August release for Rotorstorm and Sept for the other two. And don't worry about the Rotorstorm having the wrong head in the stock photos, Hasbro confirmed the final release will have a proper Rotorstorm head

That's a relief. I was about to cancel my pre-order. I wish they'd done a voyager; but that wasn't going to happen

[nalops]

Best pic of the new head I could find.

Preordered Rotorstorm now.

Thanks for the info on the head nalops. I was really disappointed about the head, but now Rotorstorm has gone from a lazy repaint to near perfect for me. Well at least as perfect as you can get without a unique mould for Rotorstorm.

[griffin]

A photo of the new head was also posted in the FFF news topic, which they said that it was definitely going to have....

That is a big chin....

Got a text telling my pre-order would be released ruing Stage 4 lockdowns and I could convert it to home delivery. Didn't tell me which but I have Rotorstorm and Hubcap on order so one might be out soon?

Rotostorm is apparently out this month, Hubcap and Greasepit are September release atm.

Rotorstorm was supposed to be out last week and has been pushed to August 28th now.

[Chevron Action Flash]

thanks for the heads up. Hubs and Roto ordered.

You do know that if you pre-order closer to the release date that you *may* not receive the item until a few weeks after the toy has dropped?

Nah, EB are pretty good with late pre-orders although not sure how it is in Melbourne at the moment. Here in Brisbane, I was able to preorder Doubledealer in store last Monday and got the call on Thursday to pick it up.

[SMHFConvoy]

I placed a pre-order for a SW figure too close to release and I had to wait a week for them to restock is all.

Ah fair enough. Guessing that would've had much more demand?

[reillyd]

Rotorstorm was bumped from 21/7 to 28/7 and now is listed for ?September? so may well be Christmas at this rate. I really want to get my hands on him though..... first world problems, right?

I think it was always set for a September release but it's only been bumped twice.

[The Letter M]

Rotorstorm is showing as "Out Now" on my orders page, and is only available for delivery from the list of pre-orders.

Not showing on my orders page and Greasepit has been pushed to 25th of September.

[griffin]

It's saying 8th September now so maybe it said "out now" by default when it reached the 1st, which was the previous release date.

I also just checked and can also confirm that the date is the 8th

That was from last week's update when it was supposed to drop on the 28th/29th of August. It usually updates in the arvo of the day when the toy is supposed to drop.

[Zommael]

Mine was still showing as Out Now when I checked this morning but I called the store and they just said this month.

Are you looking in your order history or just on the EB/Zing site? Because my order history now says it's scheduled for the 15th. I'm glad that EB Zing keeps us informed but the rolling delays caused by whatever the issue is, is starting to grate on me and doesn't give me much faith in being able to get Gigawatt when that pre-order goes live.

[The Letter M]

Looks very much like Rotorstorm is out today (at least for Brisbane which is where their warehouse is).

Yep, got charged for mine yesterday from Zing and it's been shipped and everything.

[SMHFConvoy]

Mines been processed but not charged because I chose click and collect. So I guess sometime next week?

You won't get charged until you go in to collect it.

[reillyd]

Just got a call about Rotorstorm being in stock at my local Zing (Helensvale). Unfortunately it came out on a workday..... grrr.... first world problems

[SMHFConvoy]

I was talking about getting a call next week that it was in store.
Anyway, I just picked mine up.

[Zommael]

Picked up mine this afternoon. Very happy with it.

[MayzaPrime]

Still haven't had a call up yet for mine...

[SMHFConvoy]

Check your EB account if it says processed, call them to confirm and pick him up :)

[VERT]

I got my Rotorstorm on Sat. Never got a call. But just asked about it when I was in. It was like. Oh yeah I think it's in.

[Lint]

My card was finally charged for Greasepit this morning. No corroborating email yet though.

[DELTAprime]

Got a text saying my Rotorstorm is ready to be picked up. I'll probably head over to the store later today.

[Fuzzy Barbarian]

My Rotorstorm arrived today from Zing.

After getting through the confusing packaging, it was well-packaged and in good shape :)

[Seraphim Prime]

The EB Games and Zing newsletter indicates that Greasepit and Hubcap are coming this week/next week

[DELTAprime]

The girl I was served by at my local EB Games said that my total for Rotorstorm was $750. I quickly pointed out that she had the wrong Transformer. Your standard EB Games staff member has no idea about Transformers, or in many cases, video games for that matter.

Well, considering Volcanicus is $500... :p

[i_amtrunks]

Got the message yesterday that Rotorstorm was ready so went and picked it up and the clerk said greasepit and hubcap were also available but stored out the back. I wonder if it's to allow stock to arrive across the country before going "on sale"?

[nalops]

Probably should've gone in to EB today when I had the chance to ask about Greasepit but didn't have much time. Hopefully can get it on Thursday.
