    Saw that yesterday. Was going to post a Shang Tsung It Has Begun pic but then went to sleep instead.

    Very, very tempting.
    How is that place for shipping times?

    Depends on how far you live from New York. Takes 1-2 business days to ship out (get product across Canadian border into NY) and then either 1st class vs priority (? when they choose to upgrade). They said next year they'll start offering a priority only option.

    They're good. They're located in New York and I'm in WA state and am expecting these figures by end of next week if past orders are any indication of what to expect.

    I'm in Oklahoma, so half the country away from NY. When I ordered the core class figures, they arrived less than a week after ordering. I don't remember exactly how long but I remember being pleasantly surprised at the speed

    They're sold out of Scourge individually. Fans love flying bathtubs of doom.

    As much as I love Scourge Hotrod is the superior toy of the two but every one needs more cons.

    Is that the final look for grimlock? I don't get why they put that dark cover over his chest and the white arms/tail

    Thanks for the heads up! Just ordered two of Hot Rod. Once I receive them I’ll cancel my preorder for the two I currently have on Hasbro Pulse.

    I did my part. Orderded both two-packs, so unfortunately I'll have to wait for the second one to be in stock before getting them. The listing says November, so they have a few days.

    I never buy early, but the prices were actually almost retail, so it was worth it to me.

    Those links posted by @Cool Hand Lube . I ordered two Hot Rods from it. Legit seller with close to retail pricing, its the shipping from Canada that gets ya but its not bad at all.
