    Both 2 packs will be here this week. Never had any issues. As Ron Popeil once said.

    You raise a very good point. I remember trying to jump through hoops with Pulse over a SS Scourge with a missing engine.

    Then you get an extra $5 and you let Amazon know the carrier they shipped your package with is substandard. I pay for Amazon Prime. I expect shipping commitments to be honored, unless it's something outside of the delivery company's control. Somehow I don't believe that happens every time I'm due a Sunday delivery.
    I also understand how these companies work. I am employed by one of them. And I believe my employer should be held to the same standard. Do your job.

    Got both the battle across time sets in today! Overall, all the figures are great, but Sideswipe steals the show.

    Yeah I don't care about the box. I wish I waited to get damaged box one and save $30.

    This fandom is so weird. Something being in stock for more than a week, or month, or even several months in no way constitutes 'shelf warming' or 'warehouse warming'.

    It's a normal sales cycle.

    Except in this case I doubt it’s far off. Almost every Titan has been available at discount and this one is one of the more divisive ones. I can easily imagine this figure going on clearance though if you can snag one when it hits that price is another issue.

    Best price for Autobot Ark will probably be $118.99 for a brief window around Thanksgiving/Christmas if there’s an abundance… 30% max off MSRP seems to be typical for whatever toys Amazon picks for their major sales.

    Which means I’m passively holding out for the Jurassic Park collaboration set to go on sale for $73.49 (reg. $104.99), lol. :p

    I really don’t have space for another Titan but I also really want Teletran 1 so not sure how much I can resist a 30% discount on the Ark.

    I’m with you, though I was able to make room for the Ark. I’m trying to figure out what I’ll do next year if the rumor of Metroplex turns out to be true.

    Well according to amazon my Grimlock/Mirage 2 pack was delivered at 11:30 AM today. My security cameras says otherwise. Problem is I should probably wait till tomorrow to file a claim with Amazon. The issue is when they built our neighborhood for whatever moronic reason they re-used the same adress numbers for another street about 2 blocks over. So my house is 1774 NW "street name here" than that other street has the same part with a diff street name. 10 years ago we'd maybe only get 2-3 wrong things a year delivered to us by accident. Now this last couple years I swear we get everyone elses mail but our own because the mail carriers apparently can't read or maybe they're high or something when working. I'm thinking it probably just went to that other house by mistake, but they may not fix it right away. Like in my case if I get the wrong mail, well I'm not home from work till after 10 PM to even get the mail sometimes, so obviously I can't take care of it till the next day.

    On topic: My Grim/Mirage set should be here tomorrow.

    Re: Metroplex. Is the rumor a reissue or a new mold? Existing Metro has issues but it’s big and fun and newer releases seem to cost more for less. Could be a tough call.
