As always thanks for a great review!

I'm torn with this mold. I'm not getting the regular release as the Amazon one is pre-ordered. I'm just not sure I like it. The gorilla arms are a major bummer. I am glad to see some bulk in this figure though.

The soft rubber usage is atrocious and wish the stupid red spikes on his back were left out.

I'm wondering if they can be cut off or melted in some way as to not destroy the entire piece. Lopping them off with a pair of scissors is not going to work. :-?

Slog's tail in robot mode needs to tab or fold down on his legs. It just looks as bad as the feathers covering the groin on Slash.

Does anyone know if the stores in SC should have the wave 2 toys by now? Because if the line is only going to the end of the year, that's not much time to get all of them out considering we've got wave 3 and a bunch of platinum sets.

Walmart.com has the AOE Deluxe Strafe with legends Bumblebee and Stinger set up for pre-order. Expected release date is August 25th. By the way, did anyone know about the Constructbots set of Strafe with Dino Rider Bumblebee and Stinger (new head)?

Stinger does not appear to have a new head, unfortunately.

Why was I at the wrong place at the wrong time??? :sad:

Hmm, I know it uses the same Bumblebee head from the set, but that head doesn't look like the one from the single pack Dino Rider.

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! :grin:

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.

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?
