    Final update on the SS Overload: Target cancelled it citing "unforseen circumstances..."

    Screenshot_20201125-063721_Outlook.jpg

    Tracking to the app, it looks like they removed the listing for it entirely.

    So shout out to @einhazard way back when for the heads up about Walmart, because otherwise I'd never have finished Devy.

    Will be interesting to see if they come through on X-Spanse.

    They didn't ludicrously discount X-panse so that'll prolly be fine

    "Luckily" I ordered the full set SS Devastator from Pulse. I just ordered it as an "in case" kind of thing, planning to cancel it once I completed all the individual bots, but it unexpected shipped very quickly even before the individual bots came out. In hindsight, maybe that is a good (but expensive) thing, since the individual bots keep getting canceled from Target.

    Overload's all over the place now though, Definitely saw him at both WalMarts I went to yesterday.

    I found Overload in their store a while back and was able to buy it for another member.

    Turns out the reason he's $29.99 was because they had him as a Voyager. Same DPCI as Blitzwing/Skipjack/etc.

    So odds are pretty good that botched their ability to properly track stock...so our orders were never fulfilled online. Not as big a problem in stores since he came with Scavenger when they ordered more Leaders.

    (Also worth noting: Others today are having the same thing happen to Skipjack, Blitzwing, and the Judge. So it's definitely not exclusive to Overload.)

    Happy Thanksgeezees all.

    Got notice from UPS that my Runabout is on the way from Target, arriving Monday, 12/7.

    Thrust is still in queue, but Target came through on part of it (apparently).

    Hope y'all are having a fun Thanksgiving, in whatever form that takes this year.

    Once we're on the other side of this situation we *really* need to figure out a get together.

    Ugh...ate too much as per usual for the holiday, but I guess that's part of the point of it.

    Should have asked this earlier but does anyone know if the local shops are doing Small Business Saturday deals?

    I'm hoping to make time to swing by the usual haunts.

    Eagan Walmart had the W2 Netflix Deluxes. Saw at least two of each except for Elita, who I took home.

    Also saw a SS Scavenger on the top shelf and a SS Jetfire among the Megatrons.

    Also at least one ER Prime and a number of Dealers.

    I mean, how does a store get that much stock? If nobody bought the first 10 why'd they order another dozen cases?

    Well, I've got the Siege Original Flavor, G2 action hero flavor, Netflix flavor, and cel-shaded flavor so.... no. Only other version of that mold I want is G2 Terrible Camo flavor. TBH, I wouldn't be surprised if that's what was going through a lot of people's heads - there's been almost as much overuse of the Megatron mold as there was of the seekers, and a lot less reason to get multiples.

    So stopped at Bloomington target last night saw the oversurplus of WFC voyagers, but ZERO deluxes did they forget to order deluxes and mistakenly order an over abundance of voyagers or are they hording the deluxes in the back?
