Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen Recon Ravage TV Commercial

[MrOptimuspirme]

this figure is form the HFTD line, isn't it?

[smutoys]

@MrOptimuspirme: No, this was ROTF, the HTFD was legends class.

[MrOptimuspirme]

@smutoys what? i think on tfw2005.com it says it was from the HFTD line. oh well.

[smutoys]

@MrOptimuspirme: Sent you a message to a pic of Recon Ravage carded from tfu.info.

[MrOptimuspirme]

@smutoys thanks!

[smutoys]

@MrOptimuspirme: No prob!

[omotodraco]

you do know that depending in how you repaint a rotf ravage figure, you can have rotf cheetor or rotf tigatron, just paint him in cheetah or white tiger patterns, add a maximal logo, and you're set

[smutoys]

@omotodraco: Cool.

[allycliftonsucks]

you people realize that you did not HAVE to mail anything there was another way of getting it if you lived in Canada it was released in stores.

[smutoys]

@allycliftonsucks: Haha a) this was over a year ago, I don't think anyone cares about this anymore. And b) yeah, in Canada. I'm sure most people who actually collect TF knew about, but the majority of the viewers were Stateside and the news of it being available in stores in Canada didn't matter since it didn't apply to them.

[jazz92023]

how easy to get for me

[cenerchaos]

I got one!!!!!

[smutoys]

@cenerchaos: Cool!

[darthvenom30567]

lol i got the 2 pack but not the labeled one damn it

[Sonicfan1396]

sounds like a way to get the kid to buy that transformers 2-pack.

[smutoys]

@Sonicfan1396: Well it worked, haha!

[evang46]

haha yeah!..i got mines today...i actually gave up waiting thinking that i made an error on shipping cost...it took forever you know. but hey is this toy exclusive! if so then i might keep it in the box instead of giving it to my nephew

[smutoys]

@evang46: Hehehe hate to say it, 'cause the kiddos should be more important, but damn... Keep it! It's that cool!

[KiraYamato636]

@smutoys wow

[smutoys]

@ALCblackout24: Yeah, I was so impressed with the chrome parts. Overall I thought it was okay from the original pictures, but after having it up close, it's even cooler than I originally thought!

[ironyoshi1212]

I Finaly Got This On Saturday!

[smutoys]

@ironyoshi1212: Awesome, how do you like it! I was very pleased with mine, more than I thought I would be!

[dimeyoung74]

Ordered my recon ravage feb 15, just got this earlier this week finally! He is soo worth the wait tho, but do i open him? or leave him in his package?? arrgggg sooo conflicted??

[smutoys]

@dimeyoung74: Maaaan! I'm in the same boat! Totally conflicted! I'm actually liking it more than I thought I would. It was okay in the pics, but after having it in-hand, it's much cooler. The color scheme works so well, the red apps are great, and best of all the chrome parts! I rarely keep things sealed, but I'm really torn. Especially 'cause I want to review it...

[dimeyoung74]

@smutoys yeah i totally agree, he looked so-so in pics, but blows my mind now that i got him, be beats the crap outta the original ROTF ravage, the chrome just really makes this toy for me.

[smutoys]

@dimeyoung74: For sure, the original looks bland now in comparison. That chrome is just sooo nice. The red apps are nice too, feels more evil.

[Rexsar813]

Hey I ordered my Ravage April 21, when do you think he will come? It's driving me insane!

[smutoys]

@Rexsar813: Hard to say. I didn't get mine 'til two months later after I mailed out for it.

[Rexsar813]

@smutoys Thanks for answering at least!

[smutoys]

@Rexsar813: No problem. Just try not to think about it, it's gonna take a while. Hopefully not two months, but I'm sure at least 2-4 weeks. So to save yourself from insanity, just don't think about it and focus on other stuff for a while. ;)

Although I will be posting my preview and maybe review of my Recon Ravage soon, in case you may be interested.

[Rexsar813]

@smutoys I'll be sure to watch it! I'll try to keep myself from insanity! Thanks!

[smutoys]

@Rexsar813: Cool, I'm gonna be posting that later tonight. And it'll also kinda be a poll to decide whether or not I should open it. Thanks!

[Rexsar813]

@smutoys Your welcome!

