IMHO; one of the best Marvel x TF crossovers that got done.
Grey Hulk pretool for NA The Thing, also awesome.

Good choice, KTD.
Especially with the YOTD release on the way.

Thanks Shmax and mod team!
Always appreciated.

Ha, that is pretty awesome.
Seeing as Hallmark's TF offering this year is not so hot, this may be a good alternative.

Speaking of package condition, check this out..

Of the major retailers, though, I've only had one issue recently with Pulse...a beat-up Cyclonus.  Amazon, on the other hand, I've lost track of how many items I've received that were damaged due to them using a bubble mailer or plastic bag instead of a freaking cardboard box.
Duuuude, damn that is crazy.
At least you got the refund going on it but a shame that had to ship out like that in the first place.
I only recently got hipped to Bullseye and got a couple deals recently.
Of the the 4 items, i got only 1 that was mildly worse than expected.
But i will keep an eye out more closely now, down the line.

I had seen similar things on a smaller scale on my side but usually have success with most of it.
My roll of the dice is Amazon mainly but i can see it being an issue across the board.
Amazon's been worse in my experience. I've seen pics of MotU figures other people ordered from Amazon arriving with the cards bent and creased. And then there was Earthrise Ramjet & Dirge, who didn't even arrive in a shipping box, they just had the shipping label slapped right on their packaging (fortunately the label came off without too much hassle, but that's not the point).

Are you a Pulse premium member as well?
Yeah, I've been a member since it launched. That doesn't seem to make a difference.
Definitely agree Amazon is worse but i have only ever had bad luck, even then, at a minimal amount with them.
From what i understand, distribution center for the item has a lot to do with it.
Hey, at least its not Kmart, lol ;)
Not saying Pulse premium would make a difference, just more curious than anything else.
The advantage i have found with them, at least, is preordering solid waves will allow larger, better padded boxed shipments; assuming certain waves and classes thereof ship at the same time.

I've been trying to avoid Hasbro Pulse for anything smaller than Voyager class since the boxes have a tendency to arrive damaged more often than I'd like. But distribution has gotten so bad in my area that sometimes my choices are Pulse or eBay.
Very interesting. Damaged in what way?
I understand about distribution but that is why i really stopped doing store runs in lieu of online, years ago. 
I got sick of the gas and time usage vs just setting up preorders.

Pulse once again has all my Legacy United pre-orders covered, with Amazon filling in some gaps here and there.
Commander class Magmatron looks amazing.

I love all of those SA Jumpstarter repaints. So much depth and variance in them.
The 3P repaints from a few years ago of their Jumpstarter CHUGs was great as well.

I just added it: https://www.shmax.com/product_details/60842/megatron_water_gun

For future reference, for any other G1 merch stuff, especially things are one-offs, just go to the G1 Merchandise subcategory (https://www.shmax.com/products?q_filters_toyline=1213) and add it there.

Op Primal needs a Johnny Utah Crossover, lol
Stick a Keanu Reeves head onto a BW Dinobot body and call him "Johnny Utahraptor" (oof, that was bad).
Yessss! * shoots gun in air repeatedly
