Generations Voyager Springer & Blitzwing in-hand pics

[Shirokaze]

So glad I pre-ordered these straight after Griffin confirmed they wouldn't be coming to Oz!

Springer looks especially well thought out and has me really excited. Blitzwing looks great too but it's a shame about his shoulders not locking into his torso in bot mode.

Springer looks really good. I am looking forward to it.

I am also happy with Blitzwing but feel his colors could be a little better somehow,

Does anyone know where I can preorder these, assuming they are still available? Best (Official) TFs I've seen in years.

BBTS has them.

I just opened my first BBTS account and preordered. *sigh* Does Hasbro Australia just not want our business?

Thanks Gok, do you know how much would the shipping cost? I found it on RK as well, but it's $15 more expensive...

No idea -- I very rarely shop online, and I've never dealt w/ BBTS before.

Edit: I just checked - the default option is USPS Air Mail, which is US$13.99 plus $5.75 per 455g... so mebbe about $20. The preorder price for the two Voyagers is $44.99, so it'll cost at least $64.73 including postage - which makes it $32.37 per Voyager. That's still pretty damn cheap by Australian RRP standards!

Ah i just checked with this item in cart, says $31.24 for normal non-tracking air mail. Urk, so that's about $76.

Did the same with RK and it's $85 total with registered and insured airmail.

So extra $9 for faster shipping(RK seem to have stock in hand) and more secure mail?

Roche Springer looks amazing. Blitzwing looks alright but I will wait for the speculated Flywheels repaint. Just gotta wait for BBTS to get these in so I can ship my POL.

$76 is still a bit cheaper than two full priced Voyagers in Australia, so it still falls within my "Not above RRP" rule. But thanks for the heads up... lets me know how much I should be saving.

One advantage of BBTS is the ability to accrue items in the PILE OF LOOT® system and thus unlock MEGA-SHIPPING-SAVINGS™.

I saw somewhere a picture of this new Springer wielding a giant chain gun ala LSOTW Issue #6, very nifty.
