Yeah I got an email about a delay for Selects Artfire.

Ditto. I just got one for Artfire (delayed until 01/15/22). Nothing on BZ yet, though I figure that one will come closer to the expected ship date. Kind of disappointing that with basically 78 days (roughly 2 1/2 months) left on the Calendar year I will be getting zero new toys. I'd like to have the payment for these off my books prior to the end of 2021, but oh well.

Same, along with a delay for Selects Galvatron.

Weird Galvatron is the only email I've gotten from Pulse this week and I've ordered all of the Selects and SG stuff.

Got Powerdasher Zetar lately. And he's Siege Impactor's perfect partner!

That's a duo that make sense in every forms. :APPLAUSE:

I got Zetar when he first came out. But I ve seen several fans claim they obtained him from Hasbro as fan complaint/ damage control. Every time someone would call to complain about a QC issue with a toy, of course they wouldn't have another of the same toy to replace it, so it was basically "Sorry for your trouble, have a free Zetar on us" :lol:

There could definitely be worse choices though, I actually think it all 3 powerdashers were redone quite creatively.

Actually sort of grateful for the Artfire and Galvatron delays. I needed those

I wish I got a Zetar when I got my first Scourge with one of his pontoons missing. They sent me a bunch of BotBots.

That would have really irritated me personally. Usually, with Takara Tomy, if the toy was released recently, and there's a problem, then they'll send the parts. If not, I suspect they wouldn't fob me off with something akin to Botbots...

Howevet, horses for courses, I suppose.

I got an even better "replacement". Broken neck piece on Hades Megatron scythe guy. They sent me a Rescue Bots play center. :HEADHURTS:

Sent both back and just got a refund.

I really don't remember, I never even opened it. I think bumblebee's name was on it.

You guys got nothing on me. I had a busted Gen 30 Sandstorm and they sent me this:

Greetings Seibertronians!

Prime VS Prime has just posted his video review for the Transformers Generations Selects Reformatted Galvatron.

This special repaint is cast in beautiful transparent purple plastics with the key moving parts being solid opaque. The deco are precise line works in white to simulate when Unicron was reformatting Megatron into Galvatron.

But wait, THERE'S MORE! Also included with this leader, appart the "Revenge guns" and the Matrix-on-a-chain, there's 14 micro figures and 3 mini ships to scale with your HASLAB Unicron (if you have it.) If you don't have that Unicron, at least the micro figures are compatible with the Kingdom titan Ark.

You can watch the video review down below:

So, what do you think of that deco? Are you planning on getting it? Let us know!

God help me, but I'm probably going to get it.

News Credits: 100 · by **-Kanrabat-** » Sat Oct 16, 2021 1:24 pm

Even though I have no use for the HASLAB compatible bonusses, I'm very tempted to get this Galvatron. He's freaking nice! 8-)

I don't think this is supposed to be a Selects release, I believe it's just an exclusive like Ravage, but regardless, the updated Pulsecon page strongly hints this is going up for order then.

@Kanrabat link to purchase page plz :lol:

It may not be "supposed to", but it is.
Now, if it's an exclusive, I have no idea.

Between the Amazon Australia listing for this thing not saying Selects, and the noted lack of packaging in this review, I feel confident in saying this probably isn't actually a Selects and the reviewer is just saying it is because it's a stolen copy and they don't know how it's releasing people did the same thing with the Centurion Drone and Tricranius, despite the packaging for both of them labeling them as numbered releases within their respective retail lines.