[smutoys]

My Recon Ravage FINALLY arrived!!! Review coming soon!

[sunflower2362]

i cant find recon ravage in stores

[smutoys]

@sunflower2362: Recon Ravage isn't available in stores (except in Canada), it's a mail away exclusive.

[sunflower2362]

@smutoys didnt know that

[smutoys]

@sunflower2362: Yeah, the deadline was today. But, I'm sure there's some on eBay.

[poptropica24]

anyway the giveaway is a rip off!! :(

[smutoys]

@poptropica24: I wouldn't say it's a total rip off, just could have been handled better.

[poptropica24]

at least we get recon ravage which we have to wait for weeks.

[smutoys]

@poptropica24: Very true! All other regions don't have the opportunity to buy him like we do, and would have to get him on eBay or something.

[poptropica24]

well i already turned in my form at the end of march or something

[smutoys]

@poptropica24: Cool! I wonder when they will ship. 'Cause I sent my form out quite a while back now.

[poptropica24]

@smutoys i know right..anyway they say that their going to put a new ravage repaint in fall or summer!!!! its gray and its called sea attack ravage and its awsome!!

[smutoys]

@poptropica24: Oh cool, thanks for the heads up! Haven't heard of that new repaint yet, haven't been keeping up with TF news lately.

[poptropica24]

@smutoys dude canada is so lucky.they have recon ravage in their toys r us stores.

[smutoys]

@poptropica24: Yeah, I was kinda "WTF?!" about that. It's like why make it a mail away exclusive when it's released in stores just above the border? And way ahead of when we get ours in the mail. Might as well have just bought one on eBay from a seller in Canada.

[collecter12345]

oops i got the pack but its april,and its may when it runs out. Oh well ill get it off net

P.S awsome figures though!!!

[smutoys]

@collecter12345: You still have a few weeks to go, a couple of deluxes and you got all the stickers you need. Or check on the various Transformers forums if people are giving away extra stickers.

[dimeyoung74]

People in the US pretty much have to do the mail in thing i think, but its a retail item for canada

[smutoys]

@dimeyoung74: Yeah, it's funny how that worked out. There was all this commotion about how it was going to be available in the US only. And then next thing ya know it's available at retail in Canada, and months before we in the US actually will get ours in the mail.

[rickster1999]

wow i saw him at toys "R" us to buy u dont have to do all this crap

[smutoys]

@rickster1999: Cool, are you in Canada?

[dimeyoung74]

Woot, check cashed for real this time heh...

[smutoys]

@dimeyoung74: Awesome, that's great news!

[dimeyoung74]

damnit, nvm false alarm lol

[smutoys]

@dimeyoung74: Aw man!

[dimeyoung74]

Woot! Hasbro cashed my check today!, cmon recon ravage

[smutoys]

@dimeyoung74: Oh cool, that's good to know! I used a money order so I wouldn't know, but if yours was cashed that's good news for everyone that's sent away for one, thanks for sharing that info!

[9012Ironhide]

I just sent mine out 2 days ago,sucks that it takes 6-8 week though

[smutoys]

@9012Ironhide: Yeah, that's a long time to wait. But, oh well, just gotta try to forget about it and think of other things. Then when it arrives like two months later it'll be a nice surprise, hehe.

[Terryfan]

I have Ravage however I really really want to get Recon Ravage because he is a awesome/dangerous/bad ass looking Decepticon Cat

[smutoys]

@Terryfan: Yeah, he's pretty cool. Have you sent away for one?

[Terryfan]

Been low on the cash but I will get him. He will be mine oh yeah Recon Ravage will be mine All I need to do is buy the two pack battle and then two other figures and I'm good to go

[smutoys]

@Terryfan: You've still got two months, you'll definitely get one.

[Terryfan]

Time is the one thing I got. Still I really want to get one because he is a bad ass looking Decepticon

[smutoys]

@Terryfan: Definitely, I'm sure everyone that's sending away for one feels the same about him.

[Terryfan]

I agree while I like the Ravage that I got I want Recon Ravage as well. He is in my opinion one of the best toys from the movie lines

[smutoys]

@Terryfan: Definitely cool, and I haven't even gotten the original (was on hiatus from collecting for a couple years), so this'll really be a welcome addition to my collection.

