It does not look like there are any new decos for this pack, rather re-releases of previous waves. There is also a suggestion given the item number that this may be intended for a Europe release. Hopefully we’ll see more information surface soon for those interested in this set.

Just letting you know that you're not alone!

Why would you want a rare recolor? I appreciate that there isn't a recolor, that way completionist don't have to end up with 14 duplicates.

Ayup, that's European packaging.
Guess what… it's "Decepticon Forth" again.
COME ON.

I'd like to point out there appear to be some minor changes to some of the figures' decos:
Anvil uses the plastic colors from the wave 2 Battle Pack with Sideswipe but the paint layout from the wave 2 Mini-Con 4-pack redeco.
Swelter has additional yellow details on the arms that aren't present on the original version.
Bashbreaker has additional gray paint operations on his forearms not present on any other release of the sculpt.
Hammer replaces the original wave 3 single pack version's black parts with blue.
This is about on par with the Beast Hunters Voyager Optimus Prime/Predaking two-pack that was also mostly exclusive to Europe (specifically, European Toys"R"Us stores), though it was apparently also released in Latin America. That two-pack also features some very minor alterations to the original figures' decos, with Predaking's painted versus unpainted heads and unpainted versus painted wings being the most prominent example.

Seems like Hasbro is spamming these. So many mini-cons! Must be cheap to make and relatively popular? I just don't see many people express interest here, so I've gotta believe it's cheaper than it is popular… which works for Hasbro, I guess.
It's hard not to see these as low-price-point items, even with the mega pack. And for that matter, isn't it a little odd/lazy for Hasbro not to throw in a rare re-color? Where's the appeal in this expensive set?

You could get that one from the UK:

I work eight hour shifts with no internet access for private purposes during that time for a major online retailer. I just happen to be online at some convenient times.
Also be aware that I'm in a different time zone, so when I found this thread I had just come home from a late shift.
BB Shockwave
Well, as nice as this is, I have all of Wave 1-2 already, and want the show-accurate Hammer, ANvil and Undertone. Any news when that set is released here?
SouthtownKid
I don't know if I am ever going to see a thread title like this and not immediately first think we're getting something new related to RID 2001.
And then feel disappointed.
It's ridiculous that this is still happening to me after the new show has been around so long.
T-Logicon
He's in Germany dude. It's not 130 am over there. Transformers Wiki – TFWiki.net
If this set is released in the US, and I've got paper in my pocket, I'm buying it.
Love tiny tfs.
Lovecraft
Missed opportunity to release all of the on-screen Minicons in accurate decos.

ill pass this Bakugan toys. Pokemon Go is in.

Do you sleep? Seems like you are always on top of any news…and if you aren't a robot, I'd like to know what you do for a living that allows you to constantly be in "the know"

This is a pretty neat idea, for anyone who wants to get a set of Mini-cons.
Robogeek28
