Finally I saw the real deal listed and wound up paying 125% over the original price. Well worth it and I still have him in my collection. But it's certainly not something I'd brag about. The concept's entirely subjective. lol

Well said man ..

My only big secondary purchase was for the legends sdcc kazarr/shanna/zabu set the one year i didnt know anyone who was going to the con or didnt have an immediate hookup for it afterwards . I payed close to $150 plus shipping . I was happy w/my purchase just not the price i payed i ended up selling it before i moved to fla and recouped my money plus a bit .. not a proud moment or bragging moment either . What I originally meant was you get on some of these forums whatever and everything is a Fuckin grail , it came out last year its my grail ?


Like red alert rescue said i,he would call the range viper rare , me i almost have my fill of him but in canade/uk some of that stuff just didnt make it over and i have empathy for those people , we have it pretty good here and i/we sometimes forget how good we have it ..

I will admit that is a bit odd since they do "preview things" on purpose sometimes like the Ferret driver or the Arctic bat were.

But maybe they put a vehicle in the background they have not announced yet and they didn't want to spoil the surprise.

That said I do think some diorama pics for Night Force Crazy Legs and co would have been nice to have too. Even if they are only using them background players for a future Night force Release.

Night Force Jason "Shockwave" Faria & Night Pursuit Cycle also lacks "diorama shots too". Though I guess one can pre-suppose the style they'd be from the back of pack shot.

Wait, why are you convinced Road Pig promo shots exist? I may have missed something in the thread, so apologies if it was confirmed by one of the two Hasbro photographers (I know Matthew Cohen aka ShootingTheGalaxy shoots a lot of the photos, but there is another guy that also does them too...Chris something I think?). With Classified, at least up to this point, no figure has had the promo shots go up after they were revealed and went up on Pulse. I forgot NF Shockwave was another one. So three non-HasLabs, and all three were just in the past 2 months.

Thank God for electronic communications

It was only up for like 40 minutes! lol I remember I got up around 6:15 (PST) that day and it had already been gone for almost an hour at that point when I logged on here. The Tiger Paw pre-order was a snafu from what I remember, I think Emily even apologized and said they would never do an unannounced drop that early (it was before 6 on the west coast) and would give us a heads-up notice before they went up.

Do companies like Hasbro control when their shared exclusives get put online if not on Pulse? Sometimes Pulse items go up at different times than Walmart, Target and Amazon exclusives.

At least one does from the back of his packaging. Hopefully there are more

Not sure what the deal is with carriers lately but my luck has been terrible.

It seems like you have trouble with every shipment you buy. Do you live somewhere carriers would be unfamiliar with? Because I think you get the World Record for shipping AND order issues.

Thundercreacker, Skywarp, BUmblebee & Optimus Prime that were made as statues.. they'd make super nice action figures.. maybe more for Japan.. but someone really should be thinking about that as they are not sized for much use as statues (and are also rather expensive) but they'd make super action figures - even Gi Joe ones.

Besides it would also be fun having Skybound trying to explain them.

Please God, NO. That is the last thing we need.

What makes you say that? We have seen no indication they exist.

Working on the Stinger. About 80% complete. I'll be getting some GIS kits for it so it'll be ongoing for a minute.
