If I’m being honest, Target exclusives are actually decent. Sure, the distribution sucks for the first 2-3 weeks, but after that it’s amply available. That’s my opinion.
Target Exclusive Runabout? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! ;( I wanted him to be a general release so I could get him and Runamuck.
Sorry to hear it's so tight, I feel your pain. I was grateful I could switch from debit to credit and avoid such problems, one year the company that ran parking for SDCC pre-authed my debit card for a grand (they ran it a dozen times).
Complete bummer. But I'm glad I secured a good Jazz figure. I'm surprised Grimlock hasn't vanished yet...
Honestly of all the '86 Studio Series stuff, Kup is the only one I feel missed the mark. All the rest of them look great. Hooray for no shoehorned headmaster gimmicks! I still love RTS/ United Jazz, it's one of my favorite molds of all time, but anyone saying it's not hollow is absolutely delusional. This new one having a solid chest that actually tabs into place makes it just as great if not better IMO. And on a very subjective note, I've always preferred Jazz without door wings since it sets him apart from the Datsun triplets so I'm happy this new one has the doors stowed. An option to have the doors as wings or able to be hidden would have been preferable though so both camps could have their way. The yellow on Grimlock looks better than I thought it would. I think it ended up really nice, and better than the PoTP Voyager for sure. Hopefully the rest of the Dinobots (my fingers are STILL crossed for Snarl too!) end up looking as good. Man, these reveal days always kill my wallet. I think I preordered everything except the Micromasters and the Devastator pack.
Well that was a damn flurry of furious pre-ordering... I made one stupid error. Got Grimlock and Kup ordered from Target, then realized I had forgotten about Hot Rod. Cancelled the order... and of course Grimlock sold out. Ah well, was at least able to still get the Target discount on Kup and Hot Rod, and threw on Core Optimus to make it past the $50 mark. Then just went and ordered Grimlock off Amazon. I'm fine with that... it's a figure I'm willing to pay full price for. I think I got everything else... hopefully didn't miss anything. Sheesh.
Surprised by the lack of Bayverse stuff, I feel sad for the fans that have been wanting some more news.
It means TakTom's Armada Prime has a plan for release now, I think They used to be WFC figures but C19 shuffled their plans around so SS86 it is. I think that's what Pixelmaster said at least Feb 2021
Anyone else concerned Target will cancel their order simply because they took advantage of their figure promo?
I really want Dino too and TLK Barricade. Oh and a 100% partsforming Galvatron, but that’s only me. Lol.
