    Other than TaoBao, is there anywhere else you can buy Devcon?

    Damn, OS Defensor shipped the 14th and is already inbound out of customs in SF.

    Always use EMS if you can swing it.

    I see them for AUD $100 often, those are usually the legit sellers (but not always).

    Had another seller go rogue this week.

    bought two items in last couple months (good deals) and 3 more this month that had fake tracking, and user has abandoned account, and even sent a msg to folks telling them so

    user ID on ebay is "HXUFEN2016-0" DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER THEY ARE NOW A SCAMMER.

    How posable is that cyclonus compared to the universe mold? How solid is the jet mode? Plastic quality?

    I think they were just lamenting that were they a little larger, they could be fit in with Classics. I do feel that it would be nice to have an affordable (and probably better quality) alternative to the Universe versions of Ironhide and Ratchet (the latter of which goes for rather high prices).

    What I don't get is everyone wanting a "classics" trailbreaker and hoist to be anything more than what they were... A real mini pickup are actually as small as a normal car, just look at a 87' datsun/Nissan pickup vs. A 280/300 z... Same size, just raised up because, well, 4×4.

    It's not like g1 cartoons where hoist is so small he fits inside the newest classics release of huffer?

    I see a hoist headmaster-sized figure in the future to sit inside an MP huffer for shits and giggles. :lol

    Don't get me wrong I do like the actual figures we got. But had they been a little bigger they would be a lot more impressive.

    I just ordered the CHMS Punch/Counterpunch myself yesterday.

    The figure itself was $9.15, Bhiner's service fee was $2.34 (which I think is variable and I'm at the minimum amount now, likely goes up with more items/vendors?), and $2.33 for domestic shipping within China. Then, once Bhiner receives the item, they'll invoice me for the exact shipping amount to the US and I'll send them a second payment for that. I chose their cheapest shipping option which was estimated at $3.85.

    So that all totals up to $17.67 for the $9.15 figure, which I think is very reasonable considering the service Bhiner is providing to get it to me.

    That sounds about right from what I paid. Seriously considering getting another punch to keep in con mode on the shelf
