About Star Saber, one thing that could be amazing is a TITAN CLASS set. Meaning a 2 pack of Commander Star Saber and Commander Victory Leo. Both able to combine with all the features. That would be the best.

I just got a notification from Pulse that they're about to charge me for the Spy Patrol 3rd wheel unit. The Frumbles will soon be reunited and it'll feel so good. :x

Same here. If they ship out Saturday with the last 2 Seacons, that will pretty much confirm my suspicions that Pulse is only shipping over the weekends. (My last 3 orders all shipped late Saturday/early Sunday.)

I know this isn't the Pulse Premium thread, but the best I could find is this one: Hasbro Pulse Extending Premium Membership For Subscribed Users As Part Of First Year Anniversary

Anyway, did anyone else take the survey Hasbro sent out on Pulse Premium? My stand out talking point is that they asked about the possibility of comping the sub based on purchase amount. That is if I understood the question correctly. Honestly, I'm not sure if I'd spend any more at Pulse than I already am even with that carrot dangled in front of me.

I'm going cross post and expand on the thread linked above to not derail this one.

In that thread they don't seem to understand that free Pulse shipping over $50 is for pre-orders as well, does not matter the release date. I've cancelled then re-ordered an item that ain't shipping for months just to make the current order hit $50 and haven't had a problem yet. Personally, there is no way I would go anywhere else for Selects, as the markup can be ridiculous. No idea how much a Premium Sub to Pulse would be worth though, only time I wanted it was when they had the time-based NYCC pre-orders and Premium subs had 8 hours or so before everyone else.

I coped this over to the other thread, but considering this is the Selects thread.

I agree on Selects, Pulse is the best place to nab those and where I've gotten all of mine that were not exclusive to other stores. The one exception being Cromar that I got from deep discounts at an absolute steal. Cromar was never on my radar, but I have a hard time walking past crazy deals.

Can't beat a steal. And how could you not want that lovely clown face Cromar has.

While Hasbro sent an email about preparing Spy Patrol 3 for shipment, they didn't send anything about Kraken or Lobclaw. Yet this morning I have charges for all three. No complaints, glad all are about to ship. They still have Turtler in stock but I was only able to grab 3 of the 5 limbs so I don't really need another torso... Not sure if I want to pay a markup to get Overbite or Tentakil. My Seacons will probably become part of my Terrorcons "extended family", like my brother's sister's cousins or something.

Edit: I guess Turtler sold out too so now I don't feel so bad.

Motto: "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes"
Its quite possible that once the last 2 ship from HP, they will have a few in stock, as was the case with the other 2 waves (though the limbs sold out in short order). I'm keeping a very close eye on this, and if they do get any in stock, I'm definitely jumping on them and cancelling my TFSource pre-order

Although it has always puzzled me, ever since CW. One would think Hasbro would produce far less Voyagers because while a few may want them as stand alone toys, lets be honest, the idea is to get the whole set of combiners. I remember holiday season 2016 when so many aftermarket stores were clearing out CW Voyagers for $10.

Even to this day, on eBay, CW Deluxe Limbs are far more valuable than the Voyager Torso's. One would think, if you were going to produce more than 1/5 for the Voyagers, it wouldn't be much more, but oh well.

I don't remember this problem back in the Original Series days, of course unless you were a rich kid, you never got a full combiner anyway, just random parts here and there ;)
Bucket/Want List: Botcon 2016 Customization Class Ratchet (G2 Deco), or Customization Class Ratchet (Marvel Comics Deco) **would also be willing to pay for an Unpainted Botcon 2016 Ratchet, TT Legends Fortress Head (only) with working Electronics

Wish List of Modern Combiners: Road Caesar, Monstructor & Dinoking (proper size to fiction), Landcross, Guard City, Battle Gaia, & G2 Defensor. Wish List of Titans:Metrotitan,Majin Zarak

Looks like Saturdays are Hasbro Pulse's shipping days. Just got my notification for Tentakill, should be getting Overbite and the Spy Patrol as well today.

I hope they have some more Turtlers in stock. Didnt have the cash when he was in stock and then the day I do he turns sold-out. That is the only one of the Seacons I want.

Kinda weird, I got my ship notification for Tentakill this morning, but still no word on Overbite or the Spy Patrol yet. At least I'll have a full set of limbs if the other 2 are delayed.

I don't know, FedEx Is being weird too. Gulf was supposed to show up yesterday according to tracking and never did. Woke up today and tracking said delivery today until about 2 pm when it changed to in transit. The item arrived in my city Thursday morning so no idea why it has not been delivered.

I don't usually have issues with FedEx. My Pulse orders still tend to arrive the day before they're due if they're shipped early in the morning. The Energon Omega Supreme they dropped off Saturday was due on Monday.

My orders of the first two Seacons and the tapes have all been billed, do I'm expecting them to ship out on Monday. I'm close to a distribution center, so I'll have them early next week. Still checking Overbite and Tentakill everyday to see if they'll be available again.

Maybe I was too anxious, but FedEx delivered today. Gulf/Skalor showed up with all the extra Takara packaging. I must say, this figure definitely feels fancier than the PotP Terrorcons. The figure feels beefier and the hand is so much nicer than the PotP and Combiner Wars hands were. Even the little pop-out piece where you could a Prime Master looks better than the stock ones.
