The nitpick about the verification of the parent's message being "yeah, that's legit. Let's just carry on" bothered me a bit, too when I was watching the movie, but I do understand not wanting to devote a larger chunk of screen time to expanding that as a sub-plot. Had I been making the movie...

Q: How is Christmas like your birthday? A: Each marks one more set of steps on the inexorable march towards oblivion!

I would love to get a new Powermaster OP with this as a remold! It wasn't long ago at all that the team gave us the ol' wink-and-nod and "hinted" that Monstructor was definitely on the way.

Any similarity to Ice Age is purely accidental! I had a hard time trying to get across the idea that the mammoth was under attack. It didn't help that none of the figures in that picture are very poseable.

Ha! Sorry, just having a bit of fun. Not really referencing anything, just supposed to be a pack of saber-toothed tigers attacking a mammoth. I realized that I had 3 robot saber-tooths, so I was going to get a picture of them together. At the last minute, I decided that they needed to be...

Sorceress is Alpha Trion, obvs.

Same as I said earlier, I've never cared one way or the other for He-Man, but a Greyskull / Fort Max? Sign me the frick up!

With Pulse, I mostly get DHL, sometimes FedEx. DHL shipments are, by far, worse. I live about 2-1/2, maybe 3 hours south of the Chicago warehouse, so for UPS shipments, that's a one day journey. For FedEx, it's usually 2 days. DHL will spend 7-10 days bouncing the package between multiple...
