Well I’m giving up trying to find stuff locally. For some reason it’s been ridiculously busy out. Every day, at all times. It’s bizarre. Keizer target was holding people at the door today because they were at capacity so I didn’t even bother going in. That, and stock is usually so scarce I come home empty handed 95% of the time. So have at it Salem. I’m sure the shelves will be over flowing any day now lol.

 

Beaverton target only thing worthwhile mentioning is core op and the 2 Pack bb/Sam pack. Tansbourne target nothing.

 

I accidentally ordered Gigawatt from 2 places at different times...I now have a spare. If you need a Gigawatt, LMK.

 

Sherwood Target has some Ectotrons.

 

Cool, but not $60 cool.... Not sure why there is such a price increase from the original Ectotron, especially considering the original had much better packaging (IMO)

 

Extra ghost, slightly more paint apps, comic book, greed, Target Tax.

 

If anyone lucked across GI Joes today (word is a restock happened) please hit me up. Need a Viper and Firefly

 

Beaverton target two deluxe paleotrex and two tf ghostbusters cross overs.
Tansbourne just the core kingdom.

 

Two Ectotrons at Washington Square Target (for $60 each!) as of Tues., 3pm.

 

Nothing flickered up today on Popfindr or Targets own website.

Some stores around here restocked Viper yesterday, but they only got in 1 Viper per store.

 

I didn't even hear about the restock. I can't believe how they screwed up this wave even worse than the last batch of exclusives. It's like they learned nothing from the Cobra Trooper / Baroness debacle...

 

I keep hoping it’s like Thrust and TC / SW and in a week or two these will be everywhere but it’s not going to happen.

 

Here is a strange sighting for you all. Clackamas Promenade GameStop has a bundle of Kamen Rider Zi-O’s Ziku Driver. I’ve had this belt for a while now but seeing one for sale in a general retail setting is absolutely mind blowing. Bluefin is making magic happen for Toku fans.

 

Thats gotta be tge absolute strangest sighting ive seen. Ive already got the belt and the geiz watch but out of curiosity how much was it retailing for?

 

Kingdom is finally arriving around Eugene!!! Managed to snag all of the first wave goons from deluxe to leader aside Warpath and Paleotrex from the W11th Target and Green Acres Walmart.

This line is incredible, but let me hit y'all with some of my preliminary thoughts about each figure I was able to get.

-Cheetor is great, fun and simple, but his plastic IS as brittle on some of the tabs as you may have heard, fortunately they dont seem to affect much in the areas that are likely to break (cheetah neck, robot arms)

-Blackarachnia is the most underwhelming of the bunch, but she does her job fitting in with the cast -- not a fan of her head articulation

-Cyclonus is some designer's magnum opus, it is one of the best generations figures I think we will ever receive. The perfect package.

-Optimus Primal is kind of awkward in ape mode, but is truly satisfying in robot mode. Feels good to stand next to megs.

-Megatron is an absolute chonker. Biggest leader we've gotten in years, great paint and sculpt work, and so satisfying to handle.

Happy Hunting guys, this year is really starting off with a massive bang!

 

$130

 

No new sighting but word from HISStank.com suggests that stock for Firefly and Vipers is being blocked from showing up on Brickseek and Popfindr. So if anyone is still in the game for those, good luck and good hunting. I'll still keep an eye out.

 

That explains a lot.

 

I guess that will keep people from saying 'it says you have x in the back!' or lining up before opening on days the stock ticks up on popfindr.
.....On the other hand, now more people will be coming in general asking them, because '0' might not mean 0. In fact, folks may line up before opening EVERY day now since there's no telling when they're coming in...

 

if anyone sees a Vintage Collection Mandalorian & Child at Walmart, would you please grab me 1 or 2 if you spot it. Id greatly appreciate it!
