For Earthrise, Hasbro has apparently increased the cases from 2 to 3 figures, which may eventually lead to some shelfwarming if they did not pick wisely on who gets shortpacked.
Here are the wave breakdowns:
Wave 1 - 2x Grapple and 1x Starscream
Wave 2 - 2x Snapdragon and 1x Starscream
Wave 3 - 2x Megatron and 1x Quintesson.
Massive boooo on wave 3. Hopefully Target will come through on the Quintessons I ordered.
Also, Entertainment Earth has Wave 1 battle master sets with Smashdown and Soundbarrier up for pre-order, but no individuals.

Wave 3 sucks hard. I spent all of last year seeing unsold megatrons, looks to be the same this year.
Although, it could be that there is another wave where Quintesson is also 1 and the other voyager is 2 (like another seeker of something). That could balance things around.

This...doesn't make sense? Unless that "Wave 2" you found is a revision wave, that shouldn't be right, the WFC numbers say Snapdragon and Quintesson should be in the same wave before Megatron's release (21 & 22 versus 38), plus Hasbro's own preorder dates have Snapdragon and Quintesson coming out at the same time two months before ol' Megs shows up.

Edit: BBTS has all of wave 2 in July, so maybe there's some inconsistent communication.

They aren't selects, but even if they were, why would these 2 get an oh-so small markup as selects, when everything released under Selects so far was for regular retail pricing?

having fun with Leader Prime & Astrotrain (my first Earthrise Figures). Prime is fun, and definitely evokes the original, though slightly smaller. Astrotrain was a PAIN to transform the first time, anyone else feel like his waist flaps were going to break, or that the hinges around the shuttle section just wouldn't line up? It all came together eventually, but man...was I worried.
I put them on my sons shelf. We haven't purchased any Leaders from the last two lines basically (aside from the Exclusive SDCC Throne of the Primes), but man are they tiny in comparisonfor obvious reasons.
I am curious now about Doubledealer. I mean, lets not kid ourselves. PotP had the *evolution* gimmick, but Siege was basically the same thing. Earthrise Prime is kind of an outlier because while the trailer does have a base mode, there is obviously no way to combine it to Prime himself. I'm, thinking Doubledealer will be the first honest-to-goodness full sized Leader from Generations we've had since...TR Overlord? (not counting TT stuff) but you get the idea.
And the chest compartment looks to be the larger one from Soundblaster so hopefully it is easier to open with a cassette inside than Soundwave.o.supreme wrote:Sorry poor wording, Doubledealer *may* be the first actual full sized leader in nearly 3 years. However unlike PotP & Siege which filled out there packaging with other *stuff* I guess the Missle would be the filler if Doubledealer is indeed smaller.
Also I think its neat they are giving Doubledealer that small compartment to hold WFC scaled cassettes (in lieu of the Powermaster Gimmick). I can just see he and Soundwave/Sounblaster having all sorts of tape swapping madness

I hope it's even bigger than SoundBlaster's chest, so you can ACTUALLY fit two tapes in simultaneously, lol!

Seriously, put the tapes in soundblasters chest at your own risk

So Doubledealer will be a LEADER class?
Sweet!
Even though he'll be voyager sized, I bet he will be pretty dense and massive, like Astrotrain. I compared Titan Return voyager Astrotrain to Siege Leader Astrotrain and it's a baffling comparison. TR voyager is taller than the S Leader. But that voyager is a rachitic TWIG compared to the leader, who feel and look THICC like a barrel.
Yup, modern leaders are small in size, but in hand, they don't feel "small" at all.

Eh. On the plus side he's a triple changer and will presumably be smaller than TR Overlord, who SHOULD tower over his (well his and her, if you go by Masterforce canon) cronies.
