That part of the toy coverage went by so fast.

In fact, the whole Transformers segment felt like it was on Fast Forward, rushing to get through everything with no time to really digest it all.

Everything was running behind because they didn't leave proper time between segments for the trivia and Jordan's hosting bits. Since Transformers went last and had to be absolutely done by 4pm they had to rush through everything. I'm guessing that was by design since anything they didn't do they could do next week.

Could be worse, the G.I.Joe team screwed up their time management so badly they didn't have time for new figure announcement render reveals! They said they'd put them online today instead but didn't say where.

Very surprised at the pulse con reveal that we aren't actually getting Armada Wheeljack out of the Selects SG Sideswipe retool, but instead the much much nicer Micron Legend Rampage.

: So unexpected

Pre-Order now at Amazon.com Legacy United Wheeljack - Amazon.com

Still waiting for a Earthrise Thrust re-issue.... >:oP

...They are the same guy. That's how Wheeljack looked in the Armada cartoon.

They're still gonna call him "Armada Universe Wheeljack" as they didn't call Tidal Wave "Micron Legend Universe Shockwave" did they? :lol:

And... where's Wind Sheer?

Yeah, I know they are the same guy in the cartoon, but the toys were very very different.

Sad, he don't come with his mini-con. But alas, no retail release of Armada guys has yet... so...

So many Walmart/Target exclusives getting reissued!
In the NORMAL, non-exclusive main line I hope?

Same thing with G2 Breakdown, he's not a something-or-other exclusive?

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

Speaking of exclusives, I secured my pre-order of Dinoking. He's expensive as fuk, but the fact that the shipping is FREE for some strange reasons help.
Gone are the days of the mandatory 25$US shipping fee for a paperclip!

While Pulse has sold out of several of the new Legacy reveals, there are still preorders available through Amazon, so we posted links to those below. We also have official images of the reveals. While the repacked figures have nothing new to them, the packaging will be different than before. Galaxy Shuttle goes from a closed box to an open box, for instance. These won't have plastic windows, instead that kind of packaging will be returning for the upcoming Age of the Primes line.

I pre-ordered both G2 Breakdown and Armada Universe Wheeljack. Unsurprisingly, Cosmos is already sold out at Amazon.ca. (not that I need it.)

I ridiculised Legacy Blitzwing until I had it in hand. He wasn't so bad. So, before dismissing Overcharge, I have to admit that he rocks those colors. I may not pre-order him, but I'll keep an eye out for a potential sale.

Notice that Galaxy Shuttle has lost the "Victory Universe" part of his name on his packaging that his Velocitron release previously had.

Leader Blitzwing was already warming shelves and a fairly low seller. I'm not sure why they think "Overcharge" will do any better, unless they're referring to how much money they're asking in exchange for a glorified Voyager...

They don't really care in this particular instance because:

1. It's a redeco so Hasbro's cost is much lower
2. This is an end of line wave so it will most probably be online only meaning you won't see this in stores

Great news! While Walmart was dropping the ball on their exclusive wave by having returns instantly liquidated, they are finally stocking this wave in full. We now have multiple sightings of cases of these deluxes and voyager Ferak in different states all at once. We also have reviews below for you if you want as much info as possible about these toys.

The sightings come from Fenris447, smiller0570 and Budgieking from Missouri, Texas and Michigan.

Canonball

Lockdown

Filch

Road Pig

Ferak

Ordered Dinoking and Overcharge, Armada Wheeljack's deco looks real good but with no Minicon and me already owning 3 of the mold I just don't feel the need to grab it.

Nice to see the Star Raiders starting to show up, now I can actually snag a Road Pig.

It's a deco that hasn't been released/updated since the original figure and it's a troop builder to boot, it easily has potential. I skipped the Blitzwing but I'm snagging an Overcharge.

Blitzwing also got repacked twice, which artificially boosted his shelf presence.

Love the diaclone recolor. Prefer it. Pre-ordered.

I was shocked this weekend to walk into my closest Walmart and see all the star raiders except Cannonball, and the special 3-Pack. I don't regret pre-ordering the only 2 I wanted form Walmart online, since they actually came through this time. not sure if Ill ever see that 3 pack in store, but it still wouldn't help because I only want Calcitron.

I wonder if they'd do a "Pretender Shell" redeco of Dinoking and the Dinoforce. The Legacy release opts for Anime and Inner-robot color accuracy, so it'd be a neat contrast.

Would be a Dinoking with green legs and upper torso, brown arms, and a gray lower torso.

Also, it would double as the Shattered Glass deco!

Beat me to it, I did as well. Hopefully it ships in a couple days, I've been waiting for a true Straxus ever since I read "Into the Smelting Pool" in the early 90s.

Here's hoping I can snag a cannonball finally then. if they show up at my walmart.

Just got confirmation of my Straxus being processed! Woohoo!

Mine is trying to process, but I got a new debit card and the instructions to update the payment are for the old website. Doesn't seem to be any way to update payment methods on the site and I do have a backup source that it didn't attempt. :roll:

Time to contact customer service I guess.

Also has anyone that ordered recently from Pulse gotten weird emails about things being left in the cart? I got one the other day for G2 Breakdown who I successfully ordered and then yesterday I got one for Robosen Grimlock who has never been in my cart. Weird stuff.
