Well, how rude of Iron Man not to give you advanced notice of his arrival. He really is Tony Stank.

Cut him some slack, he's not used to using the space stone yet

Smokescreen's red is a bit darker and more muted than I thought it would be. But the paint work looks pretty dang good so far

Messing around with Smokescreen today, and wow he is an improvement on Prowl. The race car aesthetic works so much better for this mold, and the paint work is fantastic.

Also, thinking about it and then looking at the list of Autobots, I've now realized that from the entire 1984-85 Autobot tv show cast, the only bot I do not have a toy of at all is Smoke's moldmate Bluestreak. I have everyone else in some capacity, and while some are purely combiners, I feel like very soon I fill have them as individuals too.

Check out Smoke!

2/3 Powerdashers complete! Funny Aragon was revealed first and he will be the last i get.



and have some more Smokescreen

Cromar was forged to be G2 armor

Hasbro is truly trying to solve distribution woes by amplifying the ease of purchasing these collectible toys online. For Canadians who couldn't find them at EB Games nor want to pay the extra shipping fees from Pulse, Toysrus.ca now has some of the Generations Selects figures for you to buy online. They are Transformers Generations Selects WFC Nightbird and Powerdasher Zetar. This makes it now 3 Generations Selects figures that Toysrus distributs in Canada. Toysrus is also the exclusive distributor of the Seeker 3 pack with Ionsotrm, Novastorm and Acidstorm and that pack can also be purchased from Toysrus.ca.

The packaging is in all North American languages so they can be shipped across Canada. Hopefully Toysrus also stocks the other Generations Selects figures, especially since Redwing still has no Canadian retailer.

Here are the links:

Transformers Generations Selects - WFC-GS07 Nightbird, War for Cybertron Deluxe Class Figure

Transformers Generations Selects - WFC-GS08 Powerdasher Zetar, War for Cybertron Deluxe Class Figure

Transformers Generations War for Cybertron Voyager Class Seekers 3-Pack

Some more images of the good guy with an evil clown face

Everybody with awesome stuffs, meanwhile, I'm still waiting on my Pulse Star Convoy....


Nah, its all good, my wallet needs a little break.

I'm waiting on Star Convoy too. But honestly, considering the delays of stuff i've ordered into October, it might be better that he comes out in November

So I ordered Hot Shot and Cromar from Pulse a week ago when they went live, and I just today got the email saying they've shipped, but when I check the tracking info on the orders, it says they started shipping Monday and they're already in Illinois by now. Hasbro just didn't let me know they were on their way or change my order status and let me track them until today, because....reasons, I guess.

At least now I know I'll have them on Monday.

Pulse has been weird with the shipping. I got my notice that Cromar shipped today.. even though he arrived Tuesday

I got the email notice that my Cromar and Hot Shot had shipped just this morning. By the time I got home from work today, they had already been delivered! That's instant gratification, lol!

By the way, both figures are fantastic! Zetar and Cromar look great together on my display shelf. I can't wait to get Aragon from the Amazon set now. I'm looking forward to him more than "Invisible" Mirage or "Decepticon" Impactor. Hot Shot is a great repaint. Different details are picked out as compared to Hound, giving him a more distinct look. Hot Shot really makes me appreciate the Siege Hound mold even more now.

So I emailed Pulse Tuesday asking what's happening with the last two Seacons. I pointed out that they've been on Takara Tomy Mall for a while and they're already listed at domestic web shops. Haven't heard anything yet which is a little concerning, the previous two waves were listed within a couple days. I hope things just got lost in the shuffle while trying to get things listed from NYCC and wrapping things up with Unicron's crowdfund and they'll get up there soon.

This is why I've ordered the last two from TFSource. The first four I ordered through Hasbro Pulse. When they do eventually go up on Pulse, I'll just cancel the TFSource order.

Posting these pics here just to illustrate that these Selects boxes work great as building block risers/platforms for terracing a display.












I . like to turn them inside out to show off the cool Cybertonian hexopattern.
Adds a splash of techno-greeble to the background.

Thursday I noticed Hot Shot was listed on Pulse so I ordered him along with Astrotrain. I then cancelled my pre-order at Big Bad. While the order still says unfulfilled on the Pulse site I got a notification from FedEx saying Hasbro is getting a package ready to ship to me.

Yeah, Pulse has been a bit weird in sending out their ship notifications and updating orders on their site. A few members got their ship notifications from Pulse on the day their items arrived. Cromar and Hot Shot arrived for me on Thursday and still showed up as unfulfilled on Pulse until this morning. Fedex has been been more reliable on the ship notifications for my recent orders.

Hotshot is available on Toysrus Canada's website

https://www.toysrus.ca/en/Transformers- ... EE9DF.html

The funny thing about Hot Shot is, I got the original Cybertron Defense Hot shot, and now it has made me want the new one, even though the old one is fantastic!

My 12yr. old son is calling siege Smokescreen “unfinished business.” C’mon, Reprolabels!

