[youbastards]

Nerdzoic has a great price on the Series 2 and 3 boxsets: $14.99 each

They sold out of series 3 but still have 2 in stock. Also Amazon has some good prices for these too.

We got confirmation that the SDCC Transformers sets are arriving next Wednesday. Our shipment was allocated and we will receive 80% of what we ordered, so while we definitely have enough for all preorders, we only have 4 sets left. I was actually happy to see the allocation, because I think it means this set was a success, so hopefully that paves the way for future releases. Or else it just means that DST produced less of this set, but I try to stay positive. 😁

i bought 2 at sdcc and finally opened it last night -- it is a great set!!!  love having a second seeker but now i am just hoping we get the third one soon.  i wouldn't mind a whole repaint wave -- 3rd seeker, nightstick (jazz), twincast (blaster) ,and soundblaster (soundwave).

easy.

of course i wouldn't say no to new molds but just thinking of how to save money and get cool characters.

i bought the funko unicron.  debating if i should rip the head off and punch in the eyeballs to make it like the end of the movie

I was actually surprised that they didn’t do a redeco wave. Good on them!

*runs to Luke's Toy Store to make sure he preordered this set*

[NerdyTrev]

yay shot

 

I love this one. Definitely gonna need Skywarp and the rest of the '86 cast.

Please tell us this line isn't dead, Zach!

[Trekker 42]

I ordered mine with the Last Ronin set so I’ll have to wait for that one to get mine. But damn, I like what I see.

We recently started discussing Exclusive sets for 2024 conventions, and TF MM were on the list, especially based on how well they did at the show. So it may be July, but I think you'll see more.

This makes me very happy 😊

[nandoninny]

it'd be worth the wait!!

[Strider]

My set arrived from Luke. I love it although I am also reliving childhood trauma with the dead Optimus.

Dead Prime was a CHOICE. But he is a great repaint and the new chest piece is nice.

[Captain Paco]

I would love to see more sets of Transformer Minimates.

[NerdyTrev]

I'd like to see a few more of the main cast members of the '86 movie, as well as some classic G1 characters.

Movie set #2
Kup
Wreck-Gar
Cyclonus
Scourge

Classic G1 series #4
Ironhide
Wheeljack
Skywarp
Reflector

Something like that would reenergize the line, I'd hope. Maybe another set of flat-colored, cartoon re-dos would help too.

Oh! and a Unicron Vinimate!

More sets have been discussed! The SDCC set did well, so no re-energonization is needed, they may simply be tied to conventions (but still readily accessible). We'll see!

[ApexPredator]

Let’s go! More seekers would be good alongside the cartoon colors

[NerdyTrev]

Yipee!

This has definitely been my favorite of the new Hasbro lines, so I'm happy there is no "re-energonizing" needed!

[nandoninny]

so,

i'm always trying to think of cool repaints that could be done with these molds and i came across SHATTERED GLASS.

where the good guys are bad and vice versa.  hasbro seems to do it every couple of years.  i think the first time was for a transformers convention con exclusive a long time ago.

@DSTZach i know you said there's a con set already for sdcc (which better have the last damn seeker included) but for next con or just later on please consider this idea.

[DSTZach]

It's a cool idea! The SDCC set is pretty cool, it has three new characters in it, plus a cartoon colors repaint (it's based on an episode).

No Skywarp yet but I hold out hope.

Edited April 16, 2024 by DSTZach

[NerdyTrev]

So are they all flat colored figures? Or metallic?

[DSTZach]

Cartoon colors.

[nandoninny]

i love the hint game.

so 3 new characters but in flat animated style.........wow.  

and based on an episode.......

well, it could be anything really but i hope the repaint is soundwave!

[Trekker 42]

I really want one of these to be Jetfire/Skyfire. I feel like he’s one of the more memorable shot term characters on the show and therefore makes for a great episode based character. 

Fire in the Sky

Skyfire
Ironhide
Ratchet
Soundwave with tiny Ravage or Laserbeak accessory

Or. 
Or. 
It’s a Dinobot set. 
Grimlock
Slag
Sludge
Snarl
Tiny Swoop Accessory

If there is a redo of Grimlock in cartoon colors, may I request that he come packaged with a crown a la the Marvel comics.
