Even if it was, you'd be paying 1/3 of the price of GO Ratchet for more stuff.
Sunbow Prime
Even if it is, it's better than the current situation.

IMHO, now even if this new SS86 Voyager Class Ironhide turned out to be a retooled/repackaged with additional accessories version of the Autobot Alliance's piece (just like that SS86 Leader Class Coronation Starscream), you'll likely be able to get these at SRP/minimal markup, eliminating the need to fork out crazy $$$ for them on the secondary market.
Another scenario:
Even if you do not like the looks of the new SS86 Ironhide & Ratchet when they debuts, you can always then start looking for these older molds as I'm pretty sure there will be many others whom would throw out these by then…
And with more people starting to offload these after they have replaced them with the newer ones, I assume you don't have to pay insane $$$ to get them by then? (Definitely not the hundreds of dollars which these are going for currently).
So…What have you gotta lose right?

Can we be sure that SS86 Ironhide just isn't a repack of Earthrise Ironhide with some new accessories? And that SS86 Ratchet will be the same?
Sness
Yeah at this point I would highly recommend against buying this set. We are 100% getting a new Ratchet that will likely be better than the one included for a third of the price and even if Lifeline is a fairly obscure character Arcee isn't and we'll likely see a new Arcee in the next few years, leading to a new Lifeline.
Automorpher
At this point, I'm waiting out for the new SS86 Voyager Class Ironhide & Ratchet to hit before deciding if I would wanna pursue this set further.

@Fc203 : 192$ a bargain???
Warpshard
Now that's a deal if I ever saw one! A proper bargain for the set.

I'm holding out on the Medics for a while, unless somehow we see a retro-line situation. I doubt it'll happen so I'll say in the Legacy thread.
Magna Prime
@Jtprime17 would you advise holding action based on some of the rumblings you mentioned earlier?

Sorry to bump this but i was looking at some figures on amazon mexico and saw they had the paradron medics
View attachment 29388678
I noticed it was an import so i clicked and then i saw that the american amazon store was selling it and shipping it
View attachment 29388679
I haven't ordered much on amazon mexico but i dont think its a 3rd party seller selling it and American amazon store being the middle man because i remember looking at something a few months ago that was on the American store and Mexican amazon, the thing was sold buy a 3rd party seller but shipped from amazon on both store except mexico had an import fee. Makes me wonder if the American store is getting some i heard some rumors on a reissue but not sure if theyre coming from amazon.

I have the two pack Shattered glass ER Optimus Prime and Ratchet I would trade for this set if anyone were interested.

Ah gotcha, my bad then i thought you meant buying the whole pack on ebay but hope you get a good deal on lifeline!
Satomiblood
I don’t want to tie up money buying the 2-pack, so that most likely won’t happen. I see listings for Lifeline on eBay, which is the one I’m after, but wanted to see if I could score one from someone here since I’m sure a healthy number of people bought it just for Ratchet.
Nickster563
He's saying if you bite the bullet and get the whole pack he'll take the ratchet if you don't want it
Satomiblood
I’m actually looking for Lifeline, not Ratchet.

if you decide to sell Ratchet- send me a PM. Amazon cancelled my preorder when released.
Satomiblood
Shot in the dark here before I pull the trigger on eBay, but is there anyone that doesn’t care for Lifeline that’s up to selling theirs? It’s the only one from the 2-pack that I actually want.
Sunbow Prime
Yes it's eBay.
Automorpher
Hoping that comes through & thanks for taking the bullet.
I'm assuming it's eBay?
Because I don't see anything lower on Amazon as those cheaper options are long gone already.
Seems like the Sellers were keeping themselves updated on the news/movements of these & the minute when the leaked list confirms that new Deluxe/Voyager Class Ironhide & Ratchet isn't happening (as yet), the prices for these went up again. (I'm talking about Amazon here.)
