I know, right? I've handled Cyclonus and he's that much more solid.

For the retro headmasters, I've got to ask: even at retail price, are these worth it for toys that were on shelves just a few years ago?

Considering that the almost exact same toys were 15$ when they were out just 3-4 years ago. It's a serious kick in the teeth and shows how it's all BS (the price hike)

So... it's all about if you consider them worth it. I missed out on a Brainstorm then, never saw it in stores, so I accepted the price and got one.

As figures goes, it feels like the same quality as the TR toys I have, so had to floor polish the ball joints almost right away, but I do love the figure, it does look great and I'm enjoying it. I actually didn't think I 'd enjoy the new face mold, but I actually prefer it as it makes it different from my 30th version.

So worth it? Having the figure because I enjoy it = yes. It is worth double the price? No, not at all. Trouble is, getting a TR version will be as expensive or more due to scalping, unless you go for KOs (which I almost did a 100 times).

I bought SS Blurr and I don't know where I put him.

As I like to say about things I have misplaced...

"It's not lost. Just some place safe, so safe no one knows where it is."

SS Blurr is kinda disappointing. I don't hate him, but he's lacking... something. I can't really pin point it, but he doesn't hit the spot like SS Jazz does.

I'm certain others have vented about this already, but I really despise Pulse for being so unkind to us Canadians with their shipping. I very badly want Tricranius, but the extra costs they have to stack on leave it at over sixty dollars to import a Deluxe one country over. It doesn't really feel worth it to pay double, but as this is a freaking exclusive I'm kind of stuck. I'd like to think when the pandemic is no longer a major problem they'll open up a Canadian division of Pulse, hopefully.

His stupid face is stupid.

And those horrible forearms.

I think the shipping is fine, if (and it's a big IF) their stuff is in stock and I can fill up on all of the items I want and do a one purchase. I think 40 dollar shipping is reasonable if you're able to get say 5 or 6 items at once. But given most desirable items sell out with in 30 mins of dropping, you're left either paying 40 shipping for 1 or 2 items or not getting getting items at all. Hard to believe that BBTS has stock but Hasbro Pulse doesn't.

Okay, I thought I was high thinking that leader classes looked small. I had the Kingdom Megs and I took him out of the box, and I thought he looked pretty tiny for a leader. Compared him to POTP Roddy and Optimus and my suspicions were correct.

Also, I hate exclusives.

Going through my storage locker recently, I found Titans Return Cosmos & Seaspray, totally forgot I bought them 3+ years ago.

Once you find SS Blurr, it'll feel like found money!
