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

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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?

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 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?

Via Selects? Let's see, we got these molds:

- Ravage
- Rumble/Frenzy
- Laserbeak
- Ratbat

Calling the blue one, Buzzsaw, Wingthing and Howlback.

I'd say that's a super safe bet. 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.
