You'll get the Pulsar Expansion when you preorder from lautapelit as well.
Why don't they just include it in every copy then?
Probably because it's not essential (it's just an unusual variant) and because adding it would increase the cost of the expansion for the sake of something only a few people would use?
People pay to go to the convention. Therefore it costs them some money too. Meanwhile, the people who bought it at the convention early write up reviews and just generally talk about the expansion and get people pumped and excited; the minor promo bonus is like a little reward for that. If you buy it straight from lautapelit, then they're cutting out the middle man and therefore lautapelit is making more money; therefore the promo bonus is a "thank you" for that.
I found the Heroscape promos annoying because I was a completist and they were so damn expensive. But this is going to be widely available, so I really don't see what your problem is and why you feel entitled to get free stuff. This promo is not free for *anyone*, not for the publisher, not for the people who pay for the convention or for the preorder.
