Transformers: The Last Knight Wave 1 Toys Now Available At Hasbro Toy Shop

No deluxe Barricade? RIPOFF!!!

I'm still just hoping I can find what I want at Target tomorrow. Considering lately when Hasbro releases stuff (Star Wars and I've noticed Marvel especially) there's a release of several figure lines/waves on the same day - Marvel Legends X-Men and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 were released at the same time a month or so ago. My that logic (and I'm completely prepared to be wrong) since Last Knight stuff is released tomorrow and Titans Return and Last Knight preorders finally hit BBTS estimated for tomorrow we might actually finally get TR wave 4 too. That's what I'm counting on, anyway.

I get that materials don't cost the same forever and ever, but a jump that high is a jump TOO high. Not when TR figures were $15 at retail.

Where did you find TR deludes for $15?!?! Every where in California is 18-20 for deluxes and all they have is twinferno!

Seriously? That sucks big time. Up in Oregon I've found all my TR deluxes at $15.30 or so, I have no clue why it's not the same everywhere.

What makes it even better is that they only restock wave 3 and the first deluxe I find per wave is the one they always have the most of.

Sounds about right. Hot Rod is the one I see most often but Twinferno is right behind him. I only got/wanted Hot Rod and Triggerhappy, so waiting for wave 4 has been torture - I want 3/5 of those guys.

Maybe we should switch threads if you want to talk about Titans Return stuff more.

Good idea, but I'll leave you with this. The reason twonfwrno peg warms is because he has little customization potential, over packing, and spotty QC, not to mention the bland color scheme for younger audiences looking at him at a store. I'm guessing this will happen with wave 1 bee and slash, especially since you can't even generic army build unlike Berserker and to a lesser extent, Barricade. (Also in cal TLK deluxes are $21 and I don't want to know how much voyagers are)

I completely agree. I did initially want Twinferno, he looked cool and I'm pretty sure he was on the Lost Light. The bad beast mode pegs and, like you said, dull colors put me off and I bought Triggerhappy instead. I don't regret that one bit.

I think TLK deluxes are supposed to be $20 now unfortunately, and Voyagers $30. I'd guess voyagers will be marked up to maybe $32-33 or so if it's similar to your deluxes, and that just plain sucks. There's a reason (outside of mold reuse) that I'm only buying like 4 of the Last Knight toys.

Hmm, Berserker looks...OK I guess. Might go for the DotM version instead though. Or buy both, I dunno.

I've had a tradition since ROTF where I would get the deluxe Bumblebee for the new movie in the first day they came out, but I don't think I can continue that since the wave 1 Bumblebee isn't what he looks like in the movie. I'll wait for the new mold Bumblebee later this year.

I'll have to check Toys R Us tonight or tomorrow.

Rats, same for me! I'd check later in the day if you can manage though, one of my Targets I called said they had a couple boxes, but they weren't out on the shelf yet. I'm going to recheck mine in a couple hours on my way to Toys R Us. Fred Meyer was even worse, they said they had some new figures but weren't putting them out until tomorrow because they didn't have space on a shelf, and I'm going to go visit my parents out of state tonight! If I get lucky maybe I'll find something over there if I can't get what I want today.

Well since the toys are out, I look forward to people sharing their thoughts. Am I the only one who is unimpressed with these?

There are 3 new molds in wave 1 (in terms of non gimmick toys) and in order of best to worst I would say:

Voyager Optimus Prime
Deluxe Berserker
Deluxe Barricade
