I‘ve been calling lots of gamestops and getting mixed info about war Dawn and very little info about any other exclusives.
TF Hot Rod
Good to know.
Lazerwave
I heard jt said that the war dawn is the only fan fest exclusive.
TF Hot Rod
I definitely think it’s the Volo Prime mold yeah.
GokaigerSamurai7
Yep. It's currently speculated that FF2 is the Volvo Prime mold
TF Hot Rod
Fan Fest 2 is that special Prime listing right?
GokaigerSamurai7
So apparently the Fan Fest Exclusive 1 is a War Dawn two-pack of Ariel and Dion, both retools of Prime Universe Arcee and SS86 Kup respectively.
GokaigerSamurai7
Same. 3H comics for the win!!
Lazerwave
With Transformers getting Exclusive (Not sure if they are sold there or if they are going to be preorders) I still wonder about Exclusives for like Marvel, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc.
Vector Oracle
This is the one I want the most, along with a 2-pack of Tap-Out and Glyph.

So the Volvo prime is a purchase for me if it happens and so would the Armada Starscream redeco or the Lockdown pack.
Hopefully we hear some more dates for April soon.

The second Exclusive is an Optimus Prime figure, speculated to be the Volvo mold in G1 colours.
The first one is unknown.
Possible guesses include a Fractyl & Packrat two-pack, an Armada Starscream in Powerlinx/Thundercracker colours or a retool of Axlegrease as Lockdown with an accessory pack included.
Nothing is confirmed, all these are just speculation and guesses.
Lazerwave
Not only that. But the reason for this thread. Last Fan Fest we didn't have exclusives. Now that there is a listing for one, it's a matter of what this Exclusive is and if there will be others for the other toylines.
TF Hot Rod
By April I think wave 3 will get revealed.
Lazerwave
I know. Just that we are dued to have them revealed soon.
But for me, it's not so much the next wave of Legacy I'm looking at.
TF Hot Rod
Wave 3 will be revealed soon for sure, also Armada Prime will be out before August.
Lazerwave
Nothing too major.
We all know wave 3 is mentioned to be at a future event. I know wave 2 is starting to hit stores, so we may be due for reveal. JT mentioned that Armada Optimus is set for an August release.
What I heard recently from another toyline was estimated release dates for those waves, which are around Summer. One wave I'm really eyeing is set to be in store around August. So We may be due for a reveal event soon.
jmagnus83
Well what did you hear? We all be desperate for scraps!
Lazerwave
I know. Just that I came across evidence that there are going to be some announcements for new reveals soon. And what better way to reveal all that stuff…
Huh? HUH!?!
Thundershot
Not sure if you realize it, but you mention that almost every day in one thread or another.
It’ll come when it comes. No need to stress over it.
Also… Pointblank is an Autobot Targetmaster. He should absolutely come with his Targetmaster.
