Mail Order Ravage Update

[Starscream212]

I Found this article on seibertron.com
http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/alternate-packaging-of-battlefield-bumblebee-and-infiltration-soundwave-2pack/17440/

It shows an alternate package for The NEST Battlefield Bumblebee and Infiltration Soundwave, which is on ebay!
Sadly this package has NO mail order details or Iron on Patch, This looks like the version Australia will most probally get as the mail order ravage is a US exclusive, but the figures have been confirmed for Australia.

This is purely speculation, but most probally confirms that the ravage is a US exclusive and kills the tiny amount hope of it being part of Australia!:mad:

Oh well, its not an essential figure in my eyes, but it would be cool to have one, hopefully they wont be too price inflated when they appear on ebay.

looks like group order for me or just repaint one of my ravages - probably be better than hasbros:p

Some more pics of the elusive figure

Are the back legs going to be chrome aswell??? Hope so maybe its an unfinished prototype...

[Grievous]

Well...we can always cross our fingers and hope this mail
order Ravage gets a special in store release here in Australia...

I mean...stranger things have happened...

I think?
:confused:

It looks ok I suppose but I think I might prefer the pure black RotF Ravage myself.
One thing though, if it's a US only mail in offer why not just use a US post box service?
Then, for the purpose of this offer, you would look like a US resident...

[Grievous]

I picked up The NEST Battlefield Bumblebee vs. Infiltration Soundwave
two pack today...and there is no sign of any mail order Ravage details...
:(

[DarkHyren]

There's a picture of what the order form looks like here: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/exclusive-nest-global-alliance-mailin-offer-figure-revealed/17262/
If there was no "Mission Guide" as they call it, were there any of the redemption stickers?

[Grievous]

^No...nothing but an instruction sheet...a double sided one at that...
:confused:

Ours is the non-American release of the 2-pack. The American version has the iron-on patch in the box between the two toys, and has details on how to get the Ravage toy (on the side of the box, and inside with a leaflet).

[DarkHyren]

Well, then looks like ordering from overseas is the only way to get the gear to even send in the order form.
Still might be better value all up to do it that way then whatever price the online stores end up selling Ravage for though.

[Grievous]

Why don't we get the iron-on patch?
:confused:

That would have looked really
good on one of my business shirts...
;)

That didnt take long - Ebay Auction (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120518657221&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT)

... Getting well out of what I can/want to spend on this figure considering more will probly pop up.

[DarkHyren]

See now that's rediculous how high a cheap mail order figure like that has gotten already.
Just find the an american copy of the NEST Battlefield Bumblebee vs. Infiltration Soundwave on eBay,
buy it and 2 other figures with the stickers, get a US postal box service like Shipito,
send in your mail-in form with your Shipito box as the address and hey presto your done.
If you were going to get NEST Battlefield Bumblebee vs. Infiltration Soundwave and 2 of the other figures that have the stickers you won't really be out much money at all.

6 of 1 - 1/2 Dozen the other really... One way involves buying 3 figures/shipping etc. Which to some is fine if you want all of those figures. To some who may just want the mail away... to a point anyway its comparable.

Shipito is very handy at times for those people in the US who seem to think that a figure that weighs less than a packet of chips costs $40 + to ship.. that much is true.

im guessing $120!

[Grievous]

G...You'd have to be keen...or have a lot of cash...
:eek:

[DarkHyren]

lol, if it gets that high you might as well get the other figures from the US (even if you don't want them) and do the mail-in.
At least you'd have spare TFs :p

Is this the same as the exclusive at TRU?

[Saintly]

I guess someone is going to have to draft up the list of cybertronian typography

Yes, the same as our Recon Ravage at TRU.
