Ok, I've really got to learn more about this frustration free packaging. Is it just wrapped in something and no box? Are there no tie-downs? What makes it $20-worth of cheaper?

I am curious too, Canada doesnt have this option for some reason.

Were you collecting when Age of Extinction was around? That Optimus evolution set was the best way to get the classics mold.


Great figures bad repaints


They were amazing repaints. The AOE Voyager had the actual correct deco of what movie Optimus would have looked like when painted and the Classics one had the perfect G1 deco that only the Cloud Optimus surpasses.

Check these awesome repaints:

Agreed on the Evolution Primes. Those rock. But I'd say Cloud and Evo Classics Primes are trying to achieve different things. Cloud is toon accurate while Evo is toy accurate.

Exactly, though even with the toy accuracy angle, the Evolution set took several liberties, including gray upper arms, black shins, and black fists. The Cloud version gets these toy details right, with red upper arms, blue shins, and blue fists, even though it's actual aim is to be screen accurate to the G1 cartoon.

Looks like for Amazon, you get a brand specific brown box with the figures inside versus the actual box packaged inside a generic Amazon box. Seems good from a buying a toy for a kid perspective, bad from a collector perspective.

I'm going think really hard about it. This is probably the only platinum set that has piqued my interest and that seems like a reasonable price, considering how much those platty sets retail for.

I like amazon's frustration free packaging on other stuff, but I feel that part of the allure to these special sets is the neat-o burrito packaging. I can only imagine that the brown box will lower any future re-sell amounts/value :-?

To answer what is the dealio with the frustration free packaging, its just a boring box with just more cardboard supporting the figures with the tied down. Think the way CW Devy was packaged, only with out color and graphics on the outside.

As a crazy collector type person, I'm torn. :HEADHURTS:

I wouldn't buy this set without the awesome box. Really, that's the only reason I want ANY of these TF:TM Platinum sets. I have the figures already but I don't have those awesome boxes!

Yeah, the packaging has at least some value to a lot of people including me, probably moreso with these Platinum sets. I would be very tempted to get this for $75 if it was in the standard packaging. But they'll have to come down for me to choose the brown amazon packaging.

It's also interesting that the standard packaging option, which is much more expensive, is not sold directly by Amazon. Hopefully Amazon itself gets in some standard packaging units too.

I don't know were this would go but it said Platinum set so...

I was looking for Fort Max at Myer again and he wasn't there, spoke to the cashier about him and she said a collector (I think scalper) came in and bought them both for full price. She let me check the computer for availability in other places in Australia, but the most interesting thing wasn't about how much they had in stock at Melbourne. It was what was in the related searches.

TRA GENERATIONS PLATINUM EDITION Liokaiser Combiner

The title probably isn't that accurate from what I saw on the computer. (They get really specific) But still, interesting...

Who's saying that? I'm saying it's likely the cw boxset listed incorrectly. If they are releasing the g1 set, we have not heard anything about it. Until then, assume it's a typo in the system.

We technically haven't been officially told that the CW-molded Liokaiser would be sold under the Generations Combiners Wars label. We just assumed that it would based on there being so many other boxed set combiners coming out under that label: G2 Superion, G2 Menasor, G2 Bruticus, Victorion, Computron, etc.

But let's also remember that the only cross-sell we saw for Liokaiser was on the Platinum Edition Autobot Heroes set. Unless Platinum Edition packaging cross-sells advertise toys of other non-Platinum Edition lines, this coupled with the new computer listing would be good indicators that Liokaiser very well might be a Platinum Edition release instead of a Combiner Wars boxed set.

Alright, that's fair then, guess that would make it a platinum edition set then, seems fitting I guess, if he really comes with several arms microns too. Has the price been listed anywhere?

I was wondering if the list price had come up in the computers like computrons did, but now that I think on it, the art was the official rumor, then the cross-sell and that's it, guess not. Do you think the price would be higher than $100? And what store do you think would get it, and would hts get it (I don't remember if they got any of the other platinum sets, but I don't think that they did...)

Simple: just "Generations", like all the others. ;) The real question is "Is it a Platinum Edition", or a regular "Combiner Wars" release (remember, "Platinum Edition" is no longer a line in and of itself, starting with AoE)

If you ask me, it'll be the former: not only has Combiner Wars effectively ended, but Liokaiser doesn't really fit the overall norm of G1 Combiner. Not everyone would know him, he is more niche and more fit as a special release, even more than Computron.

by the by Do Platinum Editions have their own separate budget? I'm asking because I can imagine between regular releases and exclusives, Computron may have exhausted the CW one. Relocating Liokaiser to Platinum may free up the funds for the retooling he needs (4 to 5 new heads vs. 3 redecos, 2 sets of alternate parts, and unique hands and feet. Which would cost more?).

