    Spotted, no. But I have an extra because I forgot I ordered from BBTS and bought one when I saw it at Target. If you want it, let me know.

    Before anyone else points it out, I figured out how to cancel extra orders after the Megatron delivered.

    I'm looking to sell my Unique Toys Warlord (Third Party Predaking) locally. Asking $280.00.

    I can do a meet-up If you live reasonably close. Anyone interested? It's a neat set that scales well with the Combiner Wars sets. PM me for pucs or details. Thanks!

    Silvas Walmart has 1 Tracks and 1 Scorponok. Also a retro BW Megatron and retro BW Primal.

    Moline Walmart had 1 Wreck Gar, but nothing else of note. Unless you're collecting the RED stuff.

    The transformation is basically identical. Kingdom has extra articulation such as ankle tilt and waist swivel. The joints are tighter in Kingdom due to no longer having any ball joints. The bee legs and antennas are thicker, so they feel less fragile. The Kingdom one is smaller, but the paint details are nicer, especially the robot head. The wings no longer feature a flapping gimmick, so they are freely poseable. Kingdom also features a 3mm port for flight stands. Light piping is preserved, but the clear plastic is now clear blueish-purple. The weapon on T30 looks much more like a weapon. Kingdom is a much deeper green which I kinda like better over T30’s leaf and lime green

    I saw some Shadow Panthers and Tracks at Broadway Target yesterday but Waspinator had already long flown the coop.

    Does anyone regularly check the Gundam stuff at Target? Would be very interested to know if anyone saw or is hunting for the new Gundam Breaker Battlogue kits that have been hitting.

    Tinley park had a few.

    if I didn't have such a back log for model kits I might've been tempted.
