This is noted under the add to cart button.

All of last years exclusives that are still in stock have the same disclaimer. I guess they will ship it in an envelope or box if available, because mine all came in boxes last year. But they put it there to Cover their backsides, so now they don't have to issue refunds when people do get lousy shipments without box or packaging of any kind

Regarding Spinister, it's awesome that we're getting a new, wholly G1-inspired update of the character, but I just released that Spinister has gotten a LOT of love over the past several years. Not only do we have the Targetmaster version of him from Hasbro (was paired with Legends Nemesis Prime), but FunPub gave us TWO different Deluxe Class redecos for the TFCC as well. This is the FOURTH version of Spinister available in seven years, though it is the first mass retail one (at the correct size class) since G1, I suppose.

Maybe Spinister is just inexplicably popular?

He and Crankcase are the last members of the IWD Scavengers that are missing in the Generations line.

[Skritz]

I'm hoping he gets retooled into someone just because we always need more choppers. Yes I know we got Springer too but still. Maybe Rotorstorm?

This just means that they're shipped in Hasbro boxes, similar to retail case boxes. On the side, mine says "TRA WFC DLC GREENLIGHT WITTH BATTLEMASTE" under the Hasbro logo, along with other identifying text.

That picture is ... not the standard shipping situation.

Regarding Greenlight, I found this unfortunate photo online of a delivery:

Well that's real **** up. I ordered a PS classic and it came just with a shipping sticker on it. Fortunately it wasn't messed up and the stickers came right off.

Well crap on a stick. I didn't even think I had to cover my ass when checking out. WTF?

Guess we'll see.

He has a really good name, that's for sure.

Back to that double cockpit, it's not necessarily an artifact of the original toy. Take a look at his original box art:

carytheone, maybe you should read the post directly above yours

[Sentinel_Primal]

Oh my god Apeface is glorious! It's literally my biggest weakness: triple changing beastformer with a great vehicle mode in black and purple. Spinister is also great and I love the colors. Astrotrain is cool, but I'll wait for reviews. And Crosshairs... Well, I'm already getting two of the mold, and you're not one of them

[Wireless_Phantom]

Well, I'm getting all of these. I do wish Crosshairs had a new gun, rather than just the same one Ironhide came with, but it's good enough.

[DMSL]

These all look great, i want them all.

APEFACE APEFACE APEFACE, so excited for him! Glad he is a Headmaster, shame Spinister and Crosshairs are not Targetmasters.

[Wireless_Phantom]

I think I'm going to have to sell some stuff to afford everything I want to get.

Technically anyone can be a Targetmaster if they got 5mm ports in their hands!

Well, it's not like their ports and fists are going to be incompatible with 5mm pegs...
As for their partners, Trenchfoot might work as a kinda-sorta fill-in for Pinpointer. And we're getting Hairsplitter AKA "Shrute" in the Skywarp set.

Well, to be a full one they also need a suitably placed 5mm port on their altmmode.

[Munkky]

Not bad stuff at all, though probably not for me. As great as Astrotrain looks, I'm happy with my Titans Return Voyager, and I'm not very attached to the other three characters. Right now I'm thinking Titan Omega Supreme and a Deluxe Brunt (or four) and Ratchet will be the only other things I get from Siege, because my collecting is mostly focusing on Studio Series now.

For those who are worried, this is what my Amazon Greenlight package looks like.

The only time you would need to select the "Amazon packaging" option is if it's a surprise for your kid. Or if you don't want your wife to know you got another transformer, because don't you already have enough? and you're taking about having another kid, and sure the apartment is probably big enough for the next few years, but after that you'll need another bedroom, and there's no way you're moving into another apartment, and have you seen home prices lately? and you definitely need to be setting aside more money every month, and yes it's only $30 but if you add that to all of your BBTS orders it starts to add up, and are you sure your priorities are in the right place? and ...

Anyway, there aren't many scenarios where you wouldn't want the Hasbro package, but there are some.

Hope this helps.

You win today.

The fact that Astrotrain has a tender now makes me want redecos of him as Edward, Henry, Gordon, and James.

"great vehicle mode"

Can someone define tender for this situation? I work in POS and tender only means one thing to me outside of soft.

The jet mode looks great to me. Though to be fair, I have very odd standards when it comes to "great"

Hey, come on, this is hardly our first brick-with-wings!
