WFCS Wave 3 and 4 case breakdown. Only 3 Reflectors per case.

[DELTAprime]

So if you are like me and want a full set of 3 Reflectors you are going to need to be on the lookout for a freshly opened case of Wave 3 WFCS Deluxes.

There are only 3 Reflectors in each case of Wave 3 Deluxes and he is not repeated in Wave 4. The full breakdown of the cases is as follows.


Wave 3

3x Red Alert
3x Reflector
2x Brunt
(subject to change)

Wave 4

2x Sixgun
2x Barricade
2x Impactor
2x Mirage
(subject to change)

So Reflector is essentially short packed given Hasbro is expecting people to each buy 3 of him.

And understandably so. Retailers won't touch a case of 8 figures that are the same. Sucks, but such is life.

[FatalityPitt]

Maybe Hasbro might do a solid case one day, or perhaps include Reflectors in future revision waves?

Given I don't have any interest in Red Alert or Brunt... do I pre-order a case do avoid chasing them down and just selling the others for whatever I can? Given how awful local distribution can be, it's probably the easiest option..

Why would people buy 3 if they are 100% identical? Is it a matter of 3 for the sake of having 3?

Because 1 turns into a "this-is-a-space-cannon-because-we-said-so" while 3 combine to form a camera.

Ah right. :o

Gotta admit "this-is-a-space-cannon-because-we-said-so" does have its appeal in description... less so in pics.

CAMRA NOT SPACE CANNON!:p

I imagine there will be a 3 pack at some stage...

However I could imagine waiting for it, only to be in toy colours?

This'll be a BBTS job for me I think.

Wonder if major retailers here will shun wave 4 if they end up with shelf warming wave 3 Red Alerts & Brunts.

3 Reflectors pre-ordered at HLJ (https://hlj.com/sg-28-transformers-siege-decepticon-reflector-tkt13651). Screw the local retail roulette.

I did the same, and for the same reason.

The Refraktor/Reflector toy in a video review and some screenshots (https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/05/19/war-for-cybertron-siege-deluxe-class-refraktor-reflector-in-hand-images-388408).
It is shown next to the largest Siege Deluxe toy (Ironhide) so looks very small, but would be on par with most of the Deluxes.

Seemed to be a few cases out at a time for Wave 2 deluxes. Hope there plenty to go around, it’s gonna be expensive.

Won't be long until Hasbro increases the price again or makes the figures even more hollow to keep them the same size.:(

The bonus content on the Hasbro website from the Refraktor/Reflector toy has been revealed to be some artwork (https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/05/31/siege-refraktor-teletraan-file-revealing-a-possible-camera-mode-with-extra-parts-389058) that suggests we could see some extra parts for the combined mode, to make it look more like the original Gen1 camera (on the cartoon).
Or it could just be the original concept art, with proposed parts that were never made.
