We thank o.supreme for letting us know that there are some great preorders available now. Just to give you an idea of how momentous this is, this is a toy that was selling for $350 USD plus shipping on e-bay just last week, as we can see in the thumbnail.

I missed both sets the first time around, but honestly, I kinda don't see the point in getting them this time around.

Most of the Siege Cybertronian mode figures have been replaced with the Earthrise/Kingdom/Legacy Earth mode figures, Slamdance is just a red and blue Flywheels that doesn't actually look like the real Slamdance, and of the Battle Masters, Schrute was meant to go with Spinister, but Spinister's already getting a new release with both of his Targetmasters included.

And while Fracas can go with SS86 Scourge and both Trenchfoot and Terror-Daxtyl are neat as new original characters, I can't see myself justifying $100 plus tax for just three little Battle Masters.

Some fans really like the aesthetic of the Cybertronian Tetrajet, and want to get them all. Skywarp was arguably the most difficult to obtain once it was out of stock on Amazon. Probably still missing from many fans collections.

Me personally. I too just wanted the BM's (yes go ahead and laugh... 8-} ) . But fortunately I was able to find them parsed out on eBay back in 2019 for reasonable prices.

LOL, I repainted an extra Siege Thundercracker into Skywarp when TC was dirt cheap way back when it was in deep clearance at TRU Canada.

It's a great mold and a good reissue for those that missed it and want to complete a set of Siege "Tetrajet" Seekers. I still love the mold to this day. Back then I was sure no Voyagers before or after can beat it in term of articulations.... but then years later, Legacy Cybertron Starscream happend and matched it. It's just amazing to me it's the seekers that can pull off so many cool & dynamic poses.

I might still get this reissue if I can it on clearance. It's good to not worry about paint chipping on my repaint. But with the Canadian Loonie down in the dumps in exchange, the price bits too much. Damn trade war!

Last year, I paid the big bucks on eBay to get that Sideswipe. Having known...

Have the quality issues with Slamdance been fixed? When it originally came out mine had the broken hip problem, and luckily I was able to get a replacement--just had to loosen the screws first

Just on Pulse. These arent exclusive so you can get them at any online collectible store that carries transformers.

Tbf, when Siege was hitting we were in a time period where that was unwise. We've cycled back around to a time when it's hard to argue against it :glares at Mando crossover on Walmart site:

Though for this particular case I do think it seems like a poor idea. Bust potential much higher than any realized benefit of waiting on clearance.

I reviewed the Siege Skywarp set a while back! (Use the link below)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhBPrOqH25c

I sold the set after I felt I'd gotten all the enjoyment out of it that I could - I didn't get $350, but I did get a lot! It was one of the best ROIs I had in recent years! Glad that I did it before they made this announcement.

Still - why the (bleep) aren't they re-issuing the Centurion Drone/Weapon pack? Now THERE was a figure that almost nobody could get....

Same opinion here, I'm still waiting for them to re-issuing the Centurion Drone/Weapon pack as well :(

Meanwhile (well, a week ago now), Super7 put up preorders for another run of their Thundercats Ultimates Wilykit, Wilykat, and a version of Lion-O that was getting too expensive on the secondary market.

Looks like a positive trend in toy manufacturers responding to fan demands.

867 Magnus and legacy Beachcomber agree

I was just surfing around BBTS and to my surprise! :shock: I'd definitely pick up another Galaxy Prime for this cool looking set provided some video reviews come out to see if its worth getting....'nuff said! :VEHI:

I got the normal Nova Prime version of that set and it's great. It really completes the Nova Prime figure in many regards that it was lacking in.

But that Optimus version? I look at it and just go, "But... why, though?" Besides the obvious capitalist answer of "Because, MONEY!"

This set just takes Optimus and makes him look evil. Like a Cybertronian wraith covered in blood, which is kinda edgelord-y in a very shallow way. There's no basis for this set's existence other than to turn Optimus into some try-hard's fanfic OC.

Well yeah because of Money...duh! 8-}

But nice to know the kit is set is great, hopefully no Mold issues. I really dig the head piece shown above over the other one that's included! :VEHI:

GODDAMMIT Sabrblade!
I don't have 200$+ extra to spend, hunting down a Galaxy upgrade OP on the secondary market and then, buying that expensive upgrade kit, you tease! :-(

But seriously, having the extra cash and space, I would so do it. :michaelbay:

If you want some version of the set, go for the Nova Prime version and give it to Nova himself. It's a great set that really makes that Nova figure shine, as it was Nova whom the set was first made for.

Whereas this version is more like "Let's make a grim and gritty version of Optimus Prime, in the vein of The Batman Who Laughs". >:oP

Already done. The only thing missing is the expensive Reprolabels set to make it truly 100% complete. ;)
