And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.
I’ve heard that some people are getting their Amazon orders now, so my fingers are crossed. I need that microscope man!

I picked him up in a Smyths yesterday, today I dug out a sniper rifle for him, and now he can go on the Wreckers shelf.

He's really good!

I guess having a pair of chain guns just isn't that badass compared to the new guy that can shoot lightning bolts out his rear end or your boss who can now turn into a plane and a tank as well as a monkey

Hasbro did this with a Legacy Megazord, but it wasn't a lottery. It was "Buy NFT for $250"->"Exchange NFT for Megazord"
Which, well, why did we need to bring NFTs into this

Now it's "Buy NFT for $x and maybe you get an awful vinyl figure maybe"
WHY INVOLVE NFTS. THEY ADD NOTHING TO THIS EXPERIENCE

At this point in time it's one of two things:

1. Out-of-touch execs who have heard 'somewhere' that all the kids are into these "NFT" things

2. All of your favorite brands are tied up in money laundering somehow.

I got SS Bee movie Ratchet and Wheeljack over the past couple of days. Overall neat toys, but both had floppy hips. They've each got different kinds of hip setups, wheeljack has ball jointed his and Ratchet has swivels. Not sure if this is a common issue, but be on the lookout if you plan to grab these. UPS lost or mislpaced Brawn, so I don't have him yet.

Yeah, both mine had floppy hips too. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it’s certainly a point against.

UPS lost or misplaced my Ratchet (package undeliverable) but I got a replacement yesterday. Haven't opened them yet, though.

Brawn's great, I think the best of the deluxe. The only thing I want that he doesn't have is an upper-arm swivel, but his shoulders have a good range of motion anyway, so that's kinda like wishing for a pony at this point.

Got my Kingdom Blaster yesterday and he's quite good. Like, even his alt mode is fun. Dunno why, but I'm digging it.

Would be nice if Eject wasn't clear blue, but eh, he's gonna live in Blaster's tape deck anyway, so no biggie.

It does, doesn't it? It isn't, though. You can tell because lazerbeak is a transformer and this is just a small plastic rectangle with a couple of sloppy paint apps on one side

Isn’t that the Core class soundwave? Laserbeak is like the size (and thickness) of an SD card, what were you expecting? Would you have rather they not include him at all, I guess?
