I think I saw him at Wallgreens off 169 and Pioneer Trail earlier this week. Might have been Topspin.

Update: Checked this morning on my way out. It's Topspin.

 

Haha, Tpain can attest to the fact that I saw that and said "We need to tell Andy."

That was part of the whole missing Windblade wave. It shows up from time to time, but with distro being weird as hell, it's hard to say if we'll see it, especially since it looks like Target completely blew off the last few waves of TR and TLK and jumped to PotP.

Also, I may or may not have destroyed an expensive couch at my work holiday party tonight... TFW2005 forums is now my personal confessional.  

 

Fairmont Wal Mart has a Christmas toy bin containing wave 1 POTP legends (all 4) at the front of the store and 2 Slugslingers in the transformers area of the toy section.

 

I've immediately rewritten head-cannon so Nautilator is now Johnny.

"O hai Snaptrap we should form Piranacon, huh."

 

Still no Cogman anywhere, tho. ><

 

Stopped by the North Blaine Aldi (who knew there were two?) and grabbed the lone remaining Ramhorn. I don't have Shuffler so this is my first exposure to the mold and it is pretty nifty. Ramhorn's robot face is great!

 

Richfield Aldi had 2 Ramhorns left when I was there last night for anybody still interested. These Lost, I mean Last wave items are going to be next to impossible to find, aren't they?

I don't know who I should blame more Hasbro or the retailers at this point. Don't recall this being a problem back in the 80's. Think I may be done with TF's after PotPs is over.

 

It's both. Stores are doing a poor job balancing what they order, and Hasbro isn't doing their job when it comes to balancing cases.

Though I'll argue we as fans are partially to blame. Slugslinger's wave could easily have been him, Pax, Arcee, Nautica, etc instead of s bunch of repacks.

Then even if it didn't get to stores, it'd at least be easier for e-tailers to break up the cases to sell instead of charging $25-30 for a single figure.

 

If anyone is interested, I've got an SNES Classic unopened for $90. Grabbed one thinking I may be interested, but as I assessed my game collection I realized I had most of them either on the actual SNES, GBA, or DS. I'd rather someone who hasn't played these games or can't easily to have access to one.

You guys get first dibs, otherwise I'll probably just take it back to Eagan before the receipt expires.

 

As of this morning: Hutchinson Wal Mart had TLK deluxe Crosshairs, Swoop, Drift, and new-mold Bumblebee.
Still no Cogman to be found though...

 

I found a single Ramhorn at the Waite Park/St Cloud Aldi. And only $4!

 

Found a windcharger on the regular pegs at bloomington target, no other potp in sight. They also had new movie legends I've never seen before, like megatron. Sweet little figure.

 

I feel like this has been a problem as long as there have been waves. While my official collection started around Transmetal, I wasn't really part of the community until around 2007-ish, so I didn't even know about the concept of waves until then, and ever since I feel like there's always been lost waves and that sort of thing. Considering I was 6 when the 80's ended, can't say how it was back then, but there have been shelfwarmers for as long as I CAN remember.

PM'd for family, but where I already have one if someone else is interested, we good. To those interested: Do yourself a favor and get a long HDMI cable and WiiU pro controller w/this. Makes it a lot more enjoyable since the included cables are SUPER SHORT.

Dang, hopefully we see the new Bee out here again. There was one sighting at Hidden Walmart, but it was gone before I got there.

The $4 price is the icing on the cake. XD It makes up for the $30 or whatever I dropped on Slugslinger. >>

 

I saw a video on youtube where you can plug in the wireless adapter thingies to the console and have them stored inside. Looked kinda neat and less wires works for me. Not really a fan of standing in front of my tv to play this thing. I was also able to mod mine (mind you I'm an oaf when it comes to crap like this) Pretty neat having tons of games on there.

 

Ha, I should try to get a little more handy with mine like that. I just have it sitting on my coffee table and the longer cords make it work just fine. The only reason I don't mod the software is because where it's still pretty hard to find, I don't wanna risk breaking it.

Also, the $20 case they sell for it at Target is pretty nice.

 

DT Target had a fresh case of Legends on a endcap on the back end of the toy section on deluxe pegs. I grabbed one of the Slashs.

 

Eagan Walmart has a bin by the toy aisle with a bunch of Hasbro stuff. One of them is a basket of PotP Legends figures.

I saw one Slash drowning in a pool of the other three.

 

Dude if I could do it anyone can. I was worried about messing it up too but was very easy. Still have a ton of room on there too as apparently there were a lot of stupid games on the SNES I did not want. I still haven't even started playing much of it though. Stupid me bought an Xbox One S on BF....first time owning a Microsoft console.

 

I almost feel like it's not worth owning an xbone anymore since all the exclusives are on PC as well. My PS4 gets way more mileage at this point. (Not starting a console war or anything).

Also, honestly the only games I'd really want on the SNES classic are Chrono Trigger and maybe Demon's Crest.

 

I actually asked for a PS4 this year for Christmas for literally 1 game - Godzilla. Really wish Xbox one had it. PS4 exclusive only though. I still play my old Godzilla game on the 360. Have no desire to play any PS4 game besides that one. Maybe I'd check out that Horizon game but that's probably it.
