    The reminds me of a Seinfeld episode. I can picture Pooptimus Prime in the medic bay with Ratchet saying "It was a million to one shot, Doc. Million to one!"

    Man... I'm legit scared of missing out on Elita-1 (and Soundwave) because my wal-mart is both prohibitively miles away and terrible at stocking, but at the same time I can't justify paying the higher prices I see her go for online.

    I honestly can't get her into vehicle mode, lol. I hope that 3P group doing a replacement backpack for Arcee does one for her, too.

    Anyone else remember 2006, when Classics started? We got some, IMHO, cool toys then, but I really thought that'd be it. Just the new molds, the Energon combiner repaints. some leftover Minicons, and Botcon boxed sets I'd never see. But now... all four Micromaster bases. Incredible, isn't it?

    (Get on that 3rd party I'll pay top dollar if it scales with ER prime too)

    I honestly don't want to see it get an homage line, because I'm not sure they could make better toys.

    Anyways ordered a couple of Doublcrossers off Amazon. You know if the rampmasters end up cheap at a discount store next year, they'll be ones I'd stock up on.

    Neither were expected until tomorrow, but Tigertrack from BBTS and Runabout from Target were delivered by the same driver this morning, and so that was a super way to start the day.

    I like Tigertrack a lot. The fact he comes with a rifle and both shoulder accessories is fulfilling. The tfwiki pages for Spin-Out and Sideswipe tell an interesting tale, that originally in G1 the car we know as Sideswipe was supposed to be yellow and named Sunstreaker, and the Sunstreaker car was supposed to be in red and named Spinout, but somehow things were mixed up, Spinout was changed to Sideswipe, colors were flipped and we got the opposite. Or something like that. Having Tigertrack makes me a little less patient in my wait for the Spin-Out and Cordon two-pack. I plan on switching Cordon over to a Decepticon because for a long time I thought he was. I don't know why. I'm just going to make it so with a strategically placed decal.

    I am also hoping for a black Selects Earthrise Ironhide.

    I'm a bit salty that I missed Trailbreaker on any BF Aliexpress sale. Local PL shops won't get any stock from Hasbro until 2021 :p

    Added a bit of paint here and there. Flat gray paint markers have been sold out for months so Ironhide has a dazzling underwear look. 20201129_175226.jpg

    Yep, seems like everyone did. I assume it's just that the distribution warehouses have not received their stock yet.

    Yep, I noticed the same thing which just reinforces the theory IMO.

    Just thought I'd bring a heads up. Things are going to be crazy and Christmas crowds to add to it.
