Transformers Prime First Edition Figures Update - Soon Available at BBTS and Entertainment Earth

Uh... Link? (again)

Transformers Prime First Edition to be Available at Toys"R"Us, BBTS, & Entertainment Earth - BBTS Exclusive Dark Energon Pre-Orders Open September 1st

Please do not post news threads without giving a source or proof in your initial post.

Link posted. Was working on editing the post as they went up.

Going by the link, I'd say that's a big "No, unless they buy them through other means." It's the same situation as the G2 Bruticus, just with a different retailer set.

The way things are in Asia. I doubt they will have them exclusively. But who knows?

They were TRU exclusive last year and many online retailers got them in still including myself.

I only know BBTS, is those other sites lower prices or lower shipping? how you guys determine where to order usually

With any luck it'll be like G2 Bruticus and everyone will have to sell them at the same price.

Sweet. Will nab Optimus and finally be done with all this FE business (and my Autobot cast Prime collection). No hunting for me.

I might get a FE Vehicon now that they're actually reasonably priced. I still think it's inferior to the RiD version but I want to see how it works.

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THESE. I just want a few vehicons, and one of each, Arcee, Scream cliff and Prime...

I want starscream...No official date yet?

But will they be normal retail or JACKED up double / tripple retail ? Seeing how TRU sells the normal voyager class Prime figures for 27$ i can see them jacking these up to 40$ or more for a voyager.. TRU is the scum of toy stores anymore.. And i hope the cases are not jacked up as well with BBs that dont sell..

Wait Terrorcon Cliffjumper? Like the one that was never released? or just the normal FE one with no Battle Damage/Dark energon

Can't wait to see how BBTS prices these.

^ THIS
Was wondering bout this myself. I already have FE Prime & Bulkhead but if i can snag one for my son for retail I'll be all over this.

Sept 1st?! Awesome. Gonna get Dark energon Prime / Megs/ BB@ 'Goldbug' and Slicer/WJ

I think the carded in Vehicle mode Terrorcon Cliffjumper will be the best one made as it should have tampographed damage on it rather than silly stickers like the SDCC one has. He's supposedly swapping out Bumblebee so there's should be two Cliffs in the wave the regular and terrorcon version.

I hope some place gets the entertainment pack at a good price I'd like one of those wee Primes.

It's not to hand, but i don't recall my SDCC Cliffjumper having any stickers.

yeah, it ain't stickers on the SDCC one. its more like the arms micron terrocon painted red with certain unpainted parts to represent the dark energon in him i guess. ...oh and a new head too.

so im curious to see how this tcj will be. think im in for prime, bulk, and vehicon maybe.

I need starscream and CJ. My FE prime arrived with broken light piping so if he's not too expensive I'll get another one and a Dr. Wu face for the damaged one.

Cool, good to hear the FEs will be available from more sources, as it's a pain finding stuff at TRU for me locally. I'm definitely looking to get one FE Vehicon, while Terrorcon Cliffjumper, Bulkhead and Prime are maybes.

As for the Dark Energon stuff, I'm surprised preorders are going up on a Saturday on a holiday weekend; I'll have to check their website, of course, but would expect them more likely either tomorrow or the 4th. While I'm trying to avoid repaints, I love clear plastic and Starscream (Skywarp), Knockout (Wasp) and Wheeljack (Slicer) can all be repurposed easily enough.

BBTS Exclusive Dark Energon Knockout. Has Classics Nerf gun Megatron's color scheme.

I found a FE Starscream at the TRU in White Plains NY on Monday. Dont know if it was old stock (no dust on it) or from the re-release. I have been there many times at its on my way home from work and I had never seen it there before.

Bah, no FE Cliffjumper (standard variety)? That kinda stinks, I've been holding off of RiD CJ because of this.

Oh man this is sad news for myself and the handful of other "sane" collectors where I live...

Our TRU is so scalperific that every time something is announced as a "Tru exclusive" we all just throw our hands up and accept that it may as well not be getting an American release at all.

It's a whopping $30 shipped on eBay.

Even if it were at TRU by the time you're done with TRUs price padding on exclusives, tax, gas you'll probably blow the bones of $20 anyway.

Push the boat out, or skip lunch a couple of days.

Don't forget Knockout/Wasp!

Cool. I already have most of the original FE releases but may bite on a lighter green colored FE Bulkhead. I got the darker green Takara release at Japanese retail but I'm curious how the two stack up.

Sweat.

I need the Voyager Prime and Vehicon.

Frackin sweet! Need FE Prime and Bulk and plan on snagging the DE Starscream and Wheeljack. best news this week!

I foresee these Deluxes going for between 17 and 20 bucks.. I hope not, but it scares me knowing that they know how badly we want these, and on top of that, them being exclusives..

Voyagers, I'm even more afraid of because we NEVER got those in the US...

Inflated BBTS prices vs TRU?

I'll take my chances with TRU.

Hope to get me Cliffy, OP, and Bulkhead now that they should be easier to get.

Glad to be finally be able to get an FE Prime and Starscream soon.

If it ends up like G2 Bruticus, Hasbro may mandate that the prices be the same...

Got the AM Skywarp and will get the TFCC Slipstream via the sub so really don't need that mold again, especially since I have the Prime Voyager SS. Arcee, have the NYCC pink exclusive and again deluxe Prime so pass. Terrorcon Cliffy, gots the AM version no need. Vehicon all over that one though...only because I have yet to find the Prime deluxe in the wild.

As for the Dark Energon figures. I most likely will end up getting Megs and Prime to combine with AM Unicron. The deluxes...SS and BB pass. Wheeljack and Knockout I will most likely pass, but if they went on clearance at BBTS then I may pick those two up then.

FYP.


That word makes me think you'll be standing outside at opening time, with the Hot Wheels collectors.

I wonder if the Asia exclusives will also get split between TRU and an online retailer.

sweet, I might pick up a Prime if I see him, But I did pretty good on FEs the first time around.

PASS!

I am aghast with shock at this unbelievable statement by you.

I still want the FE Voyagers, but I have to admit there would be morbid humor in BBTS and other online retailers pulling the rug out at the last second again (or Hasbro pulling the rug out from under BBTS again, or however you want to phrase it).

Makes me wonder if TRU isn't ordering as many or decreased their order last minute freeing up stock for EE and BBTS?

Either way assuming they're comparably priced to retail, I'll be going through BBTS.

I really hope that since FE includes Bumblebee, TRU won't hesitate on purchase many cases in order to reduce the yellow wall.

But I know these will be a bitch to find anyways.

Aby exact date when bbts will put these up?

Try alerting your TRU store managers of this Scalper situation.
