I can’t find the studio series guys on Amazon, has anyone found them?
SoundwaveSuperior
Hasbro isn't doing pre-orders on Core class anymore (started with Kingdom Wave 3). They just pop up in stock at some point.
WhiteMocha
Looking forward to Kickback. And I think this time I’ll just get one of each Insecticon. I lightly troop-built the CW/POTP versions (like 3-4 of each) and weirdly it wasn’t super satisfying, haha. I think I prefer Insecticons just as a trio, not a troop.
Requiem Prime
Did Hasbro's Spike never get preorders?
Fallout
legacy is doing to TFP designs what CHUG did to G1 until Siege, which means in 2034ish we'll have hyper accurate prime figures that the entire vocal minority hates lol
Pixelmaster
Yeah, Legacy just looks like a mess of half baked ideas or just downright bad ideas cobbled together with no coherence or thought put into it
jamarmiller
surprised amazon japan only has kickback up
Tarkus 2
Legacy: Kick back still looks good (DEFINITELY the highlight of Wave 1 for me)
Arcee still lookin jank but….ehhh she’s slightly OK…emphases on “slightly”
Studio Series BB/86: Yeah Arcee finna make me ditch that KER version. BB Ironhide I don’t know. Might need to mess with Ratchet to make a decision.
Houndini
Honestly, other than Studio Series/86, I haven't really been excited for anything since Legacy was unveiled. Then again, things have been pretty stale for the last little while, hopefully we will soon get a look at Legacy wave 2 or maybe the Velocitron and/or Wreckers sublines…
SPLIT LIP
For these figs specifically? No, as the BB Cybertron guys are just about the only part of TFs right now besides the BW reissues that have a pulse to me.
Sludge though does excite me, as my personal favourite Dinobot, and because I've already got the first two and these seem to finally be the Dinobots I've waited for.
But Legacy? Not grabbing me.

I needs me a Shothole repaint something fierce.View attachment 29425493
AtomicGarden
Yes and no. The figures I want still look nice to me but they’re coming in like a million years since they were revealed. So I guess still looking forward, but less excited ?

kickback is up on amazon japan sold by amazon japan but the studio series stuff is still not up. unless I am looking in the wrong place
AnnoyedRobot
Arcee definitely looks like a preemptive use of a mold meant for either G2 Road Rocket or Robots in Disguise 2001 Sideways (or even Armada Sideways given that these aren't supposed to be 100% identical in design to their original figures.)

Waiting for Spike/Daniel pre-order in Canada's Amazon.ca / GameStop.ca to go up, otherwise I'm all in & preorderd all the upcoming SS figures. Only preordered Dragstrip & Skids in the Legacy line so far. The old TFP ones are far better engineered and looking than these Legacy versions, even though I get the G1-ify design philosophy Hasbro's going for. When Hasbro redeco these into characters that I don't have a representation yet, I may bite.
See Hasbro, Legacy Dragstrip is better than the CW version in every way, so it's worth a purchase for me. If you come up with figures that are simpler, "uglier" than the original? I'm not interested.
Chareos
Except for Sludge, yes. Hopefully, Velocitron and Wreckers sublines will bring back some excitement for me.
Skyquake21
Im excited for Kickback. Im still waiting on the much later stuff like the Leader Legacy Blitzwing and the Armada Starscream they listed months ago.
