Got notice that my MPM-12 Optimus Prime that I ordered this morning was just shipped, should be here Wednesday!

 

Currently in line to pick up a Bee wish me luck.

 

Don't know what made me check this thread today but i'm glad I did. Mpm 12 and SS Thrust are mine!

 

Missed them, but at least there are listings now, so thank you for posting them! I'll keep an eye on them. I just wish they'd give me the option for getting an in-stock alert.

 

Pennsylvania Transformers Sightings
MPM 12 is in US stores

 

Is grindor available at target.com yet

I could say the same about Target. In fact, they just owned up to a technical issue on their end that cancelled my Galvatron order.

Well, I have the RC credit card coming (have the debit, but it's pointless when I have decent credit already) so if the Ark pops up after I get it, I'll grab him, but he'll go back if he ships as-is.

 

Not Transformers related but I had the McFarlane Armored Darkseid figure pre-order and Target just ups and cancel my order because my payment method wouldn't work. Like wtf? They usually send you a email before hand to ask you to change your payment method but this time they didn't do that. Makes me so mad cause now I lost my chance at getting him now. Stupid Target.

 

Happened to me as well. No issues, then a cancellation regardless. At least they acknowledged that it was technical issue; not that it changed a thing, of course.

 

The mpm12 I ordered last morning shipped

 

Mine, too, says it'll be here Thursday.

 

That's an unfortunate choice for packaging. Especially during the time of COVID.

 

Wait, is the figure being exposed like that the default packaging lol

 

Can we avoid these type of topics. Never ends well. So better to leave this out when it comes to us collecting toys.

 

Yes no plastic. I’m not a fan. It makes easy to scratch even damaging the figures should it get piled up on the toy shelves. My Nearest Target looks like a tornado went through the Toy section.

 

I like to make my own battle damage.
Kids remember every scratch or break. When and where it happened.
I was at my grandmothers house for Christmas when ultra Magnus punched shockwave off the front porch. 20’years later I would look at shockwave and his cracked chest… it took me back… I remembered the entire vacation like it was yesterday.

 

I'm on the fence with this one.
I can see Hasbro's perspective on this.
Cutting down on the clear plastic.
The box and the twine ties will breakdown in the dumps.
But this does take it a little too far.
You don't want lots of other people handling the toy your buying.
At the same time we don't want to go to completely closed boxes.
We like seeing the fig, especially the head, before we buy.
There needs to be compromise.
Kingdom did that.
Simple window.
Add the twine ties instead of plastic and they'd be set.
This origin bb box just doesn't work.
I'm surprised I haven't seen reports of missing heads yet.

 

Getting back on topic:
Waiting on Target to get my 'ship-to-store' rodimus in.
And get this reset finish so those skid in back can be unpacked.
