Blackjack & Hyperdrive were Siege MM w3. 4 per case with 2 repacks of each of the Battle and Race patrols. The case was skipped in the UK by Hasbro, not even the dealers got them. I did think Amazon had sold out so that is now your best bet.
(Siege MM w4 was Powertrain and Highjump)
Combiners: Only the Battle Squad - Direct-Hit & Powerpunch - has been issued so far, Siege MM w5 with Rumble and Ratbat, also not UK distributed A case from Robotkingdom or a pair, with the tapes are your best options at the moment. We believe an Earthrise reissue is coming.
Earthrise MM w1 were sold here. WFC-E3 Trip-Up & Autobot Daddy-O (Hot Rod Patrol) & WFC-E4 Bombshock & Decepticon Growl (Military Patrol) are currently available from Games & Cards. If you're getting Blackjack & Highjump from Amazon.com, they have these too for $10 each
Earthrise MM w2 is due soon: WFC-E15 Roller Force & Decepticon Ground Hog (Race Track Patrol) & WFC-E16 Fuzer & Autobot Blast Master (Astro Squad). Phil is monitoring for preorders.

I have the Rumble/Rarbat tapes. Ed gave them to me for Christmas, so I guess I know why now!
If I grabbed the two missing ones (hot rod and sports car) from amazon, would that combine the postage?
Having a battle squad shaped hole is going to hurt though.

Post by Philip Ayres on May 30, 2020 7:38:26 GMT
Postage for two won't be much more than one and coming from Amazon themselves any duty is paid up front.
Like I said there's evidence of a second go for the Battle Squad in Earthrise - Direct-Hit & Power Punch (Battle Squad): Hasbro product code # E9838, EAN # 5010993704408 vs Hasbro product code # E8531, UPC # 630509886456 for Siege - and no announced Earthrise w3 MM yet so I wouldn't be panicking.

Well it was last week. Now it comes in at £14 overall as the MM's have dropped in price. Bugger it.

And he’s the exclusive?

Post by Pinwig on May 31, 2020 8:18:03 GMT
That thread suggests that the lack of an assortment number in the URL means Bluestreak will be an exclusive. That and the fact his product number fits into the group with the Ironhide/Prowl and Alt Universe Prime toys. The July 24th embargo would have been SDCC weekend, which suggests Earthrise wave 4 would have been revealed there along with more exclusives. Which we could have guessed anyway. Maybe Bluestreak was going to be an SDCC toy.

Could be. We know we've got 8 Earthrise numbers between Waves 2 and 3 (26-33) for exclusives, but there's nothing stopping more going on the end like Siege did.

I bet one of the exclusives will be Ratchet. Again.

Even if it's a new mould and Ironhide is already a known exclusive? One of them would have to be retail.

Ratchet is much rumoured as a Select
|
|

Post by Pinwig on May 31, 2020 11:26:52 GMT
That's weird. That suggests they're repaints then? Select has only been repaints, or repaints with new heads so far. The most significant alteration is Zetar's hat isn't it? Or was Nightbird remoulded? It's only Takara that have been doing large scale remoulding.

Post by Philip Ayres on May 31, 2020 12:19:25 GMT
Tapes have a bit more remoulding to their chests too.
