    That’s pretty shitty. I can see why you’d be annoyed.

    It's not due out until October, unfortunately.

    Retailers are taking pre-orders now and hopefully we will start to see these packs roll out on a monthly basis starting with Optimus Primal vs. Megatron due in August, followed by Rhinox vs. Scorponok in September.

    They are Japanese products, but I don't believe they are being exclusively carried by any particular Japanese retailer.

    I placed my pre-order with The Falcon's Hanger and they're cutting off pre-orders on the 6th of June.

    Big Bad Toy Store will probably keep their pre-orders open until just before their stock is due to arrive. They still have open pre-orders for the first two vs. packs.

    Seeing as Kingdom Tigatron's probably going to end up "buttercreme" colored, and I'm a sucker for Blackarachnia, I'll probably just cop this set as "insurance" to have the best versions of each mold for these two

    Hadn’t realized before that Blackarachnia’s spider legs are actually completely painted and not molded in bronze. It makes sense of course.

    Sorry too late TAKARA TOMY. I already customized all my Beast wars figures and they still look better than these reissues. Where were you when i needed you? Could have saved me some time and money ages ago. Oh well!

    Take it easy, man. Just relax.

    No one can do anything here, just relax and mail Hasbro Pulse with a polite comment.

    The first line of my post: "Sorry for this rant here guys, but I'm just trying other avenues after repeated emails to Hasbro Pulse customer service have fallen on deaf ears..."

    First thing I do is apologize for it being a rant. I don't need to be told to "Take it easy, man. Just relax".

    "No one can do anything here"... I know. I'm trying "other avenues" as stated to draw attention from Hasbro/Pulse of someone who perhaps can.

    "Mail Hasbro Pulse with a polite comment"... again, in the first line of my post "after repeated emails to Hasbro Pulse customer service have fallen on deaf ears...", if by mail you do mean to suggest a paper letter via snail mail, thank you for that suggestion. If you do mean email, I have done that repeatedly. First few were very polite and have fallen on deaf ears.

    If you're trying to prove no members here can do anything, you're definitely showing that, since everything you commented is completely pointless after reading the first line of my post.
