Battle across time collection (Grimlock and Mirage)

Does using the app versus web browser (or vice versa) make a difference?

Not really. Should still be able to pre-order either way. As long as you can access the Hasbro TF page, you shouldn't have a problem.

Thanks.

Hmmm. Who decided that those two toys went together in any way? At least the previous two-packs mostly made a kind of sense.

Guess I'll have to find someone to split it with again...

The 'Orc' reference to 'Elf' on Mirage is quite clever.

The link to the Amazon Australia listing, now up for preorder.

Definitely.

I find it funny that I missed out on normal Siege Mirage but got Decepticon and Holo versions meaning this one won't really be a double up.

I got an email from Amazon AU apologising for getting the release date wrong. I'm guessing I can expect it in November.

I put my order in earlier today and I must admit that I don't feel a buzz. It's not buyer's remorse but just not a lot of enthusiasm. I'm not a fan of Beast Wars, so that's wasted on me, but the price is reasonable (Voyager + Deluxe for discount retailer price and free shipping). It's a good Mirage to me, better with the open cockpit, and of course the colours. Perhaps the best official Mirage to date. Maybe it's the fact that it went to #1 Action Figure on Amazon some hours later, making me think all the scalpers went into a frenzy. And exclusives really annoy me. Or maybe that the order will end up cancelled or crushed to hell and back.

I wish these things were just sold everywhere.

From what I can see, Mirage is a fairly decent remould to make it more "Earth mode" than the Cybertronian mode Siege toy... with several new parts, and the back end of the car mode is transformed differently, so that the spoiler/arms are further back and pointing backwards in car mode.

It's a bit like Netflix Bumblebee... it's a new-mould/significant-remould of a major character that I think should be in the mainline.
Meanwhile, the more obscure character of Beast Wars Grimlock (and this toy doesn't homage that original toy very well with it lacking the right paint details), deserves to be in a small-run exclusive release like this... it is just a shame that the people wanting Earth mode Mirage, have to buy a Voyager Beast Wars toy to get it. (there are more Gen1 fans than BW fans, so Mirage would be the more sought after figure of this pair)

Its smart marketing
