Amazon.ca Transformers Sightings and discussion

[Ransak The Elder]

Numerous people got it today from .com. Amazon.ca oddly has a review from the UK on it.

Ratchet and Lifeline finally made it to me, after an odd phone call from Amazon asking if I really wanted to hold delivery until Nov 30. WTF? I said no, and they said they would deliver today.

6:15pm I get a out for delivery notice, and its delivered at the same time.

What a weird ride, I really hope the other exclusive packs are much smoother.

The Amazon rep I spoke to said he's re sending some of my packages to make sure I get them, I got my first of those re sent packages...
...not the ratchet and medic set or the fast track I ordered (which are still mia) but these, I ordered 2 of these in May and got them after a huge hassle in late sept early Oct but now they ship me even more.


Now I have 6 of them, I'm going to sell them off for less than retail because I think I'm going to have to buy the ratchet medic set at after market prices and i want to make sure these sell (probably 25 cad a pop). Amazon Canada, especially halton hills facility suck ass so hard.
These were at no charge because Amazon is trying to make up for screwing me hard over the last 9 months of losing packages and canceling orders for no reason.

Gotta say, that's some decent customer service at least. At most I get a $5 credit after I contact them.

Just got Ratchet & Lifeline. Still love Ratchet's chunkiness. I think the sled is a nice touch, an homage to his G1 origins. The color scheme on Lifeline is so much more vibrant than Arcee's.

From video/pic reviews, I really like ER Ratchet's white tone much more than Siege. He looks way fucking cleaner and seems to pop. Same in hand?

Wish this hasn't such a pain in the ass to get.

ER Ratchet's white definitely pops compared to Siege. Siege ER is slightly yellowish. ERR's white is just a smidge whiter/cleaner than Red Alert's white.

Man, I can never get the legs right on the ER Arcee/Lifeline mold in car mode. It's always a struggle. The robot mode is great, car mode I think looks decent, but the transformation isn't clean at all.

I have Arcee, and the transformation is trash. I can more or less look past the fact that she literally wears her car around her robot mode. It's disappointing that the design doesn't have any clear tabs or slots to lock the legs and undercarriage into place. There are theoretically "proper" positions for the folded up legs but it isn't clean at all, and the clearance is terrible. The car parts are flimsy. It's the simplest, laziest thing and it's not even done well.

I am a forgiving motherfucker on most things TF. Arcee's car mode is really lousy.

Her robot mode is awesome, but y'know, it's an action figure.

The first explanation I saw about ER Arcee's Legs was on Chefatron's review on YouTube. If you didn't see those things he points out you'd never know how they fit.

Sightings-wise, Ratchet 2-pack appeared in an bubble envelope stuffed into the mailbox.

[Supernova]

Got my two pack today, too. Also in a bubble mailer, but it survived the journey well!
