Picked up from where? i thought these were Pulse exclusive?

 

I would assume foxracing might not be a US resident, since this type of exclusivity usually doesn't apply worldwide.

 

Looking back at the pics on the first page of the thread, the packaging is the same way, backs on the opposite side. It was probably a conscious design choice, but it's kind of a silly one IMO.

 

Yup located in Asia.



Was there ever a Dinobots repaint of these guys?

 

Gonna be hard to resell the unwanted Frenzy when the packaging half belongs to the other side of the single package.....Having just noticed that this is a bifolded package, I believe I will be returning all but 1 set of this just to open & display. No point in trying to keep an unopened package that will be difficult to protect where the casing likely doesn't even exist yet to protect it, unlike all the single carded toys across the previous say 40-50 years now. Truly odd choice & a slam to collectors between the packaging & the "screw-up" on the back printing. Unless the whole point was to NEVER open these & just put them on a shelf?

 

Nope, the only redecos of these that even exist are "Uriad" and "Uruaz" from those Studio Series exclusive sets.

 

Has anyone received a shipping notice from Hasbro yet? What is the release date?

 

I just received them today.

 

Cool! Looks like you are in the Netherlands, so it may be different there. I'm in the US.

I just saw on the Hasbro Pulse website, they have the available date listed as 09/16.

That sucks they released them with the packages fused together like that. I was planning to open mine anyways though.

 

For those that have these and have opened them, what does Frenzy's face look like? Does it have the unpainted visor and painted red dot on his forehead like the promotional photos?

 

+1

I'm also curious about the dino cassettes. Are all the black parts made out of painted metal, or is it plastic?

 

*sigh*

No.

 

Hopefully someone who is opening theirs will chim in. Plan to gift mine away BNOC. The blue (or is it the stickers?) is a different shade from the other Frenzy 2 pack.

Soft plastic it seems. No metal parts like those that came with SS19/20.

 

I got an e-mail from Pulse along side the Star Convoy delay e-mail that these are now expected to ship the week of September 16th. Which is weird, because I always thought that was the case, but I guess originally they were expected sooner.

 

That's interesting. I liked the metal on the other ones, but plastic has some benefits.

 

I received them from Robotkingdom.

 

How "no"?

"Dial" would be either ダイアル ("daiaru") or ダイヤル ("diyaru") in katakana. By contrast, the Dinocassette's name is simply spelled ダイル ("dairu"), without the ア ("a") or ヤ ("ya").

For comparison, "crocodile" would be クロコダイル ("kurokodairu"), and "reptile" would be レプタイル ("reptile"). The "dile" in "crocodile" is spelled exactly like the Dinocassette's name, and the "tile" in "reptile" begins with a タ ("ta") that gets modified with a dakuten to become ダ ("da").

 

Received mine

 

Here my first in hand pics, I don t have the original blaster, but 1 tape can fit in his chest  

 

How are frenzy's colors? It appeared in some preview shots he was misassembled or had some colors reversed.
