$150 for a ship I already have?   I can't believe I am actually considering buying this just for the stand...   :-[

I only got one from Amazon and opened it. While the stand is a great idea, I'll just get it for the new box artwork.

Do we know why Pulse is only pre-order so far?

Because I can only type so fast? (Seriously though, it's up at a number of places now.  :P)

So this is the Amazon exclusive with a new stand?
This is the way.

Same issue I’m having. I already have this (for much cheaper), and I’m perfectly happy with it, but dang if I don’t like that stand. Plus, I’m a sucker for that box. I think the mere fact that there is already so much else I’m interested in for the year will help to keep me from buying this again.

Surely it at least has improved paint right?!  I do like the vertical display option, and if I can sell my old one for enough to make it a reasonably priced upgrade, I’d do it for just the stand.

I’m kind of in the same boat as everyone else.  I got the original TVC Amazon-exclusive Slave I and I like it, but then this new version has that stand...

Improved deco, stand, and I was under the impression the engine area was different or more detailed somehow?  Can’t be sure on that as I was not up to par today and didn’t get to focus on a lot of the presentations details.

Ugh! I really don't understand gifs, but Malibu Stacey with the new hat episode of the simpson's gomes to mind.

I stupidly skipped the hatless Malibu Stacey. And as someone who just watched an open original one of these sell for $250+ then I say thank you Hasbro

I think I might put my original release up for sale. I can’t find a good reason to have 2, and the new deco and stand make the new release a little more appealing.

Yeah, I wonder if I can sell mine for like $50 and start a bidding war with some people who are too desperate to wait for the new one

That's going to drop like a stone now that this is announced...  It'll be $90 for a loose one in no time.
