Yeah, I am going to open Hook/Long Haul today to inspect them for damage. If I don't see any, the reality is that I probably won't reach out to them. I've done the customer service angle a couple of times through them for similar issues, and it's been like pulling teeth.

Yeah but like, some of it is pretty cool, and does a good job of housing TFs if/when they're not on display somewhere. I get it though: I'm working through a collection inventory / purge (haven't done one in about a decade), and I'm parting ways with a lot of packaging I don't want anymore.

I didn't realize there were options for shipping, tbh (I sprung for Premium so shipping would be free). Guess I can take a gander at that at some point.

I have used BBTS for many, many years, and still do. The peace of mind and attention to detail with packaging make it worth it for me, along with having items that I can't (or don't want) to get anywhere else. However, I do use Pulse and Amazon for mainline releases when I can, just to keep...

Well, that sucks. I just got SS86 Commander Hook/Long Haul from them yesterday, and the shipping box and package were beaten to hell and back. Didn't have time to check the contents, but this has been a semi-regular occurrence for me with Pulse shipping.

Ah...memories! X-9 Ravage was the very first JDM toy I bought, back when it was released. I don't think that any of the subsequent "updates" have been as good as that original release. I still have it and still have a soft spot for it. Oh yes, the topic, packaging. There has been a lot to...

I've gotten a similar message from them a few times, but haven't needed to actually change any payment info. Not sure why it happens. It's 2025, and everyone's confused!

Yeah, at north of $400, I'm not so sure I'd be swayed by ten bucks off. Still, something is better than nothing, I suppose.

Looks like there is/was/will be a price drop for Predaking through BBTS. $439 instead of $449.

Yeah, this thing is incredible-looking for sure. I really like Predaking and I like a lot about these designs. I just don't $450 like it.

I don't really care, as long as the end result is a huge, imposing combiner that is ready to do battle (or you know, look good on my shelf).

Plus shipping on top of it. But if you want one and can't find one at retail, it's still an okayish option.

Oh, you mean a "Sleep Mode" Starscream? :LOL:

Yeah, it's why I went with a lil edit ;)

It's a nice little sticker of Slizardo, but it probably isn't worth the $90 you'll pay for the set (hyperbole, but still). Edit: Eh, it's on sale and 11-ish bucks isn't too bad, if there are other stickers in the set you would use.

I just think they maybe should've waited and created an all-new mold to begin with, if the plan was to turn around a couple of years later and do "brand new". And I get the whole "they're a company/tring to make money/ upscaling CHUG was easy money" stance. It's just that I'm honestly at 100%...

Just not understanding the need for a new seeker mold?? But okay, sure, new Thundercracker, I guess.

So like, any word on Swindle? It's cool seeing Blast Off, Brawl and a little bit about Onslaught, but just wondering if any mention has been made.

So is the the truth...

Okay, both of these are pretty darn cool. And it is so refreshing that they are just...straight up *new* characters.
