    Argh that's the worst! Can't tell you how many times that has happened to me! It's either holidays, or I just randomly decide to buy something online on a Saturday and I got to wait another day for it to start shipping!

    The worst thing that's ever happened to me was when I ordered Rotf Jetfire around late June, and the day before I got him in the mail I went to Walmart and guess what I found sitting all by itself in the TF aisle. V_V funny thing is I've never seen a single Jetfire in any store since that day. Clearly the toy gods hate me.

    Whats worse then waiting? Going to the mail box.... expecting your sweet ass new toy... and what do you get? BILLS!!! lol, That texas electric bill always reminds me "Hey man, Deszarus is gonna have to wait because its SUPER hot in texas and i'd rather be cool"


    or you know what really sucks? Having nothing to look forward to. Currently, i'm saving money for Deszarus so I won't' be buying much for the next couple of months.

    LOL, that's how it works. A fellow TFfan in upstate S.C. was waiting for a long time for a HA Sideswipe to appear in stores around him. He waited nearly a month after I purchased it here in Charleston, which was unusual because the toys usually make their way down from upstate rather than in the way it happened this time. He paid me to send him one which took only a day to get to him...and of course, he goes to the store that day/night and what does he see on the shelf?

    TNJ online store is notorious for this kind of incidents.... many horror stories can be found with a google search. Good luck with your case!

    no way

    i cant believe i was just complaining about packages taking for ever and then the door knocked and there was my MP5 with upgrade kit and light up kremzeek and quint prosecuter. i couldnt believe my eyes fed ex really came through this time. this figure is truly a masterpiece(especially when you put the upgrade die cast pistol handles on). the transformation had to take me 45minutes although i was being very careful, there was a guy on another forum that said his friend broke his brand new one in half transforming him, so needless to say i wasnt taking any chances. i still have 4 other small orders that are late but getting this one just make me feel very lucky that i got a few more coming whether they are late or not, but to tell the truth that might wear off by tomorrow. by the way anyone else have trouble with his waist connectors not being secured and him toppling over from the waist? you know what i mean those elongated slide rods that fold on top of one another compessing down to make the waist juncture between the upper torsel and the waist and lower region? thanks

    I think I can give a good contribution to this thread now.


    Waiting for a package does indeed suck. Especially when you know the package you're waiting for WILL have the wrong figure in it and you have to send it back the second you get it. *coughtarget.comcough* ....no, I will never drop this.
