    Almost... FP still has a wrist/fist and foot designed to attach to the copter & tank. Simply not using the wrist/fist and using the whatever regular 'hand' parts are with the arm-bot would be fine, but subbing in some other leg would likely mean 1 shorter leg and 1 slightly longer leg.

    Well that clearly has nothing to do with distribution. If your store shelfwarmed on Superions, then your store didn't order Bruts as they had the same DCPI.

    I bought mine last year when my nearest Target received them before it hit the shelves.

    i ordered my BM online from Target at retail, seemingly at the last moment before they disappeared.
    i may not get these add ons for BM, but i am still glad i got my BM when i did.

    my problem isn't 3rd party products causing prices to jump. what makes me dig painfully deep in pocket for something is just waiting too damn long to get something.
    i had 4 shots at Energon Omega Supreme while he shelfwarmed here. now, I hate to think about the dime i gotta drop for one.

    I wish I knew what dollar store chain will wind up with all the unsold Bruticus/Superion stock. Maybe Big Lots?

    Target exclusives don't usually end up at the clearance stores since Target's willing to do the deep discounts of 75% off. Targets in Houston cleared most of their stock at half-off $15, very few made it to the $7, $5 range. Not sure how Zellers handles it's overstock in Canada though.
