Thanks for putting this together. Are we expecting a 5th wave this year, or only 4?

Only 4 confirmed by Hasbro last year. 16 deluxes total, 4 per wave.

That makes sense as there are four quarters. Maybe they finally learned some math?

Maybe not, as we could expect a 5th wave sometime before Christmas: Wave 1 for 2016

They released this year's wave one early, so that wouldn't surprise me. Unfortunately wave two is a problem for a lot of people this year.

Before Christmas, more like lucky if you find it by Valentines.

Haha, I can totally agree with that. Yes, some do get early shipments, but the fact remains that Wave 1 of combiner wars was due for early 2015. Because or else if it comes to year end best of list would I not be allowed to mention Superion? Its BS. A wave might come early but that doesnt make it a rule or the norm.

THANKS!

You know guys, for this thread to work, we all need to contribute a bit or else it will just go to the wayside.

For instance we just learnt this last week-end:

Combiner Wars Voyager Sky Lynx, a complete new mold
Combiner Wars Deluxe Wave 6 will feature Hound, Wheeljack, Smokescreen and Trailcutter. All are reuses of existing molds, though Wheeljack is a pretty extensive remold.
Combiner Wars Bruticus, with all five Combaticons. Onslaught is a remolded Hot Spot, reworked so the vehicle back end is now the front. Swindle is a remolded Rook, and Brawl is a new mold. Vortex and Blast Off reuse Quickslinger and Alpha Bravo, respectively.

Now I will go insert these insert these in the first post.

Dear William. I'm not being critical, but you spelled "Unreleased" without an "e" next in front of the "a". U may wanna correct it, idk. Best to you, man!

Haha, not a problem, I wish all criticism to my writing was as nice, eloquent and helpful as this. Take care!

Love this thread idea.

Love this thread idea.

I may have had something to do with it...

Thanks for the new thread! So which of those three months can I expect Iron Hide?

I'd expect that wave soon (like, next 6 weeks-ish soon, not next week soon). Usually a decent run of new product late summer/early fall so they have time to saturate retail stocks for Q4.

I wonder when we'll get Generations figures of characters which haven't gotten an updated homage mold yet in deluxe class or larger

Well it seems Takara recognizes this hole in the offerings and is going lone wolf on it:
