Did I say anything about it being Blurr? Perhaps I'm being confused with someone else.
If that's the case every blue Autobot ever is Blurr.
Buestreak, Smokescreen, Tracks who dat?
Please go back and read what you quoted, it was an argument regarding Blurr. If your response had nothing to do with that, then what was your point?
Sabr said he was black I was saying that he was not.
Like I never said anything about blurr so what are you going on about?
Can I not make a comment without getting into an argument I'm not looking for?

I think this be where the confusion was. Prowl4 talked about Blurr and got quoted inside a quote.

Wind Designs??? :O That's actually in my frickin' town! Used to work in a factory right near it and pop in there at lunch times and bought a couple DotM Transformers. I don't think they have the public shop room at front anymore though but maybe they'll let me pick up some Transformers anyways cos it sure would save me a lot of time and busfare not having to get the 1 hour 20 mins bus to Cambridge everytime I want to look for TF toys in Toys R Us and such. Had forgotten about that place but if they're getting TLK toys I need to know if I can just cycle down and get some rather than have to order and pay silly postage!

Exactly, if Deadput doesnt want to get into arguments he's not looking for, he shouldnt be arguing about something unrelated.
@ Deadput, in light of this, your argument about black vs dark blue looks like arguing for the sake of it. Which is exactly what you wanted to avoid. Just go back and read what you quoted. If what you want to say has nothing to do with it, then dont quote it and you wont enter unecesarry arguments. Remember that for next time please.

Thanks Va'al for posting that bit (though it took me a while to recall why I should know the name 'Wind Designs')
yeah I'm happy now.

As always, if you come across any new (or old) toys near you, make sure to flag them up in the Sightings Database and Forums, to help out fellow collectors and fans - with only four days left for the official street date for these, all we have left to say is: happy hunting!
The Movie toys are now officially here, and the first ones have just been found today at some Kmarts in Sydney... just 3 days before the official release date (expect most stores to hold onto them until Monday).
So far found are the Titan Changers Optimus and Bumblebee (which leaked to a Toyworld store in February by mistake), but expect the full onslaught of wave 1 Deluxe, Voyager, Legions, Knight Armor Turbo Changers, 1-step Turbo Changers, the Tiny Turbo Changers... and maybe some others.

They're close enough to the cockpit kibble to have me worried the best figure in the line is going to have problems I can't fix

Why the hell can I not just simply say that a character had blue armor and not black and leave it at that without joining the debate they were having about Blurr.
I did not want to talk about Blurr I wanted to correct Sabr saying that Drift's armor was black when it was not.
Like how is this so difficult for me to explain?

I didn't notice the big difference in the car modes til now and why it ends up changing the transformation slightly. I do wonder if the backpack can be raised on the new figure to match the old. If nothing else the backpack works great for holding the unused swords and looks cool doing it.
It is, and it looks almost as glorious as the AoE voyager's head sculpt. I LOVE IT WITH A PASSION.
And yeah, I really hope you're not forced to have his backpack like a dumb cape like with Barricade.

Or maybe a Platicum edition set, but it's normally assumed now that box sets are for a current line rather than an ongoing like Platinum.
I could dig a Optimus and Megatron voyager set.

Well, if history is anything to go by, it most certainly is not, may just take a while to see their improved version

Is it not natural to correct someone on a small fact in a fandom that's super obsessed with facts like this?

The two pack rumor is interesting. Maybe exclusive decos for the two voyager figures? Maybe more silver on prime to more closely represent how he apparently looks in the movie? I dunno what you'd do to Megs. Either way I can't see them just re-releasing the mainline figures without changing anything just in a two pack.

We know the movie two pack will be 2 legion figures, thats the only rumour i know about. Is there another?

It's probably just gonna end up being something dumb like that exclusive 'dirty and grimy' prime and 'bee figures

I was talking about the packaging. People were talking about it being a Optimus/Megatron box set. Platinum edition style.
Posted by william-james88 on April 21st, 2017 @ 2:35pm CDT
Here are the listings. Oddly, there is no (blank) listing past Scorn, also further confirming that the mainline will only have 6 voyager figures.
So, for example, the Voyager Class would start at TRUP2459650001, which is a blank listing, but in the header it says "Tf5 Premier Voyager Ast". So that listing is for the assortment in general. It works like this for every assortment.
TRUP2459650005 "Tf5 Premier Voyager Ast Autobot Hound".
TRUP2459650006 "Tf5 Premier Voyager Ast Bumblebee".
TRUP2459650007 "Tf5 Premier Voyager Ast Scorn".
Here is below, the last (and only time) we had a movie line Bumblebee at the voyager price point, just to give you an idea at what can happen.

Sorry, I didnt catch that. That would be AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Seaking of great decos though, while i was never gonna get it I cant help but feel dissapointed at how the cool deco seen at Toyfair for Leader Prime totally did not translate to the finished toy.
They ever removed the flame details on his chest.

wouldnt this be a case of aoe leader grimlock too. here they could change it at the last minute.

If this is the case that we get better deluxes in voyager packages, then I'd totally be down. They can release what they're releasing in the deluxe lines now in the deluxe lines (which I think is decent, maybe not as good as it once was in my opinion but still, good), and make better deluxes for voyager prices to please the collectors more, and the young ones who realize that man, that later-wave Bee looks so much better than that AOE repaint (more like a depaint am I right? Up top! Sorry, I'll show myself out now).

Well, the paint of those figures do look nice, but not 1/2 or 1/3 more expensive nice. Bet most of the price increase went to the fancy packaging.
I was about to buy the 1-step TLK Hound for my Hound/Bulkhead collection. But it's 14$CAN! WITH NO PAINT! I've seen dollar stores KOs with more paint than that. Once again, 14$!
Jesus.
Who-love-his-mom-a-bit-too-much.

Well, let's see if the voyager Optimus in the "lost-in-space" deco would ever come out. That, I'd buy right away. Along voyager Hound and Megatron. But those last two will only come out this summer. Oh well...

Plenty of blue throughout and drift hasn't been known to wear blue. Not only that but the bugatti veyron is the fastest car in the world so that'd also make me think of blurr.

I'd love to have a lil truck bee though, because as much as I love ludicrous amounts of camaros, I love variety too.
I think people are sleeping on bumblebee being the new prime to be honest. Just hoping mark Ryan doesn't voice him.

Really, did you see the final deco? It doesnt look as sexy as the first time he was revealed.
He wont come to Canada but he will be out at BBTS and Robot Kingdom so you will be able to buy him there.
Another thing, even if you wanted to buy those one steps, they wouldnt have let you. TRU's cash freezes when they scan those since they hardcoded a street date. I tried. Walmart didnt though so you can buy from them no problem.
And I mentioned before that Voyager Prime didnt have the deco in the right place. Here are some examples. There is this flimsy plastic piece that is a totally diferent colour than the rest of his body to hide the legs in truck mode and the lack of paint on it makes it stand out and not in a good way:

Ah, smart! While they are bigger than voyager, I would still put them as voyager. Using Takara once again as a precedent, their Movie the Best HA Soundwave was sold at the voyager price point.
And yes 100% intentional
