    It seems like the same person, since the way they ripped open the package is the same.

    You also found it right after that person left just like I did. Ripped open the same way.
    Usually they posts pics of figs they actually buy except the ones they “grab”.


    Yeah i know who it is lol
    I talked to some St Matts best buy employees who said they only had 1 ER Prime in that day it was stolen.(pg530)
    The other leader was Astrotrain.

    Was never pics of his purchases either.

    I have no sympathy or tolerance for thieves. Should report them to mods and have them banned from the boards.

    Admittedly, the best one has is coincidence to base their claim on.

    Thievery in this regard isn't something I tolerate either but there's not much you can do about it but try and set the better example. Things work out as they will.

    I admit that I did return the Prime I purchased from Best Buy, but he had everything in the box when I took him back.

    The theft must have happened sometime thereafter.

    Adults who open toys in the store are the scum of the earth. Adults who then STEAL the toys are even worse.

    Seriously. If you're that hard-up poor, you shouldn't be collecting - or at the very least, limit your collecting. That Prime I returned could have then gone to someone who was still hunting for one - instead of some butthole who decided they should have it for free, consequences be damned.

    Not to derail the riveting discussion about the ethics of shoplifting toys, but in attempt to get back on track, anyone heard anything about the Netflix figures? Only ones I can find on Walmart.com are Ultra Magnus (who isn't shipping until the end of May) and Megatron (who's currently out of stock). Hotlink and the Deluxes are nowhere to be seen. Also, if anyone runs across SS Scrapper and Sentinel Prime on an essentials run in Lexington (preferably at a Walmart; I still commute up there for work, I'm essential), I'd appreciate a heads up.

    I'm assuming you're referring to the Studio Series figures. The answer to that question is: not yet. They're scheduled to ship from Pulse on May 1st, but I expect them to show up somewhere at retail a bit early.

    Meijer seems to be having a buy one, get one 50% off on most of their toys. TF included.

    Sounds fantastic, except the Springhurst Meijer seems steadfastly opposed to ever restocking their Transformers again. There have been tumbleweeds in that section since February.

    Sounds like one of the Meijer stores up here...they are usually months behind everyone else. I rarely bother checking them anymore.

    Yeah, the Hamburg store didn't exactly have the newest inventory. And even Jetfire wasn't that much of a draw after finding him at WalMart severely discontinued.

    To be fair though, I have only seen Earth Rise at one WalMart I have stopped at recently. They also had a Prime and... Astrotrain, I think.

    Both seemed tiny for the price.

    Is... there something you wanna say, sir?

    Honestly? My interest in the franchise as a whole has been dying as of late. I had been hoping that getting my hands on something I'd really put in the work to find would sort of reignite that excitement, y'know?

    It didnt. And there was more important stuff that money could have gone to.

    Dan got in the Earth-rise micro masters again, the hot rod guys with the military boys that aren’t combiners. I’m gonna pop by the zone Sat & get some.
    Target in Clarksville had SS Soundwaves on the peg so I picked one up. Also Kroger in Jeff had Earthrise wave 1 deluxes on the pegs for 24.99 ea last week. I forgot to post.

    I’m surprised they let the zone stay open.. I mean I’ve never seen more than 5 people in that store at one time anyways, so I’d guess it’d be ok, but def not considered an essential business.. but i guess since it’s self owned he can do and work as he chooses..? Which micro masters aren’t combiners, I thought they all combined into weapons? Unless u meant soundbarrier and smashdown?

    Checked the Springhurst Meijer on the last day of their BOGO sale, predictably there was almost nothing of note. One SS Shockwave and a new Cyberverse Starscream I haven't noticed before. But not really anything to make the deal worthwhile.

    Thinking about making the trip over to the Hurstbourne Meijer later today.


    EDIT: Big mistake, that was. They had SS Scavenger, who I do want, but... again, nothing else worth spending $50+ on to get Scavenger for $25.

    Nah he meant Bombshock and Growl. Power Punch and Direct Hit are the Micromaster Combiners he was referencing
