Yeesh...ok, but not unexpected. I only have Fasttrack coming from Amazon, hopefully it's not delayed. I was also asking for the sake of others. Looks like you got the whole assortment, and yes it is all over the place, Crazy.

I dunno if this means the Glyph and Tap-Out rumor is more or less credible now, these GO sets have been some real weirdos when it comes to their "leaks".

Right now it looks like the set only actually shows up on Amazon if you got to that GO hub page they made though.
This is correct, almost flipped out when I couldn't find it. This is the link if anyone wants: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0855748HF

Thanks for that!
I maybe in for this...
I really like that Barricade, & I was kind of wanting that Cybertronian car mode as well. Considering I’ve never had Punch/Counterpunch makes it that much more tempting.
This pack is the only way to get Punch/Counterpunch for less than $80 or $90 anymore so to me this is a heck of a deal.

Which is exactly why I'm getting it. I was going to skip Earthrise Barricade otherwise.

Isn't it a mis-transformation to get him that way in the first place?

More like extra steps that weren't included in the official transformation. First he has to be transformed the way the instructions say, and then the above mentioned steps to get him to look like that, I'm guessing. Once the arms are swapped, it will look pretty spot on.

Just got a shipping notice from Target for Runamuck and Fasttrack! They'll be here Sunday! :-D

Not sure what happened to Sunstreaker and Trailbreaker, looks like orders are still getting split up.

The reverse happened to me on Amazon, Trailbreaker and Sunstreaker went for being delivered whenever to in my hand earlier in the week. Everything else should be coming on the 4th.

I'm still on the fence about that 2 pack...
Man, if it was even just $30 I'd feel better about it.

Each figure would be 20 bucks in the store.

Yeah, and so many of these aren't worth that.
Even the ones I really like I know are overpriced...
Seriously, 5 deluxe figures are going to cost you $100+. That's just wrong.

It's the same price as every other adult-oriented action figure on that aisle. Marvel Legends, DC Multiverse, Ghostbusters Plasma Series, Star Wars Black Series, Power Rangers Lightning Collection.... I realize most of these are Hasbro properties but nonetheless that seems to be where the toy industry has landed.

Transformers are a better value, too, two toys in one. Except for RED, those are a bit of a ripoff for the same $20. They should be $15 like the Masters of the Universe Retro line. The MOTU figs are nicely articulated and have plenty of accessories. RED figures have barely any accessories, a simple aesthetic, and missing some articulation points found on other figures of the price range. How the 6" G.I. Joe line and RED can be the same price is mindboggling!

Amazon says mine should be here Wednesday so I'm expecting to get charged any day. In the meantime I'm waiting on Trailbreaker who should be here today.

Happy early b-day to me!!

My Prowl and Ironhide arrive tomorrow. Said the 4th this morning. My Gigawatt arrives Thursday. My son's Bluestreak arrived today.

I'm trying not to order wave 2 online, but I'm getting antsy. People are getting wave 3.

I have to gush a little bit more about Trailbreaker.

This is such a fantastic figure. First of all, the paint work is spotless, the black they used is perfect, and the mold is very crisp and smart. Posability is good, and I love all the extra options, such as the back piece, the shoulder weapons, and the hand gun option.

Transformation is quite good, love how it all works, even if the torso is slightly hollow.

I also appreciate how good the shield/back piece is, they put a lot of thought into that piece and how the figure worked. This mold is so good, so smart, so well done.

I think Cliffjumper might have been beaten as my favorite Earthrise deluxe. Trailbreaker is now my 3rd favorite Earthrise figure after Doubledealer and Sky Lynx

Anyone has Hasbro's announcement/release dates for all the waves? Would be good to sort of predict when Wave 4 would be released or at least announced.

There is no wave 4. There is potentially 1 more unrevealed item, whatever WFC-E28 ends up being.

Next up after wave 3 is Kingdom.

To add further detail, the toys that most likely will have belonged to wave 4 have been put as Exclusives (liks Thrust and Runabout, now Target Exclusives)

Thrust was discovered as a Target exclusive (via a shelf tag), so not him.

I consider Thrust and Runabout wave 4, They just happen to be Target exclusives in the US (and select retailers in other territory).

Anyway, I went to my local Target yesterday because of the sake, but like most stores they had every variety of ER except deluxe. I was able to find out their next shipment arrives on 11/12. But I eindi if it will be wave 2 or 3... Something tells me it will be wave 3, which would make wave 2 like wave 5 of TR - rare and skipped in most places, except Arcee which is getting a Kingdom re-relaase. I'm glad I got Airwave, but I think he, Allicin and Smokescreen are going to be sold for extremely inflated prices soon. Get them while you can if you want them.

Considering I don't believe there has ever been a previous wave that was only exclusives, I don't. I can't make my logic stretch that far just because the star map said 4 waves.
