I'm definitely tempted by this new boxset, seeing as I didn't manage to get a pre-order in for the first two and then didn't bother with the last four

thats about $25-$30 more then what they cost separately. Sadly I wasn't able to preorder the first set, so never bothered to preorder the others, banking on a combo set coming eventually. so this will probably be the route I end up going.

"King Poseidon Perfect Mode Set" :-?

Assuming it's just a bulk order of the 3 2-packs without any extras included, how do the prices compare?

I am 99% certain that this is just like the PotP Dinobot set, where it was just a bundle of all the individuals without adding anything extra and it's all the individual boxes in a large brown box

Me too, except the regular dual releases are already armed to the teeth with each one having at least 1 gun and a melee weapon that can combine into the combiner's sword. The hands and feet are new already, so I can't see them doing an even better set just for the box set. The only additional accessory I can think of that that wouldn't be pretty redundant in would be a stand for the limb bot who is pulling gun duty. Other than that, all I can think of is nicer packaging.

At least that is what I'm telling myself for now. If Pulse puts up a pre-oerder for the set, I may revisit my thinking.

But that was a hasbro china initiative, this is TT, so there may be a few extra wrinkles in the comparison. The better comparison might be with the Ginrai boxset which TT released after the induvidual releases. That one did have extra stuff.

If anything, there may be minor differences in deco. O, and I don't see Hasbro pulling this one over on Pulse

I have the two packs coming in through Pulse so I'm set already. I'm glad this exists though for everyone who missed pre-orders the first time through.

This bundle is not a boxed set. It's just the six individual releases offered together as one purchase.

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.

I want to be enthused about the Seacons - except we've already had so, SO many combiners that were remolded from the CW Superion set, or which use a remolded Silverbolt as the core. If these were really all original, then I might be willing to overlook the massive price tag. As it stands - it looks you're just not getting enough that's 'new' to justify the expense. If it goes on clearance at BBTS for 50% off sometime, then maybe. But $250? I trow not!

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

The website says "domestic only". Does that mean you have to be in Japan or will they deliver to anyone?

I feel like they have remolded enough to make these worth buying. Knowing that we want combiner figures to have a similar size, proportion, and build — not to mention the fact that many of these are four-legged animals — using the same 'footprint' to design around is okay in my book. As long as we get heavy retooling that helps the figures truly homage the original.

Again, this is not a boxed set. This is just the six individual releases bundled together as one purchase, exclusive to TakaraTomy Mall.

As someone who preordered all three sets like the lunatic I am, the combined total order plus tax from Pulse was $103 + $76 + $76 for a total of around $255 USD. So, around the same as the Pulse release, except not counting shipping or any markups if this shows up on any middleman websites.

That's right about what mine came out to. (I think my first set was 101 if I remember correctly) I'm really looking forward to it. It will be definitely be the most expensive piece of my collection (beating out my over-sized Gravity Builder)

I wish Hasbro and Takara would feck off with all these overpriced exclusives that get more expensive on EBay and the like.

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.

With all honesty I wouldn't have preordered these figures if I didn't think they would get more expensive on the after market.

I'm not actually seeing much merit in your complaints, possibly because you are confusing what was a Hasbro initiative and what was a Takara initiative.

Hasbro caters to a larger market, so the exclusives are going to tend to be close to regular price, while Takara caters mostly to Japan, so their runs are going to be smaller and the prices will be a bit higher.

However, none of the examples you gave were that overpriced when compared to regular releases. Some of them are a pain to acquire, but not really that overpriced.

For the TR sets, the going rates at retail at the time were $40 Leader, $25 Voyager, $15 Deluxe, $10 Legends and $5 titan master. I'm equating the die cast titan masters to the regular release titan masters for comparison purposes. Both boxed sets were $100, and if you add up the regular retail price of the figures inside, you get to $95. So not that much of a premium there.

Onto the Siege seekers. Of the 5 exclusives, only Skywarp was above the regular retail price, and just barely. $30 for the Voyager plus 3 x $6 for the battlemasters, and you have $48, which was a markup of about $2. Redwing was technically below retail for most since you needed to get a Redcard and he was regular price, but the Redcard gets you %5 off, he was a real pain to acquire though. The rainmakers at $80 were priced below 3 regular voyagers, and if you waited till the after Christmas clearance, you could score them at an incredible discount.

Now for the Seacons, these seem to support your argument the best due to their high prices, but just looking at the price without any other context is misleading. These are a Takara only initiative, and so the best price comparison would be for Titans Returns deluxes and voyagers since those were the last time Takara and Hasbro had different decos and releases. And it that case, the price for the Seacons, at least in the US is pretty comparable to what the Takara releases were going for during Titans Return, so again, pretty much the price we were paying if you wanted the Takara decos back in TR.

The real problem to me is more the lack of availability for some of the exclusives, and not the price.

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.

I'm thinking/hoping that Hasbro is going to have at least a small supply once they actually arrive. I had to cancel my pre-orders because doing my budget for next year, I was afraid I would not have the funds when the first sets were released.

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.

I understand.. it's not a 'box set' persay. I'm just disappointed I thought I'd be able to get them all later when you have to have a Japanese mailing address. Is there anyway to circumvent that and still have them shipped to US?

There are several Japanese forwarding services meaning ttmall sends to them and they send it to you. Just google it, shouldn't be hard. Hope is far from lost in this case.

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?

I think mine finally shipped around November 11, but he had so many delays, he was months late.

I am not expecting to be billed from TFsource until February and March for the various seacons. I'm stoked for them to eventually come

Nope, weird that now they are showing Gulf and Turtler as end of March with Overbite and Tentakill while Kraken and Lobclaw still show end of February.

I really hope they don't just consolidate everything and release them all at once. My wallet would prefer to spread them out 2 a month.

It's listed at the Deluxe Class price point, but Hasbro doesn't mark up for their Selects line, so I'm guessing two pairs of figures (e.g., four total) instead of just the standard two at the regular Micromaster price point, which is half that of the Deluxe Class price point. Blue Guy and Buzzsaw are shoe-ins, and Wingthing from Ratbat makes perfect sense. The Ravage repaint could be Howlback, but it Glit is a contender too (as is Enemy, technically, for the Red Guy retool).

Hm. On the one hand, I do like that they might be finishing the cassette group, but on the other the current Soundwave mold doesn't feel like it needs more. Especially since there's only so many ways to store them on him. :lol:

He was a repurposed Gli once, he can be a repurposed Glit again.

Thanks to word from long time Seibertronian Immortal Starscream we've learned that the Target exclusive War for Cybertron Seige Red Wing Selects figure is back in stock at Target.com! Many fans found this current Siege seeker mold to be one of the best we've ever seen, and were clamoring to collect the entire rainbow of Seekers released. If you were one of the fans who missed out on Red Wing here's your second chance! Keep in mind you have to be a Target Red Card member for this deal and just like before he is an on-line exclusive. He's currently listed at the regular price of $29.99. Just click HERE to head to Target.com and get him while supplies. Happy hunting out there and as always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

Hmm, I got it. They can also throw in an energon cube that can store the 4 cassette-bots and also attach to the front of Soundwave or Soundblaster like when he produces the empty cubes on the cartoon. Granted he might look more like he's preggers if you load the cube with cassettes while attached.
