We got the first five pieces of this bonus with each of the unique Deluxe Class figures from the first wave of NETFLIX Transformers products. Now, the promise has been fulfilled with the second wave of product, giving us all ten pieces needed to complete the diorama.

That is pure sweetness Wolfman especially had it been a 2 story 2 tier like I thought it was at first.

So if there is a 3rd wave, no doubt it will be Earthrise based. Do you think they will continue with a gimmick like this, or just continue with the toys?

People selling Bumblebee for $60 on eBay, they really need a hobby.

Honestly just want Bee and maaaaaaaaybe Elita-1. Looked through a few Walmart’s here in El Paso and they ain’t got jack aside from the stuff that’s been shelfwarming the last six-eight months.

Cheetor, Deep Cover, and the Allicon are included in the listings, so Wave 3 may be a mix of Siege, Earthrise, and Kingdom molds like how Wave 2 is a mix of Siege and Earthrise molds.

Elita-1, Bumblebee, Impactor maybe. Still waiting on getting some of the Wave 1 figures.

Or watch Pawn Stars to get a grip on their expectations.

I've only got Netflix Bumblebee. Personally I dont feel the need to collect extra characters for the cardboard backdrop. I would try and print out my own backgrounds instead.

Absolutely not.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought that!

He was speculating about what the packaging gimmick might be for Netflix wave 3 since we seem to have completed Teletraan-1 with this assortment, not what the actual figures are going to be.
To which I saw..... maybe more of the alternate future cards from the rest of Kingdom. It's an interesting question.
Also, did Siege have a packaging gimmick that I'm forgetting about or did that start with ER?

Siege had hidden codes on the boxed figures (Deluxe and up) and some exclusives, revealed by blacklight (like everyone has one!

). Those codes could be entered on the Hasbro Siege site for hidden stuff. Think Cyber Key codes from Cybertron.

He's just saying that knowing part of the wave 3 lineup there's no reason to think it'll be based on a specific animated series like Earthrise just like wave 2 isn't and therefore the backdrop could just as easily be something from Kingdom or even Siege.

As for what wave 3 will come with, I'm sure they'll just keep doing backdrops, there's no shortage of places to choose from be it Megatron's throne room (probably has an official name I can't think of), inside the Axalon, or just Cybertron or jungle scapes.

I managed to get all but Soundwave preordered when they came out, but each one got delayed, and then canceled, all except Bumblebee. He's the only one I've still got there.

I'll be getting wave 2 and giving the ones I don't want to my kid.

Decided to do a quick run to one of the Fargo, ND Walmarts over lunch, and the reports were correct. I found a Netflix Bumblebee, and they had quite a lot of the deluxes from this wave (some were piled up on the high shelf). There were also a couple wave 2 Earthrise deluxes on the shelves as well.

Nice. Hopefully they'll make their way to the East Coast quickly.

Yeah, that's awesome!
Gives me hope that they'll show up around KC sooner than later.

Same here, I plan on checking this weekend. Some stores like to wait until Black Friday to put stuff on shelves to make things more impressive. Right now I've got one store with nothing on the NetFlix pegs and shelf and another with just one each of Hotlink, Megatron and Sideswipe so the space is there, just need the stock.

It was a little of BOTH actually. I know the Netflix waves are nto tied to a particular toy line BUT they appear to be tied to a specific animated series. Wave 1&2 had the B&W Siege image, and all characters appeared in the Siege portion of the animated series (Except for Nemesis...which I guess could be a spoiler for the next series). It would not be out of the realm of logic though to think that wave 3 will include a B&W version of the ER packaging to go with characters that will all appear in the ER portion of the animation. Not saying it's a 100% certainty, but it is a possibility.

And yes I'd like to know about any included backdrop gimmicks, but I guess it's too early to say.
