    Does anyone know when/if EB Games in Canada will be taking preorders for this? Gamestop is selling it in the U.S. so I'm assuming EB Games will be selling it as well like Ectotron.

    Sooooo glad my wife has a Red Card. Ordered from Target. Gigawatt can hang out with Ectotron and fight time travelling ghosts...

    Okay, so first print of this. I tried scaling them according to that Twitter picture with the lego mini figures. Honestly, the lego mini figures work, they’re just super short, so I made these a tad larger. I think they still may be too small... I think we have to go bigger. They definitely don’t scale with Ectotron that’s for sure lol

    Does this mean Target might also selling Gigawatt in person? Because you said “basic retail.”

    Never underestimate the power of being a whole dollar cheaper (if they have it in stock and it's not swapped and it's not trashed and...).

    I think they will fit Generations scale alright.

    They don’t fit Ectotron because he is in scale with Masterpiece line. Which is why they used MP10 mold for Ghostbuster Optimus Prime.

    You're correct. They would probably fit in with generations. Honestly, with the upscaling I want to do with them to hopefully fit better with Gigawatt, they may end up scaling with Ectotron. I always forget how tall and just how big the Ecto1 is.

    Maybe make them just a tiny bit bigger since real Delorean car roof is around a standing person’s abdomen.

    Ordinarily I'd agree, but considering the licensing involved and how much I love Back to the Future...

    Yup, I'm making them about 20% larger. Which should match up with Giggawatt. Again, they also may match up with Ectotron as well. I know the scaling won't be perfect obviously, but trying to scale these guys properly is making me thing Ectotron and Giggawatt may be in scale with each other.

    $18.50 from Target. Had $20 in Microsoft Rewards stashed. I knew they would be worth something. This is amazing. 2 of my favorite, most influential franchises in one!

    How have they been a debacle? You can STILL order the seeker set.

    What is the difference between the limited version and the regular one?

    Their G.I. Joe exclusives are the main ones that have been a nightmare

    If I'm not mistaken, the limited version doesn't have Mr. Fusion at the back and is limited to 1985 pieces.
