    Default Highbrow?

    Forgive my ignorance, but shouldn't we have seen him here by now? What's going on?

    I have a funny feeling we may have skipped Wave 3 (his wave - which also contained Prime and The Fallen).

    And only recently has Wave 2 started to make their appearance at normal retail (Banzaitron) and now it seems they've jumped right onto Wave 4 (RTS Grappel, Lugnut and Strafe).

    We often miss a few figures over Christmas/near the end of a line when Aussie retailers aren't purchasing much stock anymore and/or Hasbro concentrates its efforts on the American market.

    I think the problem also was that we had tonnes of Wave 1 Voyagers still shelf warming for ages - Seaspray, Ratchet and Payload still seem to be everywhere.

    Having said that though, I think the Highbrow wave wasn't released in great quantities since even online places like RK don't have stock of them and there weren't even that many listed on eBay (believe me, I kept watch for ages and finally sourced one from the US for pretty much AUS Voyager RRP)

    There's quite a few more listed now that Taktomy has released their version, so maybe that's your best bet (slightly superior paint apps too).

    Yes. Wave 1 does not seem to move but also seems to have been over ordered (in legend size as well). Did anyone buy anything but Seaspray? I am still generally convinced that toys (particularly movie toys) should be sold in vehicle mode not in robot mode.

    That's an interesting comment. the robot mode can be a bit ugly.
    Mixmaster was sold in vehicle mode, which is a good thing, otherwise there would be nothing but them on shelves. that is one Ugly sof.


    I personally only bought Seaspray because I already had the molds of the others. I do like scavengers robot mode though, very good propertions I think.

    I am hanging for Highbrow, I love the new aircraft that they are producing, they actually look good in robot and vehicle mode.
