Wow I'm guessing Tformer sales are down here in the US because I figured we probably purchased more than Canada and Europe combined. They must be rolling in the dough. No hate on you guys it just seems like a bad strategy as our kids have a tendency to move on if it's not in their face.

 

You'll get yours, don't you worry! This is just a freak blip in the UK, something to do with Argos wanting stock early to support the new catalogue (Argos is one of the biggest toy retailers in the UK, so have considerable buying clout). The most any store got were three deluxes, most only had one. That's less than 2000 to go around the entire UK, so I highly doubt it would affect the US allocation.

 

Seems to look really good, I just wish we could have seen the transformation. I'm sort of a nut when it comes to a figure's transformation. LOL

 

Want

 

This is the only main line figure I'm actually looking forward to a lot.

 

Soundwave looks good, but I think I'll wait to decide if I want him until I see him in person.

 

The only downside is that he lacks a bit of leg movement, but my god he's screen accurate to a fucking tee. WANT WANT WANT.

And yet they still can't get bumblebee right in both goes at him. XD

 

This figure is awesome! Bought on sight!

 

hm.. i love how out of the whole world.. a little shop called argos in england is the first punch to get these toys... apparently america isnt a big market! >=(

BUT

thanks for the review!

 

Melodramatic much? Come March, us Americans will be up to our eyeballs in TFPrime toys. I'm personally taking this time to let my wallet divert its attention to other things aside from (albeit highly desirable) children's toys. XD

 

I can't wait for this.

 

Hasbro, I have only one thing to say:

 

Any doubt I was having about this line seems to be quickly dwindling.
I was on the fence with this figure, but seeing someone fiddle with it in hand has really won me over. This looks like a very cool figure.

The FE Deluxe is actually fairly accurate. At least as accurate as you could realistically get on a physical toy.
Not sure why they changed it for the mainline mold, as the engineering doesn't seem quite as nice. But after seeing how small the second Cliffjumper is, I wonder if that factors into it at all?

 

On behalf of Britain, I'd like to say our hearts bleed for you, but instead I'll say...

Nelson - ha ha! - YouTube

 

Yeah, if you're cursing Britain then you've basically been under a rock for the last fifteen years or so: turnabout's fair play and all that. Plus unlike Reveal the Shield these toys will actually hit normal retail chains in reasonable amounts!

I will say though, perhaps we could set up an exchange program for the more impatient. Why, my local Stop & Shop supermarket has the latest Generations wave as I speak. Don't know if we could help you with the First Edition figures though, we've only got the first Deluxe Wave, and that dried up pretty quick.

 

Maybe there's something wrong with my eyesight. But is that soundwave the wrong colour scheme? Or is he a varient of some kind?

 

so what i want to know is when are we gonna get a videoon that wheeljack in the background?

 

Looks like he'll be a great figure. Though I'll wait to see if Toy Fair reveals a Voyager version of him before deciding on whether or not I'll get the Deluxe.

Also, where is all this "revealer" BS coming from?

 

HAHA. I'm not complaining I've just seen their stocks take a dive and they just seem to have some wacky distrubtution tactics. Hell It's good to know the rest of the world is actually getting them without having to wait 6 months.

 

I still have yet to see anything herein regards to TF rime.

sigh.
