    Debating now if I should just get Skullcruncher through pulse or wait and see if I can find him in store, he's the last one I need.

    Also kinda want to get a second Weirdwolf just in case he still has the hinge issue.

    Because there isn’t any existing stock for them to source from. So far all the partner exclusives that pulse has are items that are either still in production or had inventory left over in their warehouses.

    The Medics set, Seekers, and the Autobot Alliance more than likely have no inventory left in Hasbro’s supply and will need a new production run. Which if they decide to do so, it can take up to 7 months for them to show up.

    because none of the partner exclusives have been sold out items. They've all been in-stock items that have stock to go around.

    "just re-releasing" the others would be a costly and possibly undoable endeavor.

    It's likely written in the previous exclusives contract that they cant just take stock before a certain date.

    Did they fix the loose headmaster connection on highbrow? Only reason I’d get him

    Relief! I put in my order on Hasbro Pulse for Wave 2. Thank goodness Hasbro wised up and started doing this.

    Agreed. The only reason I kept my Premium Membership was that HBP started to carry the Walmart RED line and now the retro exclusives.

    Seems about the same on mine compared to my TR one. I remember reading about the connection being slightly better for someone else. YMMV of course.

    In that case it's probably better if i just modified my titans return one to work better, I liked the old head better personally anyways.

    Contracts. The 5% policy is new for Transformers and likely doesn't cover most of the figures released in 2020. My guess is they will offer up some of those Amazon exclusives a year or so after they were released.

    Ah, thank you very much!
    I think I’m quite pleased with the Legends versions, although my Weirdwolf’s hinge is broken like so many others. Curious to see how this new version performs in that regard.

    It's probably going to be the same. The main reason for breakage is that inner cockpit plastic. Whatever the composition for that is it just causes the hinge to break. So if you want to keep it intact it's best just to remove it from the get go.

    I have finally been able to get my hands on the first wave (I live in Spain and here, there is neither Walmarts nor Hasbro Pulse ...), and I am really in love with them. Chromedome was always my favorite : IMG_20210419_184414_edit_853258847796884.jpg IMG_20210419_184517_edit_853251224438552.jpg IMG_20210419_184719_edit_853240012934908.jpg IMG_20210419_184805_edit_853231828156784.jpg IMG_20210419_185209_edit_853223286820327.jpg IMG_20210419_185252_edit_853215278816161.jpg IMG_20210419_185335_edit_853205748857829.jpg IMG_20210419_185422_edit_853193678923456.jpg IMG_20210419_185531_edit_853182354703666.jpg IMG_20210419_190719_edit_852988219342758.jpg -)

    I'm happy I got my wave 2 guys from Hasbro pulse! They look sooo good!! My only complaint is that my Skullsmasher's left gator eye got a red splotch on it...
