And you live in Calgary? That's, what, a 3 hour drive each way? I hope gas is a lot cheaper out there.

I don't even like driving the 40 minutes from Montreal to the NY border.

I like driving and I only go every 6 months

Gas is the same amount you pay for shipping converted to CDN

Something about the face sculpts just look off, like the figure belongs to a different line.
The smiling face especially looks like dog shit.

It's that it looks TOO realistic. A problem too many Legends now have cause for whatever reason the ML team likes the face sculpts to look like real people instead of comic characters.

Actually part of the problem is how they designed the head/face swapping.


The mask is static and the face/eyes have to go under that to fit. The problem is that the mask has a specific design so the brow area is more geared towards the angry and stoic faces. That means when the smiling face is put in it looks a bit psychotic. Almost like someone saying in an angry voice "I'm happy see!!! I'm smiling aren't i?"

I noticed this too. It's weird and creepy.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised since the Ghost was $100US for Canadian shipping. It seems Hasbro isn't subsidizing the shipping costs anymore.



I recently wanted to see what shipping from the US is like for smaller guys. So I went to Nerdzoic during his sale where he had whole ML waves for under $100US (Armadillo wave, etc.). For two whole waves of ML (which I would assume would ship in their cases) it was just shy of $70US from his location (Pennsylvania) to me in Ottawa!!!!


So shipping has definitely gone haywire and we will have to suffer it for Haslabs going forward it seems.



I'll probably bite on this, but I'll wait and see how it goes because I can't see, yet, which way it will go. I think this will be a tough slog to unlock, but if it does then it should get to all the unlocks.

Pulse has gone off the deep end for shipping on Haslabs. I shipped 3 Sentinels to me in 2021 for 29.99 USD total. Now they are charging per item with no volume discount. It's a price gouge. I have e-mailed them multiple times (it may do no good I realize) advocating for free shipping for Pulse Premium members and a return to the past shipping calculation for Haslabs. The Ghost cost me 20% in shipping of the retail price! Ridiculous! It will also likely ship from their warehouse in Longueuil, Quebec, which should also reduce shipping (but it won't). They need to do better for their Canadian customers.
