Pteranodon is the oddball of the wave, being the only one that matches the styling of wave 3 and 4. Supposedly Pteranodon, Pachycephalosaur, and Archelon were set to be part of Series 1. But for some reason they are being released in Series 2 sparringly. My only guess is that Bandai noticed the issues with the metallic stickers and are biding time until they fix the issue.

Is that how they're doing it? That would explain why I've hardly seen any of those last 3 Series "1" packs, since my area's only just getting Series 2 now. And it makes sense in that they weren't ever listed in the initial Series 1 checklists, those just showed #1-5, 11-20, and 22. (#6, 8, and 21 are still marked as "series 1" on the packaging and the newer checklists, for what it's worth...thus my confusion.)

In any case, thanks for the tip. Now I know to actually dig through any Series 2 chargers I find rather than just assuming they won't be there.
