That would amount to... 2*$20 + 4*$30 + 2*$50 = $260 give or take.
Oh yeah, we are actually looking at $100 more than any Titan class figure. The heft of this guy is gonna be immense, he's gonna need all 4 limbs to stand
Nah, just wait for sales and/or clearance prices and I bet we pay less than half of that.
Sorry man, I have no intention of waiting for sales to get them. These are higher priority figures, a Transforming movie Devastator is something I am voting on with my wallet

Waiting for eight figures to go on clearance is a massive gamble I'm not willing to make. What if you wait and a few of them never hit clearance and sell out? I wasn't willing to do that in CW or PotP with even five figures, I definitely wont be doing that with eight. I made that mistake with Playmates Voltron 84 and now I can't find a Red Lion online for under $50 to save my life (the rest can still be found easily at MSRP). Nope, I'm buying each Constructicon on sight.

But funny enough, I only saw Crankcase once. I have seen Sideswipe more often than any other SS deluxe from this wave, and even that was only 3 times.

For me, Sideswipe and Clunker Bumblebee have been the most rare. First one I saw was Crankcase. Then Barricade. Then WWII Bumblebee. I've only seen Sideswipe and Clunker Bee once, and bought them on site, along with my second sighting of WWII Bee. Now, I only see more Crankcases and Barricades.
Does anyone know off hand what the ratio is for this wave? Having five different figures is awkward, but if Hasbro is smart, they did two each of Sideswipe, Barricade, and Crankcase and left the two different Bumblebees at one a piece.

It is odd. When this line was first release, I said I'd purchase a combining Jetfire & Optimus if they ever made one. I also said I'd definitely get Devastator. 2 componants are out, and the rest are coming. Lastly, when Cogman was first announced, I thought it was novel (but not likely), that it would just be a TLK re-release (which it basically is with improved paint detail).
As of now, I've seen in store all the ones I said I'd purchase, and purchased None of them. Unfortunately my priorities are some very pricey items from the Legends line, and Siege. I just dont have the funds for this line as well. Additionally, the numeration of the series is something that makes it an *all or nothing* thing for me as well. The last TF line with dedicated numbers I was drawn into was Alternators. I loved that line, and there virtually were no limits, i wish it had continued. SS will, I see, have a finite number of entries, at least until the next Live Action TF movie comes out.
I mean there are definitely anomalies in this line, and extenders such as having all triple changing characters released twice in different modes, cause they cant seem to figure out a triple changer for SS...
But with nearly 50 entries in the line...where does anyone see this line ending? Even for arguments sake, if they end up re-releasing all TLK Deluxe, Voyagers, and Leaders as part of the SS line, do you think they will reach 100 before the next movie comes out? I suppose they could dig deep and release renditions of everyone from the first 3 minute sequence from BB.

If I'm remembering correctly, Clunker Bee and Crankcase were the 2 short packed for the wave.
Nathaniel Prime wrote:My Walmart used to have plenty of each of that wave's deluxe. Barricade, Clunker Bee, Sideswipe, Crankcase, and WW2 Bee.
Now, all that's left is Barricade and Crankcase, who join the shelf warming resident Dropkick, the remainder of POTP, and the overpriced G1 Prime.
Siege consists of the Battlemasters, Micromasters, and the wave 1 deluxes.
I'm waiting for Siege Megatron to turn up there, so I can use my giftcard on him. Otherwise, I'd half to go to Target him, with Prime

I'm curious if we will see that. Considering we got the MPM 2007 Bee, and then now we are getting the MPM Megatron, it makes me wonder if they are planning to make SS versions of these since the MPMs are already out for them. the other MPMs either came out at the same time or after their respective SS version (except Prime, but it's Prime), so I'm curious.
I am begging for Dino and Wreckers though, come on give us those!
