Not true, Takara Tomy does these short pre-order windows on their Takara Tomy Mall exclusives on a regular basis. The most recent one for Transformers was Siege Nemesis Prime which was only available from 9/13 to 10/15. TT dictates the pre-order period and availability so the only way these are getting second runs on Hasbro Pulse is if Takara Tomy Mall gives them a second run. These also have a different numbering system with Hasbro listing them as "TT" for Takara Tomy (as in Star Convoy's TT-GS01).

The the delays are not just with Japanese selects, Blackarachnia just got released despite being released in Japan in November, Hound should have been released in December but has been delayed to March along side Smokescreen + which should have been released now.

I waiting for the Giftset to come out. So far the use of the Silverbolt mold is amazing.

It was likely to make sure you weren't thinking that it would have a UW style box as many were hoping for.

I was hoping to just get all six. Anything else you need to add?

What/when is/was the preorder open for all six at once? Might be another way of those who missed out to get them (might even mean some people that could only order a few of the figures have to order the whole set just to get them too).

Sadly at their prices they are out of what I would consider paying for them as they would have to be a similar price to UW Devy for me to justify them. Until then the g1 resissue sits with the combiner wars combiners -he took a hit from a shrink ray rather than my wallet taking the hit.

Rumor is it may be a Japan only thing...either way I'll get them

It is, actually, only via TakaraTomy Mall. Makes me wonder what other online stores will do once they get stock from that: keep the set as one or split them up.

Hobbylink Japan and Amazon Japan will always be a good place to start or proxy seller sites.

Do HLJ and/or Amazon Japan even carry TTM exclusives?

Yes...Amazon Japan had individual sellers that will and ship to the US. I just recently bought the Big Powered set for about $120 shipped.

Third party sellers can sell them on Amazon Japan. Just like you might find a third party seller selling a Walmart exclusive toy on Amazon.com.

Stop and think of what you said...obviously you don't know the difference form buying from a true Japanese seller than some e-tailer who uses Walmart, Target, and major retailers online space to sell. You people here are truly obnoxious and pretentious and don't know jack. Do y'all here really buy toys or just run your mouths. In the 15 years I have been on this website the same 5 people post like they know everything. Look when the figures comes out I and others who procure items will have it and I'll post pictures so y'all can shut up.

I feel like what you just said is probably at least 10 times as obnoxious then anything they said.

Is there a difference between "Muh authentic Japanese toy sellers" and some third party seller? Their both selling the same product so why does it matter?

These guys do indeed know what their talking about when it comes to getting toy products William especially.

Maybe you should stop and think about what your saying in this regard that maybe they do know what their talking about.

I thought about it. If you’re offended by my post good I said it. I meant it and I stand by it.

Ok but why say it at all then, no one was on the offensive against you and were just trying to be informative with answers such on the whole unlikely hood of a 6 pack outside of possible specific sources which if I read right are only rumors and where to alternatively get the figures outside of direct retailers.

Rumors until confirmed are not something you want to be banging your buck for, what if there is no 6 pack what then for you?

So this is all coming across as you insulting people for no reason, am I offended? No, but that doesn't change the fact that people should be careful with their words as well as just not insulting others in general when their trying to be helpful.

That's not a reason to be rude and outright inflammatory. If you didn't care for their opinions the proper response it to ignore them, or simply say, "no thanks." What you did was out of line and it's not accepted here.

On the one hand I'm really bummed out as I was looking forward to getting them this month....

On the other hand....my credit card let out a sigh of relief.

But it’s ok for you’re friends to make asinine statements. Cool I get it.

What asinine statements do they say? They didn't say anything false or rude, your the sole aggressor in this conversation.

The guy's a moderator, kinda their job to enforce the rules and all.

Deadput - Do us all a favour and stop injecting yourself into arguments you were NEVER part of. I'm sick and tired of it.

bvzxa - You're not breaking any rules, but your posts have been brought to the attention of staff, so you know, tone it down a bit please?

(FYI, check the rules before reporting posts please)

Either way if they come in separate boxes, Japan, Takara, but not China I will buy them. I just want all six all at once. That I shall do.
