They figured, "by the time these suckers realize the pegs are too small, we'll already have their money."
As much as I want Beast Wars toys, more than anything else for Transformers, really, I kind of hope every single leak about future releases is fake just to permanently kill this ridiculous feeding frenzy of "speculation" that fills up every thread.
Someone speculated that the next titan class was the Vok and I lost 50 brain cells. Unless your name is Dan Aykroyd, there is no way in hell anyone will pay 150 dollars for a glass skull.
I'm beginning to think that wave 2 of Earthrise is a collective hallucination. I've had them preordered for so long at this point that I'm beginning to doubt they ever existed. And I'm damn sick of all the exclusive main figures that Hasbro keeps shoving at stores that refuse to stock them. The Target exclusives really piss me off. Target used to be easy to grab exclusives at, but the past couple years anything they get exclusive wise just never shows up locally, and the site ALWAYS says their out of stock, except for that thirty second window where somebody pops in to the thread about them to say they're in stock. By the time I see the post, and get to the site, they're out of stock again. And don't get me started on Walmart. The only place that seems to be able to handle exclusives in a decent manner at all is Amazon. Everybody else just keeps faceplanting as hard and as fast as they can with them. It's maddening.
I hate that the paint the use on figures now is so weak that I essentially have to go buy some clear coat to make them last 2 months
I thought TF fans had it bad with problems from hastak but power ranger fans basically got told on the last fan Friday stream to go fuck themselves over the QC issues and to deal with it.
Modern QC is a joke. Mistakes happen, but some of this stuff gets ridiculous. They forgot to put the pins in on Dirge’s arm joints. I’m slightly pissed now, considering a few weeks back I got my brother a new Skywarp and Thundercracker pack that was missing the weapons.
You know something's wrong when even BBTS is sold out. The extra $1 or $2 usually buys me alot of time to buy stuff. Not right now though...
Welp, Amazon/USPS fucked me out of getting a complete set of Coneheads. I don't think the post office lost them because according to the tracking they never received them. But looks like I'm not going to receive them either. Fucking fantastic.
The coneheads will drive me nuts. I wasn't into the seeker mold in Earthrise for the longest time, then somebody posted some pics that were just killer and I started to succumb. And now it feels like it's too late to grab the others.
Def not too late to grab skywarp and TC. They have been popping in and out of stock online all week plus many local targets are getting restocked. Both of my local targets show them in stock right now and they had been out of stock for weeks prior to that. The coneheads however? That could be an issue given they are pushing back delivery on many people who pre ordered them...
