note is that it's the set with the Voyagers, not the Leaders.

Voyager two pack not leader as that's a BBTS/Toys R Us exclusive and not a K-Mart exclusive for those who were wondering. The box looks the same for both though.

Is k-mart the only one getting this platinum set?

Sadly yes. Took me by surprise actually, I was expecting Kmart to go chapter 11 within a few years, then this pops up.

They are for sale on Kmart and Sears website if anyone is interested.... includes free shipping!
