    Can\'t wait for these BW toy decos, but seriously hasbro please just go to closed packaging or bring the plastic windows back. I mean you\'re already sell NFTs, doing away with a few thin plastic windows isn\'t exactly going to offset that. I\'m just tiered of seeing figures with missing heads.

    At least we’re getting him in Legacy. I’m curious to see what they do with him.
    That too.

    Our target had 3 decapitated Silverstreaks and 3 regular ones. Didn't even leave the heads in the boxes

    I've seen at least three headless Buzzworthy Silverstreaks, one of which I saw again just the other day.

    Sometimes, when some people are given ample opportunity, they just act like jerks.

    I see it all the time at my store, people just rip open packages and take things because they know there aren't really any consequences even if they get caught.

    Honestly, I think they just broadcast their stupidity louder than previous generations. Growing up in the 80s we did some damned stupid shit and frankly, I'm glad there weren't any social media platforms around at the time for me and my friends to broadcast our idiocy on.

    I don't want to sound rude or so (but if I am honest, I don't care if some people might feel offended), but figure swapping and now ripping off heads is from my observations and gathering information mostly, if not only, a thing that is happening only in the US. No idea why this is happening, but it is really a shit show when not only scalpers, bad distribution, store only exclusives, but also some garbage tier people ruin a hobby with such a dumb behaviour.

    Anyway, back on topic. Nice to see that people who missed the golden disc Terrorsaur can now experience that figure. I only hope Hasbro fixed the loose feet joints, as on one of my figures, those a fairly loose.

    I'm not even from the 80s or 90s, but I agree with you.

    Is there any way to know where Terrorsaur will come out in the UK, or is it a total crapshoot?

    Judging by the box art, go with “Dangledactyl”

    I'm not sure how much information you're gathering from outside the US, but here is just one example I photographed here in Australia (geographically about as far as you're ever likely to get from North America, without leaving the planet.)

    The plastic window that used to be on the boxes wasn't there to be wasteful with resources, it existed to reduce the number of opportunities jerks have to act like jerks.

    Terrible “meme” movement, that head snatching shit. They look like Zika got em, with their literal pin heads and all.

    It still baffles me that right after doing away with the protective plastic window, Hasbro is literally picking now to introduce head swapping! Makes absolutely no sense!

    Totally, the "pranksters" steal one head and you got a free backup hidden in the box

    The ones with alt heads aren't being sold with retail windowless boxes though. SG Magnus isn't retail and the Creatures Collide is a closed box. Don't know any others being sold with alt heads

    I'm tal
    I'm talking about the simple fact that Hasbro is putting the idea out into the ether. Like someone dumb might see head swapping on the 4 pack box, and decide to take a few more heads from the open windowless boxes for the swappable head collection.
