I'm not sure where you are located, but I've seen a number of Wolfwires in Walgreens (Chicago area) while hunting for Wave 4.

"Call me what, you did? A big mistake mate, that was"
I don't think that the Wolfwire listing was a placeholder. Given that every other Deluxe from the first 2 waves has seen a re-release, it would make sense for WW to get one too - and I don't remember placeholder listings ever being a thing before, at least in TR? (I could be wrong on that though.) I'd say chances are still good of WW seeing re-release in Wave 5... the only thing then is, how many places are actually going to get Wave 5 in.

ScottyP wrote:Of course they could have "done more". This is almost always true. Will, you seem especially price conscious for these products throughout the various discussions on these boards. Would you be willing to pay $125-$150 for these sets if it meant more tooling? Hasbro likely has numbers to say that the aggregate of the fandom wouldn't.
Not seeing more retooling isn't laziness, it's cost control.

Ahhhhh, that was too good. Perfect image!

It's a good point. You've got TLK coming in hard over the next few weeks. I have a fear that anything else TF related (whether that's TR or otherwise) is going to get blindsided. That's not the end a great line like this deserves.

Honestly I like Nautica a lot better when I'm looking at her in a group shot. I actually think she looks more distinct from Brainstorm and Blurr when she's right next to them - which isn't the kind of thing that normally works that way!
And the Clones, I think, are a pretty lateral situation. I would've been equally happy with either slightly-above-Legends-class without TM compatibility, or straight-up Legends class with the ability to cart TMs around (which is what we're getting after all, it seems). Hypothetical best- and worst-case scenarios are above-Legends with TM compatibility, or Legends without TM compatibility, respectively - but either of the two most likely outcomes would have been alright with me.

It seems so strange that Takara is dragging it's heels with Kup & Hotrod. I guess they may have stopped or slowed down the line while the Movie 5 stuff is current. But I want to see what Takara Hotrod looks like and I want to seem them start repainting the later Titanmaster vehicles too. As many people have speculated their Kup may be quite different in colour too. it would be so strange to make Blurr and not Kup & Hotrod - they should reissue Japanese Blurr too as he's so hard to get and he's a nice complement to the other two.
Oh and taking on the idea of Boxed sets forever... There is always the idea of Flywheels from Blitwing to keep dredging up too as a possible item of inclusion. You might be able to make Siren/Loundmouth out of Hotrod too if you strip the pipes & Tail off and give him some roof lights and a nice paint job - he might need a new chest - but I think it can pass if it has too.

Question, just because I was there a few weeks ago: are you finding them in Walgreens that are actually in the city proper, or in walgreens around the suburbs or farther out? I went to both a walgreens and a target in the city proper and they had no TF;s whatsoever

Do you suppose this TM Rodimus Prime head tooling could be a hint that Takara will be doing a redeco of Hot Rod (with this alternate head) in the darker Rodimus Prime deco?

It is a big question on what's going on with Takara. Next figure is trypticon and he's not out for 6 months. They're sitting on a lot of good molds and retools and before anyone says "Takara doesn't do repaints" they do, they do a lot, they just don't do the ones Hasbro does. Does make me wonder if they're taking an indefinite hiatus for a while after Trypticon.
It took two and half years for them to release Skids. They teased a Jhiaxus and I was pumped for that and it never happened, Hell, were getting more Japanese characters from Hasbro than Takara, overlord, metalhawk, black shadow, the headmaster juniors.

Suburbs. I live in the Homewood and work in Northbrook. There are a ridiculous like 15 stores within 15 miles of each. I've also seen Brainstorm the most if you have missed out on him so far.

Thanks! The inner-city ones must just not carry the figures.
And Brainstorm was actually a figure I wasn't looking for. I love the thrilling 30 one I have

Turns out I was wrong too. This is the last Takara retail release of Rodimus

Oh, damnit!!!
Honestly, I actually like the figure even though it is literally Blurr with 2 wing pieces pressed into the arms. My honest first impression of Blurr was that his slim body could easily be used for a fembot.
