I always thought that they should have done a combinerwars vehicon combiner.
Cyclonus as jetstorm
Rook as strika
Groove as thrust
Blades as obsidion
And brawl as tankor
But whatever...

It's more likely to be an SDCC exclusive. It has the boxset name on it too, an indivual instruction sheet, and it is leaking at the exact same time that SDCC boxset components leak (like the arcee redeco 2 years back).

If so, I'm guessing Hasbro will jump the sharkticon and give us a TR Windblade in some one-off deco.

Quick heads up guys, the Seige on Cybertron set is SOLD OUT at BBTS

So glad I bought it day 2. Also confirmed my theory that the order of products is based on current stock.

What do you mean by that second part? How can it be current if its a preorder and not arrived yet?

Poor word choice on my part, available preorders would be the proper term (I think). During the 2 days available to preorder, its ranking started high on the first page of TR products, but slowly descended to the second page and most likely the third, before running out of preorders. The highest figures are the big tickets that don't move, but below are case assortments of older waves and generally less liked figures. That's where my theory comes from, and I am almost certain it is true from the data I gathered during the open preorders for seige on cybertron.

Then I will cut right to the chase and ask you if, through your theory, this would mean that there will be no more sets available once Hasbro send them the boxsets?
Is it just the preorder that is sold out, or should fans really start looking at other international outlets?

I'd say to look elsewhere for now. Wait till mid June then check back. If not, they will almost certainly have some available to order after the preorders ship.

EDIT: if this truely is a BBTS exclusive, Hasbro will definitely send more.

Thanks for your opinions And I can confirm, this is truly a BBTS exclusive... in the US. Meaning that other countries will have their own outlets but in the US proper, you can only buy it through them.

its available elsewhere in Canada, for instance:

Wow that didn't take long. Not even a week.

Are you kidding? It has the takara PMOP but without ugly white, and is also 2/3 of the price and comes with extra figures if you're only after Optimus.

I just checked and it's in stock. Maybe someone canceled?

Not surprised it sold out (which is why I PO'd day 1), but thought it would take a little longer than a week.

I think Takara's Super Ginrai has the better color scheme. I think the overload of blue is more ugly than the white. Also, the Takara color scheme is actually accurate to Ginrai's animation model from Super God Masterforce.

Glad to know its back in stock, is anyone preordering it now.

I think this is the most plausible. Not counting Liokaiser, since he was a platinum release, combiner wars had 5 box sets so it would make sense for them to keep it consistent. 6 waves and 5 box sets per line (that's a lot of figures).

No idea who would be in this box set though. G2 Meg's seems obvious for at least one of the spots but who else? Leader class is out of uses besides Soundblaster and Twincast

When people like you say box sets, it sounds like baseball card sets. There are two differences. The set of baseball cards for a current year are cheaper, and the box sets are based on characters that aren't real. Though it would be nice if AI was that advanced.

Then get coding. I expect a maniacle war robot AI that can build a machine to make other AI's that will follow its command by reprogramming existing appliances.

Then maybe they'll be able to make toys and sell them for lower amounts than lots of companies do.

Just looked again (looking up Legends Trypticon) and it is sold out...

It truly was a cancelled order then.

Yea, I've seen it pop in and out of stock a few times today while randomly checking for other things. It's currently out of stock. If you're on the fence, better hope there's another cancellation and best to jump on it if there is.

Can someone please tell me what coding is?

Back IN STOCK at BBTS!

Jason5billion wrote:Can someone please tell me what coding is?

Computer programming. Incidentally that has nothing to do with the topic of this thread

And is BBTS playing Red Light or something? Or are they dividing the batch up in smaller orders that get sold out quickly, to avoid a server crash?
