    The need for the prime combiner... was that a holy grail of sorts?

    I pre-ordered Megatronia with collector coin because of the delightful Thew Adams (in small doses) youtube. :)

    I've shopped around for the Prime Combiner, but it looks like once again, I was late to the party.

    The Lynxmaster was so tempting, but I'd be paying over $200 for Ratchet when I have the Siege version.

    I basically missed out on CWs... The older molds are a tough sell because of Siege for me. Big Powered I went in because sale and it sorda had a new waist swivel lol and a couple upgrades.

    I don't have the rust babes either, so Megatronia is fine and I hate money. :p o_O

    I ordered the Grand Prime set because that and the UW Stunticon set are the only ones I needed to have all the Unite Warrior box sets. Love the artwork on them.
    Now if only they can get some Grand Scourges in. That would make me happy. :)

    I just put that Orion pax/Megatron One in my preorders because I almost forgot they existed. I know I love the Megatron jet but suffered a customized fate while I never owned that Orion Pax mold but always wanted to. I might scour Ebay for cheaper Hasbro version, but only as a "j.i.c." thing.

    Nope, not worth $200+ for five figures you were getting anyway and a coin.

    So hey, BBTS sometimes gets new stock for older toys for reasons? How often does that happen?

    Distribution hubs. It's frustrating from the outside, but it helps them organize larger shipments to other distribution hubs, then gets sent out to the local stations for final distribution.

    I get the most frustrated when two of the distribution hubs start passing the football back and forth without ever sending it on to the local. I had a package once from China that literally went to Memphis and California, back and forth, six times before it finally went to Minneapolis and then on to Sioux Falls. I know they try to load balance and sometimes miss a scheduled shipment so go back to the origin facility in country, but that one was ridiculous.

    Yea I'm sort of curious how this happens as well. I also collect Figmas and other jp figures and sometimes they show up in new condition years after they've been released.

    Sometimes they buy older stock from other businesses. I don't know how often it happens but it does happen.

    So there's also Takara United figures for preorders. There is one that has my interest. Axalon. How is that mold? It's apparently an energon Sharkticon mold. How is that one?

    Haven't had that figure out in a looooong time. From what I can remember, it was a solid deluxe figure. Need to dig it back out to be sure. Memory isn't what it used to be.

    It's a solid figure. Just preordered one myself. Sharkticon has sort of been my standin for Cybertronian Battlecruisers for the Decepticons until Seige and some DOTM figures. It's a great design.

    Holy shit, my POL actually hit Grove City today, which means it will get delivered tomorrow. Took them forever to actually get thing out the door but two days to ship once it finally did? I think I'm gonna just stick with flat rate from now on.
