    Can anyone suggest a good place to order these Selects from (mainly, I just want Smokescreen though!) if you\'re not in the US? BigBadToyStore has insane shipping costs, so they\'re out, as is ebay. Anywhere for us Aussies to buy these? i\'d love to support Hasbro direct but it seems their \"Pulse\" thingy doesn\'t ship outside the USA?

    A red colonial viper - what is not to like.

    I wonder when we get US Pricing info and any further news on that Takara Soundblaster ?

    I'm REALLY hoping we get a Cylon Raider mold for Bumblebee in this line...

    That would be pretty awesome. A subtle TF x BG on Hasbro's part, maybe? lol.

    Was it - I guess the news I saw just happened to be bundled in with Takara news ( I wasn't paying a lot of attention to Toyfair to be honest ) - oh that isn't so bad then- save me a few quid if it's retail and not another Pulse Exclusive - though that isn't a bother if they are a $30 exclusive.

    I hope Hasbro or Takara is planning on making a lil Buzzsaw too.

    I was more wondering about Red Wings Non-Asian pricing though.

    redwing comes packaged the same as combat megatron (i got one) so his price will likely be $30 on pulse with a minimal markup from other etailers (i think combat megatron is like $32 on bbts)

    Yes I hope that is the case. If it is it should save me a little bit over the standard Asian release. & if it's due for release in August that isn't to far away from October when a lot of the other desirable stuff seems to be due.

    I just really don't want to miss out on as many as possible of the seekers that they make - as it's not like they release very much in the UK any more - especially brown box items - those are always going to get skipped or made limited access (so essentially comic book shop / Internet exclusives).

    It is pretty disapointing when you see things like Ectotron not getting released properly her. The Pulse show seems to rather drag it's heels at times though - compared to the likes of Amazon.

    i think part of that might be due to a sort of non compete claise in hasbros contracts with their vendors. basocally they can sell direct, but not before the big box stores (their biggest customers) get their stock, or at least that would be my assumption. on the bright sode, thanks to pulse we finally get dates of when figures should be available by rather than some nebulous timeframe.

    At this point could be preordered from US sites not before early Autumn?
    I could replace SIEGE Thundercracker with this one, I don't know anything about this character but red colours as Thrust and even better ,a G1 face with smirk are convincig me. Colours on head and chest are perfect,maybe thighs are too strong as contrast with that black and could have used something better but is my favorite seeker now.

    Redwing won’t be amazon exclusive, he’s generations selects so he’ll go up on pulse too, especially considering pulse is how we found out about him
