They're both presently on my desk. LAHire is with my mpms (even though he is on the big side) and TFEVO is with my HA and OSKO figures. When MPM Jazz shows up it'll be interesting to see if both groups continue to get desk space. HA Jazz continues to be one of my most favorite TF's ever, so until such time as he gets bumped, that scale will continue to be important. We'll have to see if MPM Jazz weakens HA Jazz's standing at all or if he continues to be the one.

I was hoping LA Hire and MPM Jazz would both be good enough to let me remove one size class of figures from display and free up some space.

But it's hard to argue with this shelf.

I think I will ultimately do a Blue Circus Bumblebee to match my mpm one. Which pairing do you guys prefer? (as I said MPM Jazz will have a lot to say on the subject)

 

And this is why I didn't order from over seas. Need to start watching ebay and Wal-mart!

Thanks for the pictures!!!

 

So an unconfirmed Update

There's an as of yet unknown Deluxe Class Decepticon coming with the other 3 we got a store for.

Voyager Class

48 - Unknown Voyager
49 - Mixmaster

Leader class

50 - ? / or / Scavenger
51 - ? / or / Scavenger

Deluxe Class ( leaving these blank because without some clue as to the id its hard to say which goes where )

52 - ?
53 - ?
54 - ?
55 - ?

Any I'm hesitant to believe this one as it comes from a long dead source that a friend once had and with no way to check if this is even the same guy its better to have a fair amount of doubt

I personally have my reservations about this since it does not come from my usual source or from my usual Channel's.

 

Well with Dropkick being 47, and we know that the next wave will be

• SS-50 New Bumblebee (deluxe)
  
• SS-51 Arcee, Chromia, and Elita-1, (deluxe)
  
• SS-52 Soundwave with Laserbeak, (deluxe)
  
• SS-53 Mixmaster, (voyager)
  
• that leaves 2 openings in your list we will see what happens there.
  
  I would love another deluxe (Dino) and as leaders we could have that big constructicon and maybe Sentinel.

 

2 things

Hightower is 47

And While thats probably how the line up goes the flipped the order since wave 6 Voyagers and leader Class come before deluxe class.

Meaning 48 - 51 are larger in scale

 

If I had to guess, maybe the other Wave 8 Voyager is Scrapper? The little instruction pamphlet lists him, Scavenger, and Mixmaster as "Early 2020". Overload being the last to be released, during "Mid 2020."

For another Decepticon deluxe.....Jet Shatter, maybe?
I think Hatchet would be the most exciting.

 

Jup, sorry about number inaccuracies,
I simply copied this from the news paige but they have it 40 and up..
witch felt like they made a mistake cause we are already at 40+ so I assumed they meant 50

All I really care about are the figures anyways

 

Nice haul! Which one is your favorite of the three so far? I'm hoping this wave comes out soon near my area...

Ok I'll give you guys that. I somehow successfully blocked "crankcase" from my memory, so good job guys for reminding me of him  .

Still though, I'd like to think that wave 5 was an overall solid wave. Same could be said for wave 1. I'm not discounting wave 7, but if I had to rank the waves, it probably wouldn't come out on first for me personally.

 

Takara has a different numbering system for Studio Series due to them not having exclusives like Thundercracker and Drift. That's why the numbers are different on this list.

 

I still think scrapper will release with mixmaster since in the instructions they both say early 2020

 

They look really good! Do any of them have QC issues like loose/tight joints?

Haha, yeah! I liked wave 5 a lot. Sideswipe and Jetfire are fantastic and are quite impressive. SS32 is a nice improvement to SS05 and Barricade is a fun little guy. Bonecrusher is quite good and DOTM Megatron doesn't seem to be bad. DOTM Crankcase is probably one of the worst things to come out of this line though. Wave 7 looks to be one of the best waves, but I can only judge once I get them in hand.

 

“We are Decepticon peace keepers patrolling the galaxy!”

 

I hate you for having him already!
(really don't hate you but I am jealous as F*#k! so please give us more pictures)

 

Haha I’m sorry! I’ve really noticed UK distribution for studio series figures has been pretty good with the most recent wave, however siege is really slow.

 

Do you have any comparisons with scout class figures or the VW Bumblebee?

 

I don’t have any scout figures but here he is with Jazz and VW Bumblebee

 

Jesus I want him so bad

 

Time to install a helipad on my roof.

I thought Long Haul and kSI Boss were a different wave? Anyway, it sure is one of the best waves ever! I can't believe we're already into the 40s with this line. It's been the awesomest thing ever!

WTF that's so random and awesome! You are one lucky person. I doubt I'll see them at retail until like October.

Yessir that's the Empire! And yeah sorry I got him first haha but it was so stupid because he went from JFK to Pennsylvania then to New Jersey then to NYC, THEN he was delivered to me! So annoying. I'm gonna try and transform him today. I've just been loving on the car mode so far. I love when they include features and things to do in vehicle modes! It makes it so much more fun than just having a car to look at or whatever. Even Challenger's opening doors (with no place for anything to sit in) were a fun addition that made for some cool pics!

This is very rare. Hasbro Pulse and amazon aren't "over seas" and they're much much more reliable than walmart. Plus half of the stuff on ebay comes from over seas too. I wish we still lived in the days of being able to find stuff reliably in stores...
