    Just spoke with Pulse CS (there's pretty much never a wait time when I call them), and was told that one of their servers is down so they're experiencing some delays on the site, but that Selects Galvatron should be up on Pulse soon. No specific ETA though.

    Said I would get this when they did it, and while its not perfect I dig it. It really looks like a classic G1 toy even with the stickers. And the rub sign is ready cool to see even for s relatively younger fan such as myself. Ordered

    I think they're also painted too. Look at the top right ab here, looks like the sticker's crooked but it's still silver underneath.

    Yeah, the only TF Tuesday's I can think of where folks got early access was when it was partner exclusives with the Amazon Battle Across Time stuff. TF Tuesdays Selects/SG Pulse Exclusives (so far) haven't had early access from what I remember.

    I remember being really jealous of my friend who had Galvatron\'s toy when I was a kid, but looking at this redeco, I\'m more than happy to sit it out. Good for tthose who are excited about it, but it looks way too busy and, frankly, kind of ugly to me. I\'m happy with the Kingdom Galvatron\'s more movie-accurate figure, which is definitely what I would rather have as a toy.

    There’s definitely something underneath other than the black paint, but to my eyes it looks more like exposed light gray/white plastic appearing silvery on camera due to light reflecting off the stickers. I’m not certain though.

    Oh wow, Hasbro remembered they own transformers and actually revealed something before it was on store shelves?

    I think the stickerless appearance would appeal to more fans. It looks like promoting it with stickers backfired.

    Is it wrong of me to mainly want this for the sparkly gun? They definitely blew a chance to make purple Revenges... that alone might have driven a couple of extra purchases, especially for Haslab Unicron owners

    I hate that it has stickers but ordered as I like the color scheme more than the most recent release.

    Preordered at BBTS. Hate Takara/Hasbro stickers and they should really have added more paint apps but I'm that much of a fan of Galvatron II to get this.

    Does anyone know if they fixed the issues with Kingdom Galvatron here?

    The shoulders are correct this time. Plus the stickers come on a sheet rather than being pre-applied.
