Did anyone else get REALLY delayed Amazon order confirmations for these? First they weren't showing in my order history, but eventually did, and now I'm getting email confirmations for them hours after I completed checkout.

 

If these come onto Amazon AU, then Wheeljack is an instant buy.

 

Any chances these will hit the stores this month?

 

I did for Brawn but not the others. I know AWS were having issues all day so maybe that’s why.

On another note, I know a lot of people have already said this is what Siege should have been, but seriously after looking at all of the press pics of these figures again…this really is what Siege should have been.

 

I think it was back during Kingdom on one of the Hasbro chat videos that they said they weren't going to set up Kingdom core Soundwave and Dracodon for online preorders so that it'd drive more traffic to local brick-&-mortar stores. So maybe that's what's happening here. Or maybe I'm misremembering again.

Anyway, the first place I spotted Kingdom core Soundwave and Dracodon (and Wingfinger) was new on the HasbroToyShop on eBay of all places. So I try to check in there frequently.

 

Damn, I'm really tempted to preorder but it seems usually with deluxe figures I see them in stores months before their preorder dates and I want these figures ASAP, especially Wheeljack!

 

I'm very curious about this as well... was really hoping maybe we would get a Hot Rod with red joints this time so that he wouldn't have that obnoxious yellow tetris piece stuck on his car roof. Sadly, seeing as Hasbro said in a previous SNS post that they've "revealed the entire new Studio Series wave" I'm thinking it'll just be a repack with the front illustration enlarged maybe for plastic window size reduction...  

 

It's just a fucking rectangle, it's only supposed to store inside of Soundwave. Ravage and Soundwave don't have proper disguises yet.

 

I did, was kinda worried but they are there now.

 

He's not Sad Soundwave, he's Sexy Young Marlon Brando Soundwave.

 

These look great! Can\'t wait for soundwave!

Why is shockwave a core class?, that makes no sense especially since he\'s not a space gun someone can hold

 

Just because a character is released in a certain class doesn't mean they won't have a different release in another Class size.

 

They just call him Core to make him feel important. Shockwave has an incredibly sensitive ego.

 

Could be he's a Core simply to pad the size class and help make it grow.

 

Dude, it was just an observation! No need to be hostile.

 

I’ll shit my pants and eat the deed to my house if we don’t eventually get a Voyager Shockwave.

“It’s just a fucking rectangle” sounds like a chocolate bar slogan or something.

 

Why not? As they run out of Bay guys to do at the "normal" scale they need ways to pad out the line with big names.

No different than WfC Core having Prime, Megatron, etc...

 

Yeah. While I suspect that Core Class had been added so characters like BB Ravage, TLK Mohawk and ROTB Arcee can be done to scale, they need to fill the class out with extra characters; the inclusion of a character in core class doesn't preclude it being made in a larger in-scale class.
