    Yep, I guess all of these e-Hobby card drops need to have one out-there character choice. Not that I'm complaining.

    Ugh, I wish Hasbro sold these overseas, or that at the very least they weren’t E-hobby exclusives so you could just normally import them, because they’re really cool.

    Remember reading that it was Bruticus and being pleasantly surprised it wasn't G1 Bruticus. Loving the AM Shockwave too.

    I mean, Jhiaxus and G2 Prime, Menasor and Superion, Astrotrain and Broadside make decent enough sense as pairing (it’s really Iguanus and RID Bruticus throwing me off). Unless you mean general character choices, in which case this lineup is very consistent with the choices of the other waves.

    Is anyone aware of any other online vendors offering these outside of Japan?

    I just love how these cards are reminiscent of old school japanese prism cards. Quite pricy though

    I'd be interested in the Soundwave, Bludgeon and Octopunch keyrings if they were easily obtainable to the UK.

    Heck would get the other 3 too if it meant I could get those first 3 I'm interested in.

    I’m not much at all into the whole SD look, but those keychains are actually pretty nice. More so the G1 characters than the pretenders (Bludgeon is good, but Octo Punch and Stranglehold are a bit too generic looking IMO), but all six still retain their personality despite being deformed.

    And let’s face it, about $17 per pack of three is a pretty dang good price.

    Talk to me like I'm a total dingus - is there an easy way to get these in the States? I deffo want those Hero Optimus & Jhiaxus cards, and I wouldn't turn down that AM Shockwave keychain if given the chance.

    WHAT THE FUDGE RID Bruticus!?!? The lineups so far have been kind of random but REALLY, kind of wonder what randomness the next wave(if there is one) will bring.

    Only one I know of is BBTS. As far as I'm aware they've carried all of the other card releases as well as those acrylic stands, so it's a good shot they'll have the cards and keychains this time around as well.

    Previous cards for pricing reference and in case anyone was interested:
