What started as an office / emergency guest bedroom is now a toy room / emergency office, ha.

You've proven your ability to create a multi-functional space w/o needing to add-on, move, or hire a decorator. That's commendable.

I don?t really understand that when you consider the Dragonfly and Rattler.

Did they? That's a shame. Grid Iron made the Pac-Rats look cool and it seems like people have an interest in dioramas. I wonder where the "too small" line is drawn for this scale. The CLAW appears larger, so maybe they're only interested in "going big."

You try getting your eyeballs back into socket after seeing Snake-Eyes' true face.

Wasn't Jinx white though? She looked white in the movie.

I think S7 got Sunbow Scarlett down pretty good. Although the lack of face paint made it look kind of blah. If someone could morph Classified and S7 Scarletts together we might get the perfect face sculpt.

Edit: I guess Jinx was Japanese. Just read her filecard and she comes from a long line of ninjas.

Wrong again. I'm now seeing she's Chinese. A pale Chinese woman from a family of ninjas. That's enough studying for today.

It's too bad we're stuck with this "every vehicle must come with a figure" mentality. I'm fine with it if there's a history of a dedicated driver with a vehicle (ala the VAMP and Clutch). But smaller vehicles like the CLAW and Ferret didn't really need a pack-in figure. I suppose it's Hasbro trying to give you a "complete" toy and also a way to inflate the pricing. It would be nice if you could just get the small vehicle at a cheaper pricepoint.

Amazon just bumped my two retro Cobra troopers to November. CC is probably next.

Same here

[SharksAndRec]

Oh, I was wrong. Road Pig just got delayed by a month. So now Retro CC and Raptor are probably getting hit next.

I just saw that too. Might not be a bad thing for me as the Monster Force stuff got bumped to October. With all the moving around it?s so hard to plan a budget for this stuff.

It is very difficult especially when they want to preorder everything. Usually they do the other way where stuff comes in earlier than expected. The retro might get pushed to later (still waiting for Pulse to change or keep October date the same).

I almost wish they would just charge you at the time of the preorder. While it might be frustrating to wait at least we know the funds have been taken and don't have to worry about having them at a later date if a bunch of stuff drops together.

There's been a few times I've put money onto an amazon gift card specifically for preordering figures because I don't want to have to worry about a sudden 200 dollar charge that could come a month early or later than initially listed. Sometimes it's easier for me to just fire and forget.
