It is always unsure which retailers will be getting exclusives outside the US since not all countries have the same retailers, more than ever now with even Toysrus no longer being a centralized coorporation. Entertainment Earth is the exclusive retailer for both Studio Series 36 Drift and Baby Dinobots Studio Series 15 Bumblebee with Charlie, aka Rebakah's Garage, in the US, but now we know more about who will get these toys outside.
Kapow Toys in the UK currently has Drift on preorder for £27.97.
As for Rebekah's Garage, this release was recently spotted at Toysrus in Canada, meaning this is the exclusive retailer for that set in that country. The price take there is $40 CAD.
We are still unaware of who will get Drift in Canada or that Bumblebee set in the UK but at least we know these exclusives are being found outside the US.

The Entertainer in UK still has a sale on many Studio Series figures.
Of note here are Jazz and Lockdown are listed as available at £16.80 each which is a great price for people still trying to track these two down.
Yes there are Wave 3 figures being listed there with the sale prices too but are listed as 'out of stock' I'd be very surprised if they'd had even had those in stock during this aale and also if this price applies when they are in stock. Cos it seems silly to have new product instantly price reduced... although I did find it odd that my nearest Entertainer had that sale on as soon as they'd stocked their shelves with wave 1 and the sale is still going so who knows?

Has anyone seen the engine under SS Ratchet's chest? In bot mode, it's behind the movable bumper part. Looks like a top view of a modern V8 engine. Cool.

Gonna sell it... still hope to get my money back or at least a partial refund for just how misleading and slow the delivery was. Have to wait til my eBay dispute I opened last friday is closed. Can't sell it for full amount I paid obviously cos I ordered it before it was properly released and so I paid more but will see what happens.

I've had SS VW Bee for a little while now, and I think he's really good! It's kinda finicky getting him into vehicle mode, but after a couple transformations it's not so bad. I don't think it dethrones SS Camaro Bee as my favorite deluxe Bumblebee, but I'm liking it even more than I thought I would!
I hope Studio Series continues for a long time, It's easily my favorite Transformers line ever

I agree with much of this. Studio has certainly been my fave TF line and the one I've bought most figures brand new from any TF line since G1.

Um. So. Ebay refunded my full amount because like me, they got no response from the seller at all. Which means I got the very late toy, and the money i originally paid for it. So I got a freebie (free-Bee)? I dunno how I feel about that. I just wanted my money back and the seller did do a lot of things wrong but I didn't want them out of pocket. I just wanted it to be like the sale never happened. Now I ended up with both and so if I sell the originally ordered Bee I would then have profited which makes me feel kinda bad I guess. I dunno.

This sort of happened with me and Cogman last year. He arrived 3 weeks after he was supposed to from a Chinese seller, but that seller said he would come and to be patient and he arrived.
I've learned with those Chinese sellers, time is extremely inconsistent. I got that MPM Barricade (which ended up being a KO and wasn't advertised as such) in about a week and a half, but Cogman took almost 2 full months.
So what will you do with the leftover Bee?

Did you get refund on Barricade? Were you able to prove to eBay it was a KO? I seem to remember reading something about this a while back if that was you.
Probably resell, I guess. I haven't any need for a duplicate one as it's a very specific mold I can't really repaint into any necessary characters (no, not a fanon Cliffjumper) and I'm pretty happy with the one I already have.

I got a mostly refund on him, took me several days to find out he was a KO (and I had tossed the insert for the box by then) and then almost 2 weeks to get the seller to do a partial refund. Still PO-ed about how that all went down
Depending where you want to go with him, I would be interested!

Scored a new cuddly angry Bee!
But I'm disappointed in him so far. Transformed him twice, and the alt mode just will not tab together. And he already has stress marks in the clear plastic hinge where the hood and windshield connection are. I'm really concerned there are lots of Bees that are going to break, especially with how fiddly the alt mode is.
That roof piece is so close to not needing that stress either, but at the last moment, it needs a bit too much wiggling and push needed that I'm comfortable with. I love the sculpt, and the bot mode is really awesome, but that transformation is proving to be a nightmare that won't let you see the alt mode properly!

Yea I agree it's a disappointing figure. Was surprised to see a few people here loving it, but the transformation is a nightmare. The only reason I don't hate it is because I was able to get it in alt mode, which I like, and just leave it as is.

am starting to wonder if there's a QC issue. Cos mine (the one I'e had opened and transformed many times for the past few weeks) is fine and was only tricky the first time turning into car.
My only real complaint is that I wish the face-mask thing had been done as a whole seperate head since I find the head much easier to remove than the mask. The very first time I tried it I had to basically remove the head then prise the face away from it with tweezers cos it was stuck firmly on there. The whole head comes off far easier than the face plate.

