Meanwhile, my local TrU went straight to the New Bee wave, never ever restocking Locknown nor Jazz, nor Megatron, nor Brawl.

Well that's lame cos those wave 2 figures are all pretty darn good. Well I don't have Brawl yet but I really bloody should at some point.

He's fun and a trip to transform without being fiddly

Much like we've previously seen for the Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM-7 Volkswagen Bumblebee here, the official Italian Facebook page for the Transformers brand has shared a stop motion video review for the Studio Series Blackout figure (Italy is a little behind on releases, we know, though the clip is from August).

You can check out the full clip embedded below, created by Ditoni, and let us know what you think of this new approach to marketing that the international brand teams are doing for the toys!

or not, as I choose not to news this after all - still cool though!

Nice. Still prefer this one though.

Forgot to mention Kapow Toys has the Drift Dinobot set up for pre-order for those of us in the UK at cost of £27.97 (plus postage) which is basically the usual Deluxe price plus a few quid for the dinos so that sounds fair enough to me.

That's not a bad price for drift, while on holiday in Scarborough, I came across a toy shop selling tlk drift for £22.99...sp compared to that its not bad at all

Yeah, you can often come across the TLK figure for much cheaper in clearance and such but yeah that's what the usual price was for that figure and I much prefer the deco on this one plus obviously the dinos, extra sword, big backdrop and it being a numbered Studio release. So yeah I can see me getting this set especially since I didn't get TLK Drift anyways (I still have the blue AoE figure).

Well someone's been watching Jobby the Hong (and others)

I dug it (I think there was supposed to be a light-hearted sense of humor to the clip?). I wish Hasbro US wouldn't take themselves so damn seriously. Jeez, they are toys after all.

Also, who knew Scorponok was so full of love. Them Decepticons are so misunderstood

Jobby, Italia edition!
I dig it.
I even understood like... 10% of it just because Italian is a language in the same family as French, like Spanish.

It is always unsure whic retailers will be getting exclusives outside the US since not all countries have the same retailers, more than ever now with even Toysrus no longer being a centralized coorporation. Entertainment Earth is the exclusive retailer for both Studio Series 36 Drift and Baby Dinobots Studio Series 15 Bumblebee with Charlie, aka Rebakah's Garage, in the US, but now we know more about who will get these toys outside.

Kapow Toys in the UK currently has Drift on preorder for £27.97.

As for Rebekah's Garage, this release was recently spotted at Toysrus in Canada, meaning this is the exclusive retailer for that set in that country. The price take there is $40 CAD.

We are still unaware of who will get Drift in Canada or that Bumblebee set in the UK but at least we know these exclusives are being found outside the US.

All except for Megatron can be ordered at Walmart.ca

and at the same time has the last knight crosshairs and strafe on shelves

The Entertainer in UK still has a sale on many Studio Series figures.

Of note here are Jazz and Lockdown are listed as available at £16.80 each which is a great price for people still trying to track these two down.

Yes there are Wave 3 figures being listed there with the sale prices too but are listed as 'out of stock' I'd be very surprised if they'd had even had those in stock during this aale and also if this price applies when they are in stock. Cos it seems silly to have new product instantly price reduced... although I did find it odd that my nearest Entertainer had that sale on as soon as they'd stocked their shelves with wave 1 and the sale is still going so who knows?

The Garage set has been listed on this UK site for a lil while but also said 'ship in September' and obviously we're well into October now so who knows?

Has anyone seen the engine under SS Ratchet's chest? In bot mode, it's behind the movable bumper part. Looks like a top view of a modern V8 engine. Cool.

[Carnivius_Prime]

Aw nuts the first one I ordered that I been trying to get my money back for finally turned up nearly 2 months after the seller marked the ebay order as dispatched. I don't need two. I need my moneyyy

What are you going to do? Try and resell the one that arrived by the slowest mailing service in history?

Gonna sell it... still hope to get my money back or at least a partial refund for just how misleading and slow the delivery was. Have to wait til my eBay dispute I opened last friday is closed. Can't sell it for full amount I paid obviously cos I ordered it before it was properly released and so I paid more but will see what happens.

I've had SS VW Bee for a little while now, and I think he's really good! It's kinda finicky getting him into vehicle mode, but after a couple transformations it's not so bad. I don't think it dethrones SS Camaro Bee as my favorite deluxe Bumblebee, but I'm liking it even more than I thought I would!

I hope Studio Series continues for a long time, It's easily my favorite Transformers line ever

Glad you like it.
I agree with much of this. Studio has certainly been my fave TF line and the one I've bought most figures brand new from any TF line since G1.

Um. So. Ebay refunded my full amount because like me, they got no response from the seller at all. Which means I got the very late toy, and the money i originally paid for it. So I got a freebie (free-Bee)? I dunno how I feel about that. I just wanted my money back and the seller did do a lot of things wrong but I didn't want them out of pocket. I just wanted it to be like the sale never happened. Now I ended up with both and so if I sell the originally ordered Bee I would then have profited which makes me feel kinda bad I guess. I dunno.

That's an odd situation...its a nice gesture I guess.

This sort of happened with me and Cogman last year. He arrived 3 weeks after he was supposed to from a Chinese seller, but that seller said he would come and to be patient and he arrived.

I've learned with those Chinese sellers, time is extremely inconsistent. I got that MPM Barricade (which ended up being a KO and wasn't advertised as such) in about a week and a half, but Cogman took almost 2 full months.

So what will you do with the leftover Bee?
