The Classic Camaro looks a bit more "yellow". Too bad he doesn't have translucent windows but I'm keeping my fingers crossed on the head's deco.

Weibo user Notrab is at it again with his slow reveal of the Bumblebee Evolution Three Pack. The user posted an image of the three toys in car mode, but only showing the back of the cars. It at least confirms which molds are being used, which we previously deduced. Let us know in the boards if that is enough for you to distinguish any differences from the previous releases.

Uh, I really hope that that big gap on the back of that TLK bee is just the product of mistransformation.

What gap?

Looks accurate to the movie.

He is referring to how the back windows dont line up. I think its not collapsed enough.

I see, the rear window is slightly unseated.

The classic Camaro doesn't seem to have the rust spots that dissuaded me from buying it the first time.

YES.

[Carnivius_Prime]

Bah, why the non-transparent windows version of the first Bee?

Also give us the damn single pack TLK new Deluxe alreadyyyyyyy! I have money in my hand which I want to give to Hasbro right this very second but they don't seem to want it. What's up with that?

Wave 2 hasnt even reached saturation yet, so no reason sores would stock on wave 3 when they still have a ton of wave 2 to sell.

As mentioned in the UK sightings thread I can hardly even find Wave 2 around these parts. Argos has Wave 2 deluxes at silly £24.99 price. Everywhere else here (Forbidden Planet, The Entertainer, Tesco, Toys R Us etc) only has Wave 1. So when the heck will I see that Bee that's so for me.

I'll have to stick to using online stores like Kapow I suppose but it is a joy when you see a TF figure you want to purchase ACTUALLY on a shelf or peg in front of you when you visit a store.

Oh man TOTALLY! I was overjoyed when I saw all these figures up for grabs all at once at Toysrus.

Your Bludgeon was stuck in my head a lil bit cos I DID look out for him partially out of curiosity I guess but no new RID stuff I could see (not that I would recognise much of it cos it generally doesn't interest me but I would certainly notice that Bludgeon even though I stated it's probably not for me).

But yeah NO NEW TRANSFORMERS 'ROUND THESE HERE PARTS!

[Kurona]

This has been yet another chapter in "being a Transformers fan in the UK kinda sucks".

Where's my goddamn RiD Ratchet wave.

Doesn't always suck. I had Deluxe Sqweeks and Voyager Megatron way before most folk here and I love them both muchly. Sure, Megs came from Kapow but Sqweeks was an Argos purchase.

Just if they could even show some consistency...

[Va'al]

Fellow Seibertronian megatronus sends us a sighting of Transformers: The Last Knight leader class Optimus Prime (but no wavemate Megatron as yet) from the Forbidden Planet store in New York City. With the caveat that Forbidden Planet does not usually stock items via the same channels as other retailers, we expect larger, actual general retail stores to offer the Autobot and Decepticon leaders soon.

If you come across them, make sure to use the Sightings Database and the regional sightings forums to let other fans know - and happy hunting!

I haven't seen anything past Wave 1 in Eastern Tennessee. My Target store has things like TLK Bumblebee, Slash, Barricade, Berserker, and Grimlock, and TR Bumblebee, Chromedome, Hotrod, Triggerhappy, Optimus Prime and Megatron...

Yep, same TLK and same Titans waves here too although with the addition of Broadside next to the Optimus Prime and Megatron Titans figures

[Dr. Caelus]

We had Broadside for a while, but he eventually sold out and they restocked with Optimus and Megatron...

Yeah i hadn't seen him before today. Am not interested in the figure but it was nice to see SOMETHING that hasn't been clogging up those shelves for ages (the wave 3 Titans Deluxes have been there 'forever' even at the discount prices)

I saw leader optimus and megs at Target last Saturday. I didnt know this was news. I passed cause I want voyager megs which I havent seen yet.

Knowing your taste, I would suggest just sticking with the movie toys instead of getting this Bludgeon. I know you dont like the animated toys and he is a lot like them and works well with them aesthetically. But since they are not part of your collection, this bludgeon might stick out like a sore thumb.

I dunno. He looks a bit too lacking in chin to fit with Animated.

And yeah I liked some clever aspects of certain Animated toys when I bought that huge lot cheap that I sold off seperately (made good profit cos the previous owner couldn't be bothered and just wanted rid in one lot) but aesthetically nope not my thing, you're right. I actually do think wildly different styles of Transformers whether Animated or Movie have forced Hasbro and Takara to up their game in ways and come up with new ideas and solutions in making the designs work in transformable toy form and those lil bits of cleverness benefit the brand as a whole when designing new toys.

Yup, big news. If anyone has pics of the toys in store or of the receipt, please send that to us so we can news it

It's strange how there is an Optimus with his weapon in Energised shield mode and another with it in blaster mode - but not one with it in it's fully compacted storage mode.

I'm rather amused by Optimus still having the wrong sword though. they just painted it a bit better. worth £10 or so for a replacement i'd say with the options being a plastic or metal one or a harder to find campaign one. - speaking of weapon oddities you can get reproductions of Bee's hammer now made of metal but they may be more voyager sized than suitable for bee at 15.5cm and the other 2 sizes are huge one is 22cm long and the other is 18cm - They also do an an 18cm Optimus sword and an 18cm Megatron one too also all metal.

The giant Golden version of the Optimus sword seems like an ideal weapon for a combiner to me.

I've not got a good enough look at the packaging yet - but if they were not so dangerous looking i'd be wondering if they were licensed as they are covered in hologram like stickers and look licensed (or good at faking looking licensed). I wish someone had done the Optimus Sword from TF Prime in metal - just because it's a nice sword.

Perhaps I'll buy one of the idiotically sized hammers and give it to TFC "Starcats" Dinoking or someone else who looks like they'd hit people with giant yellow hammers for fun.

Animated Bludgeon was gonna be a pirate anyway.

[Kotori_Sonoda]

Got Sqweeks. Scale's not too bad.

How much are Skullitron/Megs there in the US?
Here in the PH we got them at $36...
