    My preorder on Rodimus shipped earlier this week from Target. Should have it on Saturday.

    yeah when I saw it I knew I couldn’t pass it up. I’m not even planning on keeping it in robot mode, just display it as the ark. On top of it coming with a Teletran 1, couple golden disks, and the little probe. I slapped a tf source preorder as soon as possible. I’d definitely prefer to pick it up in person though.

    awesome!!! That’s another one on my must have list

    Just to inform you all that Waterford Target is wiped out. It’s basically a few Core classes and Cyberverse stuff.

    Grabbed an origins bee from Southington. There’s one left but the box is completely fucked. So there’s that. The MPM 12 tag has him listed as $124.99, so we finally have a price for him!

    There are two origin Bumblebees at West Hartford Target. Nothing else of note

    Is it a new thing for the figures to not have plastic windows? Also did the cardboard feel thinner to you?

    It’s a new thing for this guy I think. I hope they don’t continue it though in the next trilogy. And yeah the cardboard is super thin.

    I’m not a fan, especially with the recent string of people stealing the LeBron heads from the space jam toys. Honesty if they want to move away from plastic I’d rather just have solid boxes.

    box aside this is a perfect figure.

    Ollie's in Waterbury had three SS Scavengers for $25. Nothing new in Target, but I don't know if I got there too early. Walmart is a wasteland.

    Southington Target still has the Origin BB from the above picture.

    Nothing new in Meriden Target.

    Torrington Target has 1 Kingdom Magnus. They’ve also got a tag on an end cap for T-Wrecks, and the computer says he’s in stock there, so he’ll probably show up soon.

    She finally dumped that other bot?

    that’s the one on the endcap or did they put it back? It’s unfortunate because Hawley lane use to be my gold mine. I’d find stuff there other stores haven’t even stocked yet and now it’s a wasteland.

    Target in Orange only has a few Arcees and core class Bees and its been this barren for about a month. The Walmart in West Haven is no better as it has a few wave 3 Netflix dudes and probably a few wave 1 kingdom figs... hopefully they restock my area soon.

    New Britain Target has a bunch of new tags for the various Buzzworthy stuff. Like the Worlds Collide pack and the deluxe 2 packs.

    Went a to cookout in Milford yesterday and thought I'd make a few stops. Target at the Trumbull mall was somehow sadder than the Stamford Target which I thought would never be possible. The Target at the Milford Post Mall had several of the Super7 ReAction CyberChrome Optimus Primes which kept the place from being as sad as the Trumbull Mall Target.
