    My store's redesign is scheduled for... June or July, I can't remember. Glad I don't have to wait that long for Studio Series.

    Wave one of a movie line does NOT equal rare. Putting them up for triple price is downright thievery. Well, that is if people didn't actually give these ass hats validation for their ways buy actually buying these figures for the markup.
    Oh well, fools and money and all that.
    I have just as much respect for the buyers as I have for the flippers.

    Personally, I have Grimlock from HTS waiting at home for me to open, and will get Blackout once they start saturating like all wave one figures do.

    Getting ready to go check Target here in New Mexico! I need this for my nephew's birthday next week... Oh yeah, my birthday is also on Sunday, so this would be the ULTIMATE birthday present for both of us!

    Edit: Nothing at my local Target yet. Talked to a worker who was putting clearance stickers on other Transformers stuff right at that moment, and she said that they didnt get any new Transformers stuff on their truck today, but they’re getting another truck tomorrow and Friday, so hopefully they get something.

    2nd Edit: And Amazon now has them in stock. $50 each for Blackout and Grimlock!

    If that can stand in scale perfectly with Studio Series Brawl.

    Blackout 1.jpg 20180409_174259.jpg

    Here in Tampa went to 3 different Targets and 4 different Walmarts, found him at Target on my very last store on the search list sitting all by himself! With around $4 in gas money & $53.40 for the figure, I got him for a grand total of around $57.50.

    With his legs stretched out all the way, he measures just about exactly 9 inches/22.86 centimeters tall.

    Cheapest price on Ebay right now is $80, with the most expensive one at $125.50. CRAZY!!! Aint no scalpers gonna be gouging me, & none of yall should let them either. Just be patient, he'll be everywhere soon.

    Funnily enough, 2 of the 4 Walmarts had all four Studio series Deluxes, but no leaders, & the other 2 Walmarts & Targets had NO new Transformers at all, & no voyagers anywhere yet. Cant wait to see voyagers come soon, & that deluxe Jazz, I wanna see what he looks like in person.

    Anybody seen these lately? In my area around Seattle, neither Target nor Walmart seem to stock Leader Class anymore... Did I miss these guys?

    Oh well, Hasbro Direct is always an option and if memory serves no sales tax...
