If I find that Galvatron in the wild, it will be hard to resist.

Do Hasbro PulseCon exclusives usually show up "in the wild" (and for reasonable prices)?

So far, most Pulse exclusives has been popping up at Canadian GameStop. So the possibility is there.

Did the Quintesson Pit of Judgement ever show up?

There is a difference between mere Pulse exclusives and those that are specifically PulseCon exclusives.

That Pit never shown, but I rule nothing out.

Hilariously, the Legacy Galvatron at least seems to have that muted color palette going by the photos I've seen. If this turns out to be in fact the case (we already know the paint for the fuel or whatever is gone), that will be by FOURTH (!!!!) Galvatron.

I have also decided that if the Legacy version is in fact a more muted, less Red-Violet color, I will get it. Especially having sans battle damage paint apps... That will be enough of an improvement of his appearance to make it worth it for me.

In Canada they do.

Well I just checked GameStop. While BZ doesn't seem to be in store anywhere, it is finally in stock on their website, and is the original price of $159.99 (not the $169.99 that Pulse jacked it up to later). So I was able to still redeem my GS coupons and got it for pretty good deal. I have no idea when Pulse will be getting theirs (the last date they are showing me was 3/1), but I should have it in a few days, and for a little less than Pulse. I am so happy I can finally cancel that pre-order and actual have this guy in hand.

So I now have nothing on pre-order with Pulse, other than of course Haslab VS which was already paid for upon the end of the campaign.

I will note that pulse does honor price at time of preorder regardless of interim price changes. My BZ preorder is still listed as 159.99, and in the past have had pulse honor even erroneously listed prices, having gotten the centurion weapons pack for 20 instead of the intended 30 from ordering in the first couple of hours when they had the wrong price up.

I had the same locked in price. It's just that once Pulse raises their price, so do most online retailers. GameStop didn't, and I had coupons, and it's on stick right now. So win/win. I didnt have to worry about a new order with another store with a price increase.

Pulse says Black Zarak should be shipping soon on their website/my order page. Now I gotta start making some room.

i got my Lift Ticket in. I didn't get Hoist, so the hoist tooling is new to me. I am lukewarm on him. The colors are nice, but the joints, and specifically the shoulders on mine, are loose and he isn't able to hold a pose very well. QC I think is hurting him some, but otherwise he is pretty ok.

Sorry to hear that. My copy has no issues. Tight joints. Looks better in person than I thought.

Quadruple dittos. I compared with BBTS and Pulse is saving me a few bucks.

Honestly I'm really excited to see you guys get to enjoy your Black Zaraks and see some in hand pics! The hype is real :lol:

MY BZ shipped from GameStop's warehouse in Fort Worth TX on Tuesday, was supposed to arrive today, but got delayed at a distribution center about 2 hours away from where I live, so it now is delayed until tomorrow. oh well...still faster, and cheaper than pulse. Because I am on the west coast, it usually takes about 10 days from the time I am charged until it arrives at my door. GS was considerably faster with regards to shipping/handling.

Any other here ordered from Age 3 & Up?
Having no news is a bit concerning.

It looks like the Legacy Galvatron has that muted color palette. If that's what's really happening that will get bought...again.

Is the one on the right the TT Legends version of YR Galvatron? If so, I never realized there was such a difference. Also BZ is out for delivery. :DANCE:

. I'm hoping to post pics later
