His chest window is also cleaner with far less window cracks in it.

But what's also interesting is that Hasbro is treating this toy as a Selects figure while Takara is instead treating it as a normal Siege figure.

I wonder if that means that Hasbro actually assigns the TT-GS numbers. That might explain the almost completely random way they have been numbered so far and TT's Siege Nemesis Prime not having one.

Now you got me wondering. Have we seen the "TT-GS" (TakaraTomy Generations Selects) ID numbers on any of the TakaraTomy Mall listings, or only on their Hasbro Pulse listings?

This. Botcon and Flame Toys did it, I have no idea why the Selects one couldn't have had that color scheme

Well, they might have wanted to make it as close as Volkswagen would let them.

I've got 35th Anniversary Soundblaster from Walmart, and that can serve as the Headmasters rebuilt Soundwave version of Soundblaster, while this TTGS one will be the Soundblaster that is a "failed" clone of Soundwave made by Shockwave.

That's weird, my order summary still says ships approx 10-24. I fully expect at least a 2 month delay in any case, which actually works out just fine for me. I was just dealt a financial blow and will most likely have to cancel anyway, but a delay would give me a little time to consider selling off something else instead to make it work.

Neither, although I expect the latter. Everything else from Takara has been delayed.

I'd argue December 23 would be worse, still get charged before Christmas, but nothing under the tree because it takes Pulse a minimum of a week from charging to actual shipping.

I just seem to recall Super Megatron getting pushed back at least twice...but that could be faulty memory based on peoples posts since I didn't actually order one myself. Has Super megs even been released on Pulse yet? (even though it is sold out, usually they still show the estimated arrival date but I dont see any)

Super Megatron should be shipping Decemeber 1st.

Does anyone else think this will result in several cancellations? Cause it being that close to Christmas is already making me consider cancelling, especially as I wss already debating that with Super Megatron, but $300 right at the start of Decemeber is a bit too much.

Not happening. That "SG" is what Takara calls the Siege toys. They all have ID numbers that begin with "SG-##".

Huh, I noticed the cream color where my Siege Astrotrain is black dark gray and figured it had to be something different.

That version looks better than what we got in the U.S. it's just too bad he's so expensive.

It's the same one we got in the U.S. The lighting on that pic is jut off.

It looks whitish instead of gray.

Look at how light in color Gigawatt appears, all of his faux stainless steel details are washed out and he is lighter in that photo than he appears in the Amazon/Pulse listings for him. The same thing appears to be mainly affecting the grey parts of Astrotrain.
