I'm not sure as I've been getting digital copies and using TFWiki to help me figure it all out. Looks like it starts pre-reboot and then continues with it.

 

I'm coming into the conversation late but I can shed some light, since I've been reading IDW pretty much exclusively out of these Collection books. Phase 1 is IDW phase 1, so those books cover from 2005 to probably about 2011 or so (from the Megatron origin miniseries to the end of the first Transformers ongoing). Phase 2 picks up with The Death of Optimus Prime and then collects the intertwining stories of MTMTE and RID. The Phase 2 Collection books are still releasing, so as of now they are still on the original IDW continuity, not the 2018 reboot.

 

Ah, thanks for the info!   I was getting the different phases and reboot confused as I'd forgotten about the new set of IDW comics.

 

Well go figure, about 10 mins after I posted about not getting an email for it, after I left for work I got the email. However I'm not confident thats a sign (for me anyways) with email problems. I got a pre-order alert email for those vinyl figures, but never got the email for the Kingdom stuff weeks after that.

 

...why are they having to wait until April, while everyone else is February? Dang.

 

Well maybe they are doing the opposite of what they did with Wave 2, not estimating early and estimating at a later date?

Still waiting for my Deluxe 4 pack to show up, thinking about canceling and going with Amazon or another site. But I'd rather support BBTS than Amazon..

 

Well, Amazon is now listing them as April 1st, as well. Hmm.

 

Where was it listed as a February release? I think it was also April 1st on Pulse.

 

Hasbro also has an April 1st. release for them too, so not the only ones. But it could be earlier, the Centurions came in early.

 

@SelectedLime375 out of curiosity did you get your pre-order alert email you were hoping you'd get from the other day with this new stuff? Nothing for me, but I wasn't expecting too at this point <_<

I did order the my little pony transformer beings my best friend told me her daughter wanted one real bad when seeing a pic of it. I bet I'll never get an email for anything transformers again, but anytime my little pony is added I'll get something <_<

 

Nope, I didn't get one for the new figures from today. Looks like books are a separate category.

 

See thats where I don't quite get how it works with them. I thought atleast if you ordered enough transformers stuff thats why you'd just get a pre-order alert once anything transformers was added to the site. So acourse any new figures added I get one, and sometimes non figure stuff like figurines or non transforming merchandise. Like I had shared before, I got an email weeks ago for those new transforming vinyl figures, but not for any new figures when I've been ordering several 1000s worth for years now probably. Again not end of the world, I'll still order from BBTS in the future, just an annoyance is all if I'm not made aware of something new added and maybe risk loosing a pre-order.

 

Anybody else's order seemingly stuck in OSSEO, MN?

I guess if BBTS shipment (or any packages) going through OSSEO, MN via SmartPost... that FedEx facility is notorious for not scanning packages supposedly per a Google/Reddit search.

My order has been there since 10/12 with no updates, and est 10/19 delivery date to Oregon.

 

My last shipment hit Osseo on a Thursday, then showed an arrival scan for Grove city Ohio that Saturday, so no departure scan from Osseo. Do you know the next stop on the relay?

 

No clue... I'm guessing I won't get any updates until my package is dropped off at USPS for the final leg of the delivery.  

edit:

Lol, OSSEO, MN indeed don't have package scanners.  

 

Lol my box was at Osseo, MN too

 

My Target.com order was being weird so I cancelled it and Preorder Grimlock and Jazz on BBTS.

 

It arrived this AM from a FedEx truck out of nowhere. Yay!
