    Default Two new Generations 2-packs revealed

    Last night Hasbro (the Transformers facebook page) revealed two new 2-packs for Legacy Evolution, exclusive to Amazon in America.
    https://www.facebook.com/transformer...Wp9LSJXduFky3l

    One is "Humble Origins" with Senator Shockwave (a really weird looking light blue remoulded Siege Seeker Pyramid Jet) and Orion Pax (a remoulded Siege Hound).
    The other pack is "Rise of Tyranny", with Senator Ratbat (a remoulded Studio Series Scourge) and Miner Megatron (remoulded Seige Megatron).

    The strange thing is that in America, their Amazon has Humble Origins (a Deluxe and Voyager) listed for us$70, while Rise of Tyranny pack (two Voyagers) is listed for us$55. They should be priced the other way around, based on the size of the contents.
    Unfortunately, we don't yet have both 2-packs listed on Amazon Australia yet to see if our pricing matches that, or if our pricing matches the different sized contents.

    Early today, Amazon Australia put up a pre-order listing for just one of the 2-packs... but... someone screwed it up. The product page title, the URL name, and the product description paragraphs are all for the Humble Origins 2-pack, while the images are of the Rise of Tyranny 2-pack.
    https://www.amazon.com.au/Transforme...dp/B0BDJ6XK2S/
    It was listed for au$83, for release September 30th.

    After I pointed this out to Hasbro to get it fixed, the listing has just been edited. Instead of just changing the images to match everything else (including the most important part - the link that has the product named in it), they changed the product page title and the product description paragraphs to match the images... leaving it with a URL that says "Senator Shockwave" who is in the other 2-pack.
    (the release date is still the same, but the price changed very slightly, down to a little above au$82)

    It also means that, even if they list the other 2-pack later, if Amazon Australia have fixed the wrong bits on this one and it is still a listing for the Humble Origins 2-pack, people who only want one of the two 2-packs, may get the wrong 2-pack sent to them if the listing is not matching whatever product code goes with the set.

    Hopefully they list the other 2-pack soon, as I want to order both... so it then wouldn't affect me if both listings are actually selling the other 2-pack.

    The most important part of the Amazon listings is not the product name, though. The most important part is the product codes, which are what really decide what you have ordered.

    Pax and Shockers are F6964 (currently showing as Megs and Ratbat)
    Megs and Ratbat are F7015 (currently showing as Pax and Shockers)

    So the Humble Origins pack is indeed listed, just not active yet.
    I hope someone there or at Hasbro notices it, or else it may not be activated for pre-orders, and just be made available when the stock arrives in September.

    I think they activated them backwards in the same way that they got the items backwards

    And it has been activated now, so both sets can be ordered.

    Yes they are... and just like in America, the bigger 2-pack is cheaper than the smaller 2-pack.

    The 2-pack with 2 Voyagers (Ratbat/Megatron) is $82, while the 2-pack with 1 Voyager and 1 Deluxe (Shockwave/Optimus) is $94.

    These are being delivered in the US at the moment, and as expected they are the wrong way around - people who ordered the Humble Origins set are receiving Megatron and Ratbat.
