Quickslinger And Brake-Neck Now Available At BBTS, TFSource, TRU & Target

Posted by Autobot032 May 22, 2015 at 2:30am CDT 29,316 views
Ah, Quickslinger (Slingshot) and Brake-Neck (Wildrider), you've finally come along to G1-ify our Superions and Menasors.

First, it was Amazon!

Then, it was Walmart!

And now both BBTS and TFSource get their listings out there for all to shop! (It should also be noted that they both played by the rules and followed the street date of 5/22 (AKA May Mayhem) while Amazon and Walmart did not.)

Up first, the BBTS listings for Brake-Neck and Quickslinger:

Brake-Neck

Quickslinger

You'll notice that they're both currently sold out, but don't panic. A quick read of either figure's sales page will bring you to this very important disclaimer that you must read and follow in order to receive your much needed figures.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to an extremely limited supply from Hasbro, we are enforcing a strict limit of ONE PIECE PER PERSON on this item. We realize the site will allow you to check out with more than one piece, we kindly ask that you order only 1 piece. Orders for more than 1 piece will be delayed, manually reduced, and refunded. Please help us make this process smooth by ordering only one piece.

Please also note that we will be releasing inventory in two waves. The first wave at 12:00 Midnight Eastern Standard Time and the second wave at 10:00 AM Eastern Standard Time on 5/22.


So, as you can see, one per of each figure and the second wave will be available later this morning at 10:00 AM EST/7:00 AM PST

And now for the TFSource listings, both of which are preorders and neither figure is currently in stock at the current time, but are expected on 5/25 and are on their way to the warehouse as we speak.

http://tfsource.com/combiner-wars-web-exclusives/

They also have a disclaimer which must be read, quoted below
Now up for preorder - Combiner Wars Quickslinger & Brake-Neck! Order yours here: http://tfsource.com/combiner-wars-web-exclusives/
These are en route to the warehouse and instock next week,we have a limited amount of each, strict limit of 2 pieces per customer, while supplies last!


Target and TRU also have them available. (NOTE: They have no restrictions mentioned, so apparently there are no limitations as to how many you can order at a time.)

Target

TRU

Brake-Neck http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.js ... age=search

With BBTS already sold out on one wave, the second surely to sell out, and TFSource also receiving a small amount, now's the time to preorder or start button mashing asap. Even more so if you're an Australian collector, since it's been confirmed that they will not receive distribution in Australia, sadly.

While you're waiting for your order/preorder to be filled, check out our galleries of these two new Combiner Wars additions by clicking on Quickslinger and Brake-Neck's names.

Hopefully I will be able to get these from BBTS with the 2nd wave. The fact we couldn't preorder these really annoys me

Winchargers electric field provided the static electricity to hold them together. And Mirages hollogram powers provided the disguise. There was no Autobot combiner. It was an illusion. We never saw what was under the hologram. And even if you have a vivid enough imagination that you want to "pretend" that this was what was under the hologram, they used the wrong autobots. So its not even a homage to the masquerade episode. Its just a really lazy repaint. Ironhide with no window on his chest ? Cmon now ? Sorry to be such a killjoy, but I stand by my opening comment. These repaints are really going to suck...


I'm gonna be that guy, cause it's buggin me.

Mirgae's holograms? No. That would be Hound, who wasn't part of that combiner. Mirage was, and his "power" is invisibility.


Besides Mirage's invisibility, he can actually change how he appears, albeit in limited duration. Mirage aka Dragstrip (re-watch the show Masquerade again) and you'll hear Mirage state so...about maintaining the Menasor head.



I always took Mirage's Line "and I can hold this phoney face" to be a thinly veiled complaint abou having to look like Dragstrip, as there was never any other insinuation that his power was anything other than just invisibility.

Does anybody know whether or not Amazon will restock these today? I didn't think to get them during the earlier selling and have since decided I need Brake-Neeeee...Wildrider. That, and I have $32 in gift credit...

The only thing you can do to be sure as of right now is to go to the links in our news post here, and just keep refreshing the page until they show up. Once they do, I'd act fast. (Really fast.)

Target and TRU also have them available.

Got mine from Target as well. Glad I saw this article this morning, I usually miss out like when they appeared on Wal-Mart's site. Question though, are all signs pointing toward these classic limb bots being only available online? If not, at least this saved me the gas money trying to drive around and looking for them, like the wave two deluxes... Still cannot find any and someone found wave 3 deluxes in my area already.

Because this is a limited release I went with Target. 5% off and free shipping. Not as good as what might be available from HTS in a month or two, but there's still a chance HTS won't get any stock if us collectors move on it quickly through everyone else. And even if HTS does get Quickslinger, it will probably sell out instantly. Still hope I can get Ultra Magnus via a good sale through HTS this summer. Although I might go with Target for that, too.

While you are technically correct, tf wiki describes it as "mirages illusion powers" in their description of the episode "masquerade". Thats where I got my info from totally forgot hounds hollograms. If it bothers you here that much, e-mail tfwiki and tell em to change it.

Quickslinger and Brake-Neck are internet exclusives for major stores as well as available via Diamond to comic book and collector stores as they purchase product through them. But I'd expect markups at those places.

An illusion isn't specifically the same thing as a hologram.

Okay, the nerd in me needs to clarify:

I realize BBTS said 10 AM EST, but they mean 10 AM EDT. That's what happened last night, they went live 12 AM EDT. I'd hate for someone to miss out by being off by an hour. :-B

(Likely most won't be confused, but....)

Quickslinger (http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/transforme ... ger?BR=496) and Brake-Neck (http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/transforme ... 6&ID=34668) (as well as Cyclonus) are for sale on HTS right now.

If anyone tried to get them from BBTS last night...man was the website slow. I thought it was going to crash and it took 3 tries to get through an order for (1) Quickslinger. Now I'm sorry I stayed up and even bothered as I just ordered a complete set of the 2 for $36.10 from Target when Quickslinger alone cost me almost $25 shipped from BBTS. I also got (1) Brake-neck from Walmart that's coming site to store. Funny how the tax on site to store shipping is less then if I had purchased directly from store. All together I spent roughly $75 bucks for (2) complete sets...works for me. I just have to play the waiting game now. :BANG_HEAD:
