    So I ordered Blackout on Tuesday and got my package today. Sweet! I'm about to leave the house and the Fed Ex guy drops it off. I wait to get back home to open it up... and it's Grimlock. On the one hand I'm pissed that I got sent the wrong figure but now I'm tempted to keep it because it looks good. What usually happens in this type of situation with HTS?

    They send you a new one if it's in stock and you get to keep what they sent.

    Agreed. I've had that happen before. Sometimes it's just not worth their trouble to worry about the shipping costs back to them.

    for all the complaints POTP Grimlock gets he's straight up gone off of HTS. Now I have to hope he'll be stuffed in the wave with Inferno.

    You'll come to learn that people love to complain but go ahead and buy anyway. They do it because they love to hear themselves but secretly covet when others have what they don't.

    Also, he’s actually pretty cool. Not to make you feel worse... just that sometimes the vocal majority isn’t the actual majority.

    I love Grimlock. Sure he needed some joints tightened, but so do a lot of my figures.

    Or they have legitimate gripes. Not everyone complains just to complain.
    I have some buyer's remorse for getting Grimlock when it first went on sale on Amazon, but it is what it is. For it to not be on HTS is weird, though

    Well, yes, but that's almost entirely because the phrase isn't actually "vocal majority", it's "vocal minority".

    Yes, I was defining the phrase “Vocal minority”. But I was using “vocal majority” to describe the majority of people who voice their opinions. Truth is, people like to talk shit way more than share praise. So, even if the majority of the people love something, you’re more likely to hear from the complainers. Humans kind of suck.

    Not to derails things, but that’s the definition of vocal minority/silent majority. The small amount of people are the loudest while the majority of the same opinion are silent. At this point it’s debating semantics, but the correct term is vocal minority and silent majority. Vocal majority would refer to a loud opinion held by the majority of people (common knowledge or popularly excepted).

    You are, of course, correct. I was using literary license to make a point. But we’re saying the same thing.

    I don’t remember Titan Masters taking this long to stock. Where are the Prime Masters? And I’m so anxious for Wave 3 deluxes, but I’m being greedy. That Optimal Optimus keeps ringing my bell, tho
