This is typical. The US is the country with the cheapest transformers. The way the UK works is they usually simply use the US price as a nominal value and change the Dollar sign to a Pound sign.

Even for an exclusive that's a ripoff, That's like €74 excluding P&P

But even $64.99 USD would be a ripoff for 2 deluxes and a battlemaster.

You're forgetting about the "exclusive markup tariff", that non-standard box ain't going fold or print itself

Except wasn't there some kind of leak or finding about the sets for the US being about $50? If that was true, why is the UK getting screwed so bad on price to begin with?

I don't think the prices have been announced other than "similar to the leader class price point", besides all territories that isn't the US or Japan get screwed on price and/or availability. Not that I think that's fair or right.

I would venture a guess that in the states we'll see a MRSP of $49.99 though.

Well €74 is definitely not similar to the price of a leader class. £65 is not similar to a leader class price

Two things to remember here:

1. it is a preorder Price on Amazon. From my experience using Amazon, it tends to happen that they show a higher price than what the product will be when finally in stock.

2. the MSRP leaked is higher than leader class (leader class was always the ball park in terms of it at least costing as much as a leader).

Here are the leaked MSRPs in foreign currency to compare with the leader price point:

Deluxe WFC: 169
Voyager WFC: 269
Leader WFC: 469

Greenlight WFC: 249
Firestomer WFC: 499
Skywarp WFC: 499

Owch, hopefully the set will drop in price like the potp nemesis style prime did.

I’ve seen prices where I live reach €90 for a leader, the worst I’ve seen was probably in Milan... TR leader class was more than a €100.

Hasbro Pulse is completely down as of this moment. Hopefully this means they are updating with new content - including Brunt. Pulse made this big deal out of saying they were timing their figures availability with retail availability. But I see no evidence of that. We've got Wave 3 Siege sightings in some retail outlets, but none on Pulse. And Pulse hasn't added any new figures to the roster for weeks - it's been stuck on 28 since mid-April.

The Hasbro Pulse apple doesn't seem like it's fallen far from the HasbroToyShop.com tree....

I disagree. The fact I can pre-order toys for retail price - especially when Amazon has cancelled my red alert and Jetfire pre-orders - is already a better deal Pulse has over the HTS incarnation.

I understand the frustration, but according to other online stores that wave is currently scheduled for July release.

Hasbro said their site would be synched with the retail release date, not when retail stores choose to put their items on the shelves. The wave 3 release date is in July.

Exactly.

Pulse has pre-orders, and every figure due out by Wave 3 of this year for both SS and Siege have been listed on Pulse.

Besides, there is a difference between first sighting and saturation/actual release date. We've seen all kinds of issues with the SS38 Prime and Galaxy Prime getting purchased in stores, as they were not supposed to be on shelves when they were found.

I think Pulse is more in line with other stores like BBTS and TFsource, and it is far better than HTS

We have some pretty big news regarding international Amazon sites. Firstly, Transformers Masterpiece MP-47 Hound is now available to order at Amazon Japan. At the moment, he is ￥ 13,590 which is around $125 USD. there is a $10 shipping charge as well and, as you can see below, a customs fee depending on your country. The example below is Canada, which adds almost an extra $20. Clicking the pic will get you to the listing.



For Amazon UK, we now have a listing for Siege Greenlight who is £ 33.99. Amazon UK will be getting all these Siege exclusives and seems to be the go to place for affordable Siege toys in the UK with the sought after Soundwave for only £23.99.

My lazy minions inform me that Weaponizer Brunt and Deluxe Refraktor are now available for purchase at "Hasbro Pulse". Unfortunately, the limit is 2 per person, so you can't order all three Refraktors at once! But hurry and get them, if you're having trouble finding them on the shelf!

Oh, and that Decepticon Micromaster team is there too - it's just harder to get excited about those....

Thanks, bud. Been needing to use that $5 coupon they gave me.

Studio Series Long Haul is now in stock at Hasbro Pulse. I noticed that not many people post to this thread anymore. I imagine that is because Hasbro Pulse has preorders now, so nothing much pops up. I don't recall seeing Long Haul up for preorder on the sight, but I haven't really been following that closely. People may already know about it, but in case you missed it.

For those who just can't get enough of that Moonracer mold? Nightbird is now up for pre-order at Hasbro "Pulse"!

https://hasbropulse.com/products/transf ... -nightbird

She may not be able to combine, but she can disguise herself as Moonracer, or Novastar, or Greenlight, or Lancer, or Chromia! Who can tell?

Grab this one before it disappears like a puff of ninja smoke!

Heads up for UK Amazon buyers - Siege Phantomstrike pack (Skywarp) is now listed as shipping between 21/1/20 - 27/2/20 according to the email I got.

I can't see that they've restocked it for wider release though, but it would be worth checking around then because they did that with Siege Prime and others.

Damn... gunna have to wait until I get paid after New Years and by then they’ll be gone.

I was cruising the Amazon and found a listing for all three of the world's smallest TFs by Super Impulse. Tempted, but I'm going wait to spot them at retail.

