Transformers Generations Voyager Brainstorm - HasbroToyShop.com Pre-orders

Darn...was just coming here to submit this news . I just ordered (2) at 11:33 AM Central Time. The "freeship25" code is still good. I cannot imagine these lasting long enough for Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales. Wonder why they did not wait? Will we see Chromia and Arcee for Black Friday and Cyber Monday? Will we possibly see a preorder for Combiner Wars Wave 1? I'm hopeful for both.

I have mine on order and will be checking DAILY for Arcee and Chromia-as far as combiners go...if only they would show up! I'm excited about Superion, and idiotically REALLY excited about the legends Powerglide

But they're not supposed to come out until next year.

Aren't they hitting the UK in December?
Do we have a ruff release date yet?

All I heard was late december 2014 at the earliest. The Generations wave with Chromia and Arcee, along with Brainwave need to come out first.

I personally don't expect to see them at mass retail until February but that's just gut instinct (more gut instinct, I dont think they will come to Canada until summer 2015)

I'm still waiting on Roadbuster & Sky-Byte to show up again in New York City. I was away on business when they came around the first time. I need those two before I even think about Brainstorm, Arcee, and Chromia (though I'll still buy them on sight).

Also, finally picked up the Nightbeat / Jhiaxus / Crosscut / Windblade wave today at TRU. That's the thing about TRU Times Square: things are either really early, or really behind.

If that's the case, those Arcee's running around ebay, for what market are supposedly targetted at if the official release is on December?

Those arcees on e-bay are from the chinese production line as extra stock. They were taken at the stage before the packaging took place. They are excess production. Since they didnt need packaging and instructions printed and included, they were able to be sold on e-bay right away. In the meantime, the production stock is being packaged and branded and will eventualy come our way. I hope I answered your question.

Official Transformers Generations / Combiner Wars Discussion Thread

*raises hand*

If the Combiner Wars finish soon, can we get a thread retitle?

combiner wars havent even started yet.....

I know

I'm hoping the first wave of Combiner Voyagers and Deluxes hit before X-mas. I'm really interested in those Aerialbots and possibly Prime.

Dang! Wish I'd known that the "freeship25" code was still operational as I definitely would've used it. Still, I've got one Voyager Brainstorm pre-ordered as I'm not holding my breath for my local Wal-Mart to get it in anytime in the near future. Their shelves are so cluttered with those AOE 12" Titan figures that there's no room for any other boxed AOE Transformers figures. Who thought of these non-transforming crap figures? I'm a kid that wants a Transformer figure and this is what I get... a NON-TRANSFORMING TRANSFORMER?!?!? WTF!?!? The Generations Voyagers that they do have (Rhinoxen(?) and Whirls) have been there for months now, gathering dust, so no room for anymore Generations Voyagers.

Anyway, I think I'm going to like this Voyager Brainstorm for its robot mode and Voyager size. I'm not a huge fan of its vehicle mode with its legs folded up underneath it and sticking way out back (FansProject's Smart Robin wins hands-down on vehicle mode). But since I display my figures in robot mode anyway, I don't have to worry about those awkward legs. I'll likely display him with my "future" battle scenario which includes Rodimus Prime (w/FansProject's upgrade Protector set), UniqueToys' ManiaKing (Ver. 1 - homage to Galvatron), Cyclonus, Scourge and the Sweeps, and Generations Metroplex.

I still like my FansProject Smart Robin (homage to Brainstorm) for both of its modes and right now, it sizes well with its homages to its Headmasters teammates, FansProject Code (homage to Chromedome), ToyWorld's Hardbone (homage to Hardhead), and later FansProject's homage to Highbrow. As well as its Decepticon adversaries, FansProject's Quadruple U (homage to Weird Wolf), FansProject's Sigma L (homage to Mindwipe), and later FansProject's Function X5 (homage to Skullcruncher).

That's alright, we can use this thread for the remainder of the regular Generations toys being released this year and can still use the combiner wars thread for the Generations Combiner Wars stuff coming out all next year.

Maybe we could count the generic 2014/2015 releases like the Legions and Protectobots as well?

Am I right in thinking that Arcee is not yet openly available to US collectors, or am I misreading things? I've had Arcee since October and I live in the UK, where we usually get figures pretty late.

Yeah no, still nothing. It probably has something to do with the American Retailers not wanting to pick the wave for whatever reason, it's a wave of girls, they want movie toys whatever, or they are waiting for the holiday rush to stock it.
No Arcee, No Chromia, nor a Brainstorm.

Strange that here in the UK the two main online retailers have been stocking them for months, hell even the Takara version's are up for preorder!

BBTS's listing have arcee, Chromia, and Brainstorm at "early December", TFsource has theirs as "Delayed until November". I have no idea.

Amazon also said they were out of stock with no knowledge of when they're getting more when I checked.

They finally sold out of those?

Last time I checked a couple weeks back they still had him.

Where are Arcee and Chromia??? I preordered them in FEBRUARY!

Just grabbed Chromia off Amazon for regular retail price and Brainstorm shows up tomorrow. Just need Arcee to show up now!

Was Chromia in stock and sold by Amazon? I only see it and Arcee listed by 3rd party sellers

Great news for all you transfans!

Fellow seibertronian Cobotron has spotted Generations Voyager Brainstorm at retail.

Here is what he sent us.

Congratulations Cobotron on your first news credit. To many more!

Cool! I will check my local WM tomorrow. I was worried we would not see this one because of combiner wars.

Now, we just need Arcee and Chromia!

Arcee and Chromia have been out in Honk Kong for a month now, they should be coming real soon.

YAHOOOOOOOOOOO!
I made the news.

I'll give a full QC report once I've had time to play.

ScottyP wrote:Just grabbed Chromia off Amazon for regular retail price and Brainstorm shows up tomorrow. Just need Arcee to show up now!

Sorry, I cannot believe that. I have been looking at amazon daily looking for it for the last two weeks. The cheapest I have seen it for on there is $21. Same with Brainstorm. There is no way you picked it up on amazon at retail price.

Cobotron wrote:YAHOOOOOOOOOOO!

Thanks for the info drop and the proof to back it up. I will check tomorrow at my local and report back.

I don't buy it. If they are telling the truth, then there should be no problem snipping the invoice and posting it here. The cheapest Chromia I have seen in the last three weeks was for $21 shipped.

Not that I think he is lying for sure as he could be telling the truth and they just went real quickly.

It's pron to break off when you detach it from the big torso.
I'll be careful and let y'all know tonight.

...which means online retailers will have theirs soon. Which means my preorder will be processed soon!

There's an issue where when Arcana's head is plugged into Brainstorm's neck socket, the clip that holds it in can grip it too tightly, and if you try to pop Arcana back out, it'll shear his head off.

Is there a video or pics of this anywhere? I cannot find them on google and I don't want to break mine when I get it.

Its in this thread
Peugh's review.
(spelling????)

The exact nature of the problem is simpler than you'd think. In order to remove Arcana, you must first push down a certain part of Brainstorm to "unlock" him. However, a misassembly issue (I forget where) can render that feature inoperable, locking Arcana permanently in place.

It's the latter. It was regular retail price when scotty posted, and sold directly from amazon. It sold out, and now is only available from third party sellers at inflated prices.
