Hot Wheels x Transformers Twin Mill Official Images

Unabashedly hype for these dudes. They look great.

Not a HW guy. However Bone Shaker looks awesome in alt mode and bot mode got a lot of character thanks to the chest skull design. Will get for the fun of the it depending on the price & availability in Canada.

But Twin Mill is a different story. The car mode is...bad as a car. I'm probably being too analytical, but the dual intakes are obscuring the driver's view so much it's just too ridiculous for me. And the legs in bot mode...yikes. That hollowness is Authentics-level in its badness. The knee joints look weird too. Not interested.

People are saying these are Deluxe scaled but priced at Voyager/Leader class. So that's a bit of a deterrence for me on Twin Mill at least.

I wonder if they're using the fact that they're die-cast to justify the price? Still shouldn't be voyager priced. Hopefully that info is incorrect

Licensing fees & tariff would add to the final price???

Below are the preorder links from Amazon and Pulse for the Hot Wheels Bone Shaker and Twin Mill Transformer Figures. The price is 14% higher in the US than in Canada, where they are sold at the standard deluxe MSRP, and it is unsure if it’s because of tariffs, which have also seen price increases for Lego sets sold to US customers, or if the Amazon.ca price is a fortunate mistake.

I'm surprised these sold out at BBTS already. I thought they'd at least get a few days out of them. I guess that shows how popular these are with collectors, probably the best place to buy online with proper packing.

If you live near the border, could you purchase in Canada & bring it back to the US without attracting additional fees? Or put it on an aerial balloon crossing the border & hope it doesn't get shot down.

Goddamit, Aussies, your end of the stick is so short, there's no stick left.
50$CAN for a freaking deluxe at the base price. Without taxes. Holy crap.

Nothing new to us Aussies, unfortunately. The only 'upside' is the price is inclusive of all taxes.

Still more expensive than the rest, but it's much better than I thought.

Canada and the USA should follow Australia and Japan in including the sales taxes in the displayed price. But noooooo, it's too hard to do. I blame the fact that most states and provinces have their regional tax on top of the federal one, making things "complicated."
