Because HTS send the order in more than one shot if they go beyond 3 figures or something. I dealt with them ONCE. Not only they charge taxes, they charge my ass 30$ base Fedex shipping for a order of ONE minimicro figure. Then, the shipping cost increase and increase as I add figures to the cart. Then, they MUST use FedEx for me. Meaning I had to change the shipping address to my workplace or I'll had to go to the NEXT TOWN AIRPORT to get my package! They also sent my order of six figures in 3 different packages over a week!
TlDr:
HTS is awesome ONLY if you are American.
For anyone else, go to BBTS or any other online shops instead.

Well, that was true for me. Read my original post again. As an American, not only you have cheap or FREE shipping from HTS, you can have your stuff in one go. I'm CANADIAN so I'm screwed. 30$ base shipping costs, taxes anyway, FedEx mandatory, and an order shipped in more than one shot obligatory at my workplace.
So, never again.

I missed out on their Skids the first time it was available because it didn't get posted on the site at the same time as Dreadwing, Goldfire, and Waspinator. I blame their IT department for not getting it posted at the same time. It was about a week later before Skids did appear and it alone wouldn't qualify for free shipping at the time and $30 for a Hasbro Deluxe is just too much. Good quality 3rd party deluxe figures is the exception to that rule.

HTS10DISC isn't working and HTS is charging taxes on top of it. I'll just wait for BBTS.

A relatively minor thing all things considered, but I guess someone missed the memo that Camians don't like to use guns.
Oh well, I'm sure we can count on Dr. Wu or Shapeways for a 3rd party halberd.

The gun is actually Arcee's gun from the G1 movie:Shuttershock wrote:Pretty good for a heavy retool.

Or at least loosely inspired by it.

Good spot. Wonder why the Generations Arcee isn't using it?
Still, the point remains that Chromia has been shown most prominently as a melee combatant.

It might not have been doable on any of Arcee's plastic sprues. So they probably figured people would be getting both anyway, and so found a way to still give us the gun, even if it comes with someone else.Shuttershock wrote:Good spot. Wonder why the Generations Arcee isn't using it?
After all, DOTM Megatron's shotgun came with AOE Evasion Mode Optimus.

Yeah, I'm sure that was deliberate when they made DOTM Megs.
I just find it funny that they gave her a gun and not a halberd, especially since Generations has been pretty good about giving the right weapons to the right people.
For Spark's sake, Skids comes with a Nudge Gun!

As for her having a gun, didn't she have one in the G1 cartoon? Because I seem to remember her having one there.

One of the fun things with the Generation line is seeing how repaints/remolds can get turned around. Case it point, way back when Gears was the original figure while Swerve was the remold. 30 years later with Swerve being a more popular character we see Gears as a repaint of that Legends figure. Surprisingly the joints are a little bit tighter so take care moving them around, other than that this is a fine figure worthy of your collection.

Thanks, I'm losing it this week.

Any time
Swerve and Gears are required purchases for me. I just hope I can find the latter when moving.

He's not part of the "list of 30 randomly picked exclusives and special releases". "Thrilling 30" refers to the line of the year as a whole.

If those were applied and the area surrounding the head were simply blue, I think it would resemble the original character a lot more.
Saying this for customizers out there... and because I plan to paint mine this way.

I don't "think" Gears is identifying himself as female in the comics... unless there's something I've missed recently (???).

He was talking about Chromia from the previous news post.

I seem to recall her using a gun at least once or twice in Windblade's series. Might be wrong though.

I also like how they made the wheel struts out of clear plastic to make them look like they're not actually connected, but rather sort of "float" in place. Really adds to the whole lightcycle thing. I am worried about them breaking, though. Clear plastic can be a bitch.

its just so close its unreal.
really like the look of her too but odds are like most TF stuff no it wont hit the shelves in ireland.
we get nothing nowadays, ya shoulda seen the AOE stuff. nothing past the flip and change stuff as generations and stuff like thats been kept to UK retailers.
still i like her enough to maybe buy on line but the postal charges put ya off.
well see.
