SoundMaster:
Definitely going to get this. I love the Cannon Bumblebee mold, and Soundwave looks great in those colors.
neospark1:
Mail away figure. Glee! Childhood returns!

Mail away? I like mail away!

Dear Hasbro,
Remember Reflector? Please give me a new one.
I will also accept a deluxe sized mail away Dewbot.

Optimus747:
That set looks awesome, and I hope they do have a mail-away figure offer...as long as it's not another Bumblebee repaint.
Fort Max:
Mail away huh, nice to see it return but no way I am buying that set.
Ratchet2007:
I wanna see the back of the box !
Sharktibolt:
So many reasons for me to get this. I could use a second movie Bumblebee and the black Soundwave interests me a lot.
If they have another mail away figure thing I will be VERY interested to find out what it would be.
MC.Paddington1:
ANOTHER repaint? Can anyone tell me the amount of different bumblebee repaints released?
Angelwave:
So does the mail away mean new figure, or repaint and remold of an existing figure? Or are they just gonna send out a bunch of Sideways?
Autobot Burnout:
If this set has a mail-away offer, I swear I will have to get it. I LOVE getting stuff in the mail for some reason.
Plus I need this set anyways for a multitude of other reasons, so I just hope Hasbro realizes just what a "mail-away" figure will require in terms of distribution.
grimlock1972:
the mail away just might get me to buy this set assuming its not an exclusive at a store i have a hard time getting to on a regular basis and the mail away is something i want enough to own a reapaint of soundwave
Ravenxl7:
This 2-pack is pretty much at the top of my must have list. Really interesting to see that there'll be an exclusive figure offer. Hopefully the figure itself will be worth whatever you have to do to get it. I'm really hoping it's not another Bumblebee figure, though if it is, I may still get it, lol. Would be kinda funny if it was the Legends Constructicon figures. Whatever it is, I have a hard time seeing it being a new/unique mold, though that would be awesome if it was. It'll most likely be a repaint, maybe even with a slight retool.
Edit: Anybody else find it interesting that they're calling these "Special Edition" figures? Would be really nice if that yellow on Battlefield Bumblebee was similar to the yellow used on Premium Bumblebee (aka sparkly compared to the other releases). It's nice to know about when this set will be available, and roughly what the price should be. I'm hoping this'll be available at Target. Everything we know about this set currently points towards it being a wide release, so I'm not too worried about it being a store exclusive, but at the same time I wouldn't be too surprised if it turned out to be one.

They do say exclusive figure offer, so it'll be a repaint at the very least. Granted, it can be a very slight repaint and still be considered "exclusive". It could be a new mold, but I doubt it.

Hasbro has already done it in the last year with G.I. Joe. They can handle it.
Night Flame:
My guess for the exclusive figure that everyone is all wound up about: ROTF Deluxe Bumblebee with a tiny little extra blob of paint somewhere on him. Or a random Legends figure.
It's a cool concept, and I hope I'm wrong.
Automaster:
The exclusive figure will be Deluxe Aveo Swerve, previously unreleased except through car dealers and that European deal.
That'd be sweet!!
deliciouspeter:
Oy...I'm betting the mail away figure is Camshaft.
Jarodimus:
My curiosity is piqued!

And Indiana Jones. And several times in the last few years with Star Wars. They've all gone very smoothly.
tfan123:
Really want this set, because i like the Cannon BB mold, but never got the regular one, and it would make an awesome custom as Cliffjumper. Also, i think i can make Soundwave into an Autobot. Plus, i like the extra NEST stuff. So, the mail away offer sounds good. Cross your fingers, maybe it'll be one of the Primes, or maybe Elita One. Maybe the last guess
Beastbot X:
Ooo, mail-away figure. Sweeet.

STOP THAT. You're raising my expectations too much!

If it was, everyone would buy this set
U.Magnus80:
Sunuvabitch. My curiosity is going to force me to get this just to get whatever the exclusive figure is
Tell_Story:
I'll probably buy this. I don't have Soundwave and I really like the paint on this one and I don't have Cannon BB and I like the battle mask much better that the open face. The only think that kills me is that this will probably be around $25.00. Hopefully the mail away will make up for the price.
Will this be an store exclusive?
Omega Charge:
I need this. Doesn't seem to be overpriced, so definitely on the buy list now.
Excited to see the exclusive.
Mister Gone:
The mailaway figure is going to be an orange and grey repaint of armada Sideswipe.
G1Wheeljack:
Love that they're bring back mail-away figures, I just hope that it's offered with other figures or that I don't have to buy this set, as I really don't want it.
SmokescreenGT:
Nice Soundwave redeco. I'm very interested in finding out what kind of mail away figure is being offered. Hopefully, we'll know something before this set comes out.
SmokescreenGT:
Oops. Double post.
Omnius:
It's safe to say this offer will only be available in the US, knowing Hasbro...

It's because of the mistake that Tformers made in their original report about this figure. Last time I checked they also still thought that it was the Preview BB repaint that came in the set. The name Black Soundwave stuck, and has unfortunately been used ever since. Even though we now know that his main color is blue.
Andy::Won:
Definately buying this. Maybe the mail away is red Rampage?

Extremely doubtful. Back when we got the listings for Deluxe Ratchet and Lockdown from a store's computer there was also a listing for a Deluxe "Red Bulldozer" figure. If he was going to end up as a mail away figure, he wouldn't have been listed with the others.
Eric:
So, I'd have to buy a bad repaint of Soundwave and a crappy remold of Bumblebee just to get a mail-away figure?
No thanks.

Ah well, I can dream can't I?

Well at least it will be figure that would be wanted.
shibamura_prime:
Exclusive figure offer? Looks like I WILL be picking this set up after all. XD
WhiteMocha:
They should make the mail-in figure a red Autobot repaint of Sideways, named "Overdrive."
Or a purple and green repaint of Real Gear Spy Shot named "Reflector."
You know, for nostalgia's sake.
Matterzero:
A mail away! Wow I can't wait to see what it is.
Protoman:
Hasbro did it with the new Marvel Universe line......... as long as they ain't asking an arm and a leg, I am 100% game for it
*Soundwave*:
Never did get cannon BB, might as well get this since I want that Soundwave. i hope the mail away fig is cool (a bit of a stretch.....but, maybe its legends Red Rampage, or deluxe like previously suggested)
Hollywood Hoist:
I'll be buying this set and most likely the mail away figure.

While this may be true, I was calling it black because that's how it looks to me. Upon closer inspection, it still looks like a grey-ish kind of black to me.
Cyber-Kun:
I can't see the mail-away being anything bigger then a scout fig.
Of course, I love the scout figs, so I'm all over this

What if it's a repaint of Sideswip in gold named Suntreaker. That would be a trip.
Blasterpwns:
YES! I was planning on getting this, and now the mail-away is a nice bonus.
Who the figure may be is a mystery to me. Perhaps it's the scout class "Wheelie" that we haven't seen in a package yet?
