Honestly i've been pretty busy today at work, but I had a moment.

The reason I brought this up is because maybe remember they're toys next time and to not get unnecessarily angry for no reason. These are toys and are absolutely no reason to get mad about and go on a "NO YOURE WRONG IT DOESNT EXIST" rant.

Also I didnt "dig it up". Your replies to me were literally 4th or 5th on my alert drop down.

Edit: actually its my fault. Just now saw your sub title of "artist with a temper". Shoulda seen that earlier.

 

GOT EM! Lol

 

Hey you know what's really cool? There's going to be a new Blaster figure at retail. That's really cool. What a great thing to happen for all of us who're excited for this figure!

 

Where is the source from Hasbro that shows which figures are part of what wave? I have only ever seen that term on their website in relation to Black Series cases.

 

I don't know if it's publicly available or even something they provide at all. Digital retailers like Entertainment Earth will list full cases by their wave number and size class, so I figure that Hasbro lists it somewhere for distributors to see. But it's pretty easy to figure out the waves without that info. When a new case comes out, the stuff inside is the next wave. So fan lists exist organizing every line by wave.

 

It's on the main page... Hasbro confirmed, today, that Blaster is part of wave 5. Pipes and Slammer were going to be wave 4, but got bumped to wave 5 (which a lot of places solicit it as) as a filler wave to bridge the gap until Legacy wave 1 comes out.

They called it wave 5.

 

Video? Website press release? I need a source directly from Hasbro.

 

Well I'm glad we found something else to focus on instead of the actual Blaster reveal. That was a scary couple of minutes there.

 

It's front page news here on the site.

 

I mean... Why can't you just go look at the front page, yourself? Why do you distrust what you read here? I don't get it, I'm genuinely curious.

Here are screenshots:

Here's the link that leads directly to the news: Kingdom Wave 5 in 2022, Voyager Blaster, and TF Team Roundtable Recap - Transformers News - TFW2005

I... don't know how else to explain it. I'm trying though.

 

I don't see Pipes and Slammer confirmed yet.

 

That's weird that they're not putting up pre-orders and just having them live on January 1st...

I wonder why that is.

 

I don't know any of you. That's just something somebody from this website wrote. It's not directly from Hasbro.

As an example, this would be proof these Star Wars Black Series figures are wave 1:

Star Wars The Black Series 6-Inch Action Figures Wave 1 Case – Hasbro Pulse

 

Sus

 

...but retailers have called the assortment wave 5. Do you not trust them because they're Entertainment Earth and not Hasbro Pulse?

I'm so confused, right now. As for trust, I don't trust a lot of people I don't know but only within reason. Beyond that level of trust, if we don't have it, then we probably shouldn't be on social media.

I never got the impression that the staff of TFW2005 would lie about an interview with Hasbro, it's just such an odd thing to throw one's integrity in the garbage over.

(I'm so, so confused right now.)

 

Ok, at this point, I think you’re just screwing with us..  

 

Possibly because of the issues with the supply chains, but also maybe because ultimately pre-orders for retail product are really pointless.

Just like right now on Pulse or Amazon you have a bunch of stuff on preorder that's already showed up at Walmart, Target, and even Macy's a month or more ago.

 

  Yeah, okay.

 

Oh yeah, Eject being Energon infused and thus clear plastic makes sense since he's pulled-forward from Legacy.

*Laughs in Studio Series Overload*

Preorders are great for people who don't have time to hunt. Whether that means driving around to store after store or sitting around online.

Knowing you've got yours and it will come, especially with Pulse's reliability thus far. Is a Godsend.

If I happen to find it sooner, great. But I'm not going out of my way.

 

Remember when people were thinking these were too many HasLab's at once?



Maybe they'll still fail, but I've been amused watching this *exact same cycle* within the fan communities each time a new one is announced.
