While I'd really like that Prime, I don't care for Megatron (like I suspect 80% us feel) but I'd get it on the cheap.

I DID order myself a Death's Head though!

I ordered the set which means that Optimus will be released on its own further down the line.

Talking to Mr Murphy?

I feel this.

I also ordered one. I never got the Megatron/Ratbat so the retool is new to me [such that it is] and I think I only have 2 of that base mold so far, but it’s really only Prime I am excited for

I'd be very surprised that this set sell out quickly. Especially at that price.

Oh, so these were available then? When I tried to order him everything but the TF 2 pack (which I got) says "coming soon" and available for pre-order Tuesday at 11am EST. I guess they're spreading out the orders, Monday was available now and Tuesday will be pre-orders for a later date?

I did, yes. Even got the email that it's dispatched today.

I see it's sold out now on Pulse UK. That's kinda crazy.

I got my set. I also got Death's Head!

Not sure why the complaints on price, 2 voyagers is $35 x 2 = $70, and Prime has been heavily retooled and quite frankly made larger, so the extra $5 to me is justified there.

The price is relatively standard, not much of a premium. It just looks expensive because most of us only want half its content

So I was able to get Death's Head ordered. I then thought I'd try for Cobra Commander since the front page said he was available for pre-order and I love the movie and they'll probably never do this again... but as of 11:05am he was sold out. Damn that was fast! I don't really care about missing out, but I'm surprised it was gone faster than the front page could update so soon after the pre-order sales started.

You can add the high shipping cost for non-premium members, then the exchange rate, then the taxes for us Canadians...

The shipping is all that is different from any release here.

Also, didnt Pulse change to have a cheaper flat rate shipping for Canadians since November?

That, I didn't check.

Still, most Pulse exclusives find their way at GameStop Canada eventually, or at some other independent stores at a regular price.

Also, everything that is remotely interesting at Pulse get insta-sold out, no matter if you're Premium or not.

Really, the only thing that is truly worth it at pulse, IMO, are the HASLAB, who are truly exclusive.

As expected, this 2 pack is now available at some Canadian independent shops for a very reasonable 90$CAN plus tax(es) and shipping.

I expect GameStop Canada to have it in stock soon too.

Death's Head arrived today and the whole package is pretty gorgeous, with lovely art on the side panels. I'm kinda tempted to leave him in box and I rather regret not picking up two when I had the chance.

Got my figures. Pax and Megs are cool, but Death's Head is such a beauty. He's bigger than I expected, but that's great. I adore him. Well done!

i think he will go on my Wreckers shelf

Thanks to ToySnowman I managed to get two more Death's Heads. One to keep in box and another to potentially convert into his original armour. What a fantastic figure he is!
