Mine arrived yesterday from an Entertainment Earth preorder. Not much to say about it, it's a repaint. If you got Inferno you know what to expect.
EE's shipping boxes though, let me tell you, those are some absolute cringe. "Who's ready for an unboxing?" plastered on the side makes me suddenly not want to unbox anything, rather, it makes me question some of my life choices.

Although most toy distributors have their name on the package, there is something to be said for plain brown boxes vs "hey something cool is inside you definitely want to steal"

That's how I feel about Amazon using tape that says "Prime Day!" all over it for Prime Day packages, there's more likely to be something expensive in there. Just glad I live on a private road and don't have to worry about porch pirates. Hasbro Pulse boxes annoy me a little, too, not everyone needs to know I'm buying toys.
Thanks to Scotty I'm now having some regrets choosing to order MP Thundercracker from EE.

Mine should be arriving Wednesday from Gamestop. They have stepped up in a big way this year for my orders, I have cancelled almost all of my marvel Legends preorders thanks to them, and they have been good on Black Series as well. I actually got my Waspinator and Shadow Panther from them too.
Will be my first experience with the Grapple/Inferno mold too

Other than possible theft by other interested parties I couldn't care less about who knows what I'm buying.

Over the years I'm sure we've all had our fair share of judgement on our chosen hobby. For me, that time of even slight concern for the thoughts of the small-minded is long over.

Yeah, for me it was called Jr High and Highschool (1988-1994), while I still read the ciomics,I stopped collecting toys entirely. But with the coming of G2 in a mostly pre-internet, pre-eBay world, that's when I really tried to reconnect. That was a very fun and interesting time to be a collector.

As a FedEx Enployee, the first time I found out Pokémon Center has a box tape decorated with Pokeballs Pikachus and CHarizards wearing postal satchels was in the middle of the sort when like 20 of these boxes showed up and I had to fight so hard to keep my geek flag from totally unfurling right there with 50 complete strangers

Man, there's so much that would be illegal about that display in the US. Gotta love Japan.

Cartoon characters used for selling alcohol (doesn't matter if the cartoon character is for adults, too) and alcohol being displayed with products intended for children. The first one is definitely a big no-no, the latter would probably just get a lot of complaints and most stores around here wouldn't do it in the first place.

The first one would never get past the label approval. The requirements are ridiculously strict. My neighbor owns a brewery that uses a mythical beast theme (centaur, satyr, etc.) and they can't use any of their trademark characters even though they have zero connection to anything for kids, and their products can only be sold in their brewery and liquor stores.

Weird, at least in Canada we can have mythical beasts and other cool stuff, like a Kraken.
But Captain Morgan is a cartoon Pirate (on the label) and he's available in the US. I guess the requirements are less strict when you pay in dubloons.

Gonna disagree big time. He looks like any stereotypical pirate drawing from a kids book. I have a bottle at home and my kids thought it was captain hook at first.
If they didn't have the rhum at the bottom of this photo, I would be sure this was an illustration meant for kids related media.
