Hey!
I got my set last night. Really BIG box; check! Full of toys I want; check! They all look beautiful in box; check! Me AM happy; check!! I can't wait to take them out and look at them. Between this box and the masses of 5 POA figures that send me back in time to 1979, Does anyone feel like Hasbro is the hot chick that likes to tease??? |

I never fathomed how big this box was until I saw your picture. I'm glad I got the only thing I wanted in this set which was the Matt Trakker. I'd love to get Roadblock, but at the current prices, I can live without.
If someone had a headless Roadblock to get rid of, I wouldn't mind picking it up.

May you take a picture? I'm curious exactly what part is cracked, or how bad. If it's the hinge, you could perhaps harvest one from another figure, though you'd have to cut through the "axle" in the forearm to remove and replace the hinge. I've done that once or twice with other figures, though, and it has always gone smoothly. You could always buy some spare arms from Marauder to harvest hinges from, but you'll likely need to modify the plug a bit. There are other figures that use the same entire forearm sculpt, though I don't think any of them are a perfect paint match, so I'm not sure you'd want to do a full forearm swap. In the meanwhile, I'd say that you may as well contact Hasbro and see what they can do. I am pretty sure they won't be able to swap out just one figure, however, but there's no harm in discussing your options with them.

Is Roadblock a toy collector too?
Whole 'nother level of "plastic crack addiction".

Did this truly never go back in stock on HTS? I know the Thor and Missile Command sets briefly did through backdoor methods. But I don't think this nor the Primitive Prime ever did. And that is bizarre because the SDCC exclusives have always gone back in stock at some point, at least in recent years. This could point to the inventory being redirected to Hascon itself, or perhaps being held to go live during Hascon as a promotional thing, just as the Star Wars ones were used for Force Friday's promotion.

It'd be nice if it did come back in stock, but something tells me that isn't happening.

I dont have anything to base this on, but I am thinking they will go back in stock either during or after hascon. That is an extra convention that they have not had in years past and they probably want to see how this new venture works out. Whatever is left after Hascon should go up, I am hoping.

Well, we know anecdotally that they cancelled duplicate orders or orders on declined credit cards this year as they have every year. That's usually the source of the extra stock. So for it not to happen at all is mysterious.
