*Hums Beast Wars theme*. Here's an idea: What if Kingdom just never ended? Give us the entire cast from all 3 Beast Wars Seasons and 2 Beast Machines Seasons, then go back and redo every character that wasn't in either show.
And then when we've had enough Beast Era, move onto 2001 RID and the Unicron Trilogy. I've really enjoyed this year's releases and I'd be distraught if Hasbro retreated back to G1 as early as next year.

Be nice if they started to ship out the Pre-Orders before selling on Ebay.

I assume Pulse shipping will be any day now, just as I assume they're using the same fulfillment teams regardless of the storefront.

Already got two of those, plus some other stuff from JRC.

Scorponok also will also mark the first time I've ever bought an upgrade kit for a Transformer. A company named So Cool have made leg extenders for his robot mode that increase the height of his thighs so he's no longer a manlet, but they do seem to mess up the scorpion mode quite a lot, so I may remove them whenever I transform him. I've also seen an upgrade kit for Tracks being advertised that fix his dodgy knee joints, I plan on buying that too.
I found this upgrade kit for Tracks that I will probably get for Road Rage if she ever drops. I follow JRC Design on Twitter and they've made some really cool stuff. My first purchase was their G2 Megatron upgrade kit.

Hasbro Pulse UK hasn't made a very good first impression. EVERYTHING is delayed 'til September. I've been using Pulse as a sort of bookmark to guarantee I'll get the figure, but the second anybody else gets it first, I Judas to the max and cancel. Why is it last to get its own produce?

Why would Hasbro get it sooner? It's not like everything going out to retailers first goes through Hasbro. Their branded site is just another storefront.
I don't have FOMO, I don't have room to unpack every order the second it comes in. It just seems like people have unrealistic expectations or take delays personally.

While everything you said is correct, the answer really is 'legal agreements.'
If Pulse got everything first, Hasbro would be direct selling to consumers AND beating all the distribution to the punch. There would be zero reason to buy toys at Walmart, Target whatsoever. Of course, there's the other idea that if Hasbro did that, those stores would have no reason to carry their product.
I use Pulse to guarantee that I get something I want, but if I find it in the store - sometimes yes, sometimes no - then I buy it in the store and depending whether or not it's something I need for my son, then I cancel or keep the pre-order. I never, however, expect to get anything from Pulse first.

I'm not usually this paranoid with pre-orders, but since its Beast Wars and after stuff like Gigawatt and Netflix Bumblebee becoming difficult/impossible to get I do whatever I can to get something in hand as soon as legally possible.
And you're right. Folk like me do expect too much of Hasbro Pulse.

I'd say the one exception to that should be Selects, since they are offered directly from Pulse. Although some other online retailers may offer them as well. One would think Pulse would get Selects first, unfortunately that isn't the case either.

That's not how any of this works. Even as the "official" retailer for the release, it's not like the toys are processed or delayed by Hasbro en route to the specialty retailers. To my knowledge Hasbro doesn't mandate strict-on-sale dates for any of these products.

Seeing as how instead of wave 3 we got wave 1 again, I not holding out any hope to see wave 4.
But I'd buy him in a heartbeat if I did

Pre-orders are a joke! I ended up canceling all my pre-orders this year except for the Quintesson Pit Of Judgement (because it's exclusive). I found all of the other stuff in stock first on ebay or at Walmart & Target. Except for titan Scorponok, I just nabbed him from EntertainmentEarth, they had 1 in stock so I pounced on it. The only pre-orders I won't be canceling are the Shattered Glass at Pulse (unless they show up on ebay first). Pre-orders are the dumbest thing to ever hit toy collecting.
Oh yeah, I also have the Botcon Wasp Raider & MOTU Revelation Scare Glow pre-ordered which I paid for already. They took my money & now I have to wait months for them to ship. Which is the worst kind of pre-order BS. I didn't need that money tied up for 3 or 4 months. I could have simply paid them right when they were ready to ship.
I F***** HATE PRE-ORDERS WITH A PASSION!

Wreck-Gar is on there, too. Needless to say, I ordered both and am on my way to cancelling my Pulse pre-orders.

Man, that's crazy to hear. Gigawatt has become one of the biggest shelfwarmers I've ever seen in my life where I am.
Man, thanks to this post I just learnt that Scareglow is an exclusive, WHAt the Fuck?!?!? This sucks, hard. Won't be able to get that toy then.

There was a Mattel online exclusive Revelations Scareglow, but per MotU expert Pixel Dan, there will also be a mass retail release in a future wave. I assume it will have a more basic deco.

Nice, hopefully Rodimus won't be too far behind.
*edit* Amazing! --- 2 hours later and yes, in fact I got an update from Amazon, Rodimus Prime should arrive Thursday.
