luke314pi Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Transformers Series 3 has arrived in the Diamond warehouse - I believe we will be receiving them on the 9th, but I don't have confirmation of that yet. I am pretty pumped for this set - the 3 new characters were all on my want list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NerdyTrev Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Zach, what's the skinny on series 4? Any solicitation news? I'm really looking forward to that Ultra Magnus and Hot Rod! Also, throwing out hopes that series 5 includes Cyclonus and Scourge to fill out Galvatron's ranks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Waiting to hear when it will be offered. Sorry I have no news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cylonchaney Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Zach, Please take note of the third place entry in Luke's recent custom contest. I currently own 0 Vinimates but would definitely buy that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 (edited) I saw it! Very cool, not sure what our license allows. If the Power Rangers vinis had done better, not to mention the TF Minimates, I'd say it's a no-brainer.

THE_CRIPPLER Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 So are you saying the TF minimates aren't doing well Zach?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimateship Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 i'll say one thing a few places in aus that stocked the first series of these reckon they won't be getting any further, future sets in, on a brighter note though, most all have plans to get the Joes as they come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Main series TF's not doing great, but I think the VHS set did well. Maybe there's some opportunities there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disheartening news, but thank you for the update. I'm hopeful that if series 4 goes well we can get some more additions to the movie cast (Kup, Wreck-Gar, Springer, the aforementioned Galvatron cronies). Good to know about the VHS set! I could see a sister series with recolored variants of Jazz, Grimlock, Shockwave, and Soundwave in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep giving us new characters for as long as the line stays afloat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyTrev Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Then maybe just package everything to look like a VHS tape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nandoninny Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 i think the vhs packaging does wonders. but as for the line not doing well i hope i did my part since i bought: 1 series 1 3 series 2 1 series 3 2 of the vhs (mainly b/c of the packaging) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Thank you Nando! Yeah, I would vote against a recolor set, unless it was all Seeker jets. I meant maybe we make Series 4 a VHS set. Just an idea, but I've pitched it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nandoninny Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 yeah, my vote would be to finish the seekers (after we get the series 4 shown at sdcc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Could it be the reason the vhs pack sold better is they are cartoon colors instead of metallic? I don’t know about how others feel but I prefer the cartoon colors over the the metallic. The colors are vibrant and they look more how I remember the characters. Also turning transformers into minimates is a tough task. It really reduces the articulation and some don’t translate to minimates well.

Strider Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I am with you on preferring the cartoon colors. I also love the VHS packaging. I actually bought two of the VHS and one of each of the others because of the packaging. Hopefully the line picks up enough steam to at least finish the seekers and the main movie cast. Any word on the Joe line? Out of all the minimate lines that one has taken over as my favorite. I hope we get at least a few years out of it.

BCDX97 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I got Series 1, 2, and 3 for Xmas. They are pretty great. I don't know if I want the SDCC set because it's not that different, but the packing is quite cool. While GI Joe is my favorite 80s cartoon, I haven't picked up Series 1 yet because half of them are recolors of Mates I have for $40. But the Transformers get my full seal of approval!