[Terryfan]

Yeah and I don't think I'm going to take Recon Ravage out of the box

[smutoys]

@Terryfan: But, it's more fun to play with it than just look at it. ;)

[Terryfan]

Good point maybe I should get two you know one to display and one to keep in the box

[smutoys]

@Terryfan: That's the best way to go if you really want to keep it in the box, have one to save mint in box, and one to play with. But, that's extra to spend also. I'm fine with one to open and play with.

[Terryfan]

Yeah and maybe I'll just go with one but still I will enjoy having Recon Ravage in my collection one way or the other

[smutoys]

@Terryfan: Yup, me too, I'll make a review of him as soon as I get mine. I sent away for mine a couple weeks ago, I wonder when they'll start shipping out. Also want to use him in some stop motion videos.

[Terryfan]

That would be a great idea. I hope you get yours in soon I guess once they get all the forms they will shipped them because I'm sure he will be a hit

[smutoys]

@Terryfan: I'm pretty sure these'll be a hit, most fans seem pretty enthusiastic about him.

[Terryfan]

Yeah Ravage is a cool and a classic Decepticon he is a dangerous foe and ally to Soundwave

[smutoys]

@Terryfan: Yeah, ever since his original G1 incarnation, Ravage has always just been real cool and bad ass, same with Soundwave.

[Terryfan]

Soundwave has the best voice no questions asked no runner up. I wish I could talk like Soundwave for one day.

Still since the G1 Incarnation Ravage has been a clever cat and a great choice for Soundwave to send on a mission

[smutoys]

@Terryfan: Yeah, for sure, that's why both of them are very popular fan favorites. Soundwave's definitely one of my all time favorites.

[Terryfan]

@smutoys Soundwave is one of my favorites as well. Last Year I started a Transformers Hall Of Fame on youtube and Soundwave was one of the first to be inducted

[Terryfan]

Recon Ravage is awesome I need to get him!

[bknmcl]

no one has gotten any of them yet.

[dragonjohn7445]

recon ravge looks bad ass

[smutoys]

@dragonjohn7445: Yeah, pretty damn cool, can't wait to have one.

[dimeyoung74]

sweeeet, i really hope i get one

[smutoys]

@dimeyoung74: Have you gotten the form and collected the stickers? Or have you mailed away for one already?

[dimeyoung74]

@smutoys yeah, sent mine away 2 weeks ago

[smutoys]

@dimeyoung74: Cool, me too! I hope they don't wait 'til the end of the promo (April 30) to start mailing them out. :(

[dimeyoung74]

anyone actually receive a recon ravage yet?

[smutoys]

@dimeyoung74: I watch forums, and don't think anyone that mailed away for it has gotten it yet. Buuut, Recon Ravage has officially released at Toys R Us in Canada.

[0001Noah]

i hope i can get this for my birthday in april. but what was the date you had to send it in by?

[smutoys]

@0001Noah: I believe it was April 30.

[0001Noah]

my mom is going to get me this and Bludgeon and I hop to send it out. but what was the date? April 10 or 30?

[anguirusfan26]

one is coming to me!!!!!!! OMG!!!

[smutoys]

@anguirusfan26: Cool!

[gavinfuzzy]

this may sound retarded but use a photo copier. LOL i know....XD

[REGIFISHY]

Gah, If BOTH of my N.E.S.T. stickers hadn't been vacuumed up, all I would have to do is buy the 2 pack and stick 'em on. But now I have to get 2 deluxes again and then get it....

[smutoys]

@REGIFISHY: Oh wow, that's really unfortunate! Sorry to hear that.

Just to buy two more deluxe figures for stickers you'd be spending another $20+, in a way making your Recon Ravage that much more expensive.

Are you a member of any Transformers forums? Maybe you can post about it and see if anyone has any spare stickers they won't be using.

[sideswipecp88]

me too!!!!!!! im soo getting it and the rest i need

[smutoys]

@sideswipecp88: Cool, hope you get one. I just got my money order today for the $4.95 shipping and handling cost. Gonna mail it out with my completed order form tomorrow.

[ggeek101]

YESSSSS i just found the bumblebee nd soundwave at my toys r us

[smutoys]

@ggeek101: Niiiice!

