Too specific to be generic. <br /><br />BTW, I've not had a problem with floppy limbs on my Metroplex. I didn't know that was an issue with the figure, actually. My only issue with the toy is that a lot of the stickers are really tough to put on and some are applied in places where they won't possibly stay forever (bending over corners, etc.).

If I keep on buying all these newer figures, it really takes away from my funds for the older G1 figures that I still need to get.acdecepticonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17244806619131442080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373995196714775112.post-2290306286441363652014-03-19T10:36:34.477-07:002014-03-19T10:36:34.477-07:00Yes, the Canadian Generations figure DO NOT come w...Yes, the Canadian Generations figure DO NOT come with the comics. It is such a let down, and in my opinion really cheapens the overall look of the packaged figure…especially since they use the same dumb generic cardboard artwork. The only reason I can think of would have to be a legal agreement that IDW has.<br /><br />I can't tell you how many Metroplex's I've seen at retail around here. for me personally, just based on the quality of the figure (how loose and floppy the limbs are) that if they were to drop the price below $100 I would then grab it.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Joeacdecepticonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17244806619131442080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373995196714775112.post-41702720186009638102014-03-19T10:29:27.441-07:002014-03-19T10:29:27.441-07:00I am keeping an eye out for a Skids for you.

If not I'd guess it's a language law thing. <br />Also here in Arkansas I've never actually seen a Metroplex at retail (got mine online). The last figure I actually found at retail was Skids, and that was at a supermarket, of all places.
