Not available outside the US. You need a US friend to ship to.

Pretty ridiculous, does this mean the other 4 packs will be the same?

I mean, what the hell kind of business model is this? There’s going to be a whole series of figures that won’t be available to anyone outside of the US. How is that even something they’d plan as a strategy? Unless they really want to help those resellers get some good profits? It’s baffling.

Speculation:
· Micron- Microns are the Japanese name for Minicons. There are no recent minicons. So... Micromaster set
· Biosfera- Bio generally means biology. A fair amount of beasts coming up. BW set
· Dominus- Sounds dark. Guessing a decepticon big bad.
· Botropolis- City. So... Modulator set?

While it's not without historical merit, you gues may be jumping the gun a bit.
Especially on declaring things that haven't even been announced as being forever unavailable.

Micron Legend = Armada
Have they found a place for that Armada Prime they showed off?
Botropolis is where the Go-Bots live [the Playskool ones].

That's disappointing to say the least. I really thought we'd almost struggled to the finish line with all these exclusives, now five more sets to fret about.
When it says currently unavailable on Amazon.com is that because it's region locked to the US, or has it already sold out anyway?
Perhaps outside America it'll be an exclusive to someone else. We can but hope. Or wait a year for Takara to do it.

Not sold out for me, so must be region locked.

Woo. I didn't know Amazon could do that. I just thought it stopped you at the point of shipping. In the UK that listing just says 'currently unavailable'.

Which is nice of them. And also good business sense. But just in case I shall remain hopeful that we’re able to travel to Singapore for Christmas as we’d been planning before the world shut down...

So I've ordered from RK, and asked Toph if he can also order one, at worst I might have a spare or two to hook others up with.

I searched RK backwards last night before I went to sleep but couldn't find it. Searches for Paradron didn't work. Must have gone on overnight. Expensive, but reassuring. I'm sick of this now though, like everyone else. Four more of these packs! They better not be Amazon exclusives. |

Y’know what? Fuck it. I don’t want toys this bad. I’m done with the preorder bullcrap.

Look on the bright side. At least you're not a kid with pocket money trying to collect the Earthrise line 😂.

I'd get excited about that, if there was a hope in hell of ever being able to get the toys...

So, exclusive shenanigans aside, any opinions on Ratchet himself?
To me he looks a bit... muted.

Speculation: · Micron- Microns are the Japanese name for Minicons. There are no recent minicons. So... Micromaster set We've both commented on the Airwave/Hothouse Demolishor resemblance...... and you could get a half decent Armada Cyclonus from Spinister...... · Biosfera- Bio generally means biology. A fair amount of beasts coming up. BW set preferably not a third Cheetor. For a straight deluxe repaint of what we know Buzzsaw must be a favourite? · Dominus- Sounds dark. Guessing a decepticon big bad. No ideas · Botropolis- City. So... Modulator set? Or something mad like a Rescuebots homage? I wonder if this might, like Ratchet, end up being the home for a few more Earthmodes? Only yesterday I was reading that apparently a Sideswipe/Red Alert Earth Mode remould was planned ... www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/wfc-iii-kingdom-speculation-thread.1197003/page-64#post-18209626 |
