Why would they? It's the exact same toy but without the extra bits. Plus, Siege Shockwave is basically worthless because it was over-produced.

AAaaaaannnnnnnnndddddd eBay proves me wrong.

Although I still really don’t like the ER Megatron head sculpt…. It’s too small/narrow…. Or I guess the face sculpt should’ve been smaller.
I don’t know that I like the metallic paints on Soundwave.
And with this, I’m completely convinced this character needs a new mold—
for the love of God that stupid-ass landing gear on the forearms and lack of covers…
I mean that’s not the only issue I have with this mold, but for me those forearms are such eyesores.
I never bought Siege Shockwave…
So if I do get this set, I may end up being one who sells off that Megatron.

I agree so much on the need for forearm covers. That, plus no wrist-swivels on a lot of figures, and budget be damned, the extra nickel or even dime it would cost them is not an excuse. The bean counters have gotten out of hand with the hollowness, lack of paint and lack of articulation. Most of these figures could be near perfect with those things. I would bet the designers are frustrated as well. Now the clear plastic on joints or even windows needs to go too, and that may be on the designers. It doesnt look good to see a bunch of kibble crammed in there through the windows. Maybe I am in the minority, but I do not like the clear windows.

As usual with most Japanese exclusives.
But for this here Canadian, my only real option is to pre-order from Amazon.jp if it appears over there.
Pulse charge a premium and their shipping costs are ludicrous.
Yes. It's only Canadian shipping that costs extra when ordering from Pulse.Nemesis Destron wrote:-Kanrabat- wrote:sol magnus wrote:Sabrblade wrote:It's possibly also a Japanese exclusive rather than a normal Hasbro item.

That sounds like some suck ass crap to deal with. I've never ordered from Pulse, is the shipping pretty fair here in the states?

Only going on anecdotal evidence from here and a few other places, it seems like is leaving money on the table. Surely they would make more working out, at least, a discount for Pulse collectors club or whatever its called.

Exact same toy?
If the colors stay like that through to production then it's more of a toy accurate figure than the Siege version. I think the new one is a much better looking figure. It is weird that they're selling this as a cartoon set, but going for toy colors on all 3.

For Shockwave it was the purple, the lighter Siege colors are closer to the cartoon than the darker "Capture" colors that look more toy accurate. For Megatron it really comes down the shininess, at best cartoon Megatron looked like a well polished gray, not the chrome appearance of the original and new figures. And for Soundwave, yes, the purple isn't toy accurate, but the use of metallic gold and silver instead yellow and gray like the cartoon feels specifically toy based.
Granted, animation limitations and all that, but I see what I see.

Wait.
