I haven't received any of my exclusive Recon Ravage Mail Aways yet, and I ordered 3 of them in the middle of April. Has anyone here actually received them? Could you please tell me how long it took to get them, and who sent them to you and how they were sent? UPS, FedEx or USPS, so I can try and trace them. If there is a contact number, email or info on the invoice sheet they send you, could you please forward that info to me so I can check? I think they said 6 weeks to deliver, but that would be about now so I am not sure if they late or missing. My housemates, drunks that they are, apparently sent some packages back so that might have been them. Thanks!

I still haven't gotten mine yet and it sounds like I sent my form in before you... They're just slow.

Thanks, I was just worried because of my housemates sending some stuff back. The size they described the packages sound about right for the Recon Ravage toys...Some people here got theirs though didn't they?

They did, but they sent in their forms a lot earlier. The N.E.S.T. packs claims the shipping time is 6 to 8 weeks, if you have sent it in by April 30th.

I sent three away at different times in April, starting around the middle of April til the end. 6 to 8 weeks would put it around the middle of June at the latest. I am just hoping they arrive before I leave for Botcon and Europe.

They apparently come in white boxes with a big NEST shield logo on it...should be fairly clear whether it was the Ravage package or not. However, whether they show before Botcon or not is anyone's guess.

April 5th cashed my checks. No Ravages to be seen.
That puts me past the 8 week mark...

But really why do I even want that POS in the first place?

Because the box and the corny letter from Optimus Prime make it cool!

Seriously, though it took 8-10 weeks for me to get mine. It was 5-6 weeks before they even cashed my check!

I honestly forgot all about it..I already moved to my new house and never changed the address..I'm sure it will turn up soon...

In this instance I would suggest finding Hasbro's Customer Service number and calling it.

How many people here have received theirs? Also did anyone see that spend $25 on Transformers between the 28th of May and July 31st, 2010 and get 3 deluxe figures for free from Hasbro?

Pf, yeah, so corny! *hides framed letter*

Wow, I just got all my mail away Transformers in the mail. I went to my PO BOX and I got my Club Excusive Dion and one of the Recon Ravages. Then I get home later that same day and I get another Dion and 2 more Recon Ravages. So that is 5 Tranformers in the same day, and they were all ordered weeks apart from different copmpanies/places. How strange is that?! At least they all arived. Recond Ravage actually comes in a retail ready package complete with a barcode and everything, so it's not really all that exclusive since they can buy it in Canada I believe. For their next mail Away I suggest they get something that is not available anywhere in the US, like from a mold we never got or something.

yeah a basically non-transformable transformer as a mail exclusive which can be purchased north of the border? heck the packaging has french writing, this was simply pulled from Canadian retail. was still fun to do dammit and i like shiny chrome

I am dating myself here, but I remember as a kid that the mail away exclusives were actually exclusives. Like Reflector and those cheaper versions like Camshaft, Downshift and one other one. You couldn't get them any other way. Reflector was only released in Japan, and the color schemes were off here. Now that is something they could redo in the Universe line, since SLR Cameras look like the old Reflector and are still in use today.

I think it's a mistake, I mailed mine on April 30th and got it a few days ago(feels kinda cheap, the toy does....)

Funny thing is, where I live in Toronto Canada, recon ravage is a total shelf warmer. Nobody wants it, they just had a 2 for 1 sale on all TF products at TRU, by sunday all that was left was recon ravages and oil slicks.

Mine came today...I like how on the rare occasion I intend to keep a fig MISB it shows up in beat up packaging. Oh well, it probably won't ever be worth s**t anyhow. I'm sure its peak value was probably about two or three months ago.

All seven of mine finally arrived. Now the only problem is what the **** am I going to do with all them. I'm thinking of repainting a few pf them into my very own Ravage Voltron force. Its just too bad that they won't be able to combine.

Yippie, I just heard from my father-in-law in the US mine has arrived last week! Infiltrator Soundwave now has his pet!

Next up, Nemesis Soundwave and Sea Attack Ravage.

I'm actually having a difficult time finding $25 worth of TFs to buy. Everything's on sale, meaning I have to buy more, and the shelves haven't changed since, like, Feb-March.

One place I went to had only Tuner Mudflaps. Everything else had been bought.

I skipped over a lot of molds, so the majority of ROTF deluxes work for me for this new giveaway. I actually bought Swerve as one of them, so here's hoping I won't get one as a freebie.

BTW, anybody else notice that it dropped from three deluxes to two DLX and a scout?

It dropped? But their site and the form still say 3 DLX.
