At least you wont be tempted as yo wait to see what Takara has cooking up. By the way, Amelie, just wanted to know if shipping to UK is cheap from japan. Does it cost more than 15 pounds for a standard UW combiner?

I might have been shopping in the wrong places but past experience tells me that Japan is often beyond my price range after shipping and taxes.
Best to find someone thats already got the figure in hand (like Kapow ect) than risk the import fees.

Do you get import fees regardless of the amount? In canada, if its less than 100$, then you can be pretty sure customs wont hold onto the package (aside from checking if it's a bomb and whatnot). Because I have seen Kapow's prices and that stuff aint cheap.

You have to pay import charges at standard VAT regardless of the amount here, provided they bother chasing you up on it - so its a bit of a lottery.
Kapow have already paid the import taxes and postage for you, so I'd consider the extra value worth it for the peace of mind.

I'm so glad that we don't have to deal with all of that craziness when importing items here into the US.

You should be. I had to pay VAT on a Christmas gift someone from the USA sent me once. -_-

I found the lot of Combaticons, sans Onslaught, at my local Walmart. Picked up Brawl since he's the only mold I do not have. I'll probably get the rest next weekend, once the last of my bills are paid off.

In addition to the recently posted stock images of the Wave 6 of Combiner Wars deluxes, featuring the Autobot squad of Wheeljack, Smokescreen, Hound, and Trailbreaker cutter whatever - which we have also seen many times out of package since SDCC - we also have the individual figures in their two modes and in-package through more stock photography. Check them out mirrored below from a Snakas blog entry!

Anyone else notice that they don't seem to come with comics but now include the cards...?

Man, I may just skip the entire CW Autobots wave part deux. I think Swindle will be may jeep buddy of choice and my homeboy Wheeljack just looks naked and I just don't care for that mold. I really wanna like these guys too.
If I spot WJ at retail I'll probably have a moment of weakness, his vehicle mode does look good. Hounds silver gatling pistol look pretty neat too.

Woah, what?
Did I miss something?
How come Trailbreaker's Gestalt Hand/Foot is so radically different from the others in the line? It's got two massive fingers and a very differently shaped thumb!
I like it! It adds more diversity to combiner limbs! But why him? Is it to make it fit better in the bed of his truck mode?

Good eye! I'm going to guess there is a way to shove the hand in his robot mode backpack to give him that classic Trailcutter look. I'm going go try it with Ironhide right now.Gearslide wrote:Woah, what?

I am glad i have the CHUG versions of these characters, because these look so terrible and cheap.
A screwhole in the window of Trailbreaker is the worst.

I like Hound for whatever reason, but I do not like the rest, they all seems woefully under-painted.

I don't get the whole thing about people complaining about repaints, especially when the moment Starscream comes out theres always a "when will we see Thundercracker\Skywarp". Like - c'mon - the seekers even have the same heads
Transformers and repaints go hand-in-hand and its been stuffed full of them since the very first wave in 1984

It looks like these are the international packaging (with multiple language representations of "Includes"). Perhaps these are just the international versions and we'll still be getting comics in the US.

I am 100% sure you are right and that these are simply the international versions.
Unless Hasbro is simply cutting costs and making one uniform packaging for the entire world including the states. Personally, I would rather any cost saving would be done with the packaging instead of the toys
