I think we may see it at the end of October. If TMNT is out and W3 has begun shipping it would be good timing. Expecially if W2 leaves the factory on schedule during that preorder it may put buyers at ease. Then again, they may wait till the end of Nov instead to release that preorder to time it with W2’s departure from China. That way any delays on that end can be covered in that month.

Hopefully we can build some momentum soon.

I hope so too. What concerns me is that the massive increase in shipping rates from China surely isn't cost-effective for Super7. It makes me doubtful about the longevity of the line. I think we will get more but how long can Super7 keep this up for under these circumstances? China's current antics could put Super7 out of business at this rate. Are they going to continue doing botch jobs on the figures so that Super7 have to send products back and have them shipped again? That's going to lead to additional costs. Makes you wonder if it's going to become a regular thing. Something has to change. Down with this bullshit shipping crisis and no more botches. That's not a lot to ask. A bit of decency wouldn't go a miss. No more excuses and bleeding toy companies dry because it's not acceptable.

I'm sure Thundercats Ultimates will get many more waves as long as people continue to Preorder the figures. Brian has the Lunataks planned out and i'm sure we will get may others. I mean they are giving us the Core Thundercats complete team and the Core Mutants along with Mumm-Ra The Everliving.
As for shipping Thats beyond all companies controle be it toys or other items made in China. The shipping cost increase has affected all toy companies. Super7 has had to raise Ultimates prices, 4H have raised the cost of all future Mythic Legions & cosmic legions waves etc.

I have no doubts about fans putting in pre-orders. I just worry about the shipping costs cancelling out a large proportion of the sales. It's a good thing that Thundercats has a loyal fanbase because if it didn't, many would have given up on the line by now and that really would be curtains. It just goes to show that there was no need for Mattel to cancel this line when they had it. I'm glad we're getting the core characters because regardless of it's lifespan, this will be the best Thundercats line we've had since LJN. If Brian has Lunataks planned, he probably has up to 15 waves decided on at this point. I agree that the toy companies have no control over the shipping crisis. However, I do believe there are people out there somewhere who are controlling this crisis and that makes me mad because it's clearly all about money. I do not believe it's about anything else as we get lied to all the time. Greed has and always will be a huge problem in this world we live in.

Brian has stated they already have 2022's waves planned out. Thats going to be at least four to five waves in 2022

I heard something about them having 9 of their waves already planned but due to how many characters there are in the show and how many characters were made by LJN without the inclusion of Lunataks, it wouldn't surprise me if they've looked beyond 9 waves by now. They will want to release the entire Lunatak team so I think that by the time that has come to pass, there will have been about 15/16 waves if they want to have given us the majority of the characters we got from LJN too. I don't know how soon they will move on to Lunataks. It could be as soon as wave 5 or it could be later. It depends on whether they want to do them before or after the Berzerkers, probably before, as the demand for Lunataks seems to be higher based on what I've read and that is probably due to the fact that we've never had them before. With that being said, we could have gotten them all by wave 10. For that to happen, they would need to include one per wave from wave 5 onwards, along with a villain who may have only appeared a few times in the show or only once (I want Mongor). They would also have to do Lunataks before Berzerkers. I guess it depends on whether or not they want to be chronological. I think we will continue to get two goodies in each wave until they're all pretty much done (Hachiman would be awesome) and then after that, the waves will probably consist of more villaiins as I think there are more of them. I do think the line has potential to last for a long time and I know fans will do their best to keep it going but the issues we're having right now do make that a little more difficult and therefore concern me.

Kind of hope these are in wave 5

They may very well be. I'm anxious to find out who is going to be in wave 5 but I have no idea when the reveal will come.

I’d say by the end of October we will know.

Brian Flynn has stated that the pre-order for ThunderCats wave 5 will be coming in November, after wave 3 has completed shipping to customers.

He also stated that the wave will contain something "unique."

Fwooshcast?

What do we think it could be? I still think Mandora with her bike. But it could be a creature.

I lean towards Mandora and her bike as well!

I think there is a good chance of that but what about Snowmeow? Maybe something creepy like Mad Bubbler or Amortus?

I think it would be a wonderful surprise by Super7 & Brian Flynn if the Unique Item was Snowmeow. That would totally blow Thundercats Fans minds.

I'd love that. I'd definitely be in for it if it got announced. It would also make sense seeing as how Snowman is in wave 4. I think it would be the best choice because anyone who has ordered Snowman will most likely order Snowmeow and I would guess that most people collecting this line have gone for Snowman. I think he's a popular character and in the images that we have seen of him, he looks really good, probably one of the most impressive so far. It would have been tempting for a lot of people. There was no one in wave 4 that I could pass on. I even ordered an extra Monkian because I have two Jackalmen, so it seemed appropriate. My cat in the avatar is a bit like Snowmeow, though Snowmeow was completely white. The figure itself should be quite easy as it would probably be a re-paint of MOTUC Battle Cat and Panthor.

Now, my immediate questions are: new factory, correct? So, a new mold?
