[Nathaniel Prime]

Finally, a meme to express how I feel toward people who try to justify 60$ Legends class figures, but give flak towards a 50$ Siege Shockwave.

[Nemesis Primal]

Edit: and now I've realized I'll probably have to pay more, now that I've noticed she's an Amazon Prime Exclusive, which is a pain in the ****ing neck. Guess I'm getting her second hand. Damn it Hasbro I skipped Nemesis Prime because of this but I'm already too far gone as far as Orthia is concerned so I just have to keep going.

This confuses me, why would you have to pay more? If you already have it in your cart, I would assume that you have Prime, so why would it suddenly cost more than the usual price for this kind of exclusive? The other Amazon exclusive Deluxes were $25 like Greenlight is, and Nemesis was retail price for a Leader upon release. I would understand if you didn't have Prime, but you lost me.

And the list of reasons to flog Jeff Bezos continues to grow...

Hey where does that Orthia name come from? I know I’ve heard that in reference to the female Autobots before.

And I should clarify I referred to Elita Infin1te by another name in the article it’s just my preference as I think the other lacks a little oomph, coulda used a little more imagination there.

So you think 1337speak is better than being named after a deity?

Orthia comes from SIEGE promotional material, and is specific to Elita combining with the other Female Autobots. Elita Infin1te is the "combined with whoever" name.

[Stargrave]

But Orthia just sounds like an angry old lunch lady's name. Lots of names come from theological origins that doesn’t make them necessarily not suck. I think a whole new name would have been best, not really either of the others.
“Another scoop of the mystery meat there please Orthia...” yikes.

[william-james88]

I'm starting to fear I won't be able to get my hands on Skywarp.

Was it the current Prime ordeal that scared you off, or was it the price tag?

I'm gonna guess Prime.

Prime exclusives suck. some of us do not order enough from amazon to justify Prime or don't worry about it or need it or even want it. So it sucks that it's a Prime members only thing, and that'll be bad news if others follow the trend.

So far, the prime exclusives for TFs were only temporary. They eventually get tossed to the lowly masses. These are still mass market toys afterall, the production number is pretty high and they will have to get rid of them eventually.

Yeah, well, that's you.

I think Orthia sounds cool. So nyeh.

I was just trying to get a chuckle out of you dude

[Seibertron]

The Amazon.com exclusive Transformers War for Cybertron SIEGE Deluxe Class Greenlight with Battle Master Dazzlestrike is now available publicly for pre-order on Amazon.com. This item is due to be officially available on June 25th, 2019 (today) so the page may switch from a pre-order to a regular product listing later today.

Some clever Transformers fans were able to figure out how to trick Amazon into adding this item to our shopping carts early by adding the item to our Wish Lists (as described here). Shipping notifications have already gone out to those who were able to trick Amazon.com a short time ago.

If you want to get your hands on the latest Amazon.com exclusive, click here or on any of the images below.

Some people were able to order the figure yesterday and are getting delivery today while some of us who pre-ordered in May won't see the figure until Thursday.

[Emerje]

Free one day shipping with Prime, yet I ordered Monday and it isn't scheduled to arrive until Thursday. We'll see what happens.

Finally, a meme to express how I feel toward people who try to justify 60$ Legends class figures, but give flak towards a 50$ Siege Shockwave.

I'm terribly guilty of this.

"$60 5" Japanese anime figure? I can't hit the pre-order hard enough!"
"$90 Japan exclusive Leader class figure? Take my money!"
"$50 retail Leader from Hasbro? I'll wait for a sale..."

I actually did both- preorder in May, preorder yesterday (one to keep in package), and both are arriving today.

[Lunatic Prime]

On Amazon.de, too

Yeah well some of us managed to order it yesterday and won’t ship till July so I ain’t sympathizing with you getting it Thursday

I have Prime. I can order you one.

Not my picture, but you can totally get creative with Siege Refraktor:

I love this alternative mode for 3 Refraktors, it's beautiful

I like it. No need to transform them into an earth looking camera if that's your config.

[RiddlerJ]

Still disappointed they didn't make Dazzlestrike a different color. Why color him almost exactly like Lionizer?

[ThunderThruster]

She doesn't appear to available in the UK yet, not that that would change me not having Amazon Prime though.

I've found with Amazon that quite often things arrive ahead of schedule, especially if you have prime. I ordered yesterday as well and up until this morning it said it would arrive Thursday, but then changed to today, so who knows, you both might end up getting it sooner than you think.

[o.supreme]

Well that's odd, but cool. For months, no news on when Greenlight is going to arrive, other than dubious pre-orders on various countries Amazon sites, and now BAM it's here. I never thought I'd see a link last night, and be getting it as early as Thursday....

I wonder if the Lancer release will come as fast, and without preamble. IIRC with last years Amazon exclusives, the first one came pretty quickly, and the others were all released about a month apart during the summer months (or winter if your in the southern hemisphere ....I guess fans will be searching Amazon pre-orders now for Lancer & Skywarp.

Also I'm glad the price was not inflated $25 ($20 for the Deluxe and $5 for the Battlemaster). I can deal with that.

Mine still says July right now. It’s fine. I don’t mind. It did get me to take Novastar and Moonracer off the shelf last night. I really look forward to making Orthia if we get lancer. I don’t mind all the same limbs. I think it’ll look pretty cool.

I still really would like this mold revisited or the Chromia one extensively retooled into Rung. It’s got the right kibble and proportions for him. It’s the first thing I thought when I got
Moonracer a year ago. I transformed her a few times and said “this could be Rung”

[DecepticonFinishline]

Hope I can talk my coworker into ordering it for me (using my card, of course). Don't have Prime anymore, so I'm SOL unless I find someone willing to let me use their profile.

I would wager Lancer will be next year with part two of the War for a Cybertron trilogy

Do you know if this is a legit combination or are they just loosely placed together?

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Dazzlestrike has the blade painted the same green as Greenlight, while Lionizer has it plain, good spotting. I hear you, if they can redeco the other Battle Masters, why not him?

Speaking of which, what's the official spelling? The box has both: one "z" on front and two on the back.
