Sorry to burst your bubble, but it obviously is. Just check the art, everything is in the same position.

Optimus's head folds down a lot more, revealing a convenient hole for that gun to sit in.

The molds look interesting but will probably wait to grab the rest.

Judging by their articulation, and by the size of the minicon guys, I'm thinking these guys are going to be as big as Cyberverse Commanders.
I'll buy them. Maybe this is a test of a possible new line? Imagine a whole line of Classics-verse figures, all with minicons, Targetmasters, whatever, for about $10 each!

Also, I'd be ALL OVER a Hot Shot/ jolt repaint if it had a new head. Loves me some UT characters.

I think they mean to say it's the 3rd wave of this year's Generations line, not the 3rd wave of Generations Legends. ??? I'm not sure.

Most retailers don't reset the wave count after sub-line imprints, which the 30th Anniversary is for this iteration of Generations. So the first wave of the 30th Anniversary is the third in total. In list form:
Wave 1 (Series 1 Wave 1):
- Rumble & Ravage
- Ratbat & Frenzy
Wave 2 (Series 1 Wave 2):
- Eject & Ramhorn
- Rewind & Sunder
Wave 3 (Series 2 Wave 1):
- Optimus Prime & Roller
- Bumblebee & Blazemaster

If you do however see these figures where you shop, let everybody know about it with our Transformers Sightings pages. You can help get the word out for Optimus Prime here or Bumblebee here. You could also report your new sighting in our Toy Sightings Forum. It couldn't be easier.

The trick with Amazon is having Amazon Prime. Free 2 day shipping makes these $11.99 a piece shipped. Not bad!
Posted by Doc bot on April 30th, 2013 @ 11:12pm CDT
I wouldn't worry about the price gouging going on with Springer and Blitzwing. The way we're getting carpet bombed with them here in Michigan, I'm sure they'll be seeing mass release. (We're never that lucky here in the Wolverine state.)

I tell ya, if you're willing to look and hustle there are some great deals out there. Ebates gives you cash back on Amazon now in the toy section, add in the cash back from pay pal and that covers the tax right there. I had a $5 Amazon gift card laying around from Swagbucks and I paid under $10 each.

Grant Bosse: Internet sales tax protects Amazon from the next Amazon
Some of those businesses are eager to face those higher costs. Online giant Amazon.com is pushing for the internet sales tax. It can track state and local tax codes and automatically charge the current tax rate based on the delivery ZIP code. But smaller companies looking to challenge Amazon’s hegemony would have a hard time complying. Higher taxes and complicated bureaucracy isn’t a threat to Amazon, but it might keep the next threat to Amazon from starting up.
At National Review, Kevin Williamson writes about the distinction between being for big business and being for free enterprise. Big business loves big government. It’s smaller, nimbler businesses they fear. Forcing a cumbersome sales tax bureaucracy on their would-be rivals puts them at a huge competitive advantage.

I know in Pennsylvania at least, before amazon started to, you were supposed to keep track of your own online transactions and pay the appropriate taxes. So I still don't see how amazon can be blamed for anything.
Posted by GuyIncognito on May 1st, 2013 @ 3:23pm CDT
You're blaming Amazon for not letting you get away with avoiding sales tax, and then saying you'd rather go to a store and pay the sales tax you're upset about Amazon charging.

GuyIncognito wrote:Alex, you do realize that they only plan to charge you the same sales tax you would pay at retail in your state (and which you are legally required to pay)? So how is it better to "wait until retail"? It'll take longer, you'll pay the same price, and you run the risk of not being able to find what you want. Or you can order now, pay the same price, and not worry about finding it later. It sounds like you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.

I don't know anyone that wants to pay additional (sales tax) on top of a purchase plus shipping. I am just being a resourceful consumer and looking at better options than Amazon for my purchases, like eBay where private sellers can sell me an item at less than what Amazon is offering. My main draw for going to Amazon in the past was no tax and sometimes free shipping. With that gone I am looking at other options to save money even if takes me longer to get a certain item. Currently, my purchase for TF come from eBay where I can get really great deals, and for the time being no tax.

Millions of people do it every day. We pay for the convenience and the certainty of getting what we want without having to use our time and gas driving to stores.
Plus, I never pay shipping at Amazon.
It sounds to me like you're acting emotionally, not rationally.

Everybody pays taxes, it's how the world works. I'm not saying the government should be making unreasonable tax laws, but it's important that governmental structures have the money to run. As for the case at hand, it was really just a matter of time (see: politics catching up to how the world works takes a LONG time). Having to pay sales tax is normal for everything, it just took them awhile to catch up with the internet, I suppose.

That's a question not easily answered. Let's leave aside anyone else and just focus on ourselves as individuals. Don't you think it's a good idea to be as good a citizen as you can?

I think those of you debating about paying taxes are missing the point. It's not really about paying taxes or not paying taxes, it's just about getting the best deal for you personally. I'm an Amazon Prime subscriber so I get free shipping. Getting these now means I don't have to hunt for them or pay additional shipping through other online retailers so $16.99 isn't that bad. For those of you who are looking for a cheaper price that's fine also.

I appreciate the question. I am good citizen (or good human being) because I don't force or initiate force on other individuals (nor do I advocate) against their rights (right to life and right to their property). That to me is a good idea/framework for life in this world.
