    I asked an associate at my Walmart, they said that Cosmos would get a restock on the 16th of this month. I don't know if it will be a solid case of him or just a general restock of the velocitron collection, either way I think this will be the best chance for me to get Cosmos.

    This is going to be easier to get through imports isn't it?

    Buddies, there really is a demand for the "door stop"! Not to mention his design really knocks it out of the park!

    Oh, no, I know a ton of people want Cosmos (shoot, I would too if I didn't already have his older Legends-class mold), I just felt myself crumbling to dust after realizing T30 was eight years ago :lol

    I feel dumb asking this, but I didn't have much luck Googling it, so I'm just going to ask you guys: if I wanted to buy one of these, how would I go about it? Does TT Mall do international shipping? Sorry, I'm a bit clueless on importing, never had any reason to do so, but I feel like with store exclusives, I should at least know my options.

    You have to use a proxy service, for a fee. They'll buy item, store, and then ship when you're ready. Tenso and Zenmarket are examples.

    Same applies for Hasbro's official Taobao site. They no longer have an Aliexpress site, which used to ship to US. Superbuy and Pandabuy are proxy examples for that.

    Its just baffling that the figure they made the biggest deal out of in their live stream which is the first ever deluxe cosmos something that they been trying to figure out how to do for years and only to put one per case

    I noticed that the term "Ancient Time Universe" is used instead of "Diaclone Universe" in Burnout's bio.
    Was there any inconvenience in using "Diaclone"?

    Out of curiosity I googled "Diaclone" and it's currently an active medical laboratory in France, it's possible using Diaclone trademarks would have meant using a different name in different countries and they just did this to simplify things. (Though this is the same company that has a "Robots In Disguise 2000 Universe Scourge" as a single character name so maybe 'simple' wasn't the goal.)

    Both Burnout and Clampdown say Diaclone on their box.

    As for Diaclone “not being available”… Takara still releases Diaclone brand figures. They have for several years.

    If it was up to Mark or Evan, I don't think Cosmos would be an exclusive.

    Even if they still had to make it an exclusive you would think they would make him at least 2 per case

    I love when Sakamoto is goofy instead of pervy.

    I suspect that a Nightbird from SS86 Arcee is coming (and it should since that version of the mould is the best by far). Still disappointed they didn't make a more appropriate headsculpt for Burnout.
