More preorders this evening. This time site sponsor, Bigbadtoystore, has updated with preorders for Combiner Wars Voyager Wave 2 for 2016. This wave contains voyager Onslaught, and the brand new figure of Sky Lynx!
Lock in your preorders below!
Sky Lynx – BBTS , TFSource, Captured Prey
Onslaught – BBTS, TFSource, Captured Prey
Onslaught & Sky Lynx Set – BBTS, TFSource, Robot Kingdom
Electro Rush
Preordered the set since I still don't have that Onslaught( which I'll probably sell anyway).
Skylynx is the perfect size for my legends display.
Blot
Ahh, interesting! I've got the wave 2 pair on preorder–so I still have a small glimmer of hope for Brownslaught!
T-Hybrid
The solo Onslaught is listed as 2016 Wave 01. That's the silver variant.
Lumpy
Placed my order from The Chosen Prime. If Onslaught is the same color as the one I have, I'll either keep him sealed, open him up and build a second Bruticus or hang on to him for Toys for Tots later this year. Can't wait to get Sky Lynx though!!!

Very true man. I can only speak for myself, but I don't have the time to camp out at stores like I could have maybe back in my school days. Time and security are all important.
I also haven't had the best luck finding stuff at retail. I don't think I've ever seen CW Ultra Magnus on the shelves. I know that BBTS takes advantage of the notion that some folks highly value time and security by charging a markup, but it is often worth it. I think the Skylynx looks good and I know my little ones are looking forward to getting it.

I prefer to pick up the TT UW Bruticus set, and missed the $35 solo Sky Lynx online pre-orders, so I'll be looking for a solo Sky Lynx at regular price, likely in the wild at this point. At least I work really close to a TRU and can easily stop in there any day I want.
Blot
How do you what the BBTS pre-order is for? Just the pictures?
But yeah, I'm not holding out hope on the brown/olive one.

HTS stinks
There website stinks since the change. I kept putting in Combiner Wars waiting for the Combaticons….and nothing. I see your post and I look again. No Combiner Wars or Combaticons…So I'm looking today and trying another way….they show up under "Generations". Ugh. I found them for cheaper in store anyway, but kept looking and waiting for a coupon code from HTS.
your right, you never know when they get things/partial sets, none at all etc. got old pretty quick after their Website changed.
YoungPrime
Gotcha.
Well if there is then hopefully there will be some distinction in the labeling of the 2 Onslaught's to avoid any confusion.
T-Hybrid
BBTS has pre-orders for the silver chest plate. And honestly we don't even know if the olive-chest variant is even still happening.
YoungPrime
Yeah, I'm really not liking that brown chest plate for Bruticus either and since there seems to be no way to prevent getting one instead of the silver version online I'll just have to tough it out with retail which won't likely be until mid February if past history is any indication.
T-Hybrid
The only concern I have with HTS is there's no warning. Stuff just "appears" on their listings.
And, like now, there's three of the four Combaticon limbs. And we're not sure when Onslaught or Sky Lynx will drop.
YoungPrime
I guess it's a matter of location then. In the Philly area HTS has usually beaten retail. But that hasn't been the case CW's at all last year.

I've never seen HTS have the waves as soon as retail does. It's always a week or a few weeks after initial sightings in store.
I always find the figures I want there, even if I don't buy there. Sometimes they get sold out the first stock shipment, but then they restock. Never saw them as unreliable.

Nobody mentions Entertainment Earth here… I've bought most of CW thru them…
Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Voyager Wave 6 – Hasbro – Transformers – Transformers at Entertainment Earth
Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Deluxe Wave 6 Set – Hasbro – Transformers – Transformers at Entertainment Earth
Yes, you have to get the entire waves, but that's been perfect for CW, where you pretty much HAVE to buy all of the Deluxes and Voyagers. $49.99 for both SL and Onslaught means they are each $24.99!! Their shipping is a bit much, but they don't charge tax, so it evens out pretty well.
prowl66
Ya I found that out, just with this last wave. I don't really hunt anymore unless it's convenient (I'm at the store for something). It got old with using gas, time and NO toys. Cheaper prices online anyway(coupon codes etc). But I did come across the Combaticons early (Surprised), other than Onslaught of course, at a Walmart. So this "dual pack" works for me at this time. I'll still plan on waiting for the most part.
So is this new Onslaught going to be a different color scheme? I really don't want that Brown armor I've seen or heard people talking about. I still plan on getting the Takara version just cause combaticons are my favorite but am a Fan of Hasbros toys period….nice and cheaper.
battery1979
Well, considering at Christmas, the Wal-Mart in my area finally got in a couple boxes of either Silvebolt and Motormaster/Optimus Prime, yeah I'm not waiting on this distribution. There's very little chance of finding these at retail in my area cause distribution in this area sucks.
AutobotAlvaron
BBTS has my pre-order, but I may double-dip when Takara makes theirs. I'm hoping for chrome-gold on the lynx head and shuttle windows, and denser, metallic plastic. If Takara only includes Sky Lynx in a Sky-Reign box-set with the second group of Autobot-cars, price will be an issue though. If the Takara Autobots look well-painted, it won't be too difficult to choose…
YoungPrime
HTS has kinda fallen off for me lately. CW's have hit retail way before HTS get them (Take CW Wave 5 deluxes for example). And if there's no promo code or free shipping then there's no real point.
They're no longer a reliable source for me so much as they are a shot in the dark.
BScorpinok75
Last wave before Titans Return and I don't get to get out to physically hunt anymore…so I think I'll just play it safe and get in on the slightly overpriced pre-order…not to mention I will be getting UW Bruticus/Combaticons so no need for another Onslaught…
