    I didn't get angry, but it didn't make sense to just sit here when he could be had sooner with just a little bit of action on my part.

    Maybe it would've come before Monday, but it didn't seem like they were fixing it on their end, saved 'em a step.

    The only thing I can think of is that the purchases from yesterday and Monday were from a 3rd party that were selling invisibly from Amazon while Today is pure Amazon.

    Hmm. I guess I'm mistaken. SS-21 Starscream is a voyager at $24.99. I guess, it's because Long Haul is newer.

    Yeah they probably are just sitting on extra Starscreams so running a sale.

    I feel there's a great missed opportunity not to have included the other 2 Weaponizers along with Cog to make the 3 Powerdashers. Also how cool would it be to make your own bots with all the pieces.

    It would have also been a nod to the old question: "Is a Powerdasher one robot who changes bodies, or are there three different kinds of Powerdasher." It basically would have been a customizable build-a-bot set...like a Generations version of a Hero Masher.

    Word is that they are doing the other two Powerdashers out of the other two Weaponizers - someone's reportedly seen the drill one as a repaint of Brunt.

    Yeah, the old bio said they were constantly evolving and changing forms, which made me more receptive to their Siege vehicle modes being totally different--the customizeable aspect just adds to this.

    Cool, the kids are hyped on clear mirage anyway and I was going to use that sets Impactor in lieu of getting the regular release ( but who am I kidding I will likely get both) so I'm looking forward to Aragon quiet a bit. Just dig weaponisers in general. Although as an aside they seem like the thing you will find in lots a few years down the line just scattered into pieces and never really finding a full character.

    I ordered Long Haul and Springer yesterday, they'll be at my door tomorrow. Meanwhile, a few books I ordered last Friday still haven't shipped, despite it saying they would be here today or tomorrow.

    Got Springer today. Not happy he was shipped in a plastic bubble bag. Box is totally crushed, toy is fine though. Still upset since I do save the boxes. Guess ill try and find one in store.

    That sucks! I ordered him from pulse and he came just fine from them. Amazon sucks with any toy that's not Pop.

    Amazon is not the place to order from if you collect boxes.

    I'd say you can just exchange it through Amazon on their dime, but they'd probably just send you another one in a bubble mailer again.

    I probably should've ordered Springer the same time I ordered SS Long Haul so they come in a shipping box... but I'm not in a hurry to get Springer at the moment.

    Long Haul did just arrive in a manila bubble mailer. I keep my boxes, and it came acceptable. ...and Long Haul out of packaging is sweet! He's so stubby and fat, it's awesome! It's a really neat looking figure to have on my desk! Really fun to pose around. Highly recommended, and he's easily the best ROTF Constructicon so far in bot mode.

    My Long Haul is set to arrive tomorrow. I can't wait to put him with Rampage and Scrapmetal. When is Hightower supposed to come out again? My amazon preorder still says end of the year, but I don't think that's right...
