    Finally, proof! I bring to you today proof of the supposed Hascon Exclusive 2 preorder. I’ve heard a couple ideas, like a Refraktor reissue or a reformatted Galvatron. Can’t find a description or even a listing, so this is all there is to go on for now. Thoughts?

    It says "Hascon" rather than "Pulsecon," so yeah, it's the Refraktor pack.

    Can’t be, though. The Refraktor set was $99 CAD, whereas this was $109 if I’m remembering correctly, if not more. Not only that, but this was slated for a February release. Could be a placeholder, but I’m not sure

    True. I’ll have to get in contact with EB Games to figure out how much it actually was. Regardless, it doesn’t seem to add up to me

    I’m also not certain if a price hike makes sense on this set. Deluxes are now $33 CAD. I know that an extra $10 was likely allotted for accessories, but you’d think they’d have made enough off the original Refraktor, Scrapface, and the 1st run if the reconnaissance pack to keep it at the same price. Idk, I could just be talking out my ass, but I just don’t think it makes sense for them to reissue the set

    The set got a $4 price increase here in the states for the reissue.

    As to why Hasbro chose to reissue this set, I couldn’t tell you.

    This set, ER Alicon, Selects Black Roritchi, SS Battle Damaged Megatron, and SS VW Bee and TLK Bee have all been selected to be reissued for release this year.

    Oh, really? I hadn’t heard that

    I’m still reserving hope that it’s the supposed reformatted Galvatron, or even something cooler

    This pleases me immensely. Any word on where/when the figure will be available.
