    They've been surprisingly decent online considering their physical stores are as bare as Walmart. I'd like to see them fix the website so I can connect with a desktop computer again. It's been three weeks and the mobile site is a real struggle with how badly it lags.

    I HATE their website...needs fixing. I do like GameStop and I hope they can pull through somehow. I would love to be able to go back to preordering all of my NECA TMNT stuff through them instead of the Target shitshow...

    If you can't get it to stick on the back of his gun (like a lot of people) you can try sticking it into the top.

    So I just tried putting the Mr. Fusion into the forearm port to act as a watch. Was this feature intentional or just a happy accident? I like having it in there as a watch compared to leaving it on the gun

    I believe it's intentional. Someone uncovered it weeks back and it seems like it's definitely molded in.

    Edit: Sold now

    I have an MISB copy available for sale. I wasn't planning on getting it but I found it in person the last one in stock on a walmart shelf. It doesn't belong in my collection really and would be better enjoyed by someone who actually was looking for it.

    Man, my 2 copies ordered back in sept/oct from target still keep getting pushed back.

    I think this may be my only option soon.

    Pulse has a pre-order that ends tonight for it. It won't ship till August but it is an option.

    Transformers Generations Collaborative: Back to the Future Mash-Up, Gi – Hasbro Pulse

    BBTS has a pre-order for September.

    Transformers x Back to the Future Collaborative Generations Gigawatt

    Edit: I would not trust Target with a pre-order unless it was their exclusive. Always have a backup.

    I still absolutely love Gigawatt. Easily one of my favorite Transformers of all time.

    But, I have two copies of this mold and the rear passenger side tire on both of them pop off when going into and out of flight mode. Quite annoying and frustrating.

    I saw one in a local used toy store for 59.99 USD. If I had the cash I would have nabbed him.

    Side note. Would it be interesting to further the line? Like Doc Brown's truck, a Prowlesque Future Cop Car (call it Speedtrap or something), the future Taxi (call it Cheqers or something cute basses off Checkers). I dunno. Random thoughts. I'd love to see more off the Ghostbusters (besides Prime) as well. Any of you guys have similar thoughts?

    If I want to see anything more in terms of BTTF crossover stuff and accessories it's ER Astrotrain as the train from the third movie and scaled Marty and Doc figures.
    If we could get those, that would be heavy.

    BBTS still has it for preorder, but it won’t be releasing until August. Which for BBTS probably means October or November...

    Sorry that happened to you. Target really screws collectors over sometimes

    Just got mine today from Takara Tomy Mall and I need to get it replaced. The tampo on the flux capacitor chest didn't show the full dates.

    Not a great start. If TT refuses to replace it, I'll just get a full refund and look for a version from America instead.

    You got a used one... many transformations make the numbers rub off - or 1 helluva first-time run-through.

    Not me, at least when it comes to preordering Ultimate X-Spanse from X-Men.

    Yeah, the head rubs against the last line of dates, causing the numbers to rub off. It really seems like the paint they used on the numbers isn't as good/strong as the paint on other figures, and the clearance for the head and rotating panel is non-existent. There were many reports (here and elsewhere) of people having the date rub off and returning it / exchanging it. I'd bet some of them even got rubbed off in the factory, so it may not have been an exchange/return.
    I ended up using some extra clear label remnants from a Reprolabels set to cover the dates on mine, so if anything rubs, it rubs the label and not the paint.

    I just modified my figure so the panel can rotate both ways, that way it can clear the head so nothing rubs.
