bbts has his case at a reasonable price if you don't have an onslaught, but finding him at retail is probably pretty satisfying

I swear... If this shows up in my area before Onslaught, I will lose my effing mind.

come to seattle sky lynx

At this point, a UK release of him seems pretty dubious.

Any american seibertronians feel like helping a guy out? It'd be way cheaper to get him a US retail and ship him over than to get him from £37 off ebay.

No idea how I'm gonna get a shockwave either.

It's very tempting. I've gone to complete my order several times only to change my mind bc I have the UW Bruticus on preorder on there already.
Finding him on the hunt will truly feel great as well like you said.

Well, considering he's packaged with onslaught, that should be a little difficult... Just give it time, wave 1 has to show up at some point, right? Right?

i think it was a missed opportunity, that Liokaiser wasn't there at the toyfair.

At first I was dissapointed at the lack of Computron and Liokaiser, but now I realize why they weren't announced. With all the stuff currently revealed, (assuming every year has four waves), what would Botcon have to show besides Brainstorm, Astrotrain, Trion, and (rumored, and is the last TR figure the TP predicted that hasn't been shown yet) Weirdwolf?

Which opportunity did they miss?
They wanted to focus on the TR line for the collector's and RID for the kids.
Also CW would have been a bit too much. That tehy'll show at Botcon.

There's also the leader figure to go with Soundwave as well as the legends class such as Ravage and Frenzy (or whichever one is the blue one this time).

I don't really buy that, given that every CW leader wave except Wave 1 had 1 leader class in it.

And yea, I had forgotten about Ravage and Rumble (I don't care what Hasbro says, he's the blue one).

I'm probably one of the few people that really likes and is looking forward to the leader class figures, so is there confirmation that Soundwave will have a wave mate?

Nope no confirmation, though I really hope there is at least one other fully new mold for TR's leader class. There were 2 last year (Megs and Ultra Magnus), and in total 5 Leaders (G1 Megs, Armada Megs, Ultra Magnus, Thundercracker, Starscream) so I hope we get something similar this year. So far in 2016 we only have one fully new mold (Blaster) and 4 revealed Leaders in the Generations line (Skywarp, Claster, PMOP and Soundwave). It would be fun to have at least one more new Leader Class mold, even if its only in 2017.

Oh and as you pointed out (I think), Botcon can always reveal that New Megatron and Laser Prime and Bumblebee that will be coming out, as well as Gen Reflector, which was also rumoured.

Well if there's going to be 4 waves we can at least have 2 more leader figures coming down. I can realistically see Overlord happening since he had a base mode before and I think someone on here mentioned that he could be retooled into a star saber. So there's your new mold and then a retool of said mold. Unrealistically I would like a Nova and Zeta prime. But I suppose this would be better suited for a different thread

btw they should invent a new class! coz up to now we've had Legion, Legends, Deluxe, Voyager, Leader & Titan! ok...Titan's fairly new!

mind you...if you had a sized figure in between those classes, i dunno what you would call it?

the only one that already exists between Legion & Deluxe is Cyberverse!

oh & you've got minicon & headmaster!(even though you just call it a headmaster figure, it doesn't actually have a class size! same thing with minicon! it's just called a minicon figure! no actual class size).

oh btw not all headmaster figures are the same size! coz Cerebros forms the head of Fort Max! & he's much larger! + we don't know what class size Cerebros is! another headmaster that's big is the Transformers Animated one! & what class size is that?

Technically, the Headmasters do have their own class, the Titanmasters.

I'm not sure I follow you? Why do we need another class? We did have ultra and supreme but they went the way of the dodo

It was called the supreme class, and they rocked pretty hard

i dunno about that! i mean, at the moment Onslaught is shelfwarming over here in UK stores(well....mainly Smyths)

It looks like a pastel teal; I LOVE IT

Praise? for Victorion? By golly!

Seriously though, I love that Gal and cannot wait to get her!

Well I can say that finally I was able to get what I've been looking for some time some cheap Combiner Wars Deluxes until this point I'd only had Voyagers and Legends. (Still no leaders)

I just got Prowl, Ironhide, Mirage, & Sunstreaker.

They are surprisingly OK - a few loose joints on Ironhide and Prowls back end doesn't peg together as well as it might, Mirage's head is crazy tight and it's a bit to scary Transforming Sunstreaker's head and chest plate for my liking also the weapon implementation is semi-terrible. But they are not quite as terrible as I anticipated I'm pleased and relieved to say.

I doubt I'd be saying that though if I'd paid £16.99 for them though - The greatest irony is though - are the moulds good enough to get so very many repaints - likely not - I'd rather had a similarly stupid number of Predacon Dragon repaints myself.

How much did you pay for them then?