Good morning Seibertron! Thanks to Facebookers Pak Wai Tsang and Calvin Chan we have some in hand shots of Transformers Platinum Edition "Armada of Cyclonus" box set! Celebrating the 30th anniversary of the original animated Transformers: The Movie, this set homages the scene where Unicron reformats the discarded Decepticon's into Galvatron's minions: Cyclonus, Scourge, and the Sweeps. Figures dedicated to this scene have been done before, but what's unique to this set however is the brand new head sculpt on the Sweep (which is basically a fresh shaved Scourge). See the inspiring set below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com: home for the best Galleries and Conversation around!

GOOD NEWS


The Frustration free packaging option means you still get the fancy Platinum box :KREMZEEK:

There is a difference to the standard packaging though, here is a statement from a tfw board member:

I received my set today, and wanted to clarify what "Frustration-Free Packaging" apparently means in this particular case. The good news is, you DO get the five panel box despite Amazon's indication to contrary. The bad news is it comes in a fitted outer cardboard box with NO PADDING WHATSOEVER. No protection from bumps, dings, crushing or piercing. I have a slightly crushed upper left corner, but I genuinely consider myself lucky that is all the damage that occurred.

Yeah and he is very disrespectful and ayone quoting that wishing it was their own words is badly misinformed.

The frustation free packaging is not a replacement to the other amazon packaging. It is a replacement for the nice packaging with twist ties, tape and all that. What is usually is, is just a brown box and when you open it you get your items directly, they are not in their own packaging in the box. The reason you and the rude TFW person didnt get that (nor even tried to udnerstand) is because it is very backwards here. Even though they used frustration free packaging, they still kept the toys in their original box, which shouldnt be the case. But thats good news to colelctors who wanted the box.

Look at the picture below to better udnerstand and not jump to conclusions like others have before you, insulting general consumers:

I like the concept of an official Sweep figure, which is something we've on;y seen from Fun Pub to this point. I'm not a fan of the plastic style, although in this case it fits right in with the way they are formed in the movie.

Yeah I really don't understand how that was "frustration free" packaging. Maybe for Amazon in regards to shipping it? :lol:

It's a pretty cool set. The deco on OP is nicer than I realized, the blue on the legs has a bit of a dark metallic sheen to it. The clear blue windows look bad, but from talking to Mark Weber at Botcon at least I know what the intention was there, with that being a representation of when he's got part of his abdominal area busted open during that battle.

The red Megatron is actually a neat take, and while I'm sure it's the only way legal would let the toy get out, the touches of yellow make this a fun way to pretend that Transmetal 2 Megatron and G1 Megatron had a child or did the fusion dance or something and out came this guy. This mold has held up extremely well, though I think this is only about the fourth version of it in a decade, yes? Anyway, it's very well put together. OP is surprisingly nice too, especially considering how floppy the AOE release was.

If you don't have these molds, this is a good way to experience them at a decent price point. They're not very definitive versions of Optimus or Megatron, but if you're like me and can live with that you won't be disappointed. I'm going to look at these as a "last shot" version of the molds. While they may not truly be as time progresses, if they are the last time these get brought out then it's a fun stylized way to go out.

Fellow Seibertron Twincast Podcast frontman Scotty P has acquired the Transformers Generations Platinum Edition One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall set available from Amazon and he took the Frustration Free package which saves you 20$. People were wondering what that packaging meant since Amazon showed that this new packaging meant you would only get the toys with no outer box:

However, for this set, you actually do get the coveted Platinum Edition window pane box with gorgeous new art. Scotty P took these photos to show you how the packaging looks like when you take the Frustration Free option for this set on Amazon:

He even gave us a quick written review of what to expect from this set and if it's worth getting or not:

They're not very definitive versions of Optimus or Megatron, but if you're like me and can live with that you won't be disappointed. I'm going to look at these as a "last shot" version of the molds. While they may not truly be as time progresses, if they are the last time these get brought out then it's a fun stylized way to go out.

After reading it, I really hope Liokaiser isn't a platinum. I wouldn't want to fork out money like that for him :MAXIMAL:

a $100 box set up marked to $150 for platinum prices? I think that's a fair bit, a whole other leader class figure plus titanmaster :MAXIMAL:

No way, I would never pay that much for repaints and some arms microns, it won't even include exclusive hands or feet :HEADHURTS:

The 2016 Platinum sets have been met with mixed remarks. One of the most anticipated sets, however, is the Platinum set with Cyclonus and his Armada. Of note is the mix of clear plastic to illustrate them being reformatted, a remolding of Cyclonus' hand to have a 5mm port on both hands as well as a brand new Sweep head sculpt from Hasbro.

While this will be a Target Exclusive set in the states, it is already appearing online for whoever wants this set now at the standard Platinum Edition price of $93.99. It is currently available on e-bay by the same store selling the Exclusive LGEX figures.

We have something that has come a little bit out of left field for you Americans that are reading this. Remember how the Platinum edition Robots in Disguise Bumblebee and Grimlock set became available in Canada a few weeks back? Well, we finally have an American listing for them, in the form of Entertainment Earth. Entertainment Earth not only has the set in stock for $59.99, but it is also an Entertainment Earth Exclusive. The set includes a repainted Warrior Bumblebee and Voyager Adventures Grimlock. The listing can be found by clicking on the Entertainment Earth link above.
