Thanks to friend of the site Thannak, we have news for you regarding a hard to find Generations Selects figure. Transformers Generations Selects Lancer, the final component needed for the combiner Orthia following the release of Elita-1, Greenlight, Novastar, and Moonracer, is now back in stock at Hasbro Pulse for the deluxe class pricepoint of $19.99. Stock will be limited as per usual, so if you still need this figure, you had better jump fast!

Lancer is a new head retool of Greenlight, who herself is a retool of the Moonracer and Novastar. She is the final component of Orthia, and has been available intermittently at both Hasbro Pulse and site sponsors. You can use the link HERE to go to the Hasbro Pulse page and place your order.

Let us know if you succeed in scoring this Selects figure below!

Finally got my in stock notice from BBTS for Lancer. What a frustrating ordeal it's been for me getting this figure. It's gonna be a good day when she shows up at my front door.

You know what's frustrating, Hasbro sent my Star Convoy to the wrong address, then the people living there, gave it back to Fed Ex saying it wasn't theirs. (on a Saturday no less)

I called Fed Ex as soon as their customer service opened and they told me it was already on the truck back and there was nothing they could do about it. Since when was fed ex that efficient?

Then I called Hasbro Pulse's Customer Service, and they told me they could give me a refund, but since it was a limited pre-order they did not have any in stock to send to me. (Now what's dumb is that also means they apparently didn't get extras in case of damages)

When I asked about just turning it around and re sending it when they got it back, they said they weren't set up to do that. WTF

I actually am in charge of shipping at the company I work for. We've done that before here. It's not difficult.

How's that for frustrating?

Ack, that really sucks! Something similar happened to me a few months ago when Generations Selects Smokescreen started shipping out. It shipped out to my old address and I found out that hard way that Hasbro Pulse doesn't update your pre-orders when you change your address in your account. I was able to pick up my package from the old address before it was sent back, at least. I hope you get some sort of compensation if not complete satisfaction on this. I would complain again to a manager or something.

I got to open up my Star Convoy last night. I really like him a lot. The stickers went on easily, and they're all a LOT straighter than the factory applied ones from PotP Optimus Prime. That said, a lot of the other flaws of the original mold are still present, along with some new ones, though. The ankle joints are not quite strong enough to hold up the figure if it's not standing up straight and perfectly balanced. The gun pieces don't fit together quite snuggly enough, but it's not an issue, unless you're trying to put the silver chromed Matrix of Leadership in between them. So much for that new feature. The biggest issue, though, is the four pointed star crest in Star Convoy mode. It's very tricky to get that to peg in and stay, and it will still pop out if given anything more than a feather's touch. I tried the "Peuagh" trick of flipping around that red joint piece, and that helped marginally, but it hasn't solved the problem entirely, not by a long shot.

I liked the original PotP Optimus Prime figure, so I'm digging this retool as a Japanese continuity version of Optimus Prime that I've never had before. Compared to the original Star Convoy, this new one looks better proportioned. The resculpted details evoke the G1 toy very well. It's too bad that the chest windows weren't remolded, though. I think that would have completed the look. I don't even mind the red and blue plastic parts on the trailer, as those are also present in the G1 toy. I wish they had thrown in a Micromaster Hot Rod for good measure, but my Combiner Wars Legends Class Hot Rod will do for now, though an even smaller figure would scale that much better. I'm not too arsed about the lack of an official "base mode" for Star Convoy. I'm sure fans will come up with some inventive configurations to homage the original base mode of the G1 toy, but that looks ridiculous back then too. Whatever fans come up with on their own couldn't look any worse, lol!

All in all, I like this figure. It's not setting my world on fire, but it's not at all a disappointment. He'll look great on my "Japanese G1" shelf space, along side Dai Atlus and company, Super God Ginrai, and others.

I feel like a winner today because my Lancer finally showed up. While it may have been easy for some to pick her up my my journey was filled with failures. :HEADHURTS:

Congratulations on finally getting her!

I think she might actually be my favorite of the 4 limb gals. I love her colors in hand, and the new molding from Greenlight/Novastar is great

I freaking love Lancer. I also love the mold and have all four limbs plus the Siege Chromia and Siege Nightbird versions. I just don't understand the detachable crotch piece on the Siege versions. Lance's colors really standout, this is a brightly colored combiner.

Oh she is. That whole combiner is so loud and so much fun for that reason. She will always stand out on the shelf for sure

Lancer's colors are a little too sporty for me, like she's wearing a tracksuit to a tailgate party. I think Greenlight and her elf ears is my fave. Her alt mode deco is just so lovely.

I just need some Victorion hands & feet for Orthia. That'd be a Selects accessory pack I'd buy in a heartbeat. Why'd no one ever KO/3P'd those things?

I agree, at least the feminine hands will work wonders on Orthia. Maybe even a Forge of Solus Prime as her weapon...

*sob* Why did I miss Elita, why are Greenlight and Lancer out of reach...

Greetings Seibertronians! Straight from the Planet Iacon Facebook page is news that Takara Tomy is offering a bundle for all the Seacons! This means for one price you can get King Posideon.

According to Planet Iacon, the set is due for release in March 2020, and the price is set at ¥28, 050 (current exchange rate puts that at $257.69) this will get you all six members of the Seacon team and accessories.

Will you be tempted for this mega set? Or have you already got pre orders locked in for the two packs? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

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

Re: Transformers Generations Selects Lancer Back in Stock at Hasbro Pulse (2048055)
Posted by Immortal Starscream on December 30th, 2019 @ 5:41pm CST

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Posted by o.supreme on January 9th, 2020 @ 5:01pm CST

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.

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 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 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.

I am hoping for this too.. even if I have to pay a bit more later on. It says they're sold out on the japanese website already too so boo...

So is anyone else religiously checking their Hasbro Pulse account info to see if the first 2 Seacons have been charged yet? It would be great if they started shipping before the weekend so we could have them early next week.

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?

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

Has anyone had any emails from Hasbro talking about the release date change?
