I should add, while I was digging through pallets one of then was a xase of Botbots 5-packs. In hindsight, I should have had him open that to see if it was the new color changing gimmick.
Sorry T- hybrid.. got the name wrong... Meant Scrapmetal. Sorry. Willmar, Target.. 2 hrs West of you..
No need to apologize. I knew who you meant and should have worded it better the first time. Sorry about that. (I'm real bad at A. remembering where everyone is from and B. knowing where that is in Minny.)
Scrapmetal Wave spotted at AV Target off Pilot. Unfortunately someone has already been here as there was only one each of the new figures and they came with me. But good to know it's not just Walmart.
Grabbed Chromia, Prowl, and Sixgun from Woodbury. Only one Chromia left after. No ironhide. Cottage Grove has 2x chromia, Prowl, Sixgun, no ironhide either. Nothing at IGH or AV Wal-Mart's. So if anyone sees Ironhide and can grab me one, Id appreciate it. Although I'm guessing everyone wants him.
Ol' Clamps is a pretty chunky Deluxe. Here he is next to SS-32. His legs are chicken-walker so he could theoretically stand a bit taller if he wanted.
Also, for scale. (Hasbro is making a mistake not packing parts for a non-Transforming Mudflap as a BAF with the Constructicons.)
Btw, for you Star Wars guys, there were 2x Vintage Collection Mimban Stormtroopers left at Cottage Grove WM as of about 1pm.
Couple friends bought those up just a FYI. We must of been there 15min after you. I didn't get any as I have them ordered online already.
A couple things, I'm curious if anyone here knows how to deal with a figure whose screw-hole's been stripped. My 2010 Lugnut has a screw that's been stripped out of his leg. I'm hoping just putting some strong super glue in the hole will do the job Found nothing of interest at the York Ave Target in Bloomington, though the only ones I'm looking for are Ironhide and Sixgun, I've got the rest preordered And I've decided to let go of most of my movieverse figures if anyone was interested in them (HA Bumblebee, AoE Deluxe Strafe, AoE Voyager Hound, DotM Voyager Shockwave, RotF Deluxe Swerve, HftD Deluxe Terradive, HftD Leader Starscream, DotM Leader Ironhide, DotM Deluxe Cyberfire Bumblebee, and RotF Deluxe Brawn)
Wouldn't that wreck the joint? Is there a way to fix rhe screw hole...is it "rethread" when you put new thread in? *3* Prowls? Wow, did they get two cases?
You could glue a small piece of plastic rod into the stripped out hole...after the glue dries, drill a tiny pilot hole that's a smaller diameter than the screw, and then re-screw the parts together.
As near as I can tell, the screw and the area it goes into don't have any bits meant to move, so the nearby joint shouldn't be affected if I don't screw it up. As for rethreading, I can't tell if that's an option, I'll see if I can get a closer image of its inside That's a good idea, but I don't have any drills or plastic rods to do it with
Any small scrap piece of rigid plastic would work...a bit of extra model sprue, or even a piece off an old star wars weapon...something like that. You could even mix superglue with baking soda...that's an old modelers trick for filling gaps and seams. You wouldn't necessarily need a drill either...just a needle, or thumbtack to start a hole. You could heat the tip up if necessary...just give that screw something to grab.
Now model sprue is something I get in on a regular basis. I love me some model kits. Really? superglue and baking soda? I'll have to look into that. So even something like an awl could be used to make a hole, and the important bit is getting enough of one started that the screw can dig in and carve the rest of the way in itself?
