Reading up on his facebook page, by the end of the week all the combaticons will be reviewed: Brawl on monday, Vortex on wednesday and Swindle on Friday. He also said that Brawl is actually not impressing him, as he has very loose joints and the chest is a mess. We'll just have to see when that review comes out tomorrow!

Glad he's a jet, love the colors, BUT he could've used more paint, not too happy that there's no remolding

Loose joints are subjective, usually fixable, and varies case by case; I wouldn't be too worried

Guess it does prove though that they are nearer than we thought

I like the way you see things and I see them the same way too. I dont need him to be a space shuttle per say but what would be fun about a space shuttle would be the assurance that we are getting something new with this figure. Since there is nothing new about the molding here, the toy feels like it is giving less added value aside from having another jet limb but now in a different colour.
I dont see this release any different than say... this:

Indeed you are, I just figured it a 'reviewer privilege' and watched the video;
Did you get an Onslaught? They aren't cased together, but didn't know if they got any of those too...

We reviewers don't get as many privileges as people seem to think lol. No i didn't get Onslaught but i have that preordered as well. I had heard a rumor that him and SCattershot were due in Monday at retailers. Not specifically BBTS mind you. But it should be soonish i would imagine.

I saw it was posted on some ebay page selling them. They said they were coming in stock on Monday for them. I would imagine it would be soon for the other online retailers, maybe a little later for actual stores

So what is it about Brawl that makes him so dissapointing? Is it just on the looseness?

I'm not worried, more like impatient. I really want to see Swindle and Brawl, and I am very excited for the combaticons to come. I just want to see some reviews!

Can anyone explain why the Prowl I just picked up has the manual printed on entirely different paper stock than any of the other CW figures I have (and I have a lot of them)? All the other manuals were typical glossy paper, Prowl's is a cheaper seeming non-glossy type. Not a big deal, it's just weird that his is different, even from Sunstreaker and Mirage that were from the same wave.
Mine's combiner thingy is also misassembled, with the part that connects the thumb/heel to the main part put in upside down, so it doesn't fold up quite right. If not for the stupid pins, it would be an easy fix.

Blast off makes a lot of sense as a jet. The space shuttle was just too dang big of an alt mode.

My Sunstreaker came with flat paper instructions, I assumed it was standard for wave 4 (he's my only wave 4 purchase). Sounds from your comment like it's not, which is weirder.
Oh don't pretend you don't know what he means.

Sighhhhhhhhh the one time I didn't pre-order something from BBTS
Re: Video Review for Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Blast Off

My second Motormaster (the one that came with Battle Core OP) came on the same dull paper, almost like it was photocopied. I thought it was weird too.
I preordered Combaticons as soon as I got the email notification the preorder was available. I didn't get a notice of them being in stock either (even though I have in the past, most notably Leader Ultra Magnus). So, it must have been a really small shipment.

I preordered mine from bbts. They should be here soon. Hope my brawl isn't plagued with looseness. 
I didn't get onslaught. Did anyone preorder him or did he not come in yet? Honestly waiting on the running change.
