Mid September / Early October 2020. But given how screwed up shipping these days?

 

Soundwave is up on HLJ! I just got my order in!!

 

I was asking if it's just a repaint like most from that Netflix line have been or not? There are so many releases of that character it's hard to keep track.

Also, anyone know the UPC/SKU for brickseek/popfindr?

 

And POd with Optimus Prime and V-Max.

 

Really hoping the hands and inner legs are molded blue plastic.

 

Retool/repaints

 

Any idea what HLJ's pricing costs are? I just looked into a pre-order, but couldn't get it to show me a shipping estimate. Thanks!

 

Looks like these are now also on TFSource, using the previous Hasbro promotional shots, with a release date of February 2021.

Added Soundwave to my stack, as I’ll probably never get it from Wal-Mart. Fingers crossed they remold this into Blaster at some point!

 

Shipping prices won't be in until they have the figure on hand. I know shipping to the US is still limited to the expensive options, but you can always add it to the Private Warehouse though.

 

My best guess is IF EMS is back up and running when it releases, $15-20 shipping. Others would probably run $20-25. SAL (IF it's running again) would probably be around $13-15. It all depends on how big the box is and how much the item weighs.

 

The Laserbeak Ravage heads are only remolded from the Siege figures, not from the Earth WFC Walmart version.  

Red eyes look good. Who's to say the retail American figure won't be the same though? Is there definition.

 

These are the same figures as the Netflix ones, why would ravage and laserbeak each get a 3rd head from Takara when they’re releasing identical products?

 

I know thats exactly what I said. Not in so many words after 'same figures as Netflix ver'*

The front page said NEW molds, not me.  

 

Ah

 

Did you see what I mean now? Staff does that all the time. But I don't mind I know they are running constant, so it's cool. Just wanted to point that out.

 

Yep, got your meaning now  

 

That Soundwave looks really good, he has the tape deck mode, the cassettes and hopefully the visor is red on the final release.

While I already own ER Prime, I'm getting the Netflix version too. The battlemasters make pretty cool energy weapons and it seems more of his parts are actually moulded in their appropriate colours rather than painted.

Does anyone know if Optimus' head is all moulded in blue plastic? Wasn't a fan of how half of leader Primes head was painted in metallic paint as the antenna on mine chipped.

 

Usually once they get the weight in of the item you'll get to know but safe bet is you get EMS. SAL is 6 feet under now.

That red visor of Sw is DA MAN! Agreed on that painting the head half of Op. Should have just painted it all blue metallic.

 

I'm really glad I skipped ER Optimus since this one looks better to me and this little pack in suckers always get me. **Looking at Netflix Megatron and retroactively regreting buying regular Vanilla Megs**. I don't love the ER Optimus Prime like its the second coming of Christ like most people, so I would have hated to be paying +$50 and then +$40 for 2 nearly identical figures. I have Deadtimus Prime so that one scratches my itch to experience the trailer. I'm also slightly interested in the SG Prime pack, but that's mostly for Ratchet.

(Still laughing at people swearing selling ER as a Voyager was impossible  . If Netflix Nemesis got Netflix OP's trailer, what mold is gonna get the SG they HAD to mold?  )

About Soundwave, I should have listened to my gut feeling and skipped the Siege version. I don't dislike him or anything, but I had a semi hard time tracking him and the Ravage/Laserbeak pack down, and this set looks better. Only silver lining is that I vastly preffer the "Cybertronian" head on Laserbeak over this new one.

 

For anyone interested in Earthrise Soundwave, AJ has the TT release up https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B08H99L...qid=1599699650&rnid=2321267051&s=toys&sr=1-10
