So, yes, if anyone trusts me and my eyes (which given my age, probably isn't a sure thing) Gnaw was the first single Wave 3 figure to sell out at BBTS.

I guess I'll have to army build through Target or something...

The legends class has been abundant in the US right? With Gnaw not being shortpacked, I am sure everyone will get as many as they need. Like how everyone out there who wanted to troop build bombshell was able to.

I wouldn't call Legends abundant, but they are the only part of TR that has an even remotely normal distribution.

i like breakaway better in that pic.

Yeah, the pre-orders are kinda going fast it seems. I put in for what I wanted this morning (wave 3 legends 3pk, Rodders and Triggerhappy) when I saw the email. They didn't even have pics at BBTS up yet (they do now).

Megs looks like a really cool mold, but I think I'll hold out for Blitzwing (if that is a happening thing) as I don't have one yet. I'm undecided on Cantankerous Prime, the mold looks all over the place with hits and misses, maybe if they make an Octane out of it (has that been confirmed or even rumored?).

octane and blitzwig have basically been confirmed

I know this will sound cruel, but I would rather you see them for yourself. Its one of those "once you see it, you wont believe you didnt before" type things. It is there in plain sight. I believe in you Kurona.

To be fair, it is the most subtle of all of them.

Doesn't look very stable since it's one piece on a hinge.

He said "subtle".

I know. I was just saying it didn't look stable.

I've only seen one PMOP in stores. No other wave 1 or 2 Leaders at all. Pretty weird. No wave 2 Voyagers yet either.

Wave 3 voyagers makes sense, they havent hit saturation. But the wave 1 leaders should have.

They have definitely hit saturation in Canada (which for anyone who cares, the case breakdown is 2 soundwaves per box)

Hit my local TRU this past weekend, and finally saw PMOP. I don't go there that often, so it could have been there a couple weeks for all I know.

Interesting note. The TRU has decent inventory, but the TFs aren't even in the TF aisle anymore. It used to share an aisle with other action figures, but it got pushed out. TMNT is completely on one side while Power Rangers are on the other. Thankfully the TF selection is still decent, but still no wave 2 deluxes.

After getting Fortress Maximus, I am having a hard time deciding who is my favorite toy of the line so far. Is it Blurr or.... Cerebros?

Seriously, the purchase was worth it for Cerebros. This guy is so much fun and I adore him.

Our good ol friend Chuck came out with a review of Titans Return Voyager Optimus Prime today. Although I know Peaugh was first, Chuck always deserves a look.

For those interested in the UK, Wave 3 is up for pre-orders on Kapow.

Cerebros also makes a great transtector for other Titan Masters!

Yes, but it's really close to the original G2 blaster.

Kurona wrote:Since the Seeker heads are all the same colour - from Screamer to Sunstorm to Slipstream - I'll be kind of surprised if Hasbro doesn't decide to make a Seeker head at some point. Whether through a Titan Master or on an actual Starscream figure.

In Generations, we've had them as deluxes twice, Legends, Legion, and Leader. Maybe voyager?

Just in time for Christmas then. Whoo!

Maybe. More often than not, from my experience, when they give an estimated date like November, the figures usually come in on the last day.

Man, how long ago was that leak? Do we have leaks for wave 4 and beyond? I know we have a list of all the figures we're getting but the visual cements it for me.


For my part, I preordered TWINFERNO (best new name ever) and Triggerhappy, two characters I had never heard of before (even though apparently at least the former is in MTMTE, I must not be observant) because they look hella dope. I may drop the preorders because shipping is a lot, but I wanted to get them in before they were pre-sold out so I could have time to safely think it over. I still haven't found wave 2 in the wild outside of Walgreens, and speaking of which, I returned to my first two stores today to find that one was completely sold out of deluxe TFs (suggesting that Brainstorm may have come and gone?) while the other had only a single Wolfwire, which I think is close to or the same as it had last week. Only sighting in Georgia I've heard is waaaaay south of me so eh.

I'm sure were getting an Overlord ( with ramps and such in his blocky toy version) this late Christmas or by new year (2017)
Anyone Excited for Topspin?

I'm just pleased that it seems Hot Rod can transform just fine leaving that stomach area filled in cos that bothers me on the official transformation. I'll certainly get him (but as usual waiting for Takara's attempt before choosing) but I'll pass on the others. I been after an updated Hot Rod for years but that's pretty much it for me with Titans. I've already sold Hardhead, Highbrow and Chromedome and considering selling Takara's Scourge (keeping Takara Blurr to pose with Hot Rod) and very little else appeals to me at moment. I'll probably next feel excited about Transformers toys when the new movie stuff starts appearing in shops but for now I feel kinda done.

Weird. Leader Prime and Blaster are both shelf warming in northern Indiana areas.

Um, Wave 3 is Sixshot (expected in December 2016), and wave 4 is Black Shadow (likely in Feb/March 2017). I don't think Overlord has been officially announced yet, so I have no idea why you would be sure it will be out in Dec 2016/Jan 2017. Was your comment off by a year? Seems like wave 5 (likely May/June 2017) would be the earliest slot he would fit into.

overload has been offically revealed

Revealed or announced. There is a huge difference.
