Just like what I said in post 1319.

The collector store in the next town from me posted preorders a week ago. So I rushed home and made my order for one set of Leader Class and one set of Voyagers, plus a set of Deluxes and Voyagers of wave 2. I think the store still has preorders now.

Plus I admit I am a big fan of Leader Class Blackout ever since 2007. But I thought I saw that last of my fandom since 2011 until Studio Series surfaced.

 

Yeah, I've been pining for one for a long while now, just as most of the movie fandom has, but I think he's a bit too small to go with my current collection. That Alt mode looks HUGE though. Looks as long as Jetfire, but with more bulk since it's not a flat plane.

 

Nice try though!

I mean I intended to get it at Anime Export where they would sell it for 30% off. But since they said they won't be carrying them, the collector store was my last hope.

I just wouldn't be surprised if Leader Class Blackout was a limited time offer. However, I'm on the verge of seeing if any Walmarts will have any street dates broken because lots of my Walmarts tend to release street date toys at least a month early.

 

I wonder if we'll get a new tanker truck Megatron? Would probably still be a voyager but I'm sure it'd be better than what came out of the DOTM line.

 

Hey...... i actually like that thing. But ya, i personally see no real reason to release a new one, i mean that one was pretty good as well as accurate...... so not sure what the point of a new one would be. (if its for an accurate gun we already got that with aoe prime.)

 

Is this line going further than the ones already announced or is it done after these?

 

We know for a fact it’ll be at least 4 waves, though they seem to be planning it to continue for some time.

 

The real question is if wave 4 will have a deluxe and leader part as well

 

Hopefully the Deluxes, but I doubt the Leaders.

 

I can't remember but aren't Ironhide and revenge of the fallen Starscream the wave 4 and 5 voyagers? Btw I'm down for buying two Starscreams I love the new mold

 

Ironhide is 3, starscream is 4, then there’s an unknown voyager code named destroyer who is believed to be Bonecrusher, and has no wave assigned. We also know there are bee movie figures coming as part of thisine on top of the unannounced DOTM ratchet, and KSI trax bots. And there’s a 3rd leader UPC we know nothing about.

 

that at least confirms the tail lights are painted, and even with that backpack this is drastic improvement over the AOE one....

 

FWIW, it's at least a solid backpack. Almost like a turtle shell.

I feel like if the rear parts somehow had tucked under the roof it would've been a lot cleaner.

 

if anyone's interested.... have rotf voyager screamer up for sale.....

 

Anyone know when Megatron, Brawl, Lockdown, And Jazz get released. They are saying it’s July 28th. However, for Wave 1 they are saying they were released April 28th when they were actually released at the end of March. So maybe Sometime in the middle of June?

 

Is wave 2 the end of this line until 2019? That would make me sad to wait that long for more since I’ve enjoyed wave 1 so much. I’d love to have another wave to look forward to for later this year, unless they’re saving that time for Bee movie figs? I’m also hoping there’s more than 1 or 2 figures from that line that are of interest to adult collectors.

 

No Not even close 2018 will still have

Vw bumblebee
Tf3 ratchet
Unknown hero - bluelight
Raider
Ksi sentry
Unknown
Red light ?

Also given what we know there's one missing slot between brawl and tf2 starscream no 21
So a mystery deluxe possibly. And with the confermation of a second decepticon codenamed red light that makes 2.

Ironhide
Tf2 Starscream
Optimus
Bonecrusher

A 3rd leader class

And then 2019 has at least 9 figures confirmed at the moment

 

I know takara will have their preorders up on may 31st some sites have them up already so mid June is a good bet.

 

But it's a fact that they have gotten smaller? The amount of plastic you get for the same price is definitely less than what it was before. I mean, compare 2007 Voyager Starscream to SS Starscream. The gimmicks might have been intrusive, but they added to the weight and complexity of the figure.
