    I you know you can cancel and resume Prime at no cost, right? Hell if you cancel before the month is over you'll get a partial refund.

    You're not the only one this has happened to, and it was going on before the pandemic. That said, it's still a good deal. We all tend to focus on one aspect, but we all need perspective...

    1.) Free shipping, period.
    2.) Music streaming.
    3.) Prime Video.
    4.) Photo and data storage.
    5.) "Enhanced" customer service. (You can speak to a US-based desk if you request it.)

    Music streaming, anywhere, is about $8+.
    Same with video, and it's only one source/option.
    Cloud storage can be expensive.
    Shipping? $50.00 a year at Pulse with a handful of "perks".

    Yeah, Amazon isn't perfect, I'll admit they've had problems fulfilling orders, but I'll tell you right now that they've outperformed a lot of people during this disaster. Hate on 'em all you want, that's your right, but it's not really any better anywhere else right now, and imagine how much better they do when it's not a pandemic.

    Target had trouble fulfilling Scrapper orders, too. Sounds more like a Hasbro fulfillment issue than anything else.

    He could start by paying his workers better and not treating them like garbage. But we all know that's never happening.

    They all could, not just him. I'm not excusing him, just telling the truth. We're ultimately to blame, the customer always is, in the end.

    I'd hover around Amazon folks, that Battlemaster Soundbarrier seems to be floating in and out of stock. I just grabbed one and then the price reverted back to third-party seller.

    Not only have I not combined any of mine, I have not opened any either. I have a rule not to open combiner teams until I have the whole set, so these dudes have been waiting a long time. My Scrapper is coming tomorrow.

    But boy I tell you what. If after patiently collecting these 8 dudes over the course of two years, if they come out with a box set with better paint jobs and/or more accessories, with a nice large pullout backdrop pf the pyramids... BOY!

    Well scrapper says 'Preparing for Shipment'. I would've liked sentinel to have shipped as well, but I'm grateful for anything.

    It usually takes an extra 2 or 3 days for me.

    I keep checking Amazon every so often to see if that Siege fan vote 3 pack with clear Mirage and Decepticon Impactor has gone down and instead it's going the other way. It was $70, then about $76, and now over $80 sold and shipped by Amazon. I regret not getting it a few months back at $44.
