    Sounds nice, I'll have to get him
    Do you own SS86 Kup? If you do could you perhaps put him on said bike and post a picture? If it's not too much

    Anyone interested in a new sealed studio cell pumpkin with larger wing upgrade?
    Asking $350
    I have the original and thought I’d buy the pumpkin for planet mode but have since changed my mind and realized I do t have the space for it.

    I don't see why that's impossible. Like Rodimus Pie said, they did it with the Netflix ones. I also like that Pulse has had stuff in addition to Amazon, but I watch stuff enough during the workday that it's not hard pivoting from one place to another. Usually. XD

    I got home from Wilmington, NC to find Grim/Mirage, Wreck-Gar, and Walmart Vintage BW Megs waiting for me. The biggest surprise of the trip though was finding MPM-12 at Target in Wilmington. He's solid! I will totally get an aftermarket kit to fix his weird cat ears on his cab, but other than that I really like him.

    his fingers are molded in the weirdest position though. Check it out:

    If anyone has the time and cash to grab one of these for me I can PayPal you. I’m up in Fergus Falls, not near a Target, for a couple of days.

    I MIGHT be able to get over there late this week. PM me your number (I think I might actually have it from a trade or two we've done in the past) and if I'm over there I'll hit you up.

    I will say, he's definitely more fun to transform back and forth than a lot of MP's. I feel like his upper arms are on backwards since the screw-holes face out in bot mode, it it's like that on every one I've seen in reviews so... guess it's a choice? XD

    Did anyone pre-order Wingfinger from Hasbro Pulse? Any communication on its arrival?

    Thanks! After ordering one for pickup at Woodbury, I actually found one at St Cloud Target on my way back home!

    Awesome bot, but…. woof. That truck is even more awful in person. The whole vehicle mode looks like an afterthought. Studio series is SO MUCH better executed. I know this has been stated elsewhere, but I had to have it in-hand to decide.

    I wish the Studio Series had a better head sculpt, then that would be the perfect version.

    Good News: AV Target off Pilot restocked their Kingdom Deluxes.

    Bad News: It's wave 1.

    It's 2020. We're never going to escape it. We just have to accept that we're perpetually stuck in last year.

    ...in other news: Grindor is available via HTS's eBay.

    Ugh...Kingdom Deluxe wave 3 has never reached store shelves (as far as my area goes anyway) and now there's images of wave 4...I'm having flashbacks to Titans Return where the last wave of figures (Misfire, Slugslinger, Twin Twist) never appeared anywhere around my area and had to get help from a fellow TFW person here to get them.

    Would love to see Scorponok, Wingfinger, and Rhinox on shelves, but looking like online only for them. Wonder how hard it will be to get Waspinator and Shadow Panther (though really only interested in Waspy)

    Also, Studio Series 86 figures...Wreck-Gar and Gnaw...are they available anywhere right now?

    I posted this in the Michigan thread, wow.

    Haven't been in here for awhile.........
    Anyways, not sighting related. Has anybody been to the AMC Rosedale theater in the past couple years? I know since covid hit not many people are going to the theater but I'm just curious what their place is like.

    I really wanted to see TFTM in the theater. It literally comes out on my birthday the 26th. We haven't been to another theater since Marcus Oakdale switched over to recliners. Last time I recall going to AMC it had the ol school seating setup, was terrible compared to our usually bougie place. I definitely would rather go to Marcus but idk if the movie will be playing there, doesn't show on their app or website but AMC Rosedale has it and you can buy tickets now. I checked their website and I didn't see anything stating that they had stadium seating or recliners. Any thoughts?

    WELCOME BACK! XD

    Pretty sure basically every theater has seats like that now, especially since COVID started. I'm thinking they do since if you look at a floorplan of the theaters, they have the seats in pairs which is usually how the recliners are.

    Either way, if you wanna see it, go see it. I've been doing theaters again recently and man, they're still pretty open. Chances of having to sit near other people is loooooooooooow.

    Can verify.

    There are so few movies hitting theaters that newer stuff is on multiple screens (I think Rosemont was doing Shang Chi every hour).

    And on top of that, people are pretty cool about not buying tickets together. I went to Chi opening weekend on a Saturday night (in what was apparently one of the best movie weekends of the pandemic) and the place was nearly empty.
