    Sorry, not a TF sighting. Can someone help me identify this bird seen in Cary? We need 6 species of ducks for my kid's "Duck Badge", but I can't figure out what this thing is. Hoping it's a duck, because every duck we find is a mallard.

    Doesn’t really look like a duck perse but maybe some other kind of water bird. Maybe this website will help:
    Identify a bird seen in North Carolina by color
    also, went on a hunt for the space shuttle dudes, no luck at kannapolis or university, but university did have a cyberverse Arcee

    Looks like some kind of sandpiper.

    Just a heads up, looks like Amazon will be delivering the Dirge/Ramjet sets tomorrow, so if you pre-ordered, check your porch tomorrow.

    Oh, and if anyone has seen Snapdragon in S. Charlotte, please let me know!

    Mine are set for tomorrow. Hope it comes in a shipping box. I don't really care about the packaging really but want it protected and undamaged, which Amazon (US) cares less and less about as time goes on it seems.

    Mine comes today too. If they put a sticker on the box directly I'm likely to have a meltdown. o_O

    Here are packaging photos, as well as jet modes and the map piece. It’s a solid box, with no window or flap. 6A18E371-2810-4B7C-AFB5-15E4822E677A.jpeg 50CE5C5E-BE5B-4E7A-B035-900A2AEB913E.jpeg AEC5CE74-68DC-4BF0-B9BE-507E308DB54C.jpeg

    Went on a toy hunt for Transformers and Masters of the Universe Origins figures. Found two Transformers: Earthrise Snapdragons at Walmart on 15 501 in Chapel Hill. They were on clearance for $15 for some reason. Bought one and left one. No MOTU though...

    I just got the delivery notification and it indeed is just a sticker on the box. Hope the figures are in good shape when I get home at least.

    I would like to encourage the occasional posts like this, btw. :)  I love animals.

    I snagged the Decepticon Clones 2-pack at Target in Greensboro (on New Garden). There was only one there, but they might restock. Still searching for the Seeker 2-pack, Scorpinok, and Sky Lynx.

    It came. It has stickers. I complained and got nothing except offering me a return. No replacement. Amazon's customer service has gone down horrifically thes past few years. There was a time they would make this right. If not a replacement then a discount at the least. Shame on them. Lesson learned, gift box option next time.

    Ya, on the upside the figures are ok (outside a couple spots on the feet, careful there is paint everywhere on these guys). Box has some dings but I'm not terribly concerned with it other than the principal of the thing.

    My Coneheads arrived today - looks like I got lucky, as they were shipped in the Hasbro shipping overwrap box and don't seem to have any issues.

    I don't keep boxes, so if anyone in the Raleigh area wants the box (since it doesn't have any shipping labels on it), you're welcome to it - just let me know.
