TFPrime Wave 0 (First Edition) out in HK

[griffin]

Good work on getting some. I've only managed to find Bumblebee and the two-pack so far.
(And I don't use Robotkingdom anymore - but they still have in stock full cases - scratch that... this morning they still had everything in stock, but are now sold out completely)

there are cheaper places to get these other then BBTS. dont get me wrong BBTS is an excellent online store, but Ive found places that are a lot cheaper.
I pre ordered the Takara versions. They will have more paint aps. As usual will look better then the hasbro versions. Ive been waiting for these figures for a long time.
Looking forward to getting these.

Some video reviews of Cliffjumper and Bumblebee.

at the moment I can get the NYC Bumblebee & Arcee 2 pack from the hasbro store for $30 befre postage.

just don't know if its worth it as I'm already getting the optimus/megatron 2 pack which comes with all 3 kids.

I preordered Takara's Bulkhead. I hope they don't do anything weird like they did with the Henkei and Animated stuff.

Just thought it worth mentioning that all the First Edition deluxe toys I've purchased online (Arcee, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Starscream) have only two "distrubted by" addresses on the bottom: One for Hasbro Australia and one for Hasbro New Zealand.

I think this would mean that Hasbro does intend for the First Edition packaging figures to be sold here eventually.

ALL Transformers toys have had those addresses on them for years
Even stuff that was USA exclusive. Amazon Unicron has it for example.

Doesn't mean they will be released here and Hasbro NZ have already said to the NZ community that we are not getting the first editions here.

They were missing the "in UK" address that I'm used to seeing so I thought this might be a bit different, but on checking the DOTM toys I see those had only the same two (AUS and NZ) addresses too. Oh well... thought it might be a positive sign.

Since packaging is often designed and produced before Hasbro signs up pre-orders with stores (or markets/countries), listing set distribution addresses is usually part of the standard "templates" of packaging layout... included just in case that country ends up distributing. After all, it is better if they list extra info, than missing necessary info.
