    It's still early in November, plenty of time for him to be released.

    Though it'll probably be later on in the month since Thundertron and Magnus just came out.

    Usually it's about two weeks between an Asia release and a toy appearing at US online dealers?

    If we don't see it by the end of next week in Asia, i think it's been delayed.


    I'm a tiny bit worried that we haven't seen an Arms Micron listing for one, but i don't think BBTS would jump the gun before a solicitation, would they?

    I wouldn't think so, the minute they get the O-K to post a listing or pre-order its up

    My personal worry on this one is he'll hit "end of line syndrome" and not get released. Thankfully we at least got the Cyberverse one, I'm sure he'll make it to general retail eventually though - after all Prime is continuing with Beast Hunters so it's not like other lines where this has happened because the whole series has gone away.

    Me too. It happened with DOTM, but at least there were Takara versions.

    I've shrugged at a lot of Hasbro's decisions the last year or so, but if Voyager Skyquake got shit canned, it would annoy me quite a bit.

    Truth. I found Dreadwing at TRU, and now I want his twin to display with him.

    It would annoy me in more ways than one -- not only would I not be getting a Skyquake, but I'd have to scramble to find Ultra Magnus and Thundertron because I'm passing on them when I see them as I have the set of three on preorder at BBTS.

    The fact we haven't seen anything on this guy from Asia kind of worries me... I never really understood Hasbro putting out a revision case so close to the actual case, it seems most retailers will just order Wave 4 and skip the revision altogether. imo, the revision case should have been the Wave 4 case.

    I can't imagine a lot of retailers ordering a lot of Prime stuff once the holidays are over, as they want to burn through as much of their current stock as possible before Beast Hunters hits, so I don't know... really unsure Skyquake is going to make it. Hasbro has cancelled waves before, as seen with DOTM.

    I was one of the few who was disappointed that SkyQuake was swapped out last minute from wave 3 for Dreadwing and I thought I would never find him in store (which I finally did). I managed to get Magnus and Thundertron from HTS but I dont want to take a chance on Skyquake so I opted for the single pre-order from BBTS.

    I don't think Hasbro would cancel him outright since Prime is till going on. More likely, they could end up pushing him back and mixing him in with the Beast Hunter Voyager cases. But say they do end up canning him, hopefully Takara will release him.
