    Just noticed BBTS have photos of the coin collectible pin up on their listing for 18+

    It's almost June and some of us still don't have Wheeljack (was due in February) so eventually could be four months and counting.

    Big Bad.

    Embarrassment Earth customers are also waiting.

    It’s probably just BBTS’s problem. Since Wheeljack came out a long while ago.

    Except I also mentioned Embarrassment Earth customers being in the same situation. Prevailing theory is Hasbro dragging its ass on some sleeve nobody wanted, something Pulse, as Hasbro's barely-disguised retail division, would almost certainly be subject to.

    I remember the same thing happening with +Prowl as I went with BBTS. I was fortunate enough that +
    Wheeljack was available on Amazonjpn.

    Not long now until Bluestreak is out. I had to go BBTS route with this one so I may not get him until July/August if their current shipping rate doesn't improve.

    Why do they keep changing items? I’d prefer just coins instead of pins and mini-figures.

    I hear ya! I got myself a nice little collection of coins. I really wish they would continue them as I think they are nice little add ons!

    It seems to happen with some North American sites for Takara Tomy Mall Exclusives. Not sure why.

    What's strange is that it hasn't significantly held up the other figures that got a sleeve (MP17+, MP BW Megatron)

    I wonder if the sleeve is a requirement in the agreement between Hasbro and Takara-Tomy. As in a requirement that TT Masterpieces sold in specific regions have some kind of distinguishing difference to clearly indicate it's for distribution to a different market. Just speculation of course, but those kinds of clauses are typical in such agreements.

    Even though I don’t like them it’d be nice if they were at least consistent.

    That’s it! I’m convinced! I’ll buy him. He’s only $80 at TFSource. But I’ll have to wait a little bit.
