    I like what I see with the Refraktor 3_pack. I might have to skip the retail and go for this 3-pack (if I can get my hands on one first). It better be easy to get through Pulse.

    Hopefully, Soundblaster and Bluestreak will be easy to get from Wal-Mart online. From what I've seen, the site needs some heavy reworking.

    I have to agree. Looking at what TFWiki has listed, it feels like a third of this line is exclusives. I feel some of these should be made easier to obtain than having to shop at a dozen different sites.
    I'm not. I only planned on getting one; but with the way things are looking, I hope I can get the Refraktor 3-Pack.

    The Reflector set seems easily available online at multiple stores. I wouldn't worry.

    Was hoping reflector would be cheaper than 70 but oh well. Still got it on order. Extra parts, extra money I guess.

    I wish we could just get the extra attachments. I am not a fan of the new colors.

    Easy pass for me. I don't care for the toon colors or the extra camera bits because I don't display them in camera mode.

    I'm surprised BBTS has pre-orders up for Lancer before EE. Weren't they touting themselves as the first to offer her or did I hallucinate it?

    Pretty fucking pissed. But mostly at myself as I bought the retail version even knowing about the 3-pack rumors. I'm more annoyed that it was announced less than a week and a half after I decided to spring for the mass release versions. Like, fuck me. That's just rubbing it in.

    I think EE has stock at the convention and that's what they were touting

    You could return them, or sell them here (in TFW's BST section). There are a lot of want threads seeking Reflectors.

    There are a lot of fans releasing upgrade kits for several of the already available siege figures, so I am optimistic that a refraktor camera flash will be made for those who want to use one on the toon retail release.

    The toy deco Refraktor isn't coming out until October, which sucks for those of us who are impatient.

    I wonder if the camera mode would look a bit more cohesive if you swap the left and right thirds so that the one with black legs is on the opposite side of the black grip.

    Looking at the back of Soundblaster's box, he appears to be #63. Wish we had pictures of cartoon Optimus and Megatron's boxes. (They're probably #61-62, but I'm curious to know which is which.)

    Wait. There is a hotshoe (connector slot for a flash) molded into the center of the new viewfinder bit. But the actual flash pegs into the side of the camera. On the one hand, bravo for that subtle detail. On the other hand, thumbs down for real-world accuracy.

    We're getting 66 figures? That changes things a bit. Do you have a link for the numbers?

    There's a Google Docs spreadsheet with all known numbered Siege figures in my sig. There's a couple other people keeping track too, in some of these threads. Its getting hard to remember which thread has the whole list.

    No one so far has clarified the Omega issue, Amazon lists it as delayed til October but some other Etailers still say August so which is it? Anyone have the scoop?

    I like the the robot modes of Refractor.  But what the heck are their transformation modes. LOL