I never saw the CYBERTRON trilogy so all I knew about Hot Shot was that he has one sweet paint job. And with him being Hound's twin, I can take pics like this:

Transformers Generations Selects WFC Lancer is available for order on Pulse again. Many either do not have their preorders fulfilled yet or were looking to buy the figure but could not. Well, she ships out right now from Hasbro Pulse. So if you want her, there is no time like the present. She is needed to finish Orthia, the combiner made from the G1 Fembots from the Search for Alpha Trion episode.
You can get her by clicking here. Since demand is high, it is very possible that she be sold out by the time you read this, but we wanted to help fans by at least giving a heads up.

Thank you! Now I can cancel my pre-order at Big Bad and soon I will have Orthia complete!

Mere days after mine just arrived from Action Robo. Oh well, glad others will get another chance to get her.

So I tried to get an definitive answer out of Hasbro Pulse customer service on whether or not they'd be offering the remaining two Seacons. Their customer service rep was less than helpful, basically just saying the only info they have is what's on the site after first somehow thinking I was asking about a re-release even though I never mentioned one. I'll just post my email chain below:

Jared at Hasbro Pulse wrote:Thank you for reaching out to us in regards to this. We do apologize but we are unaware of if or when that figure will be re-released for sale on our Hasbro Pulse website as we are limited to the products and information that is currently listed on the website.

Emerje wrote:Hi, I think you might have misunderstood my question. I wasn't talking about a re-release, I was talking about a first release of figures 5 and 6 (wave 3) of Transformers Selects Seacons.

These have been available at Takara Tomy Mall for a few weeks now and usually Hasbro Pulse lists Takara Tomy's Selects figures within a couple days of the Japanese listing. https://takaratomymall.jp/shop/goods/se ... %83%93%83Y

I just want to know if Hasbro Pulse is going to complete the set or if fans are going to be forced to buy them from other sellers at a higher price?

Good ol' noncommittal customer service. I guess expecting them to actually find out is asking too much.

Emerje

Does that mean Age 3 & Up plus other resellers will finally fulfil and ship out their Lancer preorders?

Yep. That's the same line I got when I asked their Customer Service "Chat" line about a month ago (minus the confusion about the "re-release").

So, per their sage advice, I keep checking the site multiple times throughout the day. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they post Tentakil and Overbite within two days of when pre-orders are no longer taken for them. But just in case HP does drop the ball on the last two, I've pre-ordered them at Toy Dojo as a Plan B. I won't be charged until the items come in and I can cancel them before then if I'm able to pre-order them from Hasbro Pulse. And though I realize each is $5.00 more than what HP would list them for, at least I'll have them pre-ordered in case HP doesn't list the last two at all.

Secured my Lancer, and went and cancelled from TFsource. Now I can have a complete Orthia next week!

Jared...that just sounds like a customer reps name.

That and "Rich".

You tool
That got me good.

Hey I'm a customer service Captain ok pal. That's like, the Wreckers of customer service.

Figures I see the news post to late. Went to go purchase Lancer and sold out. Just my luck.

I've been putting up with "Jake, from State Farm" jokes for YEARS now.

Phew! Got mine ordered before it sold out. I saw this post yesterday while at work. Some kid saw what I was ordering while I was on the computer and just stood there.

Need any persuasion?

Has anybody canceled then reordered and canceled and reordered on Pulse just to get free shipping? I've did that with Apeface so I could get Barricade and Smokescreen shipped free and Astrotrain so I could get Lancer free. I would have gotten Lancer, Barricade, and Smokescreen at the same time to get the shipping since they count the tax as part of the $70 but didn't realize those two were in stock when I got Lancer only noticed after seeing someone comment on the Facebook post.

You deliberately do all that just for free shipping?

Stargrave wrote:You deliberately do all that just for free shipping?

As a Canadian, I could juggle bowling pins while jumping through hoops on fire, I will never, ever get free shipping from Pulse.

aronjlove wrote:Has anybody *done the hokey pokey* to get free shipping...

No, but I love it

Sounds a little confusing, but didn't work out?


Off topic but on subject of Pulse, when do the free premium subs end? I might need to jump sooner than later to enjoy a little more of that sweet free shipping nectar myself

As a member of the Church of Amazon's congregation, free shipping is like my rosary or something. The analogy fell apart at the end but yes I will do crazy stuff to get free shipping. Years of Amazon Prime have beaten the "free shipping" mantra into my head.

Preach it! I've spent hours browsing a site hemming and hawing, finally commiting and adding item(s) to the cart to just close the tab once I see the shipping

Especially when it is the same as a battlemaster or one of the older legends size figures

They just got put up this morning

Fans waiting for the final two Seacons to show up on Pulse can rest easy. They are now available on Pulse under the following names:

Takara Tomy Transformers Generations Piranacon 5

Takara Tomy Transformers Generations Piranacon 6

Both are $34.99 USD and will ship out March 28th, 2020

These new Generations Selects Overbite and Tentakil figures are also available for Australians though the EB Games and Zing Website. The price there is $78.00 AUD each ($53.24 USD) with a $10 AUD deposit. As you can see, the prices don't match up at all with what Pulse is charging on their end, which people already find to be excessive.

Ages 3+ are $39.95 each, but I went ahead with them because Chosen Prime was showing sold out and Pulse was dragging their butts.

Even with their 10% cancellation fee, it might be worth it since Hasbro Pulse is more than 10% cheaper and you could get free shipping.

And, just cancelled from TF Source and ordered from Pulse. Bout time.
