Have there been a Selects figure not available through Pulse?

Edit: Nevermind, you mean the reveal.

I don't think so, but hopefully there will be a little clarification. Do these online retailers get absolute exclusivity, or just first release of these toys?

I remember with Lancer and Galactic Man, I think EE had first release at SDCC last year, and Pulse got it 3 or 4 months later...

Inferno would be my guess for selects if the earth rise rumor of only three waves is true.

Earthrise is confirmed to have 4 waves, if only 1 or 2 items in that wave, like how PotP only new item in wave 4 was Novastar... Inferno is slated for Kingdom

Inferno is rumoured to be a Kingdom release.

Shackwave and Lancer were both available on Pulse during SDCC while EE was selling them, they just had limited stock because most of it seemingly went to EE at the time, so most of the users here who ordered them from Pulse got them later because of that.

There was one Selects figure that was never sold on Pulse though: RED WING.

Inferno is supposedly in Kingdom Wave 1 according to the credible leaks.
EDIT: Ninja'd twice over.

There's also new rumours stating that Earthrise is only going to be three waves with Kingdom potentially hitting when Siege wave 5 was out. Its dubious but I can sorta see it

I thought it said KINGDOM was only going to be 3 waves, with wave 1, yes to hit late 2020.....

Kingdoms inferno could be beast wars inferno. I'd like a selects artfire but that seems like it could be a netflix wave 3 thing with the Netflix voyagers including battlemasters.

Nah the rumour was specifically G1 Inferno.

O.Supreme@ I could have sworn it said Earthrise was three waves:-?

Both the credible Kingdom leaker AND In-Demand Toys have said that Earthrise only has 3 waves and Kingdom starts in December.

The leak was specifically G1 Inferno from the ER Grapple mold, the leaker was specific for that exact potential confusion. So far BW Inferno being in Kingdom is actually up in the air because of it, because people seem to think getting two Infernos in one line will be "too confusing" even though we've had multiple Optimus figures in almost every recent line.

I would also love a Selects Artfire though, that would probably be the only one that interests me. That color scheme is great.

My bad, you are correct about the rumor, but the rumor itself must be incorrect, because we have this:

and we know Runabout is a standard release assumed for ER wave 4 (possibly the only release) to complete the map.

Yet the credibal leaker will be wrong about core optimus prime if it is Bat mode/ Optimus primal unless hasbro is just calling the bat prime instead of primal -so I still think beast wars infernos due to appear in Kingdom especially if beast Wars Scorponok does.

Personally I am still hoping for a 'Nightbeat' release. The thrilling 30 release I wasn't a fan of. I would love a more G1 accurate and up to date Nightbeat.

That would be nice, I'd buy it. The Thrilling 30 one never really screamed Nightbeat to me. Of course, It didn't really help I didn't really like the mold to begin with.

The difference is that there is no confusion with multiple Optimus Prime toys because Optimus Prime is still Optimus Prime, while Inferno is not Inferno (despite Dawn of the Predacus's stupid implications).

If we can get Optimus Prime and Optimus Primal in PotP, I'm sure we could get Inferno and Predacon Inferno in Kingdom. I thought that so far we've only seen Beast Wars season one characters, though?

Optimus Prime has always looked roughly the same with every toy he gets, but the name "Inferno" has been applied to other designs outside of the usual Fire Truck, like the ant and a Mini-Con missile truck from Armada.

Nothing a prefix can't solve...

Haha NO.

For clarification, I am WAY more interested in getting Predacon Inferno than G1 Inferno and will be upset if we don't, but I also don't trust Hasbro to not do something stupid and exclude him because the G1 guy is "higher profile" and having them both will be "confusing", or something. I want to be proven wrong in this instance.

...Inferno is a Season 1 character. That's why he's being discussed, because the leaker has only seen Season 1 characters but has also only seen the first wave or two in the line, so a number of them are only assumed to be coming right now and Inferno is the only one that could be potentially problematic.

Runabout is actually suspected to be a Target exclusive, not a retail figure, and that map is so far the only evidence that Wave 4 actually exists, so if it's counting the exclusives for ER as their own wave or it's just outdated/based on plans for the line that got dropped then it could very easily be out the window.

Guaranteed to sell out by 12:05 pm each Tuesday.

Hasbro Pulse and online specialty retailer items are completely different than those from Wal-Mart and Target. I understand why people are upset, but this is a different thing. Pulse has sold out of several that were announced a few weeks ago, but nearly all are still offered by BBTS.

BW Inferno is from Season 1.

I, on the other hand, want a G1 Inferno. Hopefully we both get what we want.
