    Are you in the U.S.? They’re always available on Hasbro Pulse.

    Any one else get an Overbite with no instructions manual from TFSource? If so, is it normal that it didnt come with one ?( stupid question...just gotta ask ) :)  What can I do to go about getting an instructions manual for him? I still have that extra Lobklaw ( Naugtilator )that Im trying to trade off ? Need to track down some G1/G2/BW gestalt stuff ...some CW bots too.

    Yeah,.... I'm in the US and I'm actually in a state right above you in the south. What i meant was i realize you can buy them on Pulse and i have done so and good example was greasepit figure. I managed SOMEHOW to get a order in on that figure. So just when they had it (add to cart) for that time but then later that day it went to pre-order and Exhaust was a figure bought with him. I thought both figures would sell out but it went to pre-order on greasepit and Exhaust stayed (add to cart) but was wrong on 1 of them. Just like what happened yesterday with the figure (Hothouse) i got the email but didn't see email till late and it was sold out so i had to buy it from bbts and pay 3bucks more and have shipping on top as pulse for me is free shipping. So i have missed figures just like Hothouse figure yesterday at pulse cause didn't see email soon enough to get a order in and have to pay a little more somewhere else whether it be bbts or another company.

    Selects is like what Botcon should have been. Widely available toys featuring characters and color schemes that fans would recognise and appreciate at a much lower cost. Takara's Selects such as the Seacons are significantly more expensive than a regular Deluxe but much cheaper than they would have been if they had been done by Botcon.

    The only thing missing is a comic book focusing on the Selects characters.

    Takara Selects are Takara prices, they're no more expensive than they should be for that market. The only reason we see them as expensive is because they are imports

    The selects have been pretty good. The Takara Selects too. I really like Star Sabre and King Poseidon. I haven't got all of them but I've got a good amount of them.

    Greasepit arrived today with two right thighs, Exhaust arrived with a left leg that keeps popping off at the left thigh and has very loose hips and knees, and Hubcap arrived with a backpack that's so loose in it's hole (giggity), that it falls out at the slightest movement of his arms....

    I'm not having much luck with the newest Selects right now, and even my Doubledealer that arrived today has extremely loose elbows and shoulders.:(

    I wasn't at first, but I'm really intrigued by what this line has to offer. I love off-color repaints of characters. Does anyone have a photo of Combat Hero Megatron, Redwing, and Galactic Man Shockwave together? I really want to see how their color schemes look side by side.

    Been wanting to post pics of Rotorstorm, but couldn't figure out where to post 'em in the Siege or the ER thread.

    I gotta say, I've been enjoying the Selects repaints more than the vainilla versions of the WFC molds :p :D
