Every Selects figure on Pulse that was offered during Siege has come back in stock since then, they're all still available, so if you're willing to wait I'm inclined to believe it'll pay off. If you'd rather get them preordered and not have to worry about it though, DrX's suggestion of BBTS is probably your best bet.

I wonder if Selects will start using non-bland boxes

Unlikely, the point is to save on resources when making them.

Yeah, and the fact that Selects uses brown cardboard boxes for its packaging leads me to speculate that, when Unicron comes out, he'll fall under the Selects label too since his box will also be brown cardboard.

Not to mention next year the goal is to have boxes without plastic in the packaging, so this style of packaging might be more common very soon

Just a quick update, InDemand Toys has Exhaust and Greasepit up for pre-order:



Exhaust - £22.99



Greasepit - £22.99


Both listed for release on July 10th (an imminent release, so no option for 10% deposit). No sign of either anywhere else, at time of writing.

I hear people saying the mercenary symbol looks like a Quintesson face, but all I see is the Autobot symbol with a fake beard and sunglasses.

That, I doubt. If they're ditching the acetate windows, the box graphics will be exponentially more important for catching customers' eyes. So no way are they going to put retail toys in plain brown boxes with only a faction symbol and text.

They'll probably look like the cyberbattalion figures, which are also in the generations line. That`s what I am going with.

That and non-collector lines will probably be more in the style of Cyberverse Ultra and one step figures, but without the plastic tray.

We've seen plenty of in-hand pics and reviews but I got to say, these two are pretty cool. This is the first time I've owned figures before their release, which is kinda cool. Much like the logo on Exhaust's chest, kinda cool. Bad guys wear goatees I guess. They did well on the head though, definitely looks like the Masterpiece so no confusing him and Wheeljack. Greasepit's colors are awesome and once I finish clearing a small shelf I plan on setting him and Ironworks up with a Soundbarrier in between and some Micromasters. Needless to say, Megalopolis.TV came through

While I do understand saving up on Selects boxes by having them being plain cardbox, I don’t understand why they can’t at least add the names to the print, not even stylized just add SOMETHING to them!

Print design reuse. That also helps logistically; when a new deco is designed the box part can be skipped.

I'm guessing these will be widely available this weekend for the original SDCC date

Yeah that's my assumption.

When did you order from Megalopolis, and how long did it take to get them?

I bought mine (listed as "in-stock," NOT pre-orders) on July 2nd, and I haven't gotten so much as a shipping notice.

Interesting, I ordered mine on July 3rd, with the listing saying in-stock as well, and I received notification of shipment on July 9th with delivery July 11th. They are in Utah and I'm Arizona so that explains the quick shipment. This is my first time using them so I may have been very lucky.

Using some help from Mad Project, I got Seawing into backpack formation, and I like it! Helps balance out the combiner lean, and clears up the arms for proper weapons use. I think this will be my configuration for king P.

Selects shockwave galaxy man $30 at megalopolis toys, I've neever ordered from them, nor likely to because overseas customs* but seems a bargain for those over the pond. Cheaper than the retail release so barggggain.

How does Seawing attach?

Take off the big back cannons, and use Tentakil and Gulf's guns to attach him

Just saw this and if it is true then holy crap I am getting Tracks and Road Rage! Plus whatever the heck a Power Master Megatron could be. Probably Red Alert too.

I'm VERY skeptical of this... Runabout has an Earthrise listing, and the leaker that initially leaked Beast Wars in Kingdom (and the name Kingdom, and Slag and Daniel for Studio Series 86) has already said that his source said that neither the Commander (and Titan) Class figure for Kingdom will be Beast Wars related. I still expect Hauler though given his inclusion in the Hall of Fame vote.

I'd definitely get two of Road Rage if that happens though! One for Road Rage purposes, one to customize into a G1 styled Prime Knockout based on this image:

Probably just PotP Optimal Optimus with Megatron's face like from Beast Machines if it's real. It would fit in with Kingdom anyway.

Sentinel_Primal wrote:I'm VERY skeptical of this... Runabout has an Earthrise listing

How many Siege figures have Earthrise listings?

I'm skeptical as well, I'd like to see the actual source (store computers, previously correct anonymous source) instead of a list of things written over a picture of Hauler. As far as I can remember Hasbro has never used "WFCT", that's a fan thing. Hasbro uses WFC-S and WFC-E, and certainly WFC-K.

Yeah, probably fake but I hope it's got a hint of truth just cause of all the good characters listed.
