That's awesome, but kind of concerned that some items are missing, like "The ark". Unless Cyberverse Action is this item?

[FFN]

Cyberverse Action Set should be the Cyberverse + vehicle playset (Bumblebee with Mobile Battle Bunker, Optimus Prime with trailer ect)

The Ark is the Cyberverse playset class, I believe.

[Sky Shadow]

Even if it's not at Big W at this early date, there's still plenty of time and numerous other chains before this should be a concern.

[griffin]

The two big items (Optimus and that Spaceship playset) are a much later release, like Aug/Sept. Those items listed in the system would only be just covering the initial release of May/June.

[liegeprime]

oooh time to trek to Big W and have a looksie :)... What category are those with driver partners again? Dune Buggy and helicopter... those are what Im after only :p

@Skyshadow: Is that Danguard Ace of Shogun Warriors in your sig, like it!!:D:D

@Skyshadow: Is that Danguard Ace of Shogun Warriors in your sig, like it!!:D:D

Yep. It's from issue #18, four years before Marvel would decide to name another giant robot character 'Megatron' and drawn by future Transformers artist Herb Trimpe:

some more info

[Mr Ed]

I am aware that some Xbox 360 games have an embargo on them. It is my understanding if someone breaks it, it is fair game?

Does the same apply to DOTM toys?

I know target at Whitfords City had ROTF stock out 2 days before the launch but I'm not game to break the embargo unless given the go ahead by support office. Either way we should start getting in stock in the next week or so. Will post pictures of what is in the first waves of DOTM when they come in.

Ooh! :eek:
Shockwave - Shockwave - Shockwave! :p:D

If it's not going to get you into Strife with management dude, those pics would be really appreciated. ;):cool:

[reillyd]

Damn that embargo warning........ Let's hope some people don't read it and put stock out earlier. Walmart has had it for aaaages now.

[Bartrim]

Boo for embargo dates:mad:

I remeber when I worked at Clyde Mazda in Batemans Bay because we had no storage room and had to put the brand new Mazda 6 in the showroom before it's embargo date.

[KaRNiV8L PRiME]

Damn that embargo warning........ Let's hope some people don't read it and put stock out earlier. Walmart has had it for aaaages now.

im certain like ROTF it will be clearly marked on the boxes also

[Doubledealer]

Wowsers, these toys really are just around the corner hey! Will be nice to see the Transformers aisles full for once, and hope the packaging for the Cyberverse toys is as funky as the voyagers. :)

[FFN]

Damn that embargo warning........ Let's hope some people don't read it and put stock out earlier. Walmart has had it for aaaages now. Not exactly, from what I heard. Some Walmarts accidentally put out Cyberverse Legion and Action Sets. They've not put out the entire range, and they haven't done so at a large scale, from what I understand.

[Accel]

Looks like we are getting them the day before America does. huzzah!

Aaargh, the wait begins....

There's a post on seibertron.com about Canada releases already.
I hope my local BigW doesn't pay attention to Hasbro's embargo,
or are just too busy to notice the date when they start unpacking boxes.
There's a huge amount of stock being unloaded across many lines, so its hopeful.

Something tells me a toy sale is coming.

[Accel]

There's been a post on /toy/ showing a guy with Sentinel prime with a receipt so I guess the street date has been broken in the US and Canada

[kaiden]

im just looking forward to getting voyager shockwave and HA fiigures.

[SkyWarp91]

Everytime I see this thread title in my browser I jump for joy, but get stuck cos of the last part (in Big W item lookup) :)

[Accel]

and now Shocky is out in America @_@ I hope the dates get broken soon

[KaRNiV8L PRiME]

Stock should be arriving in store this week!!! Will post pics asap. However even though the embargo has been broken a number of times overseas, I cannot/will not break it without head offices approval.

Do you know what we should be expecting in Wave 1 of DOTM toys?

[KaRNiV8L PRiME]

Do you know what we should be expecting in Wave 1 of DOTM toys?

Nope, not yet but will post when it arrives

[FFN]

According to Robot Kingdom (http://www.robotkingdom.com/services/eshop/main.php?action=list&CatType=Category&CatID=82&lang=us), Deluxe Wave 1's case will contain:
3x Bumblebee
1x Ratchet
1x Starscream
1x Skids
1x Roadbuster
1x Crankcase

Deluxe Wave 2 will contain:
2x Bumblebee
1x Starscream
1x Roadbuster
1x Jolt,
1x Sidwswipe
1x Topspin
1x Barricade

Voyager Wave 1:
2x Optimus Prime
1x Ironhide
1x Megatron

Voyager Wave 2:
2x Optimus Prime
1x Shockwave
1x Skyhammer

Leader Wave 1:
1x Bumblebee
1x Sentinel Prime

Leader Wave 2:
1x Bumblebee
1x Ironhide


You probably shouldn't worry about the abundance of Deluxe class Bumblebee. Once the movie hits, kids should clear them out.