[ggeek101]

this is sweet

[smutoys]

@ggeek101: I think Recon Ravage is pretty damn cool, I'm lookin' forward.

[hydranoid6]

i need to get that 2 pack otherwise i could have it

[smutoys]

@hydranoid6: Aside from getting it for the Recon Ravage form, it's a cool pack, worth getting. I could do without the Bumblebee repaint, but I really like the Soundwave repaint with flames. And the patch is cool.

[hydranoid6]

yeah i agree

[clownfyre]

gimme form!

[smutoys]

@clownfyre: ;p

[clownfyre]

ho dammmm i want one

[smutoys]

@clownfyre: Get one, you already got enough stickers.

[darkinfernoelvis]

i more sticker

[smutoys]

@darkinfernoelvis: Cool man! I've got all my stickers and have my order form ready. But, I'm so broke right now I can't even afford the $4.95 for shipping, haha!

[darkinfernoelvis]

@smutoys aw that sucks

[smutoys]

@darkinfernoelvis: Haha, yeah it's like what the hell, I'm all set to send away for my Recon Ravage! Haven't had work in a month. Even if I had the 5 bucks, I don't have gas in my truck to go get a money order and mail it off. Damn, I suck, haha!

[eagc7]

Why hasbro cant make this figure into a mass realease figure

[smutoys]

@eagc7: Well, making it a mail away promo makes it special. I personally probably wouldn't have been interested in it if it were a regular release. Just another repaint I don't need.

[eagc7]

ok, but ti still suck cuz i want thsi ravage but i dont lvie at USA

[smutoys]

@eagc7: Yeah, it does suck. But, I know what it's like. There's a lot of stuff I want from Japan and have to pay extra to get here.

When the Recon Ravages become available, I'm sure there will be plenty on eBay and they won't be so expensive, you can always get one there.

[eagc7]

true but i dotn knwo hwo to buy at ebay

[smutoys]

@eagc7: It's real easy. Ask your parents to help you out.

[eagc7]

my father aslo wants to buy o neby but dosent know how

[smutoys]

@eagc7: It's really easy. I'll personal message you and help you and your dad out on buying on eBay if you'd like.

[eagc7]

send me the pm fi you want

[9012Ironhide]

I heard they r making recon ravage a toys r us exclusive in canada

[smutoys]

@9012Ironhide: You heard right. ;)

[9012Ironhide]

@smutoys lol then I guess its a fail when they said not sold at any retail

[smutoys]

@9012Ironhide: Haha yeah! But then again, it's not like it was originally planned to be released at retail in Canada. And it's still technically a true statement, for the US anyway.

[piplup2009]

too bad this will never happen in the uk (i hope we get a reon ravage on its own with 3 stickers so we can get another thats what canada is doing)

[smutoys]

@piplup2009: Ya never know. But, if not, I know it's really unfortunate. That's what the secondary market is there for though. Might be slightly pricier, and not as nice as participating in the actual promo, but it can be gotten.

[popculturehero]

You can't order multiples though. Just one ravage per form.

So if you want more than one recon ravage you have to buy more battle packs.

It's nice though because it makes it harder for scalpers to abuse the system and grab thousands at once.

[smutoys]

@popculturehero: It's definitely fair. It's usually that way, if I remember. At least with recent mail away offers I've sent for, like Star Wars and Indiana Jones.

If I really wanted more than one, I'd just buy the packs and sell the figs on eBay. Sure, I'd be taking a bit of a loss, but it'd be worth it if I really wanted more than one. Or just buy a Recon Ravage on eBay. I'm sure there'll be plenty.

[popculturehero]

@smutoys. As recent as 1997 there was a lays potato chip spirit of obi wan kenobi mail away promotion.

Dealers seized the opportunity and filled out their forms with ridiculous quantities. Now a ghost of obi wan figure from that promotion is extremely common. And you can usually get them at conventions for $1 or less.

[smutoys]

@popculturehero: Yeah, I remember those. I mailed away for a few. Same with the cereal Han Solo Storm Trooper. Of course, that was many years ago, lots of rules have changed.

Either way, I'm looking forward to my Recon Ravage. I've got mine ready to go, just so broke right now that I can't afford the $4.95 hahaha!
