    I'm not in SD but from what I can tell these have dried up at retail unless he is in a revision case down the line. I only saw them once or twice when they were first released and not since and had been watching Brickseek for Walmart and Target stock but no dice. I ended up just ordering from Amazon on Tuesday and he will be arriving to me tomorrow. They show he will be back in stock on 4/28 right now

    I actually think everything we've seen so far has been "early" release - from Target's website preorder (now sold out) it seemed to indicate a May 1 release. I have a feeling we'll see it more plentiful next month.

    On a related note - I have an extra one I picked up from Walmart for around $29 after tax. Was going to return it but if anyone here wants it, PM me - happy to ship it to you if you want to pay for that.

    Baldwin Park Walmart has the VINTAGE G1 Gears and Warpath figures just hanging on the pegs like nobody's business. Bumblebee is mixed in with them as well. Also, there's a whole lot of Optimus Prime on the shelf below.

    Congrats!

    Yeah after a few days off the forum I'm surprised how many pages in this thread I have to read to get caught up. None of my other frequent threads get posted as frequently =)

    For those interested, Hasbro’s Overwatch Ultimates 6” figures are starting to hit Targets around the Bay Area. Yesterday Richmond Target had two each of the single figures (grabbed one Sombra) and Pleasant Hill today had one each of everyone but Tracer.

    Went to Natomas Walmart at lunch and they had those Overwatch figures and also some of the Avengers Marvel Legends figures. Only thing noteworthy on the Transformers side were reissue Tailgate and Swerve

    I only have Tracer so far, I wanted Sombra too thats why I was really wanting that Target DPCI so bad!

    And all I can say is... I find Tracer enjoyable than most of my Marvel Legends figs but i notice the female figs still dont have double joint elbows. But Tracer very fun to pose.

    I’ve only seen singles and two-packs so far (no Reinhardt):

    Single: 087-16-3679
    2-Pack: 087-16-3491

    These do have pegholes in their feet.

    I’m pretty impressed by their quality so far. Articulation wise, most are at least on par with Marvel Legends, and I’d argue that most have better torso articulation (ab hinge AND ball-socket) than Legends. Sculpt and paint quality is pretty impressive for most of these, which could be a sign of Blizzard sharing 3D models and coloration schemes with them. After owning Figma Tracer, I may prefer the Hasbro version’s face likeness just due to the sharper, darker details. Pictures and videos online don’t do these things justice, honestly.

    I have been reading about scattered QC problems here and there. My Mercy was missing the flame effect for her staff and I read one person had a misassembled elbow on his Reinhardt. I also saw one Reyes with a terribly smeared goatee. Just make sure you look for all accessories and good paint apps and you should be good.