[1AZRAEL1]

So I have to wait until wave 2 before I get Shockwave? Oh well, at least it gives me time to save some money :p

Judging by the dates at RK and how some americans have managed to purchase wave 2 things early, Wave 1 and 2 will probably be out at roughly the same time, if not exactly the same time. Of course, might depend on what stock Hasbro AU managed to get in, and what the stores ordered. As Griffin's Toyfair report showed, retailers could end up ordering loads of wave 1 stuff and is then content to not order anything else because current stock isn't moving.

Me, I want Leader class Ironhide. Video reviews I've seen seem to proclaim him to be the best of the line.

I heard that this time around the toys would be cheaper, is that right?

[FFN]

It's somewhere in this forum, somebody photographed kmart shelf tags with prices that seem much too low. It's probably just a mistake.

[reillyd]

I saw a BIGW employee (won't name the store) unloading boxes with a May 15 embargo date....... but it was from Mattel, not Hasbro. Grrrr.....

I'm thinking that they may be a bit more careful with DOTM toys. Might have to try quite a few stores, but I'm hoping somebody sees all the blank pegs and decides to fill them with Transformers joy

[Bartrim]

K-mart in Batemans Bay has cleared a big space out where their transformers were.

lol was CARS 2 stock. Also embargoed

[SkyWarp91]

Wait I just realized there's going to be Deluxe Roadbuster and Topspin, which are 2/3 Wreckers and the 3rd Wrecker, Leadfoot, will be a Human Alliance Deluxe Figure.... ...so much for scale consitencies

There is also a Human Alliance Roadbuster in BBTS preorder. Also who's to say deluxe Leadfoot wont come out in a later wave?

Well according to a story on Seibertron (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/could-a-uk-retailer-be-getting-a-dotm-exclusive-leadfoot/21466/), Leadfoot is a Target exclusive in the US, so we may get him here as well as an exclusive? Doesn't say what it is, only that it's not Cyberverse. So he may be deluxe. But we won't know until more details come.

[griffin]

I think Leadfoot had to be a Target exclusive because it uses a Racecar with a big Target logo as its hood sponsor... no other store chain would want that in their stores promoting a rival.

[1AZRAEL1]

True, but what I meant was there seems to be another Leadfoot figure. Just speculating it could be Deluxe to fit with the other 2. And hoping that Target picks it up here as well.

[SkyWarp91]

Fingers crossed. Even though the movie lines aren't 100% accurate with their scales between classes, it's been good enough with ROTF Legends Wheelie sitting next to a Deluxe Barricade in front of a Leader Class Megatron. It'd just be weird having 3 cars of the same group with 1 of them being oddly huger than the other two,

[swoop]

And I can also tell you all that DOTM toys will be heavily reduced at the mid year toy sale. I personally will not be buying anymore DOTM at full price before then as these prices are simply too good.

Do you have the date for when the mid year sale starts?

[AX83]

ok just another quick update
human alliance exclusive $28.84


Leadfoot and Steeljaw?

When is it due?

[griffin]

human alliance exclusive - This should be the regular 3 we know about (Black Bbee (http://www.toycollectors.com.au/tftoys/mt31.jpg), Black Skids (http://www.toycollectors.com.au/tftoys/mt32.jpg), Roadbuster (http://www.toycollectors.com.au/tftoys/mt35.jpg))
bashbots assorted exclusive - I didn't think we would be getting these (http://www.toycollectors.com.au/tftoys/rp05a.jpg) here (http://www.toycollectors.com.au/tftoys/rp05b.jpg), because they are VERY gimmicky. (probably "exclusive" because no other store wanted them)
cyberverse ark $48.87 - nice price... but still a lot more than the US retail of $30, which is currently about AU$28.


Leadfoot and Steeljaw?This was confirmed to be a Target Exclusive in America so can't be a general release item with the other Three. Although, we've seen product samples without the Target logo, possibly to allow for a release in a store other than Target in other countries. If Hasbro AUS gets AUS Target signed up, we could still have the full 'Target' deco version here.
Then again, if this BigW exclusive is Leadfoot, it would have to be the version without the Target deco on the front.
