    Dang it why do none of the gamestops around me have Transmutate?

    I mean, yeah, I have her on preorder for Pulse but I also have a 100 dollar gift card I'd love to burn to get her now (don't want to ship as last time I did that with Gamestop they took FOREVER to send out)

    For what it’s worth I just ordered Transmutate off GameStop’s website yesterday and the shipped it out today (which is record time for them).

    Last time I ordered it was for Shovel Knight. They shipped the day I was supposed to actually get it... then took a week to get there. Very much annoyed me. Plus with Pulse I'm getting free shipping so saving money. But if I could find Transmutate in story i'd be happy

    K...you should probably also check brickseek and popfndr (when it works) with the dpci number (087-16-3816); as of right now, it doesn't seem to be anywhere near Michigan...

    Haven't seen Origins yet. Although, the earlier BB and Daniel set is getting discounted. I saw one Target discount down to $10.49 and another down to $7.49.

    I broke down and bought one of the few Texas ones off ebay. Honestly after the nightmare that was Netflix Bee and this guy being highly sought after... along with the rumors that distribution for toys is going to be hell this year... I'd rather just get him now for a higher price than worry about trying to find him.

    Basically shipping containers and their companies have started to become scalpers. So it's affecting distribution of everything.

    Due to a lack of shippers (ships, trucks, so on), warehouse workers, and even factory workers stores are expecting it to be VERY hard to get in figures. Target already delayed their July reset to august and Walmart has been telling stores to take their toy dump bin shippers and begin moving them to aisles to fill pegs.

    So I'd rather spend an extra 25 bucks to secure origin bee than deal with the headache of hunting him down

    At least they have newer transformers than Star Wars Black series. They are like 5-6 waves behind. Haven’t seen a new one there in like 18 months.

    You do get that EVERY store (Target, Walmart, Meijer) is suffering from the shortages, right?

    My Rodimus shipped from Target too. Tracking hasn’t updated so I don’t know when it’ll be here. That’s ok because I’m out of town anyway.
