    eBay probably. You can get him there for $200 dollars and get him in a week, if you want.

    Hoist is a sweet figure, but I wish his arm articulation was a little better. Other than that though, I love it. 00000IMG_00000_BURST20200707105307948_COVER.jpg 00000IMG_00000_BURST20200707105233787_COVER.jpg 00000PORTRAIT_00000_BURST20200707105005067.jpg 00000IMG_00000_BURST20200707104842459_COVER.jpg 00000IMG_00000_BURST20200707104728452_COVER.jpg

    The more pictures I look at of Slitherfang, the more I think that I'll be army building... damn it.

    I don't think that there's been any figure that's getting to me like that as I keep thinking of various scenarios to use it with....

    Come on stores! Get it in already!!!! the wait is killing me.

    Yes this is great news! Surely all the exclusives coming out will sit for months, just like the Phantomstrike Squadron, easy pickings. Guess it's all about timing. Good to know.

    AND UK retailers are getting him. I got mine off eBay like @Astrowing19 said so you're both right.

    Thank you, finally someone that doesn't live under a dome, and understands that what they see is not what everyone in the world will see. And the chances that they get, not all will get. And what shelf worms in there neck of the swamp, does not shelf worm for all. Very well said!

    Thanks for the advice, so all the exclusives will eventually be easy to find, and will be easily accessible to everyone, because all the world and everyone in it, lives in America and has access to Amazon America, and American shopping. And the only reason that people all over the globe are upset at not being able to get it was because they waited for an American sale that never came. Got it.

    Please understand your experience is not the World's experience.

    So let me get this straight, you kinda of disagree with springer and even rod cron being hard to acquire "because they where easy for you to get"??????!!! Just because something was easy for you to get in America, does not change the fact that it's hard for others to get in America or for the 99.9% world majority not living in America. Everyone does not have equal access across the globe! What you see is not what everyone else will see. How can you "kinda disagree that it was hard to acquire" for someone else because of your shopping experience. And not everyone in the world has access to Pulse.

    Facts!

    *Between post type

    *Between post type

    In the lower right of each post is a "Multiquote" button. If you click it, it will "quote" all the posts that you select. Then there's an "Insert quotes" button to the lower left of the response box you're typing in. As long as you type between the "[/quote]" and the next "[quote'=...]" you can reply to everyone (it shows up like above) in one post instead of quoting individual posts. Hopefully it saves you some time. :D [/quote]

    In my TF story, characters that never interacted in other media will interact now! Skywarp and a reluctant Thundercracker join up with King Poseidon to take down Some Autobots.

    Count your blessings. Amazon's Pre-orders for Scorp and Skylynx have an Oct. 5th release date.

    But I'll get Skylynx as soon as I spot him at retail and cancel the Pre-order but sadly I'll have to wait until Oct. for Scorp if I only want to pay $65 for'em.

    I actually saved a couple $50 Amazon gift cards from Xmas and just applied them to a Scorponok preorder. Otherwise that 100.00 credit would've disappeared from Kindle and Audio books by now.

    Yeah i agree that international shipping is absolutely ridiculous. I get things from japan every now and then and it the exchange rate and shipping costs can raise those prices fairly quick. Never mind middleman fees.

    how on earth PR toys can triple in price so quickly still blows my mind though. Especially with how many people ive met that give you dirty looks for enjoying. Its crazy. Lmao.

    And to keep it on topic, that snake shield boy has me so tempted to buy multiples. I feel like the battlemaster ramp shields are so perfect for troop building.

    since youre in canada, stupid question time, have you ever considered driving to the US to go buy some stuff or is that not as easy as im making it sound?

    the generations selects figures are not amazon exclusive. My conversation with you involved figures that technically dont exist yet. When it comes to international shipping, i get it. It sucks. My convo with imfallen wasnt the same as my convo with you. Exhaust and greasepit dont “exist” yet so calm down and dont worry. Especially for someone in PA.

    Starscream likes to pass time at home beating the shit out of Hotrod.

    If it wasn't Starscream it'd just be one of the many other bots around here. They are forming a line.

    I think Starscream is pissed the Skywarp/Thundercracker 2 pack still hasn't hit shelves here.

    Since the Passport required thing.. I wouldn't bother... last time I had one was a Diplomatic one that my work provided... I haven't travelled outside the country since and not worth the expense to just have it expire in a drawer. And it's still a few hours's drive to get to any town over the border without any certainty of even finding anything that I'd looking for.

    And for Slitherfang... funny that the other shield dude doesn't interest me at all in any way, but for a snake that looks like a mini tank, and even the shield LOOKS like a proper shield compared... argh... come on stores!

    How the heck did this little guy wrap itself around my "must-have" list so much...

    Unpainted rims on figures really bother me. It brings the whole toy down a notch and makes it seem so cheap. C'mon, Hasbro. You can spare that much paint.

    Fair enough. It was just a thought. I dont even have a passport so im sure the process to get one is probably a pain.

    Well snakes kinda do that by nature.
