£50 for a £10 toy :shock:

I knew Shockwave would be popular but I didn't realise he would be that popular. To make it worse, it doesn't look like he'll even appear in UK stores

Guys just wait, This is how scalpers make money, they prey on fans who are too eager. Jus wait for it to reach sauration and pick him up ins tores for 10 pounds. Canada hasnt recieved him yet either and I am just waiting. No need to encourage anyone do keep doing a business practice I dont agree with.

What we're saying is that it probably will not make it to stores at all (usual story etc etc). So a lot of people are pouncing on any opportunity they can - I don't agree either, but it's more likely that it'll reach Canada than the UK in the foreseeable future.

Oh sorry to hear that. Is there any indication of that? Or is this just based on the fact that previous waves were not bought. I am hoping for you that the fact that this is labelled as Wave 1 will encourage retailers in getting it since it will count as a new start to yearly products on shelves.

At least I would advise people in the UK to at least wait until it reaches saturation in the US and then nab him on e-bay. Shipping included, I can see it going to 20-25 pounds, but that is a better alternative. Hell, if it comes to canada, I can get it for you guys! I would wait a month or two and if it still hasnt shown up, write me a message and I will see if there are any in stores.

Haha, it is pretty neat! Though the pictures of the toys do not match wholely up with the actual placement in the picture. But still, really neat stuff

Looks cool but it's definitely a digibash. The colors are wrong on the torso, head, drillhorn and killbison

Also found some completed artwork:

Thanks to Twitter Handler Hobby Drifter, We now have a finished image of the potential Combiner Wars Liokaiser! As many of you remember, there was a sighting not too long ago where some of the image was shown off, but now we have the completed image. What do you guys think? Fact or myth?? Sound off in the comments section below, and keep tuned in for all the Transformers information you can ever hope to find!

So That's where that head came from. Interesting

And here's something funny: when first leaked via Gen. Scourge's instructions, some of us thought it was Leozack :lol:

So, Deathsaurus is going to be teal... not sure how I feel about this |:|

If I may say, that digibash is fun to look at, and you were right! no good source! However, that image finishes what we've been looking for for a while, and with the looks of that gun, I'd say the 6th member is a Shockwave heavy retool by the looks of it. Maybe Powerglide, but it looks like a revamped Wave.

If you are referring to the digibash, then don't worry about that, it's not real as far as I could find. But the artwork sure is awesome! and uh, Deathsaurus is not on the team... :-D

If it makes you feel better it looks like there's a fair amount of black on him too.

Except Deathsaurus is 'confirmed' to be the torso, as far as I know - unless that's changed in the last couple of days :HEADHURTS:

The identity of the torso has not been confirmed by an official source yet. Sky Lynx's beast mode may point to Deszaras, but the colors point to Leozack. Also, keep in mind retooling will be done as the head design is not an exact match compared to Sky Reign's.

So is this art fake or not? Is the torso currently considered to be Deathsaurus? (those rumors have been right about everything else, right?)

Whoa whoa what??? How did I miss something like that! especially when they have 2 different guys to choose from for a torso, like Leozack!

The art looks pretty legit so I would say it's true and I would just go ahead and assume that Deathsaurus is the torso

So far, both art pieces (Liokaiser and Computron) seem to be legit. But concrete info about the sets is still unavailable.
