The price totally makes sense though. 99 USD, and I just bought G2 Supes for 150 of my poor Canadian dollars. Its odd though that a standard set (not niche like a G2 repaint) is being sold in a set while everything from Hasbro has been sold separately so far.

Ok. And no, Hasbro has 4 waves a year, which go by season. The time they give you is the time you can see them in stores across the states. TR is said to be sure to be found by fall (it is the equivalent to the Defensor wave) which means you can expect them to be shipped from online retailers in the summer, so the first half of the year is the last 2 waves of combiner wars. It all fits together, as it did last year.

It is odd, I give you that. I have a few hypotheses as to why they did it this way:
1. Since it's all redecos again aside from Scattershot, (like the G2 ones), they probably thought kids and parents wouldnt see them as anything new and it would be best sold as a release more targetted for fans.
2. Along the lines of the first point, they wanted to get on with new toys for the mass audience to keep the shelves fresh and have a clean cut in the year. Half the year CW, the other half TR and then all of next year TR.
Which makes me think that, like G2, this will mainly be redecos. I dont know if that means it will have that deluxe groove mold or not (it would be crazy if it didnt but then again, why wouldnt that be released individually at retail). Obviously, it works for G2 decos, but not for Computron.Scattershot had the most new molding so he had a retail release.

I bought Rook and Streetwise on Amazon in May, picked up Blades and Streetwise at a Walmart in June, and got Hot Spot (on Amazon) and Groove (at Kmart) in July, so I don't buy the fall bit. One would think that honor goes to Optimus Maximus, who started popping up in retail in October or November. And even if TR is wave 3, then would that mean there would be another TR wave in 2016?

Yes. Pretty much you can read it as you want but we are saying the same thing. you get 4 waves a year and thats a constant. You can count superion as being end 2014 or early 2015 and either Bruticus as last wave 2015 or the first wave of 2016. Hasbro said it was wave one 2016 and yet you got it in stores earlier. this year will also have 4 waves. Hasbro says 2 CW and 2 TR. If you count Brutius as 2015 and not 2016 (which Hasbro doesnt) then their first wave 2017 for TR will probably count as your 4th wave of 2016.
Fall just means it is their 3rd scheduled wave of 2016 but it can happen way earlier as Defensor is proof. But that means you would get an early 3rd TR wave as opposed to another CW wave after Skylynx.
