26 minutes left till that gets confirmed

 

True but my Lcs says there's nothing from tfs today just marvel legends.

Hooe you're right man

 

It'd be nice to get orders for Tigatron, Shadow Panther and Waspinator, but I doubt it. We shall see though.

 

Hasbro still has a huge pile of Transformers product that's come out/coming out the back half of this year that they've failed to promote in any way - and that's not including kid-centric lines like Cyberverse or Rescue Bots. We went an entire Summer with just two Fan First Fridays for the entire brand and the marketing team only chose to highlight a total of six Studio Series 86 figures.

Meanwhile, most online retailers ended up putting up their own preorders for the handful of live action Studio Series reveals that were unceremoniously dumped on Instagram on a Sunday (without a unified preorder drop, and with some like Grindor having already been at physical retail for a bit) - and now we've got retailer exclusive Generations product and Kingdom figures hitting brick and mortar without any official reveals or preorders for the vast majority of it.

Heck they've completely skipped over Studio Series Deluxe Wave 14 at this point since as far as we can tell Perceptor is Wave 15/2022.

 

Some nice marvel reveals for those interested but nothing tf.

Damn I had hoped to be wrong.

Tfs appear to be getting the short end of the stick promotion wise.

 

Y'all need to stop hyping yourselves up expecting something every single Tuesday

 

Totally agree

 

Kind of hard when Hasbro keeps spoiling SW and Marvel fans every other week.

 

As a sw fan and collector we don't get an announcement every week.

But tfs does seem to get pushed aside a bit.

 

To be fair, 80% of their releases can use parts from older releases. Bit harder on transformers. 

 

No tfs revealed or preorders posted on this tf tuesday. Looks like I'm buying 3rd party stuff this week. Thanks Hasbro.

 

I’ve got a ton of stuff coming my way in the next two months so I don’t mind the break on preorders… if it doesn’t show up on Pulse it will show up elsewhere.

 

Looks like it's marvel this time.

 

My theory is that Hasbro has to push Marvel and Star wars since they have to pay for the IP.

 

It gets real tedious clicking on this thread every Tuesday just to see someone ask "will something happen today?"

 

yup. They probably sell better too. Transformers is more niche right now.

 

then just get rid of the entire Transformer Tuesday idea

 

It was only ever a consistent thing for like one specific month when they started it, and they laid out how many weeks it would last. It's mostly the fandom that has kept it going to their own disappointment.

 

Wave 14 so far as we know is just ROTF Sideswipe as the new figure. That said he has yet to be revealed. At this rate he’s likely to just drop randomly much like Kingdom Red Alert.

This is why I’m hoping Rise of the Beasts does well. I’m not banking on it doing amazing and changing everything, but it could help breathe some new life into the brand and bring more people in.

 

I feel like it has a shot. I think the Bumblebee movie is slowly building an audience on streaming and home video kind of like the Phase 1 Marvel movies.
