    That Galvatron II is from the E-Hobby release, right?

    I think so, ~2006? That might be the most expensive one to try to get?

    Maybe a 3rd party would issue one.

    Wasn’t really impressed with God Neptune, and was debating cancelling him before he shipped. King Poseidon was AWESOME and will be even better with the upgrade kit.

    About to list on the BST for $190 shipped, if anyone was interested (opened, transformered, and then replaced in box; combiner bits never even removed).

    Does God Neptune have the same QC issues realted to tight pegs?

    I haven't sanded my Seacons yet, but now that I've got Poseidon and Neptune I may do one pass and take care of everything if I can.

    I didn't know of these issues with KP, but the pegs on my God Neptune set are fine.

    There were at least two pegs I can think of that had issues on KP. One was Tentakill's sword piece and one was, I think, Skalor or Overbite's foot peg?

    I’m surprised there isn’t demand for this set.

    Wouldn't that be because the window to obtain one closed months ago? The demand would've come at the initial offering.

    Well, God Neptune arrived from Hong Kong. Sometimes the idea of these figures is more fulfilling than the reality of having them in-hand, but I am glad I sprung for him, even if he's really only here to keep my G2 Megatron company while he pretends to be Megastorm.

    I want more BWII updates...

    Because it was easy to get.

    The Seacons weren't. Fewer PO options, not as many early buyers, etc. People either got Neptune or didn't
    He was a known commodity once we all had Poseidon in hand.

    Seems like Pulse is offering a second run to Pulse Premium members.

    I’m mainly getting this set to either go with the kingdom beast wars stuff or my Japanese shelf with Baldigus, Skurge, Slipstream.

    I think it's for early access. in a few hours, it should be available for everyone else. Super megs is also there.
