Transformers: The Last Knight Tiny Turbo Changers 3-pack sighted at retail

@Will

Didn't you already have that Drift and Barricade? If yes, exchange them, if not, they're keepers. One thing for sure is that Bee gotta go. One thing for sure is you have to keep Barricade if you don't have it. He's a classic figure lost in a Movie line and I like it. I hope you'll too.

As for Steelbane, if you have the patience to use Pledge floor Finish, you have something that still look awesome and is interesting. I'd keep it.

Thanks for the feedback, thats what I will do. And yes I did have those 2 but I returned them to walmart since I thought they sucked and I was waiting to see if they would issue box sets with beter paint apps like last time. But since its not the case, I got them again because of the deal with the coupons.
I opened barricade

Do any of the fans here live in San Jose, CA? Because this is where the latest deluxes from Transformers: The Last Knight. At the Walmart on Story Rd, to be more precise. These are the wave 3 deluxes which include a new Bumblebee and practically new Crosshairs, a redeco of Strafe and a rerelease of the Drift toy that came in wave 2. Cogman is not part of this wave. For those who are not in the area, this wave is now available for preorder at BBTS, confirming the case content just described.
These were found by a cousin of TFW2005 user Gallade.

Good luck with the hunt!

Will, Barricade is the best of that group by far. Great figure, you've heard all my praise for him. Keep him for sure.

As for the others, return the Bee. the other 2, I have no interest in getting, so I don't have them in any capacity, so I cannot really speak for them.

However, I will say this about a different set of movie figures: the wave 3 voyagers are the best of the best. Scorn is my favorite dinobot mold of any dinobot ever. He is a great figure, large, heavy, transformation is fun, posable, and extremely well painted. He feels like such a great mold, and he is so pleasing to both look at and play with.

Nitro Zeus is my favorite figure of the year, period. I have had him for a few weeks, and he is still an absolute joy. He is so much fun and so playable! The transformation is cool, pretty complex, but yet easy once you do it once or twice. The jet mode is delicious, and the robot mode is awesome. Couple that with the titan master compatibility, and you have an all around awesome figure. He will be figure of the year for me, and he is my favorite movie decepticon ever and right up there in contention for best movie figure period.

Oh I am all over those voyagers once they are spotted, thats for sure!

I'm just glad I got them from tfsource. You will need to talk about both once you get them. they are amongst the best voyagers to come out in the movie lines and over the past several years in general. you gotta find yourself a legion Crosshair too, so you can have him riding his big buddy

yes I do. That is probably my favourite picture I have ever seen that you took

really disappointed in the way bbts has not been releasing single figs for the deluxes. i do not want the repaints.

griftimus prime wrote:really disappointed in the way bbts has not been releasing single figs for the deluxes. i do not want the repaints.

well thats the deal, no one does. But since they are packaged as much as the non repaints they cant afford to seperate them or else every collector they cater to will buy the new molds and the rest will never sell and they will lose money.

Yeah, the wave 1 flood has hit really hard near me, as well. Absolutely NOTHING but Barricade, Slash, Bumblebee, and Voyager Grimlock. We finally got the Voyager Prime for the first time a couple weeks ago, and then I saw Leader Megs and Prime for the first time last week. Literally nothing else new, in any size class.

Also, more bad news: Most of the time, I'll ask an employee if they have anything new in back, and this last visit to my local Target, the employee told me they "haven't been getting any new shipments in." and that it was "Bizarre, it's almost like they've been discontinued." That's kind of unnerving.

I get that discontinued bit from staff all the time, don't mind it. As soon as they see 0 in stock and 0 coming in for the next few shipments (which is like 2 weeks), they automatically say discontinued when we know its not the case.

Still havent seen wave 2 and wave 3 is showing up, glad im not collecting movie figures. Hasbro really needs to fix this distribution problem, it went from the last wave not showing up to multiple waves never showing up, and its in every single line not just one.

By Rodimus Prime's request, I made a few COMPARISON SHOTS BETWEEN LEADER '07 MEGATRON'S AND LEADER TLK MEGATRON'S VEHICLE MODES a few pages back.

After playing with my '07 "icy" voyager Megatron, why not do the same and compare it to the TLK voyager? So here's the comparison for the jet/spaceship modes.



Right of the bat, '07 voyager Megs is WAY more fun to fiddle with than the leader. Easier transformation, better look overall, and it just ooze personality. Sure, that spaceship mode is mostly Megs doing the "Superman", but it give him a much more streamlined look than the leader.

That said, the TLK voyager is a much, much better toy in every ways. The transformation is still fun and Megs change shape completely. The jet is perfectly sleek with barely any undercarriage and is a much more better design. Despite the TLK awesomeness, it dosent remove any love and appreciation for the good old '07 voyager though.









As you just saw above, '07 is more massive and chunkier than the TLK. However, both bot modes are relatively the same size. Seeing these two toys side by side show me how not only the toy designs and technology have improved in 10 years, but how Megatron himself have also matured. The guy now understand a bit better that Transformers need to make an effort to be... in disguise!

