That Scorn does look nice, though I'm not sure I'm awfully fond of how the legs seem to work...

[Kyleor]

Normally I really don't like the one step/three step super simplified ones, but Dragonstorm has a pretty awesome looking alt mode. Fingers crossed for a good larger/more complex version.

[Hydrargyrus]

Okay, should I hunt down an old deluxe Scorn or get the new one?
I've got the SDCC set (along with Sludge) and their colorful counterparts (sans-Grimlock).

[Kyleor]

I picked up a couple of Tiny Turbo Changers at my local Target today. I got Grimlock and Hound. I have to admit, they're surprisingly fun!

On a side note (and please let me know if there's a separate thread for this), but has anyone ever had an issue of random strangers on the street judging you for buying TFs? I'm asking because of something that happened today. Again, please let me know if there's a separate thread for talking about this kind of stuff.

People are going to try to judge you no matter what, even if you do 'adult' things. I change my own oil & do other work on my own car and I've had people try to judge me for doing things the way that works for me and gets the job done, or for not paying someone else to do it.
Do what makes you happy/fulfilled (as long as it's legal) and if anyone tries to interfere tell them to go eef themselves.

get the new one, its a better scale with what he was in the film and it will cost the same or less than getting the deluxe (Scorn is the only dinobot from AOE to seriously go up in value): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Transformers-Mo ... SwAANY75od

Found an interesting quote online regarding this toyline (its an isolated store incident):

I walled into walmart and EVERY SINGLE TAG had a sticker on it that said *SOLD OUT* I asked Walmart's new Toy Manager, "What happened?" & supposedly they can't order any more Transformers sans Rescue Bots, because Hasbro needs to make more or open orders back up. Then she continued to say Walmart was telling her that Transformers 5 is the best selling toy in the figure isles in 10 years. With movie 1 being thr last one to best it, funny enough.

anyways this doesn't mean there are no toys in America left just thar ar least OUR Walmart can't order any Titans Return, One steps and certainly no movie toys at all! First time I ever seen that IML (tags having sold out stamped on them)

[Sabrblade]

Whereas at my Walmart, everything from Titans Return Waves 1-2 to RID Combiner Force to The Last Knight is just shelfwarming.

When I started toy collecting 10 years ago, I was pretty embarrassed when I bought the toys. Now I'm 40 and I just don't give a single fok. No matter if I carry robots OR dolls.

I don't get it so much in actual toy shops for some reason but at car boot sales I do. Cos some of the parents act like I'm trying to grab all the cool cheap TFs for myself. One started talking to me friendly at one point and then looked at the figure I had in hand and said "oh, are you buying that for your child?" and i replied "my inner child, yes" and she got a bit snarky.

That's more classy than shouting "NO! MINE!"

[Kurona]

I just get nervous and say "oh, it's, uh, for my nephew". I'm weak

[Sigma Magnus]

I was in Walmart this one time...I was rearranging the TF section (I was bored and it was messed up), and this lady walks up and watches me for a bit. Then she actually starts asking me what are the best TFs for her kids, and I gave suggestions based on their ages and stuff.
I guess it was a bit more acceptable since I'm only seventeen? Either way, it was kinda fun.

[Carnivius_Prime]

When are voyager Megatron and Hound expected to hit stores? I neeeeed...

Yeah, those two are the ones I REALLY want.
Voyager Scorn would be nice, but having the deluxe is making me way less exited for the voyager.

[Rodimus Prime]

We haven't gotten a leader class Megatron since RoTF. Hopefully we get one this time. (Unless it was announced and I missed it.)

[-Kanrabat-]

Oh yes, the IS a leader Megs. But general consensus say that the voyager will be the better toy.

yes, there is one.

you probably missed it, but not anymore now.

Is it? I thought they were both looking pretty awesome and I just picking Voyager due to cost and size.

Fellow Seibertronian ScottyP has been updating the sightings database, as he does, and came across some intriguing listings on Amazon.com for the deluxe class Premier Edition Transformers: The Last Knight wave, including Slug (in a new deco from Age of Extinction), but also Drift, Sqweeks, Steelbane and Slash (note: through a third party but seemingly reputable seller).





Also listed, this time directly via Amazon and Amazon Prime eligible, is the Turbo Changer Knight Armor Megatron, for those of you into the simpler line of toys from the upcoming movie.

And it's already listed on Amazon (but for some reason it's not letting me post a screen shot).

Browsing Amazon since I got a 30 day free trial of Amazon Prime (for the 3rd time?) and saw this listing for Leader Class Megatron so thought I'd post it here for other UK TF TLK collector's to have a look. Figure's not out yet but the price here is £45.56 which is about £20 lower than RRP. Optimus also available at same price.

Can you order it now at this price and they will fullfill the order when it comes out?

If so, that would be news for the front page!

I really don't know. Never pre-ordered anything on Amazon before. I would assume that the listed amount is all you pay. All I can tell is what it says on the listing:
"Price: £45.56 Delivery at no extra cost for Prime members once available
Temporarily out of stock.
Order now and we'll deliver when available. We'll e-mail you with an estimated delivery date as soon as we have more information. Your account will only be charged when we dispatch the item. "

Has anyone else ordered an item on Amazon this way before and can help with clarification?



Other sites I've pre-ordered stuff it's worked at you paying that price you pre-ordered even if the item's price had actually been raised between that time and the time of dispatch. Or if the price has dropped since then you get it at the new cheaper price. If this Amazon listing works the same way then yes it's a nice chunk off that silly new Leader pricepoint.

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Carnivius_Prime, we know that Amazon UK has preorders up for both Leader Optimus Prime and Megatron from Transformers: The Last Knight. These are shipped and sold by Amazon. The great news here is the price. They are £45.56, which is about £20 lower than RRP.

Here is the info they give:

"Price: £45.56 Delivery at no extra cost for Prime members once available
Temporarily out of stock.
Order now and we'll deliver when available. We'll e-mail you with an estimated delivery date as soon as we have more information. Your account will only be charged when we dispatch the item. "

You can preorder them at the following links:

Megatron

With wave 2 already hitting shelves in some places already, any ideas when we'll be seeing wave 3? I need that deluxe Bumblebee in my life!

Is it weird we still haven't seen all that many actual photos of it?
