    I can't wait to get him. He's one of the big three from the line to get before the line is done for me. I am anticipating Menasor should surface in the US sometime in June.

    No, that trick is only really useful for exclusives. It will just tell you if that size class is in the back. Unless the aisle is flooded with older figures, anything new should be on the shelf.

    If Energon is any indication, we won't see the last map till the last couple figures. Unicron should have it at least.

    The most noteable thing seems to be that the dyed blue plastic parts are darker on Metroplex.

    There may be one or two small paint apps missing.





    Always sucks to not get what you were expecting. That said, your expenence with Wheeljacks Lab shouldn't go in News and Rumors.

    Try your local sightings thread. Also, that's crap about wheeljackslab. I've bought a ton of parts from him and they were all fine. So have a lot of people here. If he messed up and sent you something busted then talk to him, he'll probably work something out.

    dont really care where this belongs...

    went back and fourth with him for about 2 weeks so go ahead and gamble with him. just tryin to give ya guys a heads up... if you spent 100 bucks and got a piece of crap, that was supposed to be mint, and then got told that he could do nothing... so yeah hes got a lot of good sales but hes got a lot of bad ones too. and if you get screwed by him too. dont say i didnt warn you. i bought a lot from him in the past too. but there is a big difference between a 5 dollar part and 100 dollar scam man, first he lost all record of the auction, admitting it was his fault... then sent the wrong stuff to my brother(at a diff. address) then left negative feedback. so go for it guys. defend him and get screwd. but if i were you id stick to the 5 dollar weapons if your gonna buy from him. oh and good 4 you orod and your great transactions... hes probably your boyfriend... dont assume that i didnt try to work somethin out with him/ forgive me for tryin to help out some fellow transformer fans. tool

    I'm not saying he's perfect, and it sucks you got burned, but badmouthing someone in your first post and then badmouthing a user for no good reason in your second isn't a good way to stay registered here.
