Universe reissue Insecticons and Perceptor

Got my package from TRU today. awesome figures and i was fiddling with them all night. Totally worths the price tag. Now I finally have sticker-unapplied insecticons. Now all I need is lots and lots of energon cubes.

btw, on my invoice insecticons was spelled as "Insections".......

How was the packing, I plan on keeping a set MISB, and fear that the postman may kick it around a few times. If there is a good chance they will arrive dented, I may be running to my local TRU tomorrow morning when their shipment arrives.
Haves: Target Shockwave/Sunstorm MISB, Both SDCC CCs, 25th Doc, Non-Foil Flint, K-Mart Minicon 12-pack.
Looking To Trade For: Alternators, MP Magnus, hit me up.

Mine arrived in pristine condition. The corners are sharp and there is no dent.

I read about the horror experience other members had with TRU shipping but i think TRU will has outdone themselves this time. They use UPS so i guess that will be a plus.

Edit : here are some pics.



they could use some more protections though

I just picked these guys up at the store too! How come they changed Bombshell's name to "Hardshell" and Shrapnel's name to "Sharpshot"? And why is Perceptor's bio so disjointed?
Is it weird that I like huge chunks of plastic?

Which is scarier? Cat or Megatron?

Congratz, I'm still searching for these the old school ways as I missed the TRU.com. I thought TRU had always used UPS as their shipment carriers?

DECEPTICONS, ATTACK!

There are a ton of these sitting at my local TRU. I already have both of the TFC reissues from a few years back, but if the Insecticons go on sale I may pick up a box or two for army building.

Licensing. Hasbro doesn't own those names.

Can't tell you about Perceptor though, I didn't pick it up.

I want them, but the way I have gotten most of my re-issues except the TRU Soundwave, which mine has floppy legs, was by getting them on sales or crazy clearance whne there was one left.

I got Silverstreak, Red Alert, and Ricochet this way.

Is perceptor or the Insecticons flooppy?

A couple of my cars have floppy joints too.
