I won't be surprised to see Rumble & Ratbat get another go in Earthrise. Phil is monitoring the Amazon situation on the Siege versions for the chums www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZH7YGXZ |

Good point - I still need to get a Rumble and Ratbat. I just don't want the others in their wave is the problem... Who else is released with them? |

Hmm... I am after those. Is there a link to both sets together? We could split on delivery Llama?

Why is he called Frenzy there, and not Rumble?!
I got that double set in the last week's of 2019. Sure he was called Rumble. Thrown the packaging away now. The Battle Patrol were snaffled by the youngest.

It is Rumble.
It's either a mistake, taking the p!$$ or they're a fervent believer in RIBFIR. Which is wrong.

I think for the sake of completion I'd rather have seen Buzzsaw instead of Wingthing, but obviously the double use of the two moulds is going to push the price up enough to cover the cost of the new heads on the Powermasters.
Nice set. The sense of filling out the corners to complete other figures is welcome.

Oh yes. Shockprowl must buy this set to get the one of the four figures he actually wants.
Heh heh heh.

I love that set, it's a really cute idea. In fact probably the only exciting thing that came from two hours of watching that live feed. I must have it as recompense for my self-inflicted suffering...

The tape set is a must though it reminds me that I missed out on Soundblaster. The narrow window to get some TF toys these days does aggravate me. We don't all have bottomless budgets.

IIRC Soundblaster was the 35th toy that InDemand didn't get. So no UK outlet for it existed and it did go quick at Robotkingdom
Not seen a UK tape order yet so flung in a security order at BBTS. I will monitor
I'm fortunate that I have got what I've been after but narrow windows and non UK availability frustrate me

It seemed like any of those that made it to a UK supplier were gone almost instantly. And these couldn't have been split into two sets? I have to buy all four just to get more tapes for Soundwave so I may as well spend the £50 on another Voyager to get best use of them? And don't get me started on the hilariously priced Seacons. Hasbro, man. It's like they got used to Movie toy boom-time money and are now desperate to maintain it no matter the cost (to us). |

I know two walmarts that are generally outside of my normal routes that got the 35ths. The only two in my area that did.
I need to head out to the DMV, which is near one of them. So I can pop over if anyone wants and see if they still have Soundblaster? (I assume any interest in bluestreak was squashed by the new ER datsun mold, but i can look for/snag all four)

I saw a couple the last time, but that was two weeks ago.
Need to go to the DMV soon, so will try to head out tuesday or wednesday.

I'm in only my fourth year as a 'serious' collector but this last year has really been difficult in terms of sourcing the toys I want, and the effort - and mounting cost - is putting me off continuing. I count myself very lucky I was able to get a Siege Skywarp, for instance, but those Micromaster repaints still elude me, among others. Last year was VERY different to the last decade or so here, with the major specialists sourcing from the UK rather than Hong Kong. Even there certain items have been harder to find than usual, notably Ratchet, the Micromasters and Jet 3 pack. This Spy set being Selects worries me too. It seemed like any of those that made it to a UK supplier were gone almost instantly. And these couldn't have been split into two sets? I have to buy all four just to get more tapes for Soundwave so I may as well spend the £50 on another Voyager to get best use of them? MOST of the Select sets have had reasonable online availability The problem with the tape set is it's trying to do two things: Doubledealer's Powermasters and Frenzy plus another tape, which there is possibly not a huge crossover for..... And with Doubledealer not out the demand for his tapes isn't there. And don't get me started on the hilariously priced Seacons. The Seacons are Takara, not Hasbro, and are priced accordingly, Japanese toys being more expensive. My feeling - not having bought many Japanese toys in the last few years thanks to brand unification - is that these are around the right price for a Japanese toy of it's class and any difference is more than made up for by the work done and extra kit in the package. Hasbro, man. It's like they got used to Movie toy boom-time money and are now desperate to maintain it no matter the cost (to us). |

They're not in the UK but I've seen preorders at BBTS and Robotkingdom.
