Thanks to a heads up from some observant Seibertron fans, we have word that Wave 3 Deluxes of the Transformers Studio Series line have hit retail! This sighting comes to us from a Target in Los Angeles, California, and features the new VW Bumblebee figure that represents his new form in the upcoming Bumblebee movie. There were no signs of the Shadow Raider or Dark of the Moon Ratchet, but it can be safely assumed that they are now out on the shelves as well.

So go out and check out your local stores! You just might find some of the new Wave 3 deluxes to go along with the recent sightings of the Wave 3 voyager Ironhide!

Meanwhile my local Target was still packed with wave 1 Deluxe. They did finally get wave 2 Voyagers, that was a nice surprise.

Went to Cambridge to collect my phone at the phone shop after it had been repaired. Popped into The Entertainer. They got Studio Series wave 1 in today for first time. And with big price reductions.

Deluxe £16.80
Voyager £25.59
Leader £39.99

I wanted to buy Stinger but annoyingly while he was there when I first saw them, I decided to go to the phone shop to get my phone so I could take nice photos to share here, and by time I got back (half hour later). One...JUST ONE of the Transformers had been sold in that time. And who was it? Only frickin' Stinger! Goddammit.... So I bought Blackout cos it's nice to see Leader class at £39.99 like they used to be so very long ago and I ordered and paid for what they hope is a Stinger and will email me when it's in as I'm having to go to Cambridge again next week for yet another medical assessment. Whee.

Also they had the big movie Power Charge Bee and cyberverse thingies.

And Wave 3 of Tiny Turbos even though I never saw Wave 2 and that wave had the only figure I actually really want! Which be Squeeks!

Oh yeah here be Blackout I did buy for £39.99. Will open it up when I am more awake.

Got ten of these figures now.

I also use some previous line figures too such as RotF Bludgeon, TLK Berserker, RotF Legends Ravage and such cos they fit in nicely with the scale (but just kept this photo pure Studio)

Still waiting for my VW Bee I ordered almost a month ago though.

He looks cool but i haven't really played about with him yet cos I got my first cold in like 8 years so trying to not get germs all over them.

I'm happy I paid £40 rather tnan £50-£60 he usually sells for cos yay. He's taken the middle place of the collection where Grimlock used to be before i sold him cos pre-ordered the improved OS KO. Blackout does feel more like a 'true' leader figure in bulk and complexity though whereas Grimlock didn't to me.

I don't like how I have two voyager con's on the left but one voyager and a deluxe on the right. I'mma have to buy Brawl to even that out aren't I?

Then Lockdown and (when i get him next week) Stinger can be one on each side of the autobots

oh and it's nice to have a 'legends' Scorponok. Never managed to get the original true legends figure of him so this figure with Blackout works very nicely and goes with my Legends RotF Ravage.

Thanks. Yeah I have a really good immune system apparently but I been very silly and suffering anxiety/depression stuffs lately more than usual and i guess i got weaker so the cold got me. Darnit. I forgot how annoying constantly coughing through the night is.

And yeah i would like new shelves to display everyone in their background card stands but can't for now so just adapting the display as I get new figures. Still not sure if gonna display the KO Grimlock in robot mode, or in T-Rex mode with TLK voyager Prime sat on top. Maybe switch it around each week or so.

Also I not sure how to deal with mutiple toys of same character whether they new molds such as VW Bee or repaints such as RotF Starscream. Ah well I'll figure something out. This my fave TF figure line ever and I'm glad it seems to be more to look forward to with Barricade, Sideswipe and such and hope there's even more to come.

Have a good day.

@Carnivius_Prime: Nice collection of bots! I'm definitely picking and choosing what I'm picking up from the line, but I reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally like it so far. Just got Lockdown the other day, he's dang nice. I wish he had the gunface as well, but that's all the more reason to pick up his repaint. :lol:

Yeah Lockdown is one that looks plenty good enough from a distance but when you look closer he's got so much awesome detailing and he's just really well done.

Technically I'm just picking and choosing but this is a movie-dedicated line and movie bots are my fave type so there be a lot I'm getting but I gotta tell myself it's ok if there's ones out of my price range (which Blackout was til I got him cheaper) or I just don't care enough about (Crowbar.. I just far prefer TLK Berserker who I love muchly and already have so Crowbar would have to be very cheap to get a purchase).

Anyways yeah great pic of Lockdown. Enjoy.

Finally got Stinger (£16.80 from The Entertainer) and I like him a lot. Needs a few extra paint apps to bring out the sculpt details which I will do when I have time.

DSC_0039 (4).jpg

I think Crowbar is the only wave 1 figure I haven't had (I had Grimlock but sold him in favour of the upcoming OS KO) and I may get him at some point but even at 16.80 it seems too much when I already have most of the same toy in Berserker who I find far more appealing and is one of my fave Decepticon figures ever.

But yeah I think this is the most complete I've ever been with any line of Transformers. Usually I just pick and choose but there's just so many in this line I like to own.

Possibly, as I like both molds and the new colours and heads look good but they're not priorites like Barricade and Sideswipe are.

