Airachnid look a bit weird. I'll wait for the real toy pictures.

Windcharger is pretty much perfect, as expected.

As for TLG Barricade, he's making a the face of someone who is pretty happy to witness the reaction of all the people stuck with him in the elevator where he just farted. :lol:

Oh, neat. Windcharger comes with an atomic fart accessory.

Where HE just farted? The magnetic field effect being placed on Windcharger's back in bot mode makes it look like he just found some wild lode-stones hard to digest. Is there going to be a retcon that that's what actually did him in between Movie scenes, so Arcee was moving him next to Wheeljack's corpse to make it look like he died heroically rather than in a self-induced ion-storm? "No, a whole armada of Decepticons flew right through him, really, it was horrible!" Until now, I always assumed she was just arranging the corpses alphabetically.

In bot mode, Airachnid looks like one of those rocking-horse-people The Beatles sang about, but she'll probably be bought on sight, as this could still be her first really good official toy.

Oh man... I don't like Windcharger's legs. Super thick and knee ankle tilts.

Doesn't look like Windcharger can bend his knees more than slightly, that's unfortunate.

Oof, that Windcharger, and they want to charge more for this kind of stuff. lol
I mean it's not a total dud, but the legs feel a bit lacking not having actual feet and especially at a higher price point. Definitely will wait for a sale on that one.

Though TBH, most of the remaining minibots aren't that important to me aside from Powerglide, and are basically background stuff. My main interest is them nailing Powerglide so that I don't haev that feeling of "I can wait".

Preordered Barricade and Nemesis Prime today, even got them from Walmart where they don't have the new MSRP!

Can't wait to get them, they both look great!

When the preorders of these new SS open up in Canada, especially Amazon.ca, I wonder if the price will be increased or remain the same? :-?

Why would they go up? Canada ain't the 51st state of the US.

Irrelevant.
The price of pretty much everything has doubled since the last decade. So...

Preorders are up for the new SS at Amazon.ca and good news for my fellow Canadians. No prices increase!

Yay!

Several new Studio Series toys had their official stock images dropped alongside their preorder listings last week during Hasbro's observance of "Transformers Day". While this latest wave of Studio Series toys was mostly revealed at or before this year's San Diego Comic Con, one particularly noteworthy new reveal in this batch is for a Leader Class Soundwave with new versions of Ravage, Buzzsaw and Laserbeak included.

As a special treat, collectors in the United States get to keep suffering the consequences of poor voting decisions compounded with continued corporate greed, with this latest sucker punch of price increases ranging from (very roughly) 10 - 20% across the board. Only time will tell where the ceiling is on pricing, but each increase almost certainly sets a new floor that is unlikely to ever be decreased.

Preorder links and images follow, though do note that some of these toys may already be listed as sold out:

Leader Class Soundwave

Leader Class Nemesis Prime (The Last Knight)

Voyager Class Alpha Trion (Transformers One)

Deluxe Class Airachnid (Transformers One)

Deluxe Class Barricade (The Last Knight)

Soundwave looks good, but the cassettes are pretty . . . meh.

They actually used a broken Soundwave sample for their official stock photography, and now you can't unsee it!

You can rage against the tariffs all you want, but it's hard for me to get worked up over the prices going up on stuff I wasn't going to buy in the first place. These things haven't been worth the asking price long before Cheeto Prime took office. That cackling Spirit Halloween door decoration could be in office right now and the prices would still be the same.

I'm not raging against anything, I thought it was funny. As far as your comments about whether or not this level of inflation was inevitable regardless of who is in office, I'll leave that part alone. I thought the paragraph was funny so I gave it a nod, but I've no interest in diving deep into political debates on a transformers forum lol

Yeah, my response was far more accusatory than was intended. I should have said "WE can rage . . .. " I guess my point was greed is greed, no matter the political affiliation of the idiots in charge.

Well, to be fair, Americans had the LOWER toy prices in the whole world since ever.
That time is simply over.
