I’m hoping for Nightbird. She’s perfect for this line, or RED.

 

Did anyone order Wave 1 from EE on Black Friday?

Two weeks on now and no movement for me.

 

My Banzaitron came in last night

 

I think they seriously need to fix that seeker head portrait to keep doing repaints. And include an extra head for the existing Starscreams.

The Reaction figure headsculpt is fine. The chin is insane on Ultimates Starscream.

 

Same. I had another order from 12/05 of TMNT Ultimates ship.

I'm hearing a lot of people say their Black Friday/Cyber-Monday orders haven't shipped but later orders have. My guess is those overloaded them and are in their own queue. As long as they actually ship and their inventory system actually works, I can wait for those. I got wave 1 for around $16.50 a piece with the influencer coupon on in-stock items.

 

It really is terrible

 

Thanks! I did use the chat feature on their site and got that response, pretty much.

'Hadn't shipped but will be there by Christmas'

Fair enough. Like you said, as long as the stock is confirmed, I'm good.

 

Totally agree, I just don't understand why they thought the non toy head was ok, its ruins an otherwise great figure.

 

The frowning head is better.

But, for me, all would be forgiven if Skywarp or Thundercracker had a fixed head and an extra replacement head for Starscream.

I'm going to feel less charitable if I have to buy a Coronation Starscream for a better face.

 

Actually, if they reveal a better Coronation Starscream and all his extras are removable, I'll probably cancel my preorder for regular Starscream.

Surely they wouldn't do that though. It'd be insane to reveal an upgraded version of a figure that still hasn't shipped when anybody who preordered with a retailer could still cancel!

Particularly when the Starscream in wave 4 hasn't started tooling yet and could still be fixed.

 

Same here. I contacted them via chat on Dec. 6 and, like others, was told:

I do have a "label created/delivery date pending" status on FedEx.com that was generated on the 6th, but has had no movement since.

I got Optimus from that recent sale. I like him a lot, but if I paid full price I would probably be a little disappointed if only for the fact this thing should probably have more articulation seeing as how it does not transform.

Looks great on a shelf....

 

Ironically, his corpse is retooled to have more articulation. (Slightly.)

 

Ooh, that’s a good one. I’d buy her, Autobot X, any of the Actionmasters they haven’t made, maybe Stranglehold’s Pretender shell...

 

Anyone have any movement on their orders? I'm still holding at "label created"...

Wave 5:

Transformers ULTIMATES! Wave 5 - Set of 2

 

I did not expect the Megatron!

 

Also an update from Super7 on release dates:

• Transformers Wave 2 (Grimlock in Dino Mode, Tracks, Megatron, Bludgeon) - In production at the factory. Due to exit factory mid January and ship to customers starting late February.
• Transformers Wave 3 (Alligaticon, Megatron G2, Tarn, Wreck-Gar) - Approved 3D outputs from the factory. In tooling at the factory. Expected to exit factory in June.
• Transformers Wave 4 (Starscream, Dead Optimus Prime, Soundwave) - In tooling at the factory. Expected to exit factory in June.

 

Definitely getting use out of the molds, especially Starscream. But not as any of the other Seekers.

 

These are cool enough, but disappointing to see an even smaller wave and no signs of more obscure characters. I guess we are the vocal minority and what actually sells is more Starscreams (perhaps only to retailers).
