    I guess we will be on the hunt again for a PoTP Starscream with the revised back post. I never opened mine so a simple swap from the old to new will still be possible.

    I need to check on mine as well. Although mine holds together fairly well.

    How accurate is brickseek? I did a quick check this morning, and it said a toy was sold out at one of the local targets -- I went to said target and found a Rodius. Does brickseek account for returns? That's the only conclusion I could arrive at based on the fact that one was actually at the store while being sold out on their site.

    Anyway, outside of that one rodimus, the stores have been pretty dry. I did manage to snag a future robocop -- great figure.

    Can you link to what you're referring to? I'm just curious even though I have no plans to pick up SS.

    Make sure you have the stress marks first. The original isn't bad in all cases. Mine is perfectly fine.

    I have found brickseek to be very reliable. It has more to do with what inventory system a particular store is using. Some report in real time, some every hour, some every 6 hours, and some update at 12:01am. Brickseek is most accurate in the early morning hours particularly before they open for the day. Returns are in the same boat; it comes down to how often the inventory updates.

    I think so, but I'm a fan of the character. It's a bit goofy, though.

    Had anyone else had this problem with MPM4 Prime? A crack formed on the passenger side window from moving it around to access the matrix chamber. It looked like there was one forming on the same place on the opposite side as well but as of yet I can't tell.

    Mine did that right out of package - I returned it. I bought a second one that had an equally annoying QC issue. After that I washed my hands of that figure.

    Yorktown Walmart has PotP Leader Optimus, Voyager Starscream and Grimlock, and pretty much all the Deluxes and Legends. Snagged the Rodimus for myself.

    Edinburgh Target had exactly one POTP Optimus that I saw being carried out by a guy. Other than that, nothing new.

    Found a PotP Rodimus at Winchester Target South. Someone else beat me to the Optimus. (Probably stocked yesterday)
