With all this talk of Legends scale... anybody interested in my extra set of Pocket Toys seekers? Basically the same as the DX9 War In Pocket with a couple adjustments. (Intakes on Cracker and Skywarp are gray for some reason.) Not as nice as the Newage stuff, but compatible size-wise. $35 for the set.
Sightings... Only new stuff today at target was some SS voyagers.. Scrapper,and Sentinel Prime.. Both really good looking! Only bought Scrapper.. priorities... didn't check out wal-mart... Last SS wave was Off Road BBee. other stuff is gone or older.
Rand to Richfield Target for groceries. They had no scrappers left, but still had 2 SS sentinel primes.(1 now, after I grabbed him). I like him a lot actually. His transformation is really simple after you've done it, but has some cool engineering to keep him from feeling like a shellformer and is the rare TF that actually covers up a fair amount of the BOTTOM of vehicle mode. The way his waist locks in kinda puts him in a mode gundam-y 'S' pose, and I dunno about anyone elses, but mine doesn't lock in super tight. Or I'm doing something wrong. I like him. He's a good upgrade to the character. Same Target also had some s5 botbot 5 packs.
In the south Metro, I feel like Shakopee is pretty good, but when they get stuff it seems to get hit fast. Hidden is a total crapshoot. Only place i ever saw TF5 Nitro Zeus and Scorn. Most of the time it's pretty bare, and I've had employees tell me they "almost always get stuff late." On the other hand, said employees are usually pretty helpful and don't mind checking the back for you. EP is... super weird. Sometimes they have nothing, sometimes they have TF5 Cogman when no one else does. Bloomington has come through for me once or twice, but the fact that there's always police parked outside of it tends to keep me from spending a lot of time there. AV.... I dunno. I never go to AV. T-Hybrid might know that one better. In other news, dunno if anyone cares about Kenner Alien Vs Predator stuff, but Richfield yesterday had the 'throwback' figures NECA just did: Alien & Predator Classics Wave 1 Set of 2 Figures (I woulda grabbed 'em but I already have them coming from BBTS)
Eagan Walmart is more likely to get new stuff compared to AV. But I haven't been to either since the shelter in place...
Cool, thanks for the tips, folks. Full disclosure, I’m hoping to find the Star Wars retro wave, so if anybody sees them, I’d appreciate a heads up. OR if someone wanted to pick up a Boba Fett for me, that would not be the WORST thing.
Everyone wants me; I'm delightful. But no, in that case, it just seems like it's not worth getting shot to find new robots. Also the last time I was there you could basically SEE coronavirus on everything. Totally forgot about Eagan WalMart. That one is solid. I'll keep an eye out, though hopefully I can stay inside until next weekend.
I want to wear a mask and gloves at that Walmart even when there isn't a pandemic going around. That store reeks of panic and dirty socks. You know your Walmart is rough when the local police department has a permanent desk set up at the entrance.
Yeah, I'll pass on Brooklyn Center WalMart. It's super weird- the WalMart in Mankato is pretty nice compared to all the WalMarts up here. Spy patrol tapes (or whatever the one with Doubledealer tapes is called) and Tentakill should be here from Pulse today! Overbite FINALLY shipped. At least I'll have all the seacon limbs! Looks like Overbite is finally shipping too.
Sounds like it's being haunted by the Ghosts of Midway Walmart Past...after that shit-hole closed, I guess they had to go somewhere.
In Eagan it's that "Subway smell" that always bugs me. I like Subway but that smell greeting me at all hours when I walk in is...eck.
Man, I'm the opposite. I love the smell of Subway, but I always wonder why their food doesn't taste as good as the fresh bread smell. XD :EDIT: I was wrong - tapes today instead of Tentakill. ;_; But hey, at least I have the first part of Doubledealer? XD
Anyone else completing their Piranacons today? I think he's fantastic, but I hope someone releases things to kinda lock his hips and elbows so he's not constantly being squashed by the weight of his own weapons. Other than that, just a fantastic set all around!
Looks like mine is scheduled for tomorrow. Although FedEx says it’s four blocks away. I DID manage to complete my Turbomaster Flash today! Anybody have luck with getting minor scratches out of clear plastic?
