Oh cool, Beachcomber is coming earlier than I anticipated! I'm in for him, and Detritus & Bludgeon in wave 4.

Thanks again @Jtprime17 , you help make budgeting very simple!

Now I just need to have an idea on exclusives for the year, and I'm set!

 

Having to wait til wave 4 for Bludgeon. Pain.

 

I am hopeful Shadowstriker is the Cyberverse one. I mean what other one was ever a significant character? And she never got a good toy in that line.

 

Well imma go broke by years end.

Wave 3 will be a cheap wave for me but wave 4 will cripple me hahaha.

No shout on the commander and Titan releases then.

 

Could someone clarify what PR stands for? I\'m guessing that means re-release of some sort?

 

 

Is it truly wave 4? Or just wave 1 of legacy part3?

 

Package Refresh. Basicly rerelease in new box.

 

2023 will be a quiet year for me compared to WFC and Legacy. Lots of cool characters and figures, but not that much for what I’m looking to complete my personal collection.

Wave 2 : Shrapnel and core Thundercracker
Wave 3 : Beachcomber
Wave 4 : Bombshell and Bludgeon
SS wave 3 core Ironhide and Brawn
SS wave 4 Frenzy, Ratchet and Snarl !

Haven’t decided yet if I’m picking the core Dinobots. Let’s see what’s up with the exclusives, capsule lines and what ever happened to the Select line ? I’ll pick à repainted Euro G1 Skyquake in a heartbeat

 

Glad you've made TFW your outlet to be a jerk.

Glad you took the few seconds to help instead of being a jerk  
Thanks!

 

Nice reveals. Not seeing too much I'm 100% buying since I am only focusing on g1 and non movie beast wars. Definitely Armada Megatron too.

Edit: I see 13 I'm definitely buying.

 

Is Skar suppose to be part of Volcanicus?

 

Sounds like an inexpensive year. Haven't had that in a while. I think last time was when hftd was out or around that time.

 

I wish they would just give us ss86 snarl and swoop both already and be done with them. This is getting too drawn out. Just finish them.

 

Classes are no longer about size though. We have had plenty of Deluxe figures taller than Voyagers. If the transformation is simple enough (and it should be since it has to do that partsforming gimmick) then it could end up being a tall Deluxe.

We also Hasbro doesn’t follow scale exactly. It is more of a sliding scale, other wise characters such as TM2 Megs would be almost twice as tall as they are.

 

Possible 12 purchases then for the second part of this year. 

A little lighter than last year hurray. Except there will probably be some store exclusives that trip everything up. 

 

Since Snarl is wave 4, let’s just hope Swoop is early 2024, wave 1, so the gap is not too big between them. The gap between Sludge (mid-summer 2022) and Snarl (fall 2023) is pretty long.

 

Leaked image of Junkion Axelgrease (possible Lockdown pretool)?

Spoiler

 

Yes he's our new Dinobot. Named after an IDW original Dinobot. Should be an Ankylosaur that's an arm for Volcanicus since that's the Dinoking arrangement.

 

Metalhawk & Twincast have kinda proven the release dates are meaningless.

These new listings could be out anytime between 2024 and yesterday.

 

So...
Core:
Skar

Deluxe:
Beachcomber Maybe
Shadowstriker Maybe
Strongarm
Bombshell
Detritus
Bludgeon

Leader:
Prime Dreadwing

Light year.
