    Added to my cart and placed it on my Loot Pile. Let's see what happens. Can always cancel later, if needed.

    The issue IIRC when they did that last time was that they created pages for things that hadn't been officially announced, than they basically deleted the page because they were taking pre-orders for something that didn't actually exist yet, so pre-orders got canceled, than when they "officially" existed some people missed out at first on snagging a pre-order because their original one got canceled and they missed the boat to pre-order it for real. Twincast is obviously an easy repaint of the Blaster mold and Metalhawk has been rumored/leaked on listings for awhile, followed by there being a live stream next week, so yes, these figures probably will exist, but not a good business practice after the debacle last time.

    Ahh, thank you for that info, I seriously didn't know it. Will keep track of the order, just in case.

    It was the wave that had Shadow Panther and Pipes from Kingdom, I wanna say Waspinator was part of that wave too, but I could be wrong? But people figured out it wasn't accurate because people that worked in diff retail stores that knew what figures were in what cases based on the store computer said they couldn't had been accurate.
    Some people reported a week or so ago about getting emails that he should be in "soon", I wasn't one of them though. But he was spotted in retail so it should be any day I'd think now.

    I expected the dates to change. Considering Wave 1 is slowly come out and hasn’t actually released yet it’ll be a while before Wave 2 releases.

    Excited for Twincast, just needed him, Sureshot, Raiden, & the Throttlebots(minus Goldbug) to complete 1987.

    That didn't happen at all to my memory. They were listed, and Hasbro never properly announced them, they just started silently going up on other sites. It took awhile but BBTS eventually added pictures to the listings.

    I put in PO's for them the day they went up, and those PO's eventually came in. I never once saw a single person mention their order being cancelled at the time. At least to my recollection.

    Edit to add: the direct link to the pages may have been hidden for a brief bit now that I think about it, but the pages were never actually taken down, and could still be accessed from the orders page.

    BBTS getting the early bird drop on new stuff. I’d love to see this be true.

    I've been 100% positive that's what was going to be revealed on the next live stream. I'm just not sure that I buy that these figures will actually be arriving next month already. :lol

    Twincast and Metalhawk are a maybe since we know those two are in the US now. But could be March tbh.

    When I used to work as a logistics manager for Target it would sometimes take up to three or so months before something actually got to retail from its time arriving in port. I guess it's possible for them to show up next month, but I'm not personally going to hold my breath on it.

    Oh yeah I’m not holding my breath on the February date but I doubt they’d go up if it’s this early. Excited to see official look at Prowl as well as Grimlock (mainly to see how good a Goryu we’ll get lol).
