    I grabbed a $19 Siege Astrotrain from that Ross about 2 weeks ago.

    How much was the MPM Ironhide going for? Trying to decide if looking for another one cheap will be worth it.

    $25. Worth it for trade fodder down the line if nothing else.

    I sold all my movie figures years ago but got Starscream at half off, then that same day ordered Barricade on Amazon for $40ish, I only picked up Ironhide to have someone for those two to stand over. Now I'm sad I missed Prime, BB, and Jazz.

    If anyone around Norfolk / VA Beach finds MPM Ironhide, Springer, or Ultra Magnus at a Ross let me know which one. I checked out by the court house off dam neck and they didn't have shit.

    Traveling back to Roanoke today and hit 2 Ross stores:

    Christiansburg Ross - super organized toy section. Snagged the only leader Astrotrain, but lots of deluxes and voyagers. No MPM Ironhides.

    Roanoke Ross - toy section was a disaster, BUT snagged one of the only 2 MPM Ironhides. No Siege leaders, and some scattered deluxes and voyagers available.

    Skyline and Seven Corners Targets didn't have anything SUPER new, other than a few MPM Ratchets and like 4 Cyberverse Skullcrunchers at Seven Corners (1 of which I grabbed).

    My Netflix Nemesis Prime hasn't shipped from Walmart yet...

    Grabbed a Runabout (though I don't know if I will keep him) as well as a Scourge and Hot Rod. The others I'm holding off on until I either see in person or watch a good review video.

    Yeah, I just got runabout. I'd rather wait and see if I can ever snag the other coneheads before i bother with Thrust.

    Didn't pre-order any 86s, I already have a lot of Kingdom pre-ordered and I thought I should give it a break for now. Snagged the micromasters tho, love having more little guys.

    Yeah, I jumped on Thrust and Runabout. And the Micromasters, because... Micromasters.

    I'm trying not to preorder non-exclusive stuff anymore, though. I'm not actually super enthused about the SS 86 stuff, tbh. I mean, it's cool, but I probably will only get one or two of them at most. Probably Scourge and Cyclonus. Maybe Kup, just because his limbs can pop off, haha. I'm still more looking forward to Kingdom.

    BTW, if anyone preordered Nemesis Prime at Walmart, it's been delayed about a month. I guess I'm not totally surprised -_-

    Foolishly, I allowed work to take priority today, and now Thrust is sold out. Did anyone in the DMV order a spare?

    Yes and did you see that they said his limbs are 5mm ports? That means he can mix and match with the Weaponizers!

    Though I too am torn on him. I have the CHUG Sgt Kup, which apart from the arms I think is great, and I'm not sold on the SS86's head sculpt. It looks way to stretched out vertically. If it were more square I would like it better.

    Once proud toy-hunters, we are now barely surviving on the empty calories of discount Bayverse leftovers.

    It’s a sad state of affairs.
