And this is quite a surprise for the Transformers Collaborative line. NTWRK Instagram have just share images of their exclusive Transformers Collaborative: J.Balvin x Transformers J. Balvintron figure.
This figure is a peculiar redeco of the G1 Soundwave mold in colors inspired by the style of Colombian singer J. Balvin. It comes with special redecos of the G1 Ravage and Laserbeak molds as Vibras Stripes and Energia Buzzaw respectively. A nice Latin touch! The figures comes in a special box and includes 2 big blast effects and a Jetfire’s rifle redeco. The NTWRK Instagram post also confirms this is the “Project Jam” product name that was discovered some time ago.
This figure will be available only via the on the NTWRK app on Friday, July 2, at 7PM ET / 4PM Pacific time.
Update: Strangely, the post and all info about this item was taken down from NTWRK Instagram.
Update: The official reveal confirmed that this figure will be available exclusively via the NTWRK platform as a limited edition starting from July 13 at 12 pm ET/9 am PT. It will retail for $69.99.

$60 too much for me. EASY pass. Bleaugh.

I wonder if they either 1) got more from the international allotment 2) released held stock for damages 3) are repackaging returned damages to try & keep selling them?
I would imagine they can't do a return to Hasbro due to the custom nature of the production.

It's back up if you still have said credit & it's lower priced.

Still a hard pass

Damn that sucks to hear

Yeah, thanks. I contacted them and they said my order got messed up somehow and it was no longer available. Cancelled it and refunded me and gave me some credit on the app I'll never use again. At least I got refunded.

Do not know if this is a bad sign – it's no longer listed upon their shop for sale. You may wish to contact them.
mcart
Agreed, you should definitely contact them, mine arrived a while ago.

That seems like a problem
Crow
Are these still shipping? I ordered one back in July and still have not received it.
mcart
Just opened mine today and all is good but reassuring to hear I would have been covered!

UPD: Received the replacement – perfect shape. My experience with returns went well.

This is my favorite release of the year. Perfect Transformers experience.

Upd: They received, evaluated & have shipped a replacement to me. I expect it Wed. Do not know other's experiences but, other than time delay, this has been pretty painless.

Hey folks, new vid up if you fancy it.
G1 Cassette Hunter
Update: will be delivered tomorrow at their warehouse. There is a "quality check" to verify what was returned & then the replacement options should be presented.

Aside from crooked stickers which I easily readjusted, mine seemed fine, and I'm normally pretty picky.

G1 Soundwave has been reissued so many times. So his mold must be deteriorating.
Last year, I bought Walmart reissue of Soundwave and noticed some qc issues. After several month, I got Takara's reissue of Soundwave which was manufactured earlier than Walmart reissue. Earlier reissue definitely has better quality than recent version.

Got mine. Cracked it open to look at it. I have regrets. Oh well.
