Fans were quaking in their boots for War for Cybertron: Siege Titan Class Omega Supreme coming out in August 2019, however, it seems that there may be a potential delay for the set of the year.
Hasbro Pulse has the release date set for October 1st, Amazon has it for October 4th, but, Big Bad Toy Store still has Omega Supreme slated for August 2019. It's hard to exactly pinpoint what this could be due to, but hopefully, more details will stroll in during San Diego Comic-Con.
The madness continues for Siege Voyager Class Thundercracker, who on Hasbro Pulse awaits release on October 1st, and on Target on October 6th. Meanwhile, Amazon has him set for August 1st, and Big Bad Toy Store is set to release in July.
What is your take on this madness? Let us know, as well as if you're disappointed, in the Pub forums below.

They probably oversold pre-orders like they did with Punch-Counterpunch

Yeah, I talked with customer service. They’re sold out and they don’t know when they get them back in stock.

Just sent a message, too. Pre-ordred this back in February. This isn't the first time it happened. They should at least send an e-mail saying that they're out or that it's late.

Ask and you shall receive. Here is one with the 2 of them, and another with an assortment.
1988 God Ginrai (or any of its reissues)
Car Robots God Fire Convoy/RiD 2001 Omega Prime
Armada Optimus Prime in his Super Mode
Armada Tidal Wave
From the above images, Jetfire looks to be a smidge taller than that CW Bruticus.
Sorry Sabr, I don't have any of those, but you are correct, he is just a smidge taller than Bruticus and the other CW combiners.

As for the dates, I'd put much more stock in Hasbro/Amazon etc... BBTS doesn't really update their release dates until they have to. Once August is over, and the figure hasn't been released THEN they'll change the release date to September,THEN October etc...

His status at Hasbro Pulse just went to sold out as well a few minutes ago. Something's upCyberpath wrote:Is Skyfire delayed everywhere? The status on TFsource & BBTS still says "pre-order."
I wonder if they under anticipated demand? I guess people are willing to pay more for nicer stuff

I think those 3P sites have just been getting them later now that more official retailers such as HP and Amazon are getting them. (BBTS would bet them before B&M, but Jetfire is only available online as far as I know so...)
One Question though....Did anyone who just went to Amazon and purchased him on Monday get him already? Because if so...that's kind of messed up if they sent out orders immediately showing it's in stock, while someone who pre-ordered months ago didn't get theirs.
So he's not delayed. Was just released on Monday July 1, (on HP and Amazon) and seems to have sold out quite quickly. More stock will come in time however I'm sure

With battle damage and G1 styling head to toe this piece also comes with what has to be one of the best Megatron arm canons ever released. Click any of the images to jump to the sale.

Thanks so much for that! I got notice that my Siege Jetfire is shipping from Hasbro Pulse just this morning. Unfortunately, I probably will have to rearrange my display shelves to fit him in where I had the T30 version. That one just barely fits because I rotated the booster pack around 180 degrees to shorten the "backpack" and just barely make the clearance on that shelf's "ceiling."

I'm curious what the issue is in general though.

That's cool. Amazon gave me a $10 discount on my next purchase, which benefits them more, because I will have to buy from them again to use it. And I'm not sure if I will, they have failed to fulfill my pre-orders too many times.
If BBTS or TFS get their stock first I will probably ditch my Amazon pre-order. Maybe I should do it anyway, and if it goes up again, use the $10 discount.

Yeah, they gave me a $29.01 promotional credit. So you can only use it on items sold by Amazon. But in the long run, the money would be spent either way, so I was cool with it.

Dude how crazy is it this that Amazon seems more equipped or at the ready to handle the issue I mean for Hasbro Pulse to remove the item, yikes, right? Like they’re called the Pulse for a reason
I guess I just figure Hasbro Pulse orders would get filled first. I haven’t ordered enough on line to know what I’m talking about I’m just sayin but it’s all Greek to me it seems nutty foofoo.

I think Hasbro is still relatively new at being a retailer. Of course they don't seem to be that great at being a distributor at times eitherStargrave wrote:Dude how crazy is it this that Amazon seems more equipped or at the ready to handle the issue
I pinged Hasbro Pulse customer service when they first went online and found them to be nice and helpful, but I don't expect much from the first line of support techs.

Honestly? They probably weren’t sure how it was gonna be received by fans, I mean we may have all liked it, but that doesn’t translate into sales

He is one of the weaker molds. He has one o the weakest alt modes for sure, and a rather standard transformation. It’s all about the bot mode with him.

Chefatron also has a review up for up for Jetfire, and we can truly see how big he is once again, compared to an upgraded Unite Warriors Computron, who is the same height. We also see an undocumented feature not in the instructions, where he has a removable engine, where a Titan Master/Prime Master could take his place. Chefatron shows to be very pleased by the figure, and also gives the figure a 10 out of 10. The review can be view below!
Tell us your new thoughts on these figures if you've seen the reviews in the Pub forums below!

I'm seriously looking forward to completing the Seeker set.
I used to not care for Chefatron, but I like how playful he's gotten
It's nice to see Red Wing and Skywarp has fixed the chest popping action.

You're not alone. I'm quite happy with TR Megatron, so have no desire to replace him with Siege Megs.

Same here. TR Megs is a great figure.
I do want Selects Megatron, but he'll be Megaplex in my collection.
That Jetfire though.......

I'm sure a good deal of Siege's budget has gone into making Jetfire a good figure, there's a high chance you'll like him.
