    They're talking about the postal system, over which they have no control. That's boilerplate to cover themselves.

    I've purchased dozens of things from TF Safari, and never had an issue with postage. One thing to keep in mind though - it is effectively a waste of money to pay for it from them, because it makes no detectable difference to the time it takes to get to you (yes, I have experimented and taken notes - same routes, same methods, same time).

    Having had scores and scores of packages come from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore over the past few years, I haven't had anything go wrong with a single one of them - unlike all the horror stories I hear time and again about the US domestic postal service and competitors (or the only items I've ever had go missing in the post, from the UK's apparently untrackable Royal Mail).

    Anyway, TF Safari is where I'll be buying Slamdance from once it is (at long last) out.

    You could make a really good Blitzwing repaint out of this. A purple jet and tan tank that combine into a mostly color accurate robot mode. The chest piece is part of the jet so the only real problem would be the robot having tan arms, but you could put purple stripes on the front of them that couldn't be seen in tank mode.

    Keep in mind that most of the stock around now of Beast Box and Squawktalk will be the "slight" repaints that use a different shade of purple and teal on the toys. I don't suppose more people will care but I thought I'd mention it.

    So green on Slamdance then - is that the "official" SG colours for them or did they just do green because they felt like it ?

    About damn time! This initial thread started 11 months ago and they had me thinking they'd be out by April or May this year.

    But unlike HasTak, at least we don't have to wait until April of never for any new "quality" cassettes for Blaster. The black pair looks cool to. And they give me a Decepticon vibe. So I'll grab them for Soundblaster!

    The green set looks good to! Them along with their backgrounds reminds me of a Realtime Strategy game. But my wallet can only handle so much...

    I\'ve been waiting for these guys. Really like the black color palette, but I feel like the red and blue is more in keeping with Blaster, so that\'s likely the one I\'ll be getting. I just picked up the blue and yellow version of squawkbox because those colors felt more appropriate, accurate or not. My biggest complaint is just that the weapons don\'t store in cassette mode, but that\'s nothing new.

    Does anyone know when this one went up for pre-order on showz? I just looked and they're already sold out of the regular blue and red version.

    Is the green one a reference to anything in parti or is it just a cool looking color scheme?
