    Looks like Fed Ex lost my BBTS package with Scorponok. Is there any hope, bros?

    - Supposed to be here 10/12
    - Tracking says it was delivered 10/11
    - No sign of box anywhere, no evidence of delivery (or theft) on doorbell camera, nothing on neighbor's porches
    - Opened a tracing request yesterday. No word today. No package today.

    Is there any hope, bros?

    Still no luck finding ER Megs, but I did pick up something worthy.

    Probably time for a war for Cybertron thread with a Netflix prefix. Don't go into news and rumors there are trolls there laying in wait to poke at fans

    The general idea is that the figure belongs in the thread that coincides with where the mold originated. Netflix and Selects so far have used Siege molds, and even though they're released during the Earthrise run, they're still Siege.

    My case in point is the unicron trilogy thread It covers Armada,energon, Cybertron. That way no one can swoop in and try to stop others from having fun. If members enjoying themselves is still ok?

    I really don't see the need for snark here. I was just explaining the thought process behind where special edition figures fall.
    The Combiner Wars trilogy has separate threads, which is a newer thing in comparison to the A/E/C saga and the Beast Wars series. Also, it kept it more organized and easier to follow.

    Let's get back to Earthrise while we can, seeing as how Kingdom and SS86 will be in the spotlight sooner than later.
    Also, have fun!

    It's been sold out on Pulse for a while, but I'm not sure about anywhere else.

    Just trying to come up with an idea that has been used where folks can have fun without others trying to ruin it. No I'll will intended. the unicron trilogy combined thread is pretty awesome and not a bad idea for the wfc Netflix series to avoid nitpicking.

    Then the thought occurs to me g1 characters in a thread with beastwars figures...... Maybe not the best idea lol. But who knows if they interact on the Netflix series.

    That'll just be Kingdom.
    Otherwise there would be MASSIVE headaches.

    Not to be contrarian, but Netflix wave 2 uses several Earthrise molds as well, including Elita-1 (from ER Arcee), Bumblebee (from ER Cliffjumper), ER Optimus Prime, an Earth mode Soundwave (from Siege Soundwave, similar remold to ER Ironhide/Ratchet and Megatron) and the trailer from Netflix Nemesis Prime is originally from Earthrise Prime. So wouldn't any of those figures be adequately placed in the Earthrise appreciation thread?
