TFPrime First Edition (reissue) & Dark Energon update

[griffin]

Looks like three US sources have access to the reissued First Edition figures (BBTS, Entertainment Earth, TRU), and will start selling them soon.

Plus, the BBTS exclusive Dark Energon set (six TFPrime toys in translucent plastic) will start pre-orders from tomorrow-ish.

Finally I might be able to get a FE Prime at a reasonable price.

It pays to be patient sometimes ;)

It pays to be patient sometimes ;)

Yet to see prices or availability so wouldn't get your hopes up yet.

[Quickstrike]

I want Wheeljack Slicer. Badly.

Prices for the dark energon figures are pretty good, the main problem is that you can only buy a set of all 4 deluxe or both voyagers, no cherry picking here.

[GL-Sideswipe]

Just preordered both sets :) I was pretty happy about the price cept I didn't really want prime, good sacrifice I guess to get that Megs :)

BBTS have updated their descriptions of the Dark Energon sets (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/sponsor-news-19/big-bad-toy-store-sponsor-update-dark-energon-exclusives-and-more-175867/), to mention that the Deluxe figures (bought as a set of 4) will also come with a bonus DVD. No mention of what is on it, but probably will just be a single episode or story that featured Dark Energon.

Packaging images of the two Voyager redecos have been released (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/in-package-image-of-bbts-exclusive-dark-energon-voyagers-176114/).

More packaged images of the Dark Energon figures (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/inpackage-images-exclusive-transformers-prime-dark-energon-deluxes/26275/), as they have arrived at Asian sources, including Singapore TRU stores (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/dark-energon-figures-spotted-at-singapore-retail/26292/). (it was only a BBTS in America, not the whole world... but I doubt they would appear here)

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Hero Gangu has them, albeit at the usual Hero Gangu markup. On the plus side, they're selling them individually.

[Megatron]

Oooh nice. I gotta get me one of those!

[griffin]

Just checked my emails, and two days ago BBTS were shipping out their Deluxe foursome.

[griffin]

The Dark Energon Voyagers (Optimus & Megatron) have now been found in Singapore (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/prime-dark-energon-voyagers-released-176573/), and are also soon to be released by BBTS.... for those who had them on pre-order, or still want them.

[reillyd]

They have individual deluxes at BBTS too, but Wheeljack is sold out. Also available at robotkingdom if you want a set.

BBTS has now started shipping their stock (they just sent me a shipping notice).
