That Snake Eyes is based on the look of his second action figure:

Correct. He was coloured all black because they couldn't afford any more paint apps.

Earlier today I saw online that Beach Head was available at the Target on my way home from work - 12 minutes later and yep, it's sold if it even really was in stock to begin with.

If one is looking for the amazon Storm Shadow take a look at amazon.ca, he's been constantly in stock. They almost certainly ship to the States and the only real problem is it might be a bit slow mail wise.

Keep checking they tend to have that up for the US or Canadian side on some things but it usually goes away at some point before releases happen. Seen it happen.

Definitely jealous of everyone else getting their Supreme commanders, but I have high hopes I'll get mine once hasbro answers my missing item request!

Sorry to hear yours is lost in the ether, I hope they help. They use to be quite great once upon a time, I recall a story of a kid who way back in the day saved up enough to get four Hiss tanks and sent in the stuff. Now it shipped but went missing, the kid contacted Hasbro and they said no problem, shipped out exactly what he ordered.
Later the original Hiss tanks showed up as well so he ended up with eight of them.

Is the 40K fan base that problematic? The people in the 40K threads on this forum seem pretty sane, as do the people who frequent my local GW store.

Like yeah the fiction and lore has the Imperium as the grimmest, darkest, fascist, expansionist, militaristic, violently xenophobic regime possible, but from what I’ve seen of the fan base they seem pretty “in on the joke”.

He’s so racist he’s not allowed to call himself ‘Arch Warhammer’ anymore because GW made him change it to distance him, and anyone who works with him isn’t allowed to work with GW.

Yup. He had connections to them for a time, pretty sure one guy on his way out of the company or a game developer even lambasted Arch and the company put up an apology for it. Around that time his reputation was already considered bad so not many agreed with the apology, most agreed with the ex employee.

Some time after that I remember one Warhammer youtuber though I forget his name actually did a nice video where he said it shouldn't matter who you are, straight, gay, bi, trans, french or whatever you should be allowed to freely play Warhammer and that you were loved. Quite a few WH youtubers cheered
him on, but the dislikes was rather high.

So yeah, there is a divide.

Women speak out about Warren Ellis: 'Full and informed consent was impossible'
This article is more than 11 months old

Scores of women are publishing details of their relationships with the Transmetropolitan writer, who they say offered mentorship in exchange for sexual contact. But they don’t want him cancelled – they want a conversation

In June this year, as scores of young women began to publicly make allegations about the behaviour of men in senior positions in comics and science fiction writing, several women began to speak about their relationships with Ellis, some dating back to the early 2000s.

Now, more than 60 women have come together to launch the website So Many of Us, to document their concurrent relationships with Ellis and encourage others to come forward. They allege that Ellis has pursued sexual relationships with a staggering number of his female fans, all the while deceiving them about the number of relationships he was in; based on the account of these women, it appears he was maintaining at least 19 relationships simultaneously at one point in 2009.

Amazon is insanely good for refunding you. I've had items from third parties never show up and if it doesn't get to you then you can refund.

Hell even if you get it and don't like it you can toss it in a box and send it back getting a refund.

I've had that happen, usually seems like in those cases they're trying to wait out the 30 days so they get the money.

The item never shows up, so if you feel like your in this situation, just click on the refund button in your orders for it and go from there.

Was finally around two different stores that carried toys and they actually had He-Man stuff there much to my surprise. It brings back memories, I didn't buy anything mind you. There was no sign of any actual He-Man or Skeletor figures. But oh man there were two there that littered the shelves and pegs.

Rolls of Ram Man and Clamp Champ. There were so many of those two I was left wondering if they over shipped them or not. Both places were packed with them. Little of anything else.

The Go Bot command ship was awesome.

I swear every kid had one at the time.

One thing people forget about the Go Bots is that they had real brains in robot bodies.

Added thought:

Go Bots in their design remind me much more of the Bay style than Transformers themselves regularly do.

Why so expensive? Normally they're much cheaper. Or are you trying to find one sold out for months now, if that's the case I suggest waiting. They do tend to redo some down the line and such a figure like that is bound to show up again.
