Probably not looking at a repeat Cosmos situation as each DLX figure should come 2 each making it 6 bots per case right? While Ferak is 4X per case?

If not, I guess Ferak will be solid case, which is good for me since that's the only one I want.

They put a hold, but unlike many retailers, for some reason it takes several days (rather than just a "check" to make sure funds are there). So they dont actually charge until the item ships, but to secure your order, may take several days, kind of annoying.
As for which will be the hardest to find.... The voyager and leader being only 1 (and in cases of and 3 respectively) should be easy enough to obtain if they do show up in stores (Like G2 Grimlock, Toxitron, and the Voyager Cloudcover were in abundance).
If there are 4 deluxes (Cases of 8, and 2 per case), that would be even, then as WJ said, its up to distribution. My guess is that Lockdown might be slightly more popular than the others, but I honestly dont know. I'm just being pessimistic because Lockdown is the only one I'm remotely interested in, so according to Murphys law, that WILL be the hardest to get
Lastly, is Roadpig part of this subline? I thought he was part of something else?

Ferak is the only voyager, but there's also Roadpig as a deluxe and Thundertron as a leader

Yeah Distribution sucks. Paying scalper prices for a single deluxe because it was not obtainable is not something I like doing.Maybe because he was on screen for only a few shots? We did get a Sweep from the Scourge mold (whose deco ironically looks more like Scourge than Scourge does) so I guess we could get a "Cy-clone-us" as well. Probably towards the tail end of SS86, when they run out of characters.AllNewSuperRobot wrote:I am genuinely amazed there hasn't been a Cyclonus Armada redeco in the Legacy or even SS'86 line yet? Universe Cyclonus had at least three colour variations of purple. The Secondary Cyclonus (that had more screen time than the fifth Dinobot) could easily work with one of those.
Some have bought the Selects toy-colors Cyclonus to use as an Armada.Rodimus Prime wrote:Maybe because he was on screen for only a few shots?

It was joked that Snarl shouldn't have been part of the SS'86 line for that very reason. Yet his figure existsAllNewSuperRobot wrote: The Secondary Cyclonus (that had more screen time than the fifth Dinobot)

Apparently, the Sweep release happened because they use the wrong/a bad color source for Scourge's deco, with the Sweep having the correct deco for Scourge.AllNewSuperRobot wrote:I'm surprised they didn't release Armada at the same time as the Sweeps to be fair. Both Cyclonus and Scourge are army builders within the context of the Movie. So it does seem like an oversight.

Most of those details are stickers that you have to apply yourself, so the base figure doesn't have them.AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Some have bought the Selects toy-colors Cyclonus to use as an Armada.
I know, I read that before commenting. But the added decals and blue "ears" bug me with that release. If anything, Selects could be Cyclonus and Armada the other release. But it still isn't ideal. Given that just like the Sweeps, the majority of the colour scheme should look the same.
