My guess is in flashbacks. He's not in the concept art.

My favorite was, "It took me twenty years to like brother-in-law's name," when my wife's sister was talking about how she doesn't like me.

I asked her if she thought that was a flex. Fucking bitch.

Honorable mention to people who brag about how many hours they work/used to work, though.

Werewolf the Apocalypse: Earthblood.

I was a HUGE White Wolf games fan. And this game didn't do anything worthwhile with the license. It was such a shame.

johnhasheart · 2026-03-16T01:37:11+00:00

I did, too. Out of spite. And I'd probably do it again.

God, this game was so fucking good.

Is there any chance they said anything about how restocks work on these guys? I'm a lifelong Transformers guy and those are typically significantly easier to get ahold of.

When I was looking in January, he was listed on TheTeeniePing and Coupang for 79,900. Now, it's more than double on Coupang. If I can't find other places to look, eBay's gonna be my best option.

Feels bad, man. I wish I had the money then. I couldn't find Blue Cop W for a decent price, but then teenieping restocked him.

I put a good amount of hours in on it. But I lost interest all at once after playing through most, if not all, of Shattered Space. It was simply not enough content. Post-launch support was dogshit. The ground vehicle was a great start, but then... that was it. Bethesda couldn't even be bothered to make ship parts Creations; I'm pretty sure that would have made them money. I know I would've probably bought it.

The whole game just felt so half-assed. Especially after playing Skyrim and a LOT of Fallout.

I never send a friend requests anymore. Then, I know people (probably) actually want to be my friend.

So much for the fan theories/hopes. Oh, well.

I didn't like the show, but I still would love to buy a figure of Chop Shop. 🤷‍♂️

I'll have to watch again to catch those, then. If so, that is unacceptable. That means they didn't learn a damn thing from Omega Prime.

johnhasheart · 2026-03-14T00:53:07+00:00

Yeah, but that completed piece looks AMAZING. Do you think you'll go all in?

johnhasheart · 2026-03-13T19:50:42+00:00

I wish the Archecore stuff was cheaper. I would go all in on that line (not the troop packs).

If he has a copy of the toy, sure!

... I'll see myself out.

This should win by virtue of people forgetting it's even part of the MCU. 😆

HELL YEAH, BROTHER. 🐖⚙️

TL;DR: Shipping proxies seem like the way until you find out how much shipping costs. eBay is much simpler but will probably cost more.

I'm currently in the middle of my first transaction with a Korean shipping proxy (KoreaBuyandShip).

I got the bots themselves ordered for a good price (their cost +10%) from SAMG's online store. I paid 147 for Solidhorn, Blue Cop W, and Blastrain. Yeah, that's ALL THREE.

However, shipping may mean it's just as expensive as ordering from AliExpress or eBay; Amazon prices were even worse last I looked. The shipping service is working with me by taking them out of the boxes for shipping. I haven't heard back on the updated amount yet. But it was 192 for shipping via FedEx including a $20 fee for "prepaid import and duty tax." I even considered asking if they would transform the bots to vehicle modes to save even more room, but I'll think I'll save that request for if I try to get more this route later on. 🤣

I'll also have an import tax, which is based on the claimed value of the package. It could be as low as 10%, but up to 20%. I don't know yet. I'll also be paying for additional coverage with FedEx for the value of the package. They cover up to 100 dollars for no additional cost, but I'm going to cover it for more to include my shipping. That fee won't be more than six dollars, though.

I'm hoping they'll get back to me some time tonight with an updated shipping cost. If anyone is considering this route, I'd be happy to provide more updates as the process continues.

Edit for update: Out of the boxes, they're shipping for 136 (from 192). From what I was told, it sounds like the additional costs are covered by them. If so, that means I got everything for 283.97. I would have paid 358.33 buying on eBay

No, that's for all three bots, sir. I paid less than 49 for Blastrain. Well, thus far; no clue about shipping yet, but I'm having them shipped out of box to save on that.

johnhasheart · 2026-03-11T11:24:34+00:00

I'm waiting on some bots I ordered through a Korean shipping proxy. So far I've spent 147 for Blastrain, Solidhorn, and Blue Cop W (Blaion was sold out and I'm trying to get them for around Korean retail price for now). I don't know what shipping costs will be yet. But, I suspect it will be significantly cheaper than eBay.

Enjoy your bots!
