    While I paid 20 for the set, I would have paid 30 for the Weapon Pack and found it a deal even WITHOUT Centurion Guard. 3rd Parties would sell two of these pieces for 5 to 10 bucks. 30 is still a great deal just for these cool pieces.

    Official weapon packs is an idea long overdue...Hasbro's finally going to start collecting all that money that's been left on the proverbial table.

    And I want more energon cubes.

    It actually goes back to 1997. The "A Real American Hero" line started in 1982 and finished in 1987. The attempted reboots (Sgt. Savage, G.I. Joe Extreme) failed, but in 1997 Hasbro convinced Toys R Us to take a small line of repaints of classic Joes (since 1997 was technically the fifteenth anniversary of ARAH). Sadly a few figure molds Hasbro wanted to use for the 1997 line were missing, like the v1 Destro from 1983. So they opted to use the v3 Destro from 1992. Basically they made most of the red parts of 1992 Destro black (like the huge color) and the black parts mostly became "red" (actually a mauve/purple-ish color). Apparently there was a very rare variant of 1997 Destro with the leopard pattern on the collar and legs. And apparently this was a joke or something on the designers part since it wasn't intended to make it to retail. And in 2007 they did a homage to that variant as a Comic Con exclusive (which had its own variants, with silver or gold head). I think that was when it got the nickname "Pimp Daddy Destro" (but that might have happened earlier).

    Well, Pulse has screwed me over once again. Apparently they no longer ship to Puerto Rico fml. I really wanted that weapons pack that comes with a bonus Weaponizer... :(

    Yeah I had seen a banner at the top of their website that they had temporarily suspended shipping to PR and other places, but since its no longer there I thought they had resumed it.

    I really hope they don't cancel my Super Megatron pre order and much less my Haslab Unicron!!

    I was wondering. I like the extra weapons from the Centurion. Anyone just want the Centurion?

    Thank you. It is taking a lot of effort to resist buying PDD.

    Is there an ETA on Pulse's shipping during COVID? Placed an order a few days ago for in-stock items and they haven't shipped yet.

    It's been a few weeks since my last Seacons shipment, but 5-7 days sounds about right. Practically overnight once shipped, but their warehouse does seem limited at present.

    Oddly I ordered a Luke that was in stock on the 23rd, shipped on the 25th. That was crazy fast compared to eaelier which was more like others 2-5 days.

    I think it'd be cool to get little Spike, Chip, Sparkplug, & Carly figurines. Kremzeeks would be dope as well. Repair tools for Ratchet and Wheeljack would be neat. Some sports balls would be pretty funny too.

    There's just soooo much Hasbro can do with these accessory bundles, I'm just happy they're finally doing them.

    Looks like Tigertrack and Rotorstorm have sold out of their pre-orders on Pulse. Centurion is still available at this time.
