Hate to say it, but that's the best that we're gonna get with Dino/Mirage, for several reasons:
1) We already have a Cyberverse Mirage based on Legends Sideways
2) An all new Dino mold is out of the question, since he's not in the cast
3) And perhaps most importantly, Mattel has an exclusive license for making toys based on Ferraris, which Dino/Mirage is. So grab your torches and pitchforks, you know where to go.

I don't know where you guys are from but I'm from Louisiana, where this version and the HA figure never hit the stores

Hence it being a "second chance" since it missed out on its first chance.Database29 wrote:RhA wrote:I like that Soundwave. Kinda cool he gets a second chance in the stores.

He got released before in non-U.S. countries. Japan and East Asia, at least, did see DOTM Soundwave and Wheeljack in their stores.Database29 wrote:Hence, how in the world can you have a 2nd chance, when you never got the 1st chance? He's not getting a 2nd chance in stores, because he never got a 1st chance in stores. I'm sorry maybe it's me....
So this toy is the second release of the mold.

He got chances of being released in stores, and only once or twice did it come true. Here's the list, with the ones in italics canceled:
1a) Deluxe Soundwave (US release)
1b) DD-13 Soundwave (TakaraTomy)
2) Deluxe Soundwave (Hasbro Asia release)
3) Movie Trilogy Soundwave
4) AD17 Darkside Soundwave

Plus, the "second chance" that RhA was referring to was for that toy, not for those who want that toy. The toy is the one being given the second chance at being released since it missed out on its first chance release in the "Movie Trilogy Series".
Us fans are being given a fourth chance at this mold since the first chance never came to the U.S., the second chance was Japanese-only, and the third chance got canceled altogether.

I am just getting tired of paying twice and 3 times the value of the toy from online retailers.the mark ups are outrageous!I could be happy that it's being released, but I'm not because I think it's wrong. If you are not going to send it here, at least sell it online for the price it would be here. I would not mind paying the shipping
This is only in your dream.
Why? There's many points.
1) There's not as much copies of it made as if it were for a North American release.
2) The USA is the place were Transformers sell the cheapest for some unexplained reason. Everywere else in the world, the normal price is from a few dollars more, to double or triple the price it would sell in the USA.
3) For brand new items that just came out, the competition between online retailers is pretty fierce. So, the average price for a item that just came out is as low as it can be, despite the fact that it's so high compared to the common TrU toy of your region.
4) Having to pay for shipping and imort taxes suck for sure. Unfortunately, delivery companies dont work for free and your government want it's cut as well. It suck, but it's how life goes.
There you go. Just a reality check for toys that are not meant or will never be meant for a local release.
The only time you would heva a right to complain is if a toy have been released widely in half your country, but the other half suffured piss-poor distribution and/or is not released in your specific region just because of some stoopid local laws.

i hate it when they tease us with a cool character and dont make a toy for it but then go ahead and make toys out other characters that are less than impressive say for instance, jolt.. barely any screen time and he gets a toy( don't get me wrong the jolt toys aren't bad), Dino had more screen time and said some words and looked cool doing it

Best example:
Skids and Mudflap get brand new deluxe molds for DotM even though they never appeared in the movie.
Why?
It seem it's because it the opposite of that Dino fiasco. They weere under contract to make more toys out of the Brother's licenced vehicles. So...
Ah, the wonders and mysteries of business.

but dino? can someone explain to me why (seemingly collectively) the whole fandom love this character? honestly im not picking a fight. i have no point of reference. all i see is the toy... looks alright besides those tiny feet...
Posted by Diem on May 20th, 2014 @ 9:38pm CDT
AD28 will be Snarl, AD29 is Clubber (or possibly Crabber, the name can be translated multiple ways) and, as a possible spoiler AD30 is Drift Helicopter
As usual these preorder names are subject to change and photos are not yet available. The figures are scheduled to be released in Japan through August and September

They were too in the movie:-Kanrabat- wrote:Best example:

Why?
This is the only shot of them that was left in the movie, as they were supposed to be in the film originally, but had all of their scenes cut out. They were supposed to die by Sentinel Prime's hand shortly after he killed Ironhide and wrecked the N.E.S.T. base.
They were taken out due to the overwhelmingly negative reaction they received in ROTF. Since Bay promised DOTM would have "no stupid humor" (a promise he obviously didn't keep thanks to one Jerry Wang), the twins got axed from the film's final cut, with all traces of their presence--save for that one shot of them driving up in the background--eradicated.

There was another one last year i believe. someone did a name dump of every figure, no indication of size.
Probably was using a throwaway account as an anonymous tip off

But why no Deluxe Ratchet in his first-two-movies deco? Would've thought that'd be obvious! XD Along with Soundwave in a better, more accurate metallic grey...!
Oh well, they appear to have just started, so hopeful for any future waves! ^^

I think that's all we'll be getting with Legacy Figures (4 for each movie). After AD18 and AD19, we're getting AoE figures again, including Leader Grimlock, Lockdown, Galvatron and Hound.
