Actually a really good price for Premium Finish, PF Voyager usually costs Leader price and you get a cool display box.

Price tag on the beast wars 2 pack is fierce. But there's a part of me that wants it just in case we get the rest of the S1 cast.

DANG IT BOTH OF THEM ARE SOLD OUT

Off hand, the Primal doesn't look that much better than the Netflix Primal repaint.

That Megatron almost looks MP quality with that paint job.
Too bad about the gappy dinosaur mode and the huge backpack in robot mode.

The decos are nice and the packaging is awesome but I'm perfectly content with my Kingdom versions. It's great this is an option however.
Sigmus Prime
Christ, yeah. They could control the market with decisions like that. Unpainted thighs on SS Scourge…

They may just not be officially available yet. I believe sometimes Big Bad Toy Store puts up listings in anticipation of a product being put on the market.

I see these aren't for preorder from Hasbro Pulse. Does that mean Hasbro isn't officially importing these like with Gen Selects and Masterpiece?

HotShotPrime

Man if I were Takara & I wanted people to double (or triple) dip on this Beast Wars set, I’d hurry up and announce that Primal’s thighs are white plastic this time

TF Hot Rod
Yes.

Are the others, besides Primal & BW Megatron, all the exact decos as the Hasbro releases?
TyrantGalvatron
Ohhhhh I love both the Kingdom Megatron and Optimus Primal molds. And those redecos (remolded head on Megatron from T-Wrecks too) look FANTASTIC. Wow.
But unfortunatelty I have too many other priorities right now.
BB Shockwave
Since Takaratomymall does not ship outside Japan, kinda pointless to link them.
Link HLJ instead.
