Walmart on North Belt in Saint Joseph got leader Scavenger and Shockwave in today. The Shockwave is still there, as are a few G1 Astrotrain.
True. No need to preorder whatsoever...so long as you don't mind missing the last wave or two. Such as... - Energon Galvatron, which I didn't see until it reached a local discount chain (that is no longer in business). - Universe 2008 Ratchet and Hot Shot, which I saw in a store only once. - Universe 2008 Bruticus (Cybertron Scourge redeco), which I never saw in a store and had to buy off of eBay. (I know it's an ugly riot of color. Don't judge me!) - The last wave of Beast Hunters Cyberverse Legion, Cyberverse Commander, and Ultimate classes, which didn't show up in the US at all. - Siege Ratbat/Rumble cosplaying as Frenzy. See any yet? No? Okay.... How about now? No? Okay.... How about—What? Oh. Sorry, I didn’t mean to—I understand. I’ll stop asking for now....
Anyone else getting this "street-date" BS of 6/1 for the cyberverse figures that have been on shelves for a month? The manager at brentwood target wouldn't sell me a couple of the figures even though they've been in circulation for weeks. WTF?
It was the BAF megs and OP, which have been out for a while already. I guess they are going to be repacked on the new assortment, but 3 months? Who's gonna want to sit on merch for 3 months? That's why they cancel orders, b/c by the time they're told to move it, it's already been warming the shelves everywhere else. Stoopeed. I'll try another target and see if they pull the same shinanegans.
Some guys I play TFEW with have found some Ratbats yesterday so looks like they have sent some more out so if your after them keep your eyes peeled. If I see any I'll grab em and mail em at cost plus postage.
That would be most appreciated. @NaSMaX, if Dexatronic finds two, do you want them shipped together and we can meet up? Two shipped together should be cheaper than two shipped separately.
I never did see Ratbat/Rumble in the stores, finally just ordered online. Glad they're releasing more.
I mean they don't look bad per sé, and I'm sure those of us who missed the first 20 iterations of these guys will welcome the addition, but I'm perfectly happy with my generations versions. Frankly I'm getting a bit of the ol' G1-fatigue. There have been some really interesting designs that have gone unexplored over the years that I'd like to see more of.
Agreed. I miss Wyatt's designs. I also really enjoyed the designs used for Car Robots/RID2001, that was some fine engineering in those days.