Considering that Hasbro are re-releasing it in the Studio line yes I think you can certainly count it as that since they appear to as well. I'm counting other TLK figures as Studio Series until officially denounced such as TLK Voyager Prime and Megatron and Deluxe Cogman, Crosshairs, Berserker (especially him since his body is reused for Crowbar) etc.

I consider The Last Knight Premium Series very much a precursor to the Studio Series, especially since we did get two releases right up front in the Studio Series that were remolds of TLK figures. It makes sense to me too that we should count the TLK releases as the representatives of that movie in the Studio Series, as that will push most of the more recent characters further down the line so we can catch up with better quality versions of older movie characters first, especially ones who have never had a really good screen accurate toy yet.

I actually customized mine over the weekend myself! I was bothered by his armor being on the inside of the legs and his outer knee area looking flat so I ended up swapping a bunch of his leg parts over to the others, cut into them to swap feet, missed his torso to remove the backpack and painted him up. I also realized halfway through that I didn’t have the spare parts to make him movie accurate so he’s kind of a custom design now too - he has “boots” that make him look more Prime-esque and the wheels are in his armpits to fill in his torso (and because I forgot to leave space near his wings, oops). Needless to say he doesn’t transform anymore but if I want another one I’ll get the 2 pack with VW Bee eventually.

@Autobot Roadburn: Very nice! I definitely like the upward angled wings and the darker face!! When I painted mine I flat blacked errything on the legs/torso/hands/weapon that didn't have any paint and then went over it with metallic silver. I think it blended in some areas better than others. Yours is very evenly coated!! Awesome stuff ;)^

Thank you! I did a couple base coats of black myself, then dry brushed a couple layers of dark gunmetal on top of that, then finally some light silver on top to bring out the details more. But yeah, a lot of this stuff is glued on so he won't transform again but I can mess with Studio Bee if I want to and this guy has all his kibble out of the way. Also the black pieces on the inside of his knees are parts of the crocodile neck from Titans Return Krok, I customized him a while back too (also doesn't transform, just like the comics) and had the extra parts sitting around. Didn't have a ton extra to work with.

And some folk like PrimeVsPrime got one from Amazon within a few days for just £23.99 whereas I paid about £10 more cos i wanted it early and i sure as heck don't have it early. Meh. I've ordered various things from those sorts of far east eBay sellers and only ever had one thing not turn up and I did get my money back so I'm hoping I can at least do that but yeah not happy.

Yay for Bee! I'm content to wait to find him in stores though, and I'm super excited for the MP of VW Bee, even though it's kinda funny he and Ironhide may be coming out in the same month MP wise and pretty close time wise for SS.

I've actually had really good luck with the SS line in stores. I've seen all of wave 1 and 2, and save for Blackout, Grimlock, and Thundercracker, I have bought all of the ones I have in store. it's been nice like that.

As I got the toy and I love it, I wish Hasbro would do some more of those fun battle repaints like they did in past lines for figures. Recon Ironhide is so much fun with all the weapons, and I think the Studio Series one could be equally as fun given this kind of treatment

Looking at those pics, it seems that mold looks better as Ironhide than the Studio Series one. I know everyone who has him in hand says that aint so, but whenever i look at SS Ironhide all I see is that giant bumper across his chest. It really takes away from the intended shape of a massive linebacker. Your rekon ironhide evokes that shape much more.

Transformers Studio Series Wave 3 is slowly tricking in the US but it had not been found in Canada yet. That has now changed since fellow Seibertronian Kanrabat has found this wave at a Walmart in Laval, Canada. This is a rather particular wave since it is the first to incorporate toys from the current Bumblebee film in this line centered around toys of previous films. The new toys in this wave include Volkswagen Bumblebee, Dark of the Moon Ratchet and Shadow Raider. Thsese were priced at $29.99 CAD. The case contents can be found below:

CROWBAR X 1
BUMBLEBEE X 3
RATCHET X 2
RAIDER X 2

Y'know, Hasbro really needs to release a Studio Series figure of Starscream Blitzwing. Then they can redeco/retool it into Skywarp, Thundercracker, Ramjet, Thrust, Dirge, Sunstorm, Acid Storm, Slipstream and Red Wing, and then everyone would be happy.

Having seen the trailers, I will be really disappointed if we don't get a SS Shatter and Blitzwing to go with Dropkick, and even more disappointed if we don't get muscle far versions to go with the copter and jet versions of Shatter and Dropkick.

I think we will get other versions of Shatter and Dropkick, and one of Blitzwing. Though I would like to see if he's a triple changer but rumours about the movie aren't optimistic about him surviving long enough.

Uh I wouldn't. I frickin' hate all those lazy repaints of seekers. Especially Acid Storm, Sunstorm and all those other colouring error ones. I like how it is now with Starscream and Thundercracker being completely different figures.

Anyways I've had to give up on my £33.99 VW Bee I ordered well over a month ago from eBay as it never turned up and I have to wait til Oct 4th before I can try claim my money back. I've now ordered one from Amazon.co.uk for £23.97 cos they're more available now and should be here by Saturday though my enthusiasm for the figure has decreased somewhat because my ethusiasm for the film has decreased a LOT (and if they start putting blocky G1-style bots into Studio Series I will be extremely annoyed, that's what all that Titans/PotP/Siege stuff is for that I generally don't bother with).
