Went to TRUs today, god damn they suck with their higher prices. Picked up a Wily-Kit, no Cheetara or Panthro. Also saw the Tower of Omens which looks kind of blah. Also saw the little kids version of the sword of Omens and claw shield...adorable.
They're probably out of stock on Lion-O (from Amazon directly) and an independent seller is charging that much.
I haven't opened them yet. True. I noticed on Gog Dog's photos that the Thundercat logo on his Lion-O is crooked. I got lucky...mine all seem to be on centered.
My 6" are waiting for me at work -- which I wasn't at today. My 8" Classics Tygra is a bit cross-eyed. Anyone else have that problem?
My 8" Classic Lion-O has a bobble-head. It's at the neck where it meets the torso and of course I see no way into the figure to fix it. Not to mention the sword was super-warped and is softer then the Downy bear.
Has anyone found anything at a Target? I did the Microsoft Tag thing (their version of QR codes) and the site it took me to listed Amazon, TRU, Kmart and Walmart in the stores section. Maybe Target passed on the line?
Hm you know I just noticed it when looking again at the pics, but man, Bandai sure used a lot of black pegs and joint connectors! The figures would look much much nicer if they blended in with the figures body parts.
so I got my second sdcc 8" metallic lion-o to replace the first one I got with the scratch in his chest. after switching one of the forearms as well (surprisingly easy to do!) I went to return the poorly painted one to a local tru. apparently since they don't carry it at the store, you can't return it there. I didn't feel like arguing with the customer service girl (because she was a hottie? perhaps!) but it clearly says that you can return things in the store on the packing slip. however it also says that if something's defective, you can call them and they'll send you a prepaid mailing label. worst case scenario, I think I could probably get most of my money back by selling it on ebay.
Bought the Thundertank before work today. Can't wait to get home and open it! I also saw Lizard Cannon with Lizard, but I'm not sure if I want to drop the $15 when I'm only interested in the figure and could care less about the cannon...
Picked up 4" Cheetara and Pantrho at Walmart last night. They had one Lizard Cannon. Though about getting it, but I passed. I hope they release just the figure sometime, and a Thundertank scale Lizard mech-thing. I would eat that shit up.