Three brand new non-transformable non-posable mini-figurines, huh? Interesting.

I have a few other things by SI under the WS line and they're pretty nice/cool/neat/novel but they normally keep the original's functionality or at least close to it. I'm not really sure how I feel about these, but I'm willing to give 'em a chance. I guess this falls under the "Hasbro won't allow competition other companies to make transforming converting Transformers" rule.

Thanks to Scotty P for letting us know that Amazon has the new Transformers Earthrise Micromasters available. For many Americans, this might be your best shot at getting them right now instead of trying to hunt them down. They are sold and shipped by Amazon, so eligible for Prime. They are both $9.99 and you can find the links below which should help since the names they are under aren't very search bar friendly.

Has anyone seen Rumble and Ratbat pop up on Amazon? Someone shared the listing that can't be accessed by search. I've been refreshing that page constantly and haven't seen a change. Can't tell if it never came in or if I missed it.

I'm having a hard time finding Rung and Ratbat on Amazon too, or in stores. Bummer!

The Hot Rod and/or Military Patrols from Amazon. But like most Amazon items, if you ordered already, you will probably get them pretty close to the in stock date. I ordered both at the same time yesterday. The Hot Rod patrol delivery date already got moved up to Feb. 9th and the Military patrol is still showing Feb. 11th.

Probably because hot rods are faster than military vehicles.

Target's weekly ad has Transformers deluxe figure for $16.99. I just pre-ordered ER Sunstreaker and SS Topspin with my Red card and then canceled my orders through Pulse. Saved $3 on each figure plus 5% for using the Red card. So glad I found out a Red card can be attached to a bank account.

Thank you for posting this! Snap is who I've been waiting for. Just ordered him now!

The Walmart Exclusive Leader Ultra Magnus disappeared form Walmarts soon after it was discounted to $35. With the Netflix show now seen by many and his heavily grey colour scheme now understood (at least thematically), a few people were hoping for another chance to own this toy, especially at the discounted price. Well, we have great news for you. Entertainment Earth reached out to us to let us know they got their hands at some overstock.

Entertainment Earth just added a former Walmart Exclusive Transformer. These are of limited availability and they’re not making any more.

Here’s the information:

Name: Transformers Generations War for Cybertron Trilogy Leader Ultra Magnus Spoiler Pack - Exclusive

Link: https://www.entertainmentearth.com/product/HSE9494

Price: $34.99

BBTS also has this toy available at that discount: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/ ... ils/132711

DAMN. I literally just ordered it for $50 yesterday, lol.

Well then, cancel it quick lol

Why does he come with putty?

Black Bumblebee wrote:Well then, cancel it quick lol

Seller had already shipped it but I'm fine. I'd rather have it this week for $50 than two months from now for 35.

For anybody else who like me was starting to worry when their Target stores were pulling the Shelf tags for the Seeker to pack, as of 8:38 eastern time this morning they are back in stock on the website and I have have finally been able to order my Thundercracker and skywarp

CobraKai wrote:Why does he come with putty?

It's literally Play-Doh, kids are supposed to bury the energon cubes in it and dig them out, no idea why. Alternatively you can use it to put a big black hole in Magnus' chest.

Because energon is a mineral that is mined, so the black Play-Doh represents the earth in which the energon is buried and must be dug out of.

SS Leadfoot is in stock on Target.com again. Ordered myself one and then ordered Topspin (who is on pre-order for $18.89) since I'm now confident I can get all 3. I'm trying to order Roadbuster on Amazon, but the stupid cart keeps changing the price from $18.84 to $34.99.



Try again later I guess.

Thank you! Leadfoot was the only one not ordered.

U.K. retailer InDemand Toys has posted a slew of product images for upcoming toys, and from multiple lines, to boot! Seibertronian Shiningstar7896 alerted us to the Facebook post containing in-package images of Studio Series 70 B-127, Studio Series 71 Dino, R.E.D Arcee and Cheetor, the "Retro" Headmaster reissues, and the Ghostbusters Afterlife version of Ectotron. Feast your eyes on these new images below!
















There are a couple of interesting things to note about these releases. First and foremost, Ectotron comes packaged in blister packaging, rather than the retro style box that his first release came in. Those retro style boxes look great on the Headmaster "reissues", and though the Headmaster partners retain their Titans Return name spellings, Weirdwolf actually gets his original name back, having been called "Wolfwire" in the previous release of the mold. The R.E.D. releases of Prime Arcee and Cheetor showcase their Action-Master (aka non-transforming) style figures, though curiously, Cheetor's head appears to be cast in a bronze colored plastic, rather than the yellow and gold of his package art. And last, but not least, B-127 is confirmed to be the full official name of of the figure.

So what do you think of these new photos? Do you plan to pick up any of these figures? Please feel free to discuss these below!

It just hit me.

Do you guys suppose that the Bumblebee's Cybertronian name being "B-127" was chosen because 127 is an anagram for 217, as in "Ladiesman217"?
