Smart for Fanstoys to offer the head first as it will likely be the cheapest part by far. If they offered a part of the body first for 6 or 7 hundred, I know I'd think twice about what I was getting into. I'm guessing a completed Fort Max will be damn near 2 grand. Still, it's a once in a lifetime thing for those with the cash and space to display him.
Troy Kroger: there were 2 Core Soundwaves! One left with me. Figures I just gave up and bought him at Toy Dept Tuesday... lol
Meijer in Fairfield and West Chester HAD the newest SS deluxes... But all the Gnaw were gone when I got there... Sadly. No kingdom stuff to speak of. Middletown and Loveland Meijer had nothing.
I'm not sure what's going on with Meijer. I haven't seen a new TF at the Grove City Meijer since the first SS86 wave. Never saw a single Kingdom wave and they still have the same Earthrise micromasters that have been sitting there all year.
There’s two Meijers in NKY with very different stock options. I found an SS78 at one along with some relatively newer stuff. The other has had 4 Doubledealers and 3 86 Grimlocks for months with no signs of any restock
Colerain Meijer hasn't gotten restocked with anything either, meanwhile every surrounding Meijer has either gotten ss78 (Harrison avenue), Gnaw (west Chester and Fairfield) or Waspinator (Hamilton)
Man, I'm glad all you guys are out there hitting the pavement. There was a time today when I felt like going out and hunting, but screw that. I did pick up a Jolt at the West Chester Meijer though last night, that was pretty legit. Wasn't even there to look for TF's.
I checked Harrison Ave and Colerain Meijers and both had nothing. Harrison had Wave 1 Kingdom deluxes
With the way distribution has been I order almost everything from Amazon. Don’t hunt much anymore except for most recently the worlds collide set. Curious how often are you guys in store hunting?
Personally, I rarely go store hunting anymore as i'm usually working 50-60 hours a week and with how distribution has been, I simply don't feel like wasting the gas anymore unless I can call a store like Target and they have what i'm looking for
Yeah, that’s my Meijer too. It’s possibly more depressing than GC Walmart. But some Meijer stores are getting something, if you’re willing to do some hunting. Was up near Sawmill Rd a couple days ago and found the new SS78 Sideswipe. It was the only one sitting on the shelf next to a couple Kup and Blurr figs. Definitely had to snatch that up. Missed out on movie Sideswipe upon his first release, and this new one looked even better. Rarely do I find anything brand new like that so early.
I almost always forget about meijer except they came in clutch one time with Siege Jetfire. He was sold out online and they still had one on the shelves
I usually won’t go unless I can confirm a figure is there. The only reason I’ve been hunting a lot more recently is the fact of Waspinator being in stores and having no preorder options as well as attempting to find the SS78 Sideswipe that I did end up finding
I go to stores a lot less than I used to. These days, it’s probably two stores per week…sometimes zero. If I REALLY want something, I just preorder it. I spent a ton of time hunting stuff last year (that couldn’t easily be ordered online) and pretty well burnt myself out on it!
Gotcha yeah for that waspinator wave I’d just say patience is key because it will eventually be officially revealed for online preorders
Been poking around the boards and sounds like Waspy/Shadow Panther are hitting Targets now too. Hopefully we will start seeing restocks around the board in Cincy. Seen mostly bare shelves for weeks
