    Speaking of Pulse. Just unboxed my Ectotron and the box is DESTROYED. I mean torn, ripped, and there are two very bad cracks in the front fender where the plastic strap was ripped through it. The kicker, the shipping box is pristine with more than enough packing pillows. They knew what they were shipping me. On hold to talk to a customer service rep. now. NOT A HAPPY CAMPER RIGHT NOW.:mad:

    That's why you need the RedCard, to pay for those monthly Redwing rental costs. Sneeky bastards!

    Precisely.
    @Nevermore, it just means that if they decide to return Redwing, they have 90 days to do so.
    Though I'm sure you've figured that out by now.

    Is it selfish of me to have expected effects parts? Everytime I open a selects figure and don't see any effects parts, I'm a bit disappointed. Just seems like an easy addition for more premium feel.

    But besides that, I love my Redwing, just a gorgeous figure!

    Agreed. I think that would have been a small but big thing Hasbro could have done. A small bonus.

    The "premium feel" comes from the additional paint apps that go into the figure. Not to mention most of the Selects figures thus far have been at the same cost of the same figure class at retail (even Richochet and Red Swoop for $20 on Pulse).

    I know, I wouldn't mind $5 more though for a set of like, 6 effect parts for weapons and live fire. Even if it's just recolors of the parts that we have gotten at retail.

    It's most likely going to be available on Pulse. Most are anticipating an online SDCC sale like the the previous years.

    As it stands right now, it's currently unavailable. A small amount were released overseas, and on Target.com for a few minutes.

    I didn't think it was possible, but Redwing turned out to be BETTER than Starscream. Definitely tighter tolerances on all joints, but not so tight as to be a problem. The chest flap is far tighter than Starscream's. There won't be any issues with this one coming off. I think I saw someone a page or so back mention there was a pin this time. I can confirm there is NOT a pin, they more than likely made some minor adjustments to make the piece fit tighter. And I love the color scheme. Getting a lot of Armada Starscream vibes from it. So glad I was able to grab this from Target before they took it down!

    Yeah it'll be on Pulse. Starting to feel more and more like the reason we haven't heard of any "Generations" based SDCC exclusives is because that slot may be filled by the likes of Ectotron and Red Wing.

    gotta agree, of late we've had a high ticket exclusive (usually around $150), which is prime this year, other years its been a titan and smaller exclusives that arent actually sdcc exclusive but go for sale during the con
