    Lest you feel you missed that deal... He's now showing at that price on HTS.com proper. I wonder if the 20% off coupon stacks with that?

    Edit: Spoke too soon - sold out! Looks like it wouldn't have stacked anyways!

    I have rad fake windows because they came with the house and I like them. The wife despises them, but the TF room is up to me, so I'm keeping them.
    And yeah, house is better than toys if not only because it gives you more space to put more toys.

    Bloomington Target has Alpha Trion and Astrotrain, assorted other wave 2 stuff.

    Couldn't have timed things any better, but yesterday at Hot Comics and Collectibles, they were doing a Cyber Monday sale on everything in their stores, so I added to my G1 collection with Inferno and Hoist.

    And now I've got Masterpiece Inferno and BadCube's not-Masterpiece Trailbreaker coming in the mail.

    So MP inferno will be right alongside G1 Inferno...which...wow. Those arms do not hide very well in vehicle mode. LOL

    Wave 3:
    Leader: Sixshot
    Voyager: OP and Megs
    Deluxe: Doublecross (Twinfire), Getaway, Trigger Happy, Hot Rod
    Legends: Gnaw, Bee, Kickback
    TM: Not-Swoop, Fangry, Overkill, Battle Beasts Reference Guy (edit: sawback. I'm just really pumped they're nodding to Battle Beasts)

    I was surprised to see Trigger Happy isn't another retool of the Scourge template or Blurr template. Looks like Hot Rod is mostly a Chromedome retool.

    As an aside... that MMC Rodimus.... mmmmmm yeah, dat's some nice vehicle mode.

    EDIT: One other thing: Preorders for my second novel are up! Already have a good amount, but if you guys like robots and books (I'm guessing you like at least one of those), feel free to give it a look: https://www.amazon.com/Will-Faithful-MAGi-Book-ebook/dp/B01N0F9DJ4

    Link to the first book, too: https://www.amazon.com/Will-Machines-MAGi-Book-ebook/dp/B00OC73GXU

    Found three g2 Superion sets at Eagan Marshalls and bought one of them. TR Hot Rod is at BBTS now so I'd love to know when he's in actual stores here. Also: any Astrotrains at Marshalls/TJ Maxx. Thanks.

    Triggerhappy is great. Probably one of the best TR deluxes. I also wouldn't characterized Hot Rod as a Chromedome retool. They share some commonalities in design, but the mold appear to be completely different.

    I just ordered the wave 3 deluxe figures as an early birthday present...
    If anyone here is interested in the Hot Rod or Breakaway, shoot me a PM.

    Looks like Wave 3 Legends are about to come in stock today at BBTS, so I imagine the other sites will be getting all the different parts of Wave 3 in the next week or so. I hope. Chosen Prime always seems to lag behind for stuff I order. XD

    I'm 90% sure if someone bopped over to BV Target there'd be Wave 3 TMs waiting for them.

    I'm tending to a newborn, but if someone else who needs them scopes it out and there's spares I could use a Ptero and Sawback.

    Boy that's tempting. If only that weren't like an hour out of my way...

    No wave 3 at Bville Target. Sorry guys!

    But hey, there are a ton of PMOPs and Blasters at Bville TRU, as well as.... uh... a Victorion. (Seriously)

    Still have that spare Walgreens Brainstorm available if anyone is interested. Picked it up on their Black Friday weekend sale so I think I said $12.

    Let me know as otherwise I'll probably take it back sometime next week.

    If no one else wants it, I'll take it...but I definitely don't need it as I'm content with the Voyager so I'll let anyone that has a burning desire for it call dibs.

    I'll take that Brainstorm if you still have it and kibble passes on it. What area of MN are you in? I tried to figure out how to send you a PM but that's not as easy as just clicking on your name/icon...

    Thanks for the opportunity and the help on TFW's not so user friendly messaging system that makes no sense to me. :confused:

    The St. Cloud TJ Maxx has a G2 Superion, but the box had been opened on one side, so check it out before you buy.

    Got a little lucky on eBay. Landed the first Botcon exclusives of my collection. *At cost*.

    Nothing at the Eagan Target this evening.

    Nice! Not a fan of that Ravage head, but as long as you're happy with it that's all that matters.