Hoping wave 2 and three deluxe and voyagers show up at TFcon DC plus Hot Rod and Cogman

Nothing but Berserker's and Slash's in my area as far as deluxes. Not even the occasional Barricade or Bumblebee anymore. At least wave 2 voyagers finally started coming in.

I mentioned in another thread that this line is reeeeeally giving me flashbacks to to the 3rd movie line. DotM had the same problem with a first wave made of repaints and characters who weren't even in the movie (stupid twins and Jolts everywhere), and shelfwarmed for months because of it. End result was the final wave was cancelled. Really not going to be shocked if Cogman, the only deluxe left I really want, doesn't see wide release.

But if I recall, a big problem with DOTM was the swarm of Bees everywhere. And in this line, that deluxe we all crap on is selling like hotcakes. So while there are som similarities, the toys we constantly see are totally different.

william-james88 wrote:But if I recall, a big problem with DOTM was the swarm of Bees everywhere. And in this line, that deluxe we all crap on is selling like hotcakes. So while there are som similarities, the toys we constantly see are totally different.

I mean, those DotM Bees were new molds, but I feel pretty comfortable lumping those in with repaints since they were the same character that already had 5 deluxe molds and like a dozen repaints and variants in the previous two lines. The two more molds they dropped in DotM put him at 7 deluxes and god knows how many variants in a 5 year span. Everyone already had a Bee (and probably a better mold than the crappy DotM toys, too), so of course he was a pegwarmer.

In comparison, in the last 5 years there's really only been three deluxe movie Bee molds, the two from AoE and the new TLK deluxe that hasn't seen wide release yet. He's the second most popular character in these movies, so yeah, of course he sold better this time, kids haven't been able to buy him in three years.

My comparison was more about how they again had repaints (Bee, Grimlock) and characters who aren't even in the movie (Slash, Berserker appears for like 5 seconds) as the freaking premier wave of this line when new molds and more relevant/popular characters would have made way more sense, and would have sold by now instead of lingering on shelves for months. There's a reason all the Primes and Barricades were scooped up while everything else just lingers. Why would stores want to restock with waves 2 and 3 when wave 1 just sat around taking up space? Hasbro made the same mistake as DotM, and it may cost us some good figures like it did that time too.

While a good part of the world has had this toy out for quite a while, Knight Armor Hound was never found in the US, until now. Panda Prime has found this Hound at Walmart. This makes the Knight Armor subline fully out at retail. The only toys from Transformers: The Last Knight line still not found in the US are the wave 3 one steps, wave 3 legions and leader Dragon Storm so let us know if you find them.

Congrats 3 people looking for him!

Can't wait to find Dragonstorm, but I JUST found Scorn and have only found Staffe from wave 3. Not looking great for getting last knight without relying on e-stores:\

I found a leader Megs and a leader prime about two weeks ago at the local Target. No Dragon. I snagged Megs. I checked back the other day, and leader Prime was still shelf warming in the exact same spot, and nuthin else new. Gonna have to check some other stores.

Is 2 weeks really the time we now wait to call something a shelfwarmer?

But if no one ducking touched it, it's probably going to shelfwarm.

Ugh...tell us about it pal! coz here in the UK we're still stuck with Wave 1 of the Tiny Turbo Changers! & god knows if or even when we'll see Wave 2(in order to get that Sqweeks figure) now YES!!! places like Ebay ect have SOME of Wave 2(minus Sqweeks...so far!) but I also am waiting for Deluxe Cogman(even though he's on preorder on the Kapow website) but no sign of any bricks & mortar shop distribution of him yet(in the UK)

Meh I saw this today here in Australia

Well how long should it be, dude? Nobody ever told me how long somethin's gotta sit. Can you throw me a bone here?

After two weeks there's NO other leaders there except Prime, and it's the same one sitting in the same spot at the same funky angle it was when I got Megs. All I'm saying is... they got nothin' else in. I was lucky to get the only Megs that showed up, and I'm not sure they're gonna get any more.

Yeah but the idea of a shelfwarmer is that the toy is still there when the line outstayed its welcome. Thats what makes them so distinctive. In this case you have a movie leader in the shelf space for movie leaders for people to buy while waiting for a restock. Thats just business as usual. You get where I am coming from right?

Are there any TLK Transformers with eight steps or more that cost less than $20? I saw a Hot Rod Walmart exclusive for about that much; but he only had about three steps, so that's why I wouldn't pay much for that figure. I did see larger leader Transformers that had plenty of steps, but they're about $50. Now if someone gives me examples of Dinobots, that won't do because I have plenty of beast Transformers now. I know TTC's don't have many steps, but at least they're they're not expensive, and you get a surprise when you see what's inside.

Yes, any Deluxe Class Transformer from TLK should be about (maybe a little less or more than) $20, depending on exactly where you look. Bumblebee, Berserker, Barricade, those guys. Not that I'd wholeheartedly recommend any of them for that price, you'd be far better off saving a bit more and getting one of the Voyagers from Wave 2 or 3 - they're much better figures by comparison, and far more worth their price-tag, even if that price-tag is a bit higher.

