Right? I do feel like time did kind of prepare us by taking them from us slowly. First we lost the majority of dedicated toy stores - Children’s Palace was our first to fall. We started losing all the competing department stores and catalog stores - Murphy’s, Hills, Ames, Service Merchandise...

So Duke arrived this morning, only mildly smashed. Yay, FedEx. At least he made it here on schedule. Still waiting on DS, who was supposed to arrive yesterday. Unsurprisingly, DS is being delivered by not UPS or Fedx, so no decent tracking. Tracking only shows shipping "by Walmart" and left NC...

Loving the deep cuts in the insider info! Here's hoping for good Legacy figs. What I mean is more like the SF and less like the popo, fireman and snow patrol - not that those were bad ideas, just the execution wasn't great, and certainly not helping justify the price tag. Examples are the...

Dang, I like all of the CS figs in this wave (particularly Shippy and HV) as well as Chuckles from the retro. I have no need for another TR or Zarana. I honestly don’t remember Ambush - will have to go look him up. I highly doubt I’ll have any use for NF SS and Billy. Oh, and of course since I...

That's a very good point. I guess I will see what I'm thinking at the time when it actually becomes available - whether I want to hope it will just continue with additional volumes or just wait and get the whole shebang like you said and like with the Omnibus. :unsure:

https://toynewsi.com/285-66651 This might be worth picking up and adding to the Omnibus. My OCD is really hoping they end it on a nice even number as a volume one or something like that. In other news, I was finally able to find/purchase the new Jinx head along with the better accessories...

Yeah, I had heard about the Stephen King/son connections to both CB and SP. I believe it is pointed out again in the AoG Omnibus, but I had heard about it prior as well. I wonder if his kid has stayed connected enough to the folks at Hasbro that the new version still bears a resemblance. It's...

Lol, hopefully these ones will go smoothly for you. So far I have received Flash with no issue. DS is due today and Duke tomorrow. I have gotten the "your order has shipped" notices on the remaining ones so hopefully I'm out of the woods for anything cancellation related, barring some issue with...

I would definitely want to go with UPS, but as for ship date, don't go out of your way. Just whatever works best for your schedule. I would love to be home to receive it, but I'm also not overly concerned if I'm not. If it makes it before next Wednesday, I should at least be able to get it as...

I know you are trying to share important info, but dang if the details all across the top of that thing aren't amazing! :LOL:

Agreed. They would have done better to make more (mostly from parts already in inventory) troop builders - Joe and Cobra Troopers kitted out for Desert, Arctic, Jungle, RPG, Medic, etc. Instead Lenny let his freak flag fly with these all new, but way out there - dinos, zombies, energon/magic -...

So true. It's amazing that the top toy seller in the US agreed to receive those as their exclusives. I'd imagine the conversation went something like this: "Ok, we'll take these, but you have to give Target all the Tiger Force and Ninja Force losers..." :LOL: And speaking of :whatever:, now...

Got your colors for all those Eco Force vehicles? 😆

It's funny, I had almost the complete opposite impression. To me the MOBAT was the smaller of the two (not by a lot), with its 5 drive wheels vs. the Mauler's 6 and the stubbier main gun and single crew station, I always put the MOBAT in the category of the airborne's old Sheridan tanks. I...

So I finally ran out of patience for AMZ and swapped over my orders for Duke, Flash and Deep Six to WM, who promises to deliver each of them over the next three days. While I wanted to use my AMZ gift cards straight up for them, the credit remains and we'll surely use it to offset other...

Got it. I thought maybe you had previously mentioned it, but I wasn't sure. I was purely going off the original OG vehicles. Having had both, I had size impressions of them that weren't quite jiving with the pics. It might have been the two fig stations vs. one and barrel length that also set my...

Man, now I am going to have to go look up that issue when I get home. I remember the title and that it (obviously) involved some serious tank combat, but that's about it. *Edit: You probably already shared this, but you upscaled that MOBAT a little, right? I seem to remember it being slightly...

Yeah, I do think that, because the line is now fully grown in overall popularity, it keeps us paying at or near retail a little more than in the past. I think it's also the fact that Joe is almost exclusively an adult collector line (that sounds weird when I write it out). Hasbro knows who buys...

That's awesome! Our AMZ has been all over the place on delivery times recently, at least over this way. It's not uncommon lately to tack something onto an order and get it the next day, but I still have Duke and LC perpetually stuck back on "Order Received" after their having been estimated for...
