BBTS is not a provider of this set currently. They had preorders for the first two but took down the pages. I know this because I ordered them and now I probably won’t get them and they never posted preorders for the other sets. Only a handful of 3rd party retailers locked in some inventory but it’s primarily sold through Takara Tomy mall and hasbropulse and it’s all sold out currently. This is not going to be a clearance item

Again, this is not a boxed set. This is just the six individual releases bundled together as one purchase, exclusive to TakaraTomy Mall.STngAR wrote:Kinda thought they would do a set from the get go. May just be a Japan only set but figured it was inevitable.

First it was the Velocitron and Siege sets from Titans Return. Then five of the seven Siege Seekers and now these Seacons.
Don't get me wrong, all those toys look great but the exclusivity coupled with the jumped up prices make them inaccessible to some of us.

To be fair, the velocitron and the other box set we're pretty fairly priced for what you were getting in there. Maybe a slight markup, but not more than fifteen bucks. With the c cons, it's a little more egregious, however I would suspect the sea cons also suffer a little bit from the same problem that Prime breakdown had in that there is a higher price per item than your average Deluxe or Voyager figure. And once they're released, they have no control over what the exclusive do on eBay. There are plenty of regular Mass release toys that have jumped quickly in price on the second hand Market.

And, since it's a TakaraTomy Mall offer, a lot of good that does for most of us here since you can only order from TTM if you have a mailing address located inside Japan.
Some fans, like powered convoy, use a forwarding service for TTMall exclusives. Shipping is free within japan so you dont spend twice on shipping.
And thanks for letting us know its a bundle and not a boxset, that settles things.
What's worse for your situation is that there is no boxed set of the six. The bundle for all six on TTM is just the six individual releases offered together as a single purchase.toycave_studios wrote:william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:This bundle is not a boxed set.

I am extremely disheartened... I had all 6 preordered on tfsource.com, and then seeing this post, deleted them because I wanted the box set and I'm a little short on funds in January.. so seeing them come out in March was nice. But now seeing that you can only get it if you have a Japan mailing address.. this hurts. and All the preorders now are sold out on hasbro pulse and tfsource. What can I do? Can anyone help?

I hope to get them someway/somehow later in 2020, even if I have to pay a bit more. I know this sounds ludicrous, but for financial purposes, it would have actually been more beneficial, for them to be released once per month, over a 6 month span.

The original Japanese release date is Jan 25th, this Friday. I don't know how long the Hasbro processing will take.

Hasbro is currently saying the same date, but this is the first Takara Generations Selects purchase from them for me, so I'm not sure how reliable their date would be.
Does anyone who ordered Star Convoy remember how long it took from Hasbro Pulse to ship?