As for shelfwarming, I think a good definite example is the occasional CW Leader Skywarp one may see sitting around. It's obviously a little hazy when exactly a toy becomes a 'shelfwarmer', but personally I feel like it's safe to assume a toy has at least overstayed its welcome when every other figure has turned over a few times and the one in question hasn't (not just the figure type e.g. TLK Leader Optimus Prime, but the exact individual figure hasn't moved while everything else has to a notable degree).

Dude, don't waste your time with TLK if you want some epic transformations. Go hunt the classifieds or even Ebay for some nice ROTF, HFTD, or DOTM goodness. Those deluxes, voyagers, and leaders were EPIC. So much so that with all the complaints parents gave Hasbro, the Transformers have been heavily simplified starting AoE and RiD.

EDIT:
Holy shit... What have I done? I responded to the legendary Jason5billion...

When it comes to movie Transformers, I'd rather stay away from Voyager class Transformers because they're probably just double changers, but a Bumblebee would be nice. They probably made a Laserbeak from that one movie where he turned into quite a few things, but I have a feeling that they released him as a double changer, but I could be wrong. Too bad Hasbro won't go back to putting out Scout class Transformers. Whatever you do, I'd highly advise hanging on to ones you've got. There's one store I want to check out; but I know how it'll be if I see a TM Optimus Prime or Sandstorm, so I'm gonna stay away from there until a week from Friday at least because if they have either of those and TTC Transformers, I'll buy one and find myself with very little money. I came to the realization that my mom has six great grandkids, not five, so hopefully, I'll get another duplicate because then they can each get a gift from me for Christmas.

Moving swiftly on...

Is Berserker worth buying? I enjoyed Barricade for what he was, and Berserker does look cool. Plus I just adore the Dread designs.

Dunno. Look at video reviews and judge for yourself. I'd wait for a sale but even then, I now limit myself for the TFs I buy. After dumping so many toys to get some sweet, sweet geewun at my local geek store, I came to realise how much crap I bought before just to have something new.

So now I concentrate to only what REALLY matter. Space and money are not infinite and I'm now past buying everything in sight.

Beside, a TR Trypticon will soak most of my TF ressources for this month.

From what I've seen and read, his biggest problems are the panels not being glued in so they fall off during transformation. He still seems better than his twin Crankcase, though that's not saying much.

Found Leader Megs yesterday; like Optimus, part of me wanted to buy him since I have been interested in getting bigger versions of them to mess around with (especially with Megs's alt mode), but the reviews have been putting me off with the legs, fusion cannon, and the nosecone gimmick; plus I still need to find the Voyager version (which thanks to poor distribution all that my closest Walmart has are Grimlocks and Slashes).

Berserker has the somewhat sad honor of being the only TLK Deluxe figure that I've purchased, and I'm pretty happy with him honestly. Admittedly, I absolutely coated him in Sharpie which makes him look a fair sight nicer, and I also didn't get him for too much more than "normal" Deluxe price, so that may have colored my opinion somewhat.

It's worth noting however, that despite the other major complaint being that his vehicle mode is a total PiTA to line up all the panels correctly, I haven't had much trouble myself. Sure it would be nice if I didn't have to put any effort at all into making it come together, but I haven't found it nearly as impossible as it's often made out to be. And he looks pretty great once you've got him together, too

I like him way more than barricade, his kibble is folded away very neatly, here is my review:

https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... ker/37879/

He looks really good too:

Berserker is a cool toy, but one that sort of needs to fit into a specific type of transformer you like. He can be a bit difficult, but he looks really good, and he pretty functional too. I enjoy him, though Barricade is definitely the better deluxe

As just a quick update for the fans of the Transformers The Last Knight toy line, we wanted to let you know that some of the most hard to find figures are back in stock at Hasbro Toy Shop! Deluxe class Drift, Slug, Steelbane, and Sqweeks are all currently available to order for $19.99 USD.

This grouping of figures has been extremely hard to find in stores all across the country, so we wanted to provide a connection to a site where you could pick some up.



Stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more Transformers news and reviews!

Hopefully this means that they'll be showing up at wider retail soon.

This is something I have on my chest that I wanted to bring up: I want to make a custom DOTM Soundwave by using ROTF Soundwave's head, TLK Drift's torso and Cogman's limbs. Only problems are that distribution is really bad as of now and I'm really uncomfortable with taking figures apart. Hopefully it could work.

TLK drift is in wave 3, which is starting to make its way on Walmart.

I can glue the alt mode front since the faux chest doesn't fit the DOTM asthetic, also some epoxy clay could work make some new details.

Oh so it's more like a structural issue. Nice.
I do hope your custom will still transform.

Also, a challenge out of the left field. Why not make that Soundwave AoE/TLK style? And plot twist, no mouthplate and he have LIPS! Gasp!

But Movie Soundwave never had a mouthplate. Still, the AOE/TLK style design could work for him, maybe a Doctor Claw homage could work.

Quantum Surge wrote:But Movie Soundwave never had a mouthplate. Still, the AOE/TLK style design could work for him, maybe a Doctor Claw homage could work.

Many characters had a radical design change for the "Knight Trilogy". Just look at Barricade. So a "knight" Soundwave may also be very interesting... Especially with a face reveal!
