    I found the reason for the high shipping before was because it wasn't sold by Amazon, it was sold by another seller. These are the first Smokescreens I have seen from Amazon since I first saw them. (And before the prices crept up to $25 a pop too!)

    It may have been out of stock for a while, so when TC saw them, it would have defaulted to the next "cheapest" ones by a non-Amazon source.

    But Smokescreen was one that had the wrong weight on it before. It still does, but not as bad. Before it was 8.9 pounds, and now it is 1 pound (it should be about half a pound). Since it was about 20 times the weight it should be, it was costing a lot in shipping.

    It looks hopeful, as they got the Wreckers in, and I didn't expect those to get much of a release. Amazon have been pretty good lately with Generations, getting in all of the different sizes lately... so I'd be surprised if they miss that wave now that we have the line continuing past FOC packaging.

    Generations Blaster FINALLY in stock at Amazon - US$23.
    And Generations Grimlock for anyone wanting its casemate at the same time - US$23.

    Most online stores have been selling Blaster for over US$40 because of its rarity (1 in a case of 4)... and I ended up paying $40 at BotCon for mine.

    Drat, Grimlock is 'heavy' compared to other Voyagers.
    List weight is 1.4lb compared to 11oz for Blaster
