    That's awesome news! I try to avoid target pre-orders to avoid the crushing disappointment of cancelation, but the in store availability has dried up on exclusives in KCMO city limits. I really wish target would limit customer purchases on exclusives as it only takes one bad apple to create artifical scarcity in the area. I know they get their money either way, but I can walk to the Wardparkway target and still often shop elsewhere for anything I need because I've become so frustrated with the lack of availability on figures.

    I was holding hope that we would get both....cause Hasbro does that sh$t. But at the rate the line has been revealed....I wonder if we havent seen 90% of it already.

    I'm sick of seeing last year's "refreshed in new packaging". But Im also the guy that is hoping TR Misfire gets a refresh in that Walmart headmaster line.

    Because they plan the case assortments months or years in advance, and he’s a popular character, and he’s in the cartoon, and if toy lines don’t continue to have primary characters on the shelves, they fail. Ask Mattel.

    but would it have killed them to paint him teal and purple and call her "Slipstream"? I mean she's an up and coming character.

    As an additional figure, possibly. As a replacement for Starscream, especially being a female figure, that won't work for kids. They want the core characters.

    I have a feeling this is another situation like the clone 2-pack, so Target will set an end cap with a spot on it but no product to put in that spot yet.

    I wouldn't worry, though, even if delayed there hasn't been a hard to find Transformers exclusive at Target this year yet, and I doubt Thrust is going to be the first.

    Walmart by me hasn't seemed to stock much either.
    In other news.
    Video review is up with lots of comparisons.
    I dig him.

    Hey personal opinion: My PC just died (like dead, dead) and it looks like I need a motherboard and/or PSU. I just got the 2 amazon 2 packs (Medics and Ironhide/ porwl), so I'm sadly going to have to sell them for new parts. Would I be a bastard or a bastard if I ask for more then retail? Or would it be justified?

    If you're taking a little bit for yourself I think it's fine. It's these fools charging over 100 bucks plus S/H that ruin things. As long as you aren't like the mega douche asking for 399.99 on ebay right now, you're good. Plus, wait too long and the FOMO may wear off and leave you with a figure that's worth less than MSRP. I waited out MP-41 for a dog's age, and finally got my authentic copy in the mail today for less than MSRP. I'd sell now and just make sure that it isn't such a gogue everyone just walks away from the listing and you're left selling it at a loss.

    yeah, not as much as I wanted but enough (along with some other savings) to get new parts. Sadly it means I'm going to have to pass on Cyberpunk 2077 for a bit and my plans to upgrade my rig to play that masterpiece in the making.
