The next wave of deluxe Transformers Revenge of The Fallen 2010 figures has been found by Goaliebot at a Toys R Us in Kitchener, Ontario. New in this wave are Autobot Ratchet (http://www.tfw2005.com/resources/rotf-autobots-383/autobot-ratchet-3701/), Brawn (http://www.tfw2005.com/resources/rotf-autobots-383/brawn-3807/), Lockdown (http://www.tfw2005.com/resources/rotf-decepticons-384/lockdown-3695/) and Strike Mission Sideswipe (http://www.tfw2005.com/resources/rotf-autobots-383/sideswipe-strike-mission-3930/).

See where these, and other Transformers products, are being sighted in our Canadian Transformers Sightings forum (http://www.cybertron.ca/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=4).

[Nemesis Predaking]

Must ...... find........ LOCKDOWN !!!!!

[Megatron666]

i have lockdown, i ordered him from a comic book store and man do i recommand this guy, going to pick up maybe 1 or 2 more and keep them sealed up. the best so far in the entire line.

[Ultra Maverick]

This is great news, can't wait to get Lockdown!

I picked up Brawn about two weeks ago at a comic shop, great figure, even if he is a bit of a shellformer.

[Mumps]

I payed $22ea for lockdown and Brawn at a local toy show, and... They are worth it! Especially Lockdown. Easily one of the top 3 TF's in both the Movie and Classics/Universe line

[Goaliebot]

I was SO excited to spot Strike Mission Sideswipe, knowing what wave he is part of and how much I want Brawn, Ratchet, and Lockdown.

And I was SO dissapointed to find none of the other three. :(

Ah well, at least they are out! Unless it was some kind of bizarre bought-in-US-returned-in-Canada thing. Doubt it though, we're 2 hours from the border here.

[Robimus]

Lockdown and Brawn both look cool. I don't know if I'll get them though.

[Prowl_2009]

Hmm, still need to get the previous wave in my area. :mad: But, still want Lockdown and Brawn! :D

Hmm, I wonder if this is FALSE NEWS on this one. Not Goaliebot's fault, but just as he says, check out the packaging, it is ENGLISH ONLY (look at the conversion difficulty part in the top left corner), which means this is an AMERICAN release. Think that's the first time I ever saw a buy in US - return in Canada happen. Unless there is some other bizarre explanation to the English-only.

[GMfan]

Not the first time we've gotten English only packaging....when the wave 4 and 5 deluxes just popped up for that $11 sale many stores had American packaging....I got my Blazemaster card still to prove it :P

[Paradigm-Shift Prime]

Ok so it could be fine then?

[GMfan]

Could be...it's about time these popped up anyways, been about a month since the last wave popped up...I'm sure a few other reports will trickle in before the flood.

[Mumps]

Lockdown and Brawn both look cool. I don't know if I'll get them though.
Do you have Animated Lockdown? Do you like it?

Cause this version is 100x better, in every way!
The only con this figure has IMO is his claw needs to be a bit more posable.

[Team Jetfire]

YAY!

3 out of 4 will be mine.

The forth will be mine, if there is a sale.

It gave me pause for a second too, but the 2010 Wave 1 deluxes (Dirge, etc) were English only too from what I could tell.

I did once read about someone on these boards returning a Wreckgar to a Canadian TRU that they'd bought in the US, so it does happen, but less likely up here this far from the border...

I hope it's the real deal - I really want 3/4 of this wave! :D

Check the stock again today if you can - its probably someone didn't finish stalking the pegs last night for whatever reason. They might be there right now.

[Uberman]

There was a single stripey NEST Bumblebee floating around the TRU here for about a week and a half before I saw Dirge or anyone else from his wave. But they did come. So that's cool.

What we need now is Walmart to get them and have another 9 bucks or less rollback. That'd be the sweetest plum.

True. Sq1 & Heartland walmarts usually have a good supply of US carded figures warming shelves. Even wave 7's like Dirge were on US card.

Plus, Goaliebot is a trusted member and loyal poster here. I for one have no reason not to belive him.

[jacobot]

TRU has been going back and forth with Canada&U.S. Star Wars packaging too ;)

Before you guys get too excited about this, I'm pretty sure that this figure was a weird US return thing. I checked out the Kitchener Toys R Us after work where the Sideswipe is.

