Thank you for that! ;)^ Saved me a larger bill at BBTS because of having to buy two other figures with Sluggy. (Though I hate to do that to BBTS as they have been so very good to me...)


No problem. I was this close to getting impatient and pulling the trigger at $33.99 shipped from another amazon seller yesterday. Whew!

Now if the same thing could happen for Ramhorn and Overlord, I'd be set.

I find it curious that their stock photo includes the Ultra Magnus head. I'm not really interested in that piece, but at least it would somewhat justify the inflated price for a deluxe.

Comparison Images Between Transformers Titans Return Shuffler and G1 Shuffler

If anyone wondered how similar Hasbro's recent Titans Return Shuffler was to the original, there are now some comparison images. The G1 figure was an elephant that turned into a head while the Titans Return version is an elephant that turns into a vehicle and weapon and is paired with a smaller robot who turns into a head. You can see how similar the designs for their headmaster component are and how they look paired to the same headmasters of their respective eras.

Can we appreciate everything wrong with this image?

-That is very clearly PMOP's base mode, not Blaster's.
-Why is he joining up with Autobots? I guess Blaster at this point is just up for any sort of betrayal (hey, Getaway IS in this line) and I suppose since Quickswitch has no character we can headcanon him as an asshole.
-It. Looks. Terrible. There's not many ways to make the base layouts look great but they're not even trying.
-'Nemesis Command'. There's nothing actually wrong with that, it's a great name hinting at him being the Nemesis and I wanted to point that out.

Honestly, Shuffler's best mode is the tank.

Talking about the thrill of the hunt... I was able to get Slugslinger on Amazon yesterday. I had to redeem gift cards first. By the time I did, the $19.99 ones were gone. I kept checking through the afternoon and finally saw it come out for $19.99 again. Was able to get it finally get it. And at $13.19 after gift cards. It was actually pretty thrilling to snag it.

Let's hope that Arcee will be at my local TrU in high enough quantities. Because I'm sure that, like the Masterpieces, she'll be a cocktease on the site, showing herself but impossible to order. #-o

Bargain hunting online can be tough with all the competition/options, but with coupons and luck, it can be just as fun as hunting TFs down at a local discount store or secondhand shop.

With TR wave5+, I just want them at MSRP at any B&M ;)

So Arcee is coming to TRU? Cool, that might make her a little cheaper when the only place I can find her is eBay. I won't be near a TRU until November for an anime convention, I doubt there'll be any left then.

Or rather, impatient folk who have to have a certain figure first(!) for whatever reason I can't fathom. That sentiment is especially common with YouTube Reviewers >:oP

Early Access... meh.

I can get that feeling myself sometimes, honestly, so I can see where it comes from. There's an indefinable novelty to being one of the first people to experience something new (even if that something is as small as a toy). Plus if you're in early then you have new things to say, that people will listen to 'cause you're one of the few people saying them. It's always fun to have people listen to you :D

But then the other side of the coin is that the earlier you get a toy, the less information people have about it, and so you end up with things like Trypticon's hips... :(

It is great to see how quickly some of the Arcee sets shipped from HasbroToyShop.

Is anyone else stuck in the complete opposite? I had to be one of the first few to order and I still haven't even received a ship notification. :HEADHURTS:

If I recall, the same thing happened with skater prime, but not with this much of a delay. I emailed their customer service, so hopfully I'll hear back today.

On a completely separate note, I was able to get Slugslinger from Amazon Saturday when he was briefly available from Amazon as the retailer at $19.99. I have prime which should have put him as arriving today, but my order status says he'll be coming Thursday.

I'm guessing this means they sold some stock before it actually arrived. If you are hoping to get one from Amazon, tomorrow might be a good day to keep checking assuming their stock would get in tomorrow for the 2 day shipping to arrive on Thursday for me.

Dude, stop posting my story! :-D

I also was early to order Arcee, haven't gotten any notice yet and just emailed their customer service.
I also got Slugslinger off of Amazon when he was 19.99(had $8 in gift cards, so after tax he was 13.19) and he should be here Wednesday.

Me too! (Same story!) I have yet to receive ship notice from HTS, though I ordered within minutes of her going live on the site. I also ordered Slugslinger from Amazon. My recollection was it was basically a pre-order with an availability of 9/25 or 9/26 to arrive to me by 9/27.

(I hope I don't have to wait until October to get my Arcee...)

[Edit] Also, quick comment on being the "first" to get a figure. For me, that wasn't the motivation. It is the uncertainty. Will Arcee come out only at an online retailer I do not frequent? Will it be Walgreens where I shop only sparingly even though there are five hundred within a mile of me? Or will it be at a big box retailer who may or may not actually stock here near me? (Walmart or Toys R Us come to mind. I had a devil of a time getting the Seige on Cybertron set...) So, with the certainty I can get her from HTS, my life is a bit less stressful.

Agreed, it has happened that the first time I saw a figure was also the last time I ever saw it, like with the wave 4 deluxes.

Did you get a shipping noticed? Did you use standard shipping?
