    The set of six includes the most iconic characters - Optimus, Bumblebee, Grimlock, Megatron, Soundwave (with Laserbeak), and Starscream. Apparently Starscream is a limited edition chase figure, which is kinda stupid if this is a set that has the incentive of collecting all of them to complete the diorama. It's like having one of those build-a-figure sets with one toy being a hard to find limited figure, preventing most people from completing the bonus figure, or having to pay excessive amounts of money to get it.
    They were US$8 each, and look to be about Deluxe sized, so pretty good pricing.

    They have the X-Men versions of these currently at Big W, so I wouldn't be surprised if these made their way there too.

    Going by memory I think the boxes are about 6-7 inches tall, which would make the figures themselves about Scout / Legends sized

    I didn't remember this, when I saw the Marvel ones on Friday at a BigW near me... but they weren't in the system, and the customer service desk had a lot of trouble finding them.
    They were $16 here... which is a fair bit above the US retail price of US$8, but not surprising for items imported here.

    The extra chase figure has been found - Thundercracker, which is exclusive to Walgreens in America.
    If these come to Australia, we probably won't see Thundercracker, unless the local distributor (Banter) finds an outlet for them.

    Only a couple days after Thundercracker was found, another chase figure has been found - Skywarp, which looks like it could be exclusive to Target in America.

    Not sure if these have been seen in Australia yet, but I saw them tonight in a Toyworld for $25 each.

    The connecting diorama figures?
    Daaaaaaaaaamn. They are only us$8 each in America.
    And I thought the expected $16 at BigW was expensive.
    (and if they don't have the two exclusive redecos in Australia - Skywarp & Thundercracker - that would be a VERY expensive set for anyone here wanting them)

    Yeah it was the connecting diorama figs, and yes I did a double take at the price. Tbh I think $8 would be about right and $16 is already over priced, but at $25, no thanks.

    A new reveal by Prime-1 Studios of some upcoming statues of theirs... and some look very big, so are probably very expensive.
    The big one is DOTM Jetwing Optimus, which is almost 1 meter tall!
    Two others are WFC Optimus and Megatron (separate statues).
    And a teaser of ROTF Sideswipe.
