I think they look great. Those new feet improved the ER van mold 100%. And I always love me some SG Prime. The Thanos of Transformers. Great job

Hey thanks!

I really recommend those feet. They are simple to use and it's the best version to fix that baffling omission for those Siege remolds. They even transform and are fully painted.

I have and like the Siege mold for Ratchet and Ironhide, so won't need the feet. I like the robot mode much better, and for my collection that takes priority over vehicles.

Pulse just charged me for Cyclonus and Nightstick, hopefully I'll have them by this weekend.

Oh, the actual Siege mold needs to keep their OG feet. They just feel out of place on the ER vehicles. Still, those feet don't convey the classic look of the bot mode. Same thing if you color the windows of the rest of the vehicles.

It's all about priorities.

I got a notice from Pulse overnight that I was charged for Cyclonus and Nightstick, so anyone in the US, look out, he's coming on time

I just received my Generations Select Cyclonus and Nightstick. At a first glance i am definitely loving the darker color versus the Kingdom version.

SGM

EDIT: i just did a quick comparison with the Kingdom version. Also to note the left arm at the shoulder is very loose. It wont even hold up Nightstick. Not sure if anyone else has had this issue with their copy I just wanted to mention it.

I'm sure that if you'd lick it, it would taste like candy grape and your tongue would turn purple.

It just might actually do that

Selects Cyclonus looks great! Enjoy what I'll never have. (Pulse shipping sucks, so I got a Laser Prime instead)

Pulse shipping isn't great, but reasonable enough to make it work for me for SG and selects. If you are in the US, shipping will be $6.99 whether you order a single core class figure, a titan or multiple figures. So I just wait until I have about 6 or 7 figures to order so its only about a buck per item. Granted, they will charge you the full shipping on the first item, but then you are only charged for the remaining items when they ship.

If I do happen to find Selects Cyclonud in person like I did with Artfire ( at a Game Stop). I'll get it. I just can't see spending nearly $50 on this ( after tax & shipping) when I got Artfire for $30

Wish some one would have mentioned that before. I might actually do that, thanks. ;)^

It's been about a year since anything actually Shipped to me from Pulse because other places got items in stock sooner, and for lower cost, but I thought any order over $50 qualified for free shipping? I think the last items that shipped to me from Pulse we're the Selects Volcanicus and Abominus sets. Those shipped about 2 months apart, but neither had a shipping cost attached, just sales tax.

They discontinued the $50 free shipping because people kept abusing an exploit in the way it was implemented by "ordering" extra items to reach the 50 mark, earning the free shipping, then on the checkout screen before paying canceling the extra items they didn't want while retaining the free shipping bonus to get free shipping on a <$50 order.

Then all they had to do was fix that glitch instead of nixing the free $50 shipping altogether.

So I got in toy colors Cyclonus and the colors are even better in person. He will definitely be my main Cyclonus bumping the Kingdom version to "Armada" status. He is definitely a bit iffy on the QC. Both shoulders on mine had issues, one with the forward/back rotation and the other with the outward extension being too loose to hold up the arm let alone a weapon. Both were fortunately easy to improve enough to hold a pose by tightening the screws in the back of the shoulders. They are still a bit loose, but can at least hold the pose now. The flip side of QC is his wing joints are extremely tight.

The only other issue I had was the sticker sheet being almost ruined by the packaging. Some of the tape used to tape down the ties attached itself to the sticker side of the sticker sheet and I nearly ripped a sticker just trying to separate it from the cardboard. Of course it didn't help when I pulled the tape off the cardboard first, accidentally let go and it landed all over the rest of the sticker sheet. I was somehow able to separate everything with all the stickers intact on the sheet, so whew there.

Yeah, when I got mine in late may, I noted that BOTH shoulders on mine are seriously loose as are the hips. Bloomin' annoying for such an expensive figure.

Coo. I got him in May. Page 278

Maybe I'll just stick with the old chug Cyclonus!