Don’t know if it’s been posted yet, but I noticed that HTS has listed SS21 Starscream on their store. He isn’t in stock yet, but it says “coming soon.” No date is given. But for anyone else who’s really looking forward to getting him, they can keep an eye on it.

Posting this here and now before anyone else does thinking it's real.
There's an image out there now of a Studio Series packaging box for Movie 1 Bonecrusher, but it's a fake. The artwork used is lifted directly from Forged to Fight, whose art none of the official Studio Series toys have used for any other character.
Here's the fake image:

Was in the Entertainer today. They still have big reductions on Studio Series, Bumblebee movie and Cyberverse figures.
Also this curiousness. Lockdown has appeared on shelf for the nice reduced Deluxe price... but also his previously Asda-exclusive (in the UK) former mold-mate Hot Rod has appeared too.
I got little Legion class VW Bee for £5.25 (usual price £7) to take with me to places.

From what I've seen it seems that dropkick was blue light, and there seemed to be listings of blue light 1 & 2, as well as red lightning 1 & 2. and along with them was a hornet 2 listing, which seems to be blitzwing, so i would say its a safe bet to think its shatter.

I'm hoping that is a Shatter, and maybe she'll be revealed soon

Yeah, plus if the the blue one is Blue Light then it makes sense for the red one to be Red Lightning. Hornet for Blitzwing works since the F/A-18 Hornet was a jet introduced in '84, not that he turns into one or anything.

The case contents for Studio Series wave 3 deluxes has been revering sheling us what is in store for our neighbouring shelves. Firstly, no one will have trouble finding Dropkick who is packed three per case of eight. As for KSI Sentry, he is shortpacked with only being there once per case, but this is a redeco of a character that never appeared onscreen so it is probable that Hasbro anticipates a lower demand. DOTM Ratchet, Jazz and VW Bumblebee are rereleased for those who could not find them yet, and to ensure that the titular character will be found on shelves when the Bumblebee movie is out.
This info comes to us from Robot Kingdom which also reports the wave to start shipping on 1st November 2018. The wave 4 voyagers come out at the same time and they are evenly packed between ROTF Megaron and Starscream.

DELUXE JAZZ x1
DELUXE BUMBLEBEE x2
DELUXE RATCHET x1
DELUXE DROPKICK x3
DELUXE KSI SENTRY x1

Is KSI Sentry gonna be hard to find then? Cos I love the Stinger figure and really like the blue of the Sentry. Also why does this mold seem to have the shoulderpads transformed differently in each picture I see? A lot of them have them unfolded and pointing up, some have them pointing up but using the joints to push them down and back a bit and I've been having them folded over the front of the shoulders and angled slightly inwards. I'm confused as to what the official one is so just went with the one that looked best to me. Sometimes the torso and head area is transformed a bit weirdly too and photos of that put me off the figure at first til i saw better ones and got the figure myself and now I'm a big fan of it (though wish the wheels on the legs folded in). Sometimes see the black bit on the back where the star things attach often configured differently too.

Ugh, so much for easy army-building the KSI Sentry. I assumed he would have been packaged like Stinger and Crowbar.

Shortpacked toys can be easy to find if there is lack of interest. Moonracer has been quite easy to find in the POTP line.

Good news, one of my local Walmarts just got in Deluxe wave 4 (despite never getting waves 2 or 3) and a price drop came with it.
Maybe I'll pick up a couple of these at the lower price. Unfortunately these are the only Transformers that got a Rollback.

I thought the Bee movie stuff started with wave 4. I'm really just half paying attention to SS since they're rarely in stock anywhere here.

In the end, the planned B-Day gift for my friend, SS Brawl, I'll keep it for myself. He hate when transforming tanks don't have working threads but fake ones that separate when transforming.
So far, only Super Gobot Destroyer achieved such a feat. Armada Scavenger is not really a tank and CW Leader Megatron cheat by having 4 threads instead of 2. Unless I'm wrong and there's more?
I'll give him something else.
So, I kept Brawl. And know what? No regrets, he's a pretty swell guy! He look great, have kibbles to the bare minimum, and he transform like a charm without glancing once at the instructions. I did saw a video review before but still.
On another thing, I'm pretty pleased that Jazz is coming back, even shortpacked. This will give me a chance to finally use my raincheck on him.

That's pretty nice.
However, it's far from a "real" tank.
Armada Scavenger is the best one that nailed it so far. Even if the articulation would be limited, the same concept should be taken to make a realistic tank. The "threads limbs" could be the arms or the legs.