The packaging was only in English (US packaging) and was pretty badly beat up, it looked like the card had been bent in two at one point.

Someone may have ordered the whole set from BBTS or somewhere and exchanged that figure for one they wanted.

I could be wrong, but it seems really fishy to me that

A) There was only one new figure of the wave and no multiples, usually when we get new waves stores tend to get several cases.
B) It was in a damaged US package.

Cheers!

[OneShallFall]

Brawn has the awesome.

Lockdown looks weird,kinda like animatedish.

Sideswipe again...

[Nocturn]

Two Definite Buys.

[CBII]

Brawn looks interesting. Might have to get him and ditch Gears.

[Mighty_Galvatron]

Lockdown looks weird,kinda like animatedish.



Really? :eek::rolleyes:;)


I can also confirm that Sideswipe was there - I was just there...and I can confirm the radical bend in the card.

So who's placing bets that THAT Sideswipe will be a peg-warmer?

[Paradigm-Shift Prime]

Plus, Goaliebot is a trusted member and loyal poster here. I for one have no reason not to belive him.

The question wouldn't be believing that he saw it there, the question would be whether someone else did a buy/return and he came across it. Sounds like US packaging is normal enough, but as cky_ibm (http://www.cybertron.ca/boards/member.php?u=3418) outlines above, the circumstances seem a little weird.

[Cheers Ian]

^^Yep, things just don't add up.

The figure is there, but it's just too weird that there's only one single figure from a new wave and the package looks like it's been through the ringer. How would a freshly unpacked toy get that beat up in such a short period.

Cheers!

[Goaliebot]

I would be very sad if this was indeed a giant cosmic misdirection in the form of a US return. All I can do is report that I saw him there for sale, took a pic, and reported back. :(

[Mighty_Galvatron]

I looked at where the instructions are kept for that Sideswipe figure and I swear that there was some sort of "NEST" sticker that comes in the box.:confused:

[Star 56]

i hope this is not a us return becuase i am looking forward to lockdown and ratchet

[Paradigm-Shift Prime]

I think at this point it's probably safe to say these aren't out at CDN retail yet.

[Prowl_2009]

Was thinking the same thing, something tells me this was a US return, I mean it's one toy from a new wave and it looks like it had the crap beaten out of it.

This is too bad, if this is the case, because I finally got the previous wave here in the Newmarket area, and was really looking forward to starting the hunt for Brawn and Lockdown! :rolleyes:

Ah well, good things come to those who wait, or so they say.

[Goaliebot]

Once again I am the butt of a cosmic joke. A US return from a wave we're expecting any day now, over two hours from the border.

I am a sad panda. :(

[Paradigm-Shift Prime]

Don't feel bad Goaliebot, it's not your fault. Sometimes the TF Gods sometimes just like playing around with us a bit.

The wave should likely be out fairly soon anyways.

[GMfan]

They should be everywhere soon, comic shops in TO have this wave too. I'm a little surprised they aren't out yet...

Bah well, ace reporting there Gord!

[Prowl_2009]

Was thinking the same thing myself, they should've been out by now. :rolleyes:

And no worries, Goaliebot, my experience collecting Transformers over the years here in Canada has shown me it's all in the hands of the Primes and we just need to smile and wait for the figures to show up here whenever they do. :p

[Mighty_Galvatron]

They should be everywhere soon, comic shops in TO have this wave too. I'm a little surprised they aren't out yet...

HA Barricade too!!

[Prowl_2009]

^^ Oh yeah! Dying to get my hands on him! :D

[Robimus]

These are now out in MB at Walmart. USA packaging.

[ang3l3s]

only seen dirge and bb so far at wal mart

[Prowl_2009]

Haven't seen Wave 8 pieces yet, heck my area is suffering from a shortage of Deluxe Armorhide as it is, my brother has seen the only one in our area and it is now in my TF collection! ;)

Can't wait for Lockdown and Brawn though. :D

[jacobot]

Finally eh

[TMIIWonkoNemises]

Sweet,now I have to find Lockdown...course the Bradford Wal-Mart is a little slow on their stocks:rolleyes:

[Prowl_2009]

Sweet,now I have to find Lockdown...course the Bradford Wal-Mart is a little slow on their stocks:rolleyes:

LOL, slow is an understatment, they just got the Dirge wave like this week. :rolleyes:

[TMIIWonkoNemises]
