Video Reviews for Transformers Legacy Crankcase and Dead End

We have not one but two video reviews to share with you today. Both are for wave 3 Legacy deluxe toys and both are from JoeyBoy. If anyone wonders how people can get toys so early, well we already posted a link in the SG Perceptor story where even that never before seen toy was available. Some fans wanting early reviews just buy from those Asian sites like Shopee and pay extra on top of that for a forwarding service, mystery solved for anyone wondering.

About Crankcase though, fans who preordered on Amazon.com are saying that it shows the toy as being shipped soon. Which would be nuts as the wave 2 deluxes haven't even shipped yet form them. So we'll see, could just be an error in the system.

Let us now what you think of these two toys!

Amazon is already shipping Crankcase early in the US. Mine is supposed to be here Monday along with Skullgrin. Wasn't expecting either until January.

Did they actually ship? Or just show the date moved up. Apparently Amazon moved a bunch of dates on different products up, but they didn't ship and then the dates fell back again. A buddy had that happen with the Black Series Dark Troopers yesterday

Hard to tell. My minions have had Legacy Blitzwing on order from Amazon for several months. It's 'scheduled' to ship in October. But the figure has been popping up on store shelves for at least 2-3 weeks, so I'm wondering why Amazon hasn't bumped up their shipping dates as well. Clearly, their ways are not our ways....

Looking at it, it doesn't say they have actually shipped. I guess I'll find out Monday...

people have been talking about shopee on reddit for a while now it wasn't until recently that someone other than PvP got his figures early, when asked he said "the same place PvP and most of the reviewers get their stuff from early, a site called shopee."

So anyone that gets their figs super early now we know where they are getting them from.
But now where is shopee getting them from?

I still say some guy stole and smuggled Scorponok out using his prison pouch.

:p

Shame crankcase didn't come with skids extra guns as they could have been worked into extending the shoulder cannons in bot mode. The front frill as a weapon looks garbage, if it was modular then it could have been cooler. The decepticon symbol facing is one thing that has been corrected so yay.

Honestly, I dont have a strong opinion either way if others use it. Admittedly it would be pretty cool to be the first person to report finding something, but at the cost of shipping that is more than the item itself, and for it to come by dubious means (often without packaging, and sometimes missing accessories), isn't worth the hassle.

Still, maybe one of us will be like the guy in Las Vegas (or Arizona? I cant remember), that happened to find Kingdom Rhinox at a good ol' Target, and be the first to seemingly have it, before any of the early reviewers.


Anyway...outside of Motormaster and Metroplex (which to me are technically outside of normal waves since they are one offs), I haven't seen anything from Legacy Wave 2 in my area, nor anything from SS beyond the first wave early this year.

I did get Red Cog from a local Target, and have seen all the Velocitron stuff at Walmart aside from Scourge. (well I actually didn't see Cosmos or Clampdown, but their 3 less popular wave mates were easily found)

The same thing happened with my Dark Trooper but I think it was the Deluxe Vintage Collection version. The date got pushed back to later in September but it's still coming early.

A lot of the guys on the TFW2005 Amazon thread have gotten emails saying the wave 3 figures now have no delivery dates or they did the credit card trick and the shipping was updated to no delivery date. My gut tells me these won't be coming early, I just hope it's not older stock that has been mismarked with the wrong UPC, good luck then getting the Wave 3 figures from Amazon.

I just had UPS drop off the Wave 2 deluxe figures from Toy Arena, I got tired of waiting for Amazon to ship one figure out at a time.

Folks at the Allspark were confirming a similar state with the Botbots boxed set, or something?

Did they move back too? It makes ZERO sense to me that these sets will be released almost a YEAR after the show promoting them aired.

So a hinge on motormaster that holds the white part of his shoulder onto his body has completely split, so that's great, hoping it doesn't ruin anything on the figure

That's weird, and definitely leaves a question as to whether there's an effect on the figure long-term.
