    Which would be sad considering how good he is.

    An abundance of Grimlocks would be news around these parts. Haven't seen a Leader Class SS since a few Targets found old Scavengers sitting around.

    Maybe something finally knocked loose whatever was clogging distribution. Grimlock was a solid case so 7 is only 4 boxes compared to if it were Slug/Grindor.

    NOTE: GameStop has Slug in stock right now.

    Pretty much every target I go to has an abundance of Grimlock (eden prairie, east St. Paul just two name two).

    Apple Valley Target off Pilot had nothing interesting, save for a single figure from the new Afterlife Plasma Series. So if you're looking to expand your collection of Finn Wolfhard wearing Ghostbusters uniforms they've got a variant for you.

    Nothing new at Edina Target except some punk kid trying to crack open Marvel Legends figs to steal the parts. Hope Target boots him out.

    Should have pulled out your phone pretending it was a radio and said some nonsense about "suspect" and describe him. Maybe that would fool um' kids are pretty stupid

    Naw, he saw me notice what he was doing and pretended to leave the figure on the shelf behind him. I walked up and took it back to its spot and flagged an employee down do they could watch him. Stealing parts is such a bullshit move.

    That is one of the things that would make me fine with them removing the "Build-A-Figure" thing with Marvel Legends for good given they also eventually release the BAF figure again by itself with better paint jobs and more accessories anyway.
    Seriously, the number of times I've seen waves of Marvel Legends on shelves missing their BAF pieces...more so at Walmarts than Targets...

    Why doesn't he just buy and then return it with a spare twizzler in that spot or something like a reasonable asshole?

    Kids these days can't even be crooks without being lazy.

    Last call for Nemesis Primal and Worlds Collide Bee before I put them up on ebay.

    Right? I missed half the stream because I was busy racing to Pulse to give them my money. I still genuinely cannot believe it comes with Leo *and* is under $200. There's literally nothing more I need from it. Like I don't care if it hits stretch goals because I got everything I want if this is successful.

    I want to be excited for Star Saber, but like the Masterpiece toy, I have no attachment to the character as I have never watched any of the Japanese exclusive Transformer cartoons, and probably never will.

    Now if it was a redo of Generations Metroplex as aside from Scorponok, he is the only Titan class figure I'm missing.

    Same thoughts, looks real cool minus all the holo spaces (maybe they will update that and it's why no color shots exist yet?) I know nothing of the character(s) but the design is pretty cool

    Yeah I love Star Saber and I've never seen the show because I just like cool robots.

    Speaking of cool robots, Rodimus is awwwwesoooooome. I thought for some reason the car would just be a Hot Rod retool but he's super complex and a ton of fun. The trailer is neat and not really anything too amazing, but it's a great accessory and necessary for the character.

    Got a message from Pulse yesterday… Grimlock/Mirage is shipping soon. Also, Wreck-gar came form BBTS and holy heck he’s great!

    Retains his basic original transformation and is a high watermark for screen accuracy.

    “Satisfaction… guaranteed!”

    So...yeah..here it is almost 8pm and no sign of the Rodimus Prime I ordered from Amazon that is supposed to be here today by 8pm.

    I seem to recall this issue before with Amazon...

    Checking my tracking... According to USPS tracking, it started in Texas back on the 23rd and then no more updates, now Amazon shows a "shipping delay" as it went to New Jersey and is now in Illinois.

    WTF!?

    Did you get an actual shipping notice with tracking from Amazon?
