The price on Airazor has been fixed, it's now MSRP (32.99), I preordered along with Dinobot

Hopefully Amazon makes it safer for workers at that site, but 2 weeks shutdown isn't alot of time to implement any significant changes. The vaccine can't come soon enough.

Amazon treats its staff like animals. Read the horror stories online.. countless strikes and protests in the states. People dying at work and others having to work around the body while management figures out what to do. If you wondering how Bezos became a billionaire? it was at the expense of his employees.

But when Botropolis appeared, and even was on a slight discount? Figured "nope, buy it, don't want to be chasing aftermarket on these", it's already going for $100+ in places
Just bite the bullet now

Also yes, I love the decos, and enjoy the modulators, so it really a foregone conclusion for me (don't even have Sky Lynx yet)

Yeah I've committed to not buying any figures (transformers, star wars, etc) from Amazon this year unless it's an exclusive. I'd rather pay the extra $2 to support a local store.

Same here...very difficult to get items in great shape from Amazon as well. Unfulfilling indeed...

Re: Amazon.ca Transformers Sightings and discussion

Slightly unrelated, but does anyone have experience with these stands and Transformers? How good would these be at displaying things like kingdom. Say, Primal, as an example.

They are all pretty the same, all fairly simple and cheap stands. They can do the job for figures that aren't heavy, but don't expect them to support something too heavy at weird/fancy angles, but done right, they can support up to voyager sized figures. (see picture)

The weakest point is the claw part that easily break. If the figure has a 3mm hole, it's better to use it than try to balance it otherwise with the claw part.

Do you have any better suggestions?
