Hasbro’s distribution hursts their storytelling. Last year Serpentor arrived before Mindbender. This year Strike Tram will arrive before Chuckles. Silly distribution.
Thwipp!
@prophet agreed. its going to be a piss off if the fire team comes in before the HISS
@yojoebro82 lol know I will be checking my email every 5 mins to see if mine shipped
I accidentally canceled my Crimson Alley Viper with Pulse

I have the Strike Team scheduled for Thursday and Chuckles for Friday, but Chuckles is further east and closer to my home. Outside shot they both arrive on Thursday. Although, this is FedEx, so you never know.
It's a good thing I'm not an in-package collector... FedEx just dropped off my Tripwire from Pulse and the package is completely caved in. Luckily it appears the figure is undamaged and all the accessories are intact - but I've legitimately never received a package in that condition before - it looks like someone dropped a bowling ball on it.
A big heavy box showed up today. I was surprised on how heavy the Crimson Strike Force box is. It looks so great!
Thwipp!
fyi, Crimson Baroness heads fit on the Retro/CI version of Baroness if you swap the neck with a movie Baroness. The necks swap with no trouble at all and the ball joint on movie Baroness neck (for the heads) is the same size as Crimson Baroness.
@snake-eyes-8181 No problem. I saw some people on the tfw2005 boards canceling their Crimson 3 packs because Baroness' heads weren't compatible with the CI/Retro mold but vaguely remembered that the necks from the movie and CI/Retro molds could be swapped, so tried it out and it works fantastically. Doesn't even look out of place in my opinion.
@fenrys no agreed looks great. I was pretty annoyed when I first got the set and the neck pegs were different. but this seems to solve that issue
@snake-eyes-8181 definitely helps that movie Baroness can be gotten for so cheap
Crimson Strike Team arrived and man, that package is great. Definitely keeping the package, but not sure how I'm gonna get the figures out without really messing it up. I definitely want to see these guys assembled with my Crimson Guards, Vipers, BATs.
Chuckles should be here tomorrow!

The packaging is really easy to get apart, the black part around the top of the figures just comes right off. From there each figures cardboard coffin can slide off of a cardboard rack. Then you can simply cut the ties off and reassemble the packaging.
I have Chuckles and the Strike team delivered. I would've liked another Baroness, but too hard to justify buying another set.
Just in case, does everyone know about the $15 Viper three packs at Ross?

Thanks, I actually just got through the whole package. But I don’t like to cut the ties. That was the challenge. When it was plastic trays, it was easier to replace the figures even if I cut the ties. With these, if I want to replace them, without the ties they’d just flop around. Now I can still secure them with most of the ties that are left (I had to cut the waist tie for Baroness). I even cut the accessory bags with scissors to keep that as neat and crisp as possible. I folded them neatly and put them back in each of their boxes.
