    Can we give you a bad time for posting this same odd (and highly unlikely to be successful) request twice in the same day?

    Who would buy a brand new Scorponok then immediately sell several of its main accessories? Just call Hasbro and say they were missing from the box or your dog chewed them and see if they'll sell you replacements.

    I don't know if anyone else had this problem, but the shoulder joint on one arm was terribly loose. It could barely support its own weight. I had to send it back to TFSource. They looked at it and I was told there was nothing wrong with it. They offered to send it back to me or I could take a refund. I took the refund and I ended ordering one from Pulse. I'm hoping this new one that's coming doesn't have any problems. Did anyone have an issues? I'm including a video that I posted on Twitter for reference.

    Wait. Do you mean the Marvel Comics? Because that's pretty close. The toon scale however is definitely off.

    Agreed. The figures are at an engineering point that it works for me now. Less hollowness, good proportions. These rounds have been very faithful to G1 (which I like). I'd prefer if they all had Netflix Siege level paint, but not at double price so I'll take what I can get. I can get my fix more often than with MP, cheaper, and I can mess with them without an hour set aside for transforming which is nice. Plus, less threat of breakage. The last time I bought this many figures from one retail level line was Classics in 2007.

    Didn't think I'd go back this route, but I'm on the WFC train and happy for the moment, keep em coming.

    Loved the pictures, and just went to see how cheap I could pick up Scorponok, expecially when others found him on clearance at Target - and found him to be basically sold out everywhere. I guess I was used to the year's Titan figure go on sale on Amazon during the Christmas shopping season, so I didn't but him yet. I think BBTS has him available for preorder, but do we think he's basically gone already?

    I sure hope not. I didn't buy him yet either, for the same reason as you - wait for a sale and pick him up at a discount. I did that last year with Omega Supreme and Jetfire. And now that I am ready to buy Scorponok, he's no longer available? I'm not paying more than retail for him, so I hope some store gets resupplied this holiday season.

    Agreed. I tried to capture the paint / plastic being completely mismatched in the basic shots. Depending on your monitor/screen settings you'll see the difference.

    The ones with the ark BG are artistic so i pushed the yellows to match more.

    But yeah, that sucks. Fail. Hopefully he gets redone later someway properly.
