These things were clogging the pegs at the Targets in my area for literally months. I picked up a couple of extras that had been clearanced down to like $6 on a whim. Does the world really need more of them?
Just means they can do a toy colors Selects release with mini-con later.
I guess those sending out to stores, were bad at their job and it was the store manager who decided to clearance them out or the regional manger, that's my guess!
Yeah, when they said it was being reissued because it was "hard to find", I'm like, in what reality?
Pulse Premium will pay for itself if you're in an area that getd the free shipping.
If you don't (Like me), it's largely a waste of money, and is kind of insulting to be honest. Yeah, make me pay you money for the opportunity to pay you money.

I hope it's at least a fresh batch of non-weirdly-photodegrading plastic. I hope that for Ramjet too.
I mean, this is par for the course. Hot Shot, Optimus, Megatron, and Starscream didn't come with their Mini-Cons either, and Hot Shot only later got his in a special online exclusive set that was more expensive than the normal Deluxe price. SG Sideswipe got SG Whisper since he too was in an online exclusive set that was also a two-pack with another Deluxe.
And we've seen what happens when a current Deluxe figure whose supposed to have a smaller partner with him gets to have that partner included: The little partner gets made into an inarticulate brick that can barely transform at all (see the Targetmaster partners of Legacy Needlenose, Pointblank, and Quake).

That Overcharge is tempting me, as is that Armada Wheeljack.
Is this the first wave that is *entirely* molds/figures that are already available?
Cosmos - Repack
Bumblebee - Repack
Breakdown - Toy Menasor set
Wheeljack - SG 2-pack
Tarn - Repack
Ramjet - Repack
Galaxy Shuttle - Repack
Overcharge - Blitzwing recolor
Also, I’m still pissy Ramjet doesn’t have his grey fists.

Overcharge has slightly retooled head. I wouldn't consider that significant but you made sure to distinguish Breakdown the toy inspired head instead of the show one, so I figured I'd mention it.
I'm not mad. Given the usual apathy of retailers towards final waves, it was probably the right move to make this just a bunch of repacks and repaints.
Whelp, guess this gives fans a second chance at not finding Cosmos.
On the plus side, BBTS is far more reliable with preorders than Walmart.
This might be the biggest pre order I’ve done.
Dinoking
Galaxy Shuttle
Armada Wheeljack (he’s beautiful)
Ramjet (Now we need Thrust re released. I also liked they’re comment about learning their lesson when it comes to making seekers store exclusives.)
Tarn (did they change his colors like they did with Metalhawk? They looked darker on the stream today).
Star Wars Black Series Prince Xizor.

Let’s be honest, though.
If you’re relying on your local retailer for your Transformers needs? You’ve been pretty SOL for the better part of a decade. Retail distribution has sucked for years, and has only gotten worse with the “demo split”. And if you’re unlucky to be stuck with JUST a Walmart? You’ve probably not even seen entire price points for years on end.
This little “tail end rerun” is probably the best thing Hasbro has done for addressing shortfalls in years.
