    I thought the whole pin variant was a hoax from what I saw elsewhere. I currently have one Starscream where the chest plate keeps falling off of its bracket on its right side. How are people getting around this? Do they indeed just dig a pin into to secure it?

    West Hollywood Target has 2 Soundwaves, 2 Starscreams (no pin), 2 SS RotF Starscreams, 1 Scrapmetal, and a scattering of older stuff.

    No, there's a lot of parts that need to be altered in order to add a pin

    Actually just found the Peaugh video on it on youtube. It does not look that hard.

    Walmart in Santa Maria had 2 of the Shatters & Scrapmetals today (so one set came home with me). I'm still trying to find the Target Exclusive SS-31 Megatron, so if someone finds it, please let me know.

    I'm not saying it's difficult. Just that you can't simply stick a pin through and call it a day. Parts have to be altered.

    Just in case you guys don't read the site news, I found Bot Bots series 2 five packs at Tustin Target late last night. I took the 7 packs they had to try and sort out later, so none left there but happy hunting!

    Has anyone seen Shockwave in the SF Bay Area recently? I'm still looking for him. I'd prefer to go closer to San Francisco or the San Leandro/Hayward area,and maybe Fremont if need be. (San Jose is too far for me.) I'd also prefer to go to Target,if possible.

    One siege starscream at Otay ranch Walmart, and a whole bunch of aimless and pteraxadon at Eastlake target as of 5:00 this afternoon. Has anyone in SD seen a Scrapmetal lately? I’ve been keeping my eyes out but so far all I’ve come across is the occasional shatter

    Saw all the deluxe figures from wave 2. No soundwave or screams, this was in the Palmdale target.

    I added a paperclip to mine. I might end up using a nail if it doesn't hold but so far so good. I used a pin vise to make the holes in the grey part

    I will be in the Silicon Valley again Monday and Tuesday. Has anybody spotted Magnus or Jetfire around here recently?

    On my way back to Walnut Creek last Friday I stopped at Dublin and San Ramon Target and they didn't have them.

    Covered about 6/7 Targets between SJ and Fremont last Thursday and Friday.

    EDIT: all leaders in stock on Amazon again for ~$50. Ordered Jetfire and Magnus.
