Excellent reminder. I was fortunate to avoid that fate, I didn't even think of it.

 

I placed my preorder at both pulse and amazon. For insurance. I no longer trust Amazon after canceling 2 of my preorders.

 

I can see the reasoning for retail figures but does Amazon seriously need to have us wait this long for their own exclusive items to be released? By the time its available they usually end up selling out despite being available for preorder for a few months.

I don’t think will hear anything about the golden disk series till the end of the year and if we do they probably won’t release them till 2022.

Exclusive aside Im about at it with the delayed preorder monopoly for Amazon buyers. Shit only ends with sclaped algorithm prices on their own damn stock. All wasting too much time and money.

 

We have known about this set for months and people keep asking when it’s going to go up. I guess they could have waited three or four months and then put them up but that would frustrate people also.

 

Update: The Dinobot I ordered on May 7 just shipped with an ETA of tomorrow.

 

Frustration would have happened no matter the release date. Someone is always unhappy.

 

Anybody remember what the original asking price for the Siege Phantomstrike pack was on amazon.ca, in CAD?

 

Took 17 days, but they finally arrived. Might order some pink next. They're great for figures with articulated hands.

 

Are those the dice that were mentioned earlier? Those would work well for dark energon. Do you know if they have them in blue?

They do have blue. Guess the purple is as close to pink outside of red that they have. The blue do look good.

 

Thanks! I use blue for normal energon in one of my photo comics, and that might work for it.

 

Just a heads up, I ordered a set of purple from this seller a few months back. Instead they sent me a bag of assorted colors with only a few purples. Then when I tried to return them they gave me a hard time, finally got refunded through amazon. If you actually get the right colors, they do make pretty good Energon cubes.

 

Thanks for the warning!

 

No problem! I ordered some different ones yesterday off of eBay, they’re specifically meant to be Energon cubes, if you want I can let you know how those are once I get them next week! They come in lots of colors too!

 

Sure, that be great!

 

These by chance?

I have some and they're great!

 

Amazon Japan has pre-orders up for the Premium Finish Siege Optimus Prime and Studio Series movie Bumblebee, release date Oct 30, 2021:

Or put them both on the same pre-order to save on shipping.

 

I bought them both because I'm a sucker for redecos.

 

I think I'm okay skipping this series unless one of our guesses for the other 10 are just straight up incorrect

 

I have no idea what those guesses are, but I'll probably end up buying them all, haha.
