    Having that massive consignment landing the same week as their Bargain Siege restocks won't have been any help either!

    Exactly the same thing happened to mine when I picked it out of a box the other day. All of the finer pieces of plastic have basically disintegrated.

    Saying that though, I did buy it broken/fractured already but it seems to have exploded since then.

    My phone camera is making this look better than it actually is, I think.

    It's those annoying black bits on the hood... I think I might have a spare, unopened Exhaust to sell once he's no longer prevalent lol

    So, according to a guy who supposedly works at Target, Earthrise wave 4 has been cancelled and split up into exclusives because CVD-19 delayed waves 2 and 3 but they still want Kingdom to begin early next year. I have high hopes on the availability of these as these would probably have already been produced in the same numbers as retail products. Supposedly Runabout and possibly Thrust are Target.

    If that's true they couldn't piss people off quicker. Certainly I've never seen as packed a recent release schedule. The stores will have to discount them like mad eventually, and unless it's sorted beforehand, might not even touch later releases as a result.

    If it's true we'll hopefully just get them as ordinary releases here. I'm thinking our discount stores will be flooded with them eventually if it happens in America.

    Once again buddy I might be interested in that extra copy of Exhaust, need more mercenaries because there aren’t as many as I thought there was going to be based on how much Warden was talking about the new faction.

    Hmm, Hasbro gaming Exclusives as a way to wrap up Earthrise in a POTP-ish way due to Pandemic Delays sounds pretty damned feasible, and as a Wave 4 Deluxe it seems very possible he might be Repacked for Wave 1 of Kingdom, yeah?

    They are shutting the physical shop tomorrow according to the website so more than likely tomorrow will be shipping day.

    Sounds very plausible and makes sense for the netflix new tools specially soundwave, my thought is wave 4 deluxes was meant to be bee and elita who were shifted to netflix and bluestreak and ratchet who may be another 2 pack.

    Runabout listed on target as e41!!!

    I think that's most likely due to them attending their Annual Hasbro UK meeting, where they're hoping to find out Whatta gwan ahn re:the new exclusives including the Quint Pit set.

    If @Q Prime's source is on the money hopefully that means there'll be plenty of stock to find it's own UK Fan Channels (barring the Amazon sets). FINGS CROSSED!

    As long as i get my thrust, I'm ok with it.

    Still needed a gigantian planet key to finish off my omega lock. Forgot about it until someone posted a bunch of keys at 2.50. Ask for total with shipping, goes up to 10.50 because he's in italy. Quick look on ebay finds a universe heavy load with key for 11.99 shipped. Hmmmm, i wonder which one i purchased. Quick run with a silver paint and the molotow and jobs a good un.

    In Demand Toys posted on FB that they plan to import some of the Amazon exclusive 2-packs to resell in the UK, but they're less certain of the Quint 5-pack possibilities.
