    Glad I got all of my pre-orders in at TCP when they all first went up, but it still really sucks watching all of this going down for so many others...

    It'd probably be more effective to say "If you're not carrying them, I won't be re-upping my subscription to Pulse Premium"

    I feel like it's more of when you order rather than when it ships - they didn't authorize charges for shipping so they can't charge you later for it.

    Plus orders over a certain value get free shipping anyways, and the piranacons ain't cheap.

    But if I remember correctly the free Pulse membership was through the end of 2019.

    I’ve got the first four preordered at HP. The last two at TCP. Hopefully all will be ok.

    Twelve months after you enrolled is when you have to renew. I remember getting an email about that some time ago. Now if I could only remember when I enroll ....it was during the free timegap.

    I just want them to hurry up with the last two fishies!!!!

    I feel like a fool for not preordering the first two with pulse, instead I trusted bbts
    And so far it means nothing, sigh....
    I really want turtler and gulf, so i hope it works out or online stores get some stocked outside of pre orders

    I'm becoming more convinced by the day that something happened between pulse and TT that pulse doesn't want to (or can't?) offer more TT exclusives beyond what was offered previously...

    I’m starting to get that feeling as well. I hope they still get the ones that have already been solicited...

    I'm sure they will since star convoy eventually showed up. one side may have said, "ok we tried and this isn't quite working out, so we're not going to do FUTURE tt exclusives through pulse "

    And that talk may have happened between seacons w2 and "siege Voyager" nemesis prime...

    And that saddens me because it was one of the biggest things I like about HP. It definitely will make it hard to convince me to enroll for premium again.

    well i did my due diligence as a fan, customer and premium member and sent this email, more expressing concerns rather than actually expecting a solid answer

    "Hello, I am emailing to inquire about the transformers generation selects takara tomy seacons. Pulse put the first 4 from the set up for order but has yet to put the final 2 up. I realize that pulse, and by extension hasbro, are merely acting as distributors for these takara tomy products, but the takara window for preordering the final 2 is quickly approaching (10/31/19) and pulse has yet to put them up for order. I fear that if pulse can't make good on its promise to customers of providing a means to get regional exclusive figures for transformers (and other brands) that many people will not see value in their premium memberships. On several fan sites there are already rumors circulating that there has been some sort of falling out between Hasbro and Takara that has resulted in Hasbro being unable to provide further takara exclusive items. It would benefit both Hasbro Pulse and their customers greatly if Hasbro would get out in front of the rumors and let fans know what is going on, I realize you probably don't have any real information to share, but uncertainty with fandoms can do a lot to damage the good will hasbro has generated of late."

    lets see if i get a copy paste reply or an actual reply

    Why, exactly? The one reason why I haven’t bit the bullet on these yet is because of my feeling that Hasbro will end up making them for far cheaper. Is it some kind of foregone conclusion that this won’t happen?

    more or less. hasbro has not done any of the takara initiated lg-ex remolds like greatshot, big powered etc, takaras generation selects line is an evolution of lg-ex and thus it should be assumed until otherwise proven that hasbro will not be doing any of those figures

    It would be cool if they did the Big Power set but split them up. I'd rather just get Dia Atlus and not the other guys.

    The difference here though is that Greatshot, Big Powered, etc. were all originally Japanese-only characters with Japanese-only toys. The Seacons have analogous characters from the American G1 continuity (and look exactly the same), so there’s a possibility that Hasbro could make these.
