You might be at this point. Mine is still showing a December 15 release date along with Galvatron

Why can't they push up Pulsecon Zartan too?

Well, it turns out they didn't push him up. I looked at the wrong SKU number. Mine says 12/01. Sorry, false alarm.

As for Zartan, I have him. My Emperor, though, was a preorder for February(!!!).

This is getting really lopsided, looking forward to Starscream and Jetfire evening things out. Though Jetfire will probably be an Autobot so...



Also his tank mode is kinda neat, you can wedge that cockpit in there pretty securely without damaging anything.

One of the reasons Megatron is the most enjoyable of the line so far? His modularity with all the 5mm holes is a lot of fun for customizing and examining potential configurations

Got the email this morning that Starscream has been delayed until February.

Same. I wonder what this means for Jetfire, we've already had Goldbug skip line order. Having to wait until February to read issues 3 and 4 and possibly 5 is a little annoying, too.

Only if you can't find a comic book store.

Same. I am genuinely annoyed he got pushed that far.

I'm not paying for the same comic twice.

I guess there's that.

So I'm catching up to the few notable things that TFW leakers posted this weekend, as it was my birthday weekend and I was therefore not paying a whole lot of attention to that kind of thing, but I figured this was worth sharing, for those who continuously keep debating on what mold SG Magnus is going to use: the Siege Magnus mold/tooling has allegedly had the SG Magnus skull face as it's alternate head this whole time, make of that what you will.

Now time to go cause a ruckus in the Legacy thread, ooh boy this one's gonna be a thing....

I didn't think it was really up for debate anyway. In the comic the silhouette is that of Siege Magnus, and they don't do these toy/comic combinations without planning all that out in advance.

The Silhouette could have been the Kingdom version of the mold, too, as they're both similar enough.

As for the debate, though, people were holding onto hope that it could be the new Legacy Laser Optimus mold.

Technically it still could as there may have been a last minute decision to change molds (depending on where Shattered Glass UM was in production of course). Not like it would be the first time we've seen it happen.

As long as it has the skull face, I really don't care what mold it uses

Goldbug. Still wish and think he should have been a Runamuck or SS86 Hot Rod retool. On the plus side, the last pic I think will become his default weapons configuration, I am happy with it

Picked up a SG Starscream from EBGames and cancelled by Pulse preorder. I got him mainly because he's a Seeker, but I have to admit to liking him more in person than in photos. A lot of the same flaws are there (the paint apps just being there and not corresponding to panels or parts), but the white is nice and vibrant. Kinda like him despite myself.

Pulse is charging for Jetfire now! No shipping notice yet, hopefully be here by the weekend.

I just got the "order has left" email less than an hour ago. Not sure how long until he gets here, as shipping has been slow since the holiday.

I got a shipping notice for Starscream today, thankfully no more delays and he'll be with me this week. Unfortunately payment has been taken at a time whe I don't have a lot of money to spare, several days before my next pay day.

Starscream? I didn't get any notice for Starscream.

Munkky ordered through Pulse UK, which has had different dates for the releases compared to Pulse US, this came up earlier in the thread. They got Megatron before the rest of us too.

Welp, my Jetfire shipped without so much as a warning email. guess he'll be here Saturday

I have Starscream now, this is actually my first time handling the Siege Tetrajet mould, and while I don't like it as much as the Earthrise Seeker mould it's still good. The transformation is a bit too fiddly for my liking, and I've never been a fan of the Tetrajet design, but the robot looks really nice on the shelf, especially next to Megatron.
