    I got away with a mostly-pristine copy. The aberration on her forehead isn’t actually there (photo weirdness), but the one on her cheek is. In-hand though, it reads more as a reflection. Hood decals are spot-on and her leg fenders are even pretty tight. None of the joints are as floppy as some of Tracks’ were (though those were easily sorted out with floor wax). All in all, counting myself lucky.

    I'm surprised my gnaw wasn't canceled today, just delayed.... Either way, got my just-in-case order at TCP for when they DO cancel gnaw. (Seriously, why do they have such a hard time with filling orders?)

    Remember.
    Gnaw is making his way to stores.
    Both Walmart & Target have gotten him in.
    Unlike tigatron, Gnaw is in-country.
    In-store should be getting better.
    He's just poofing faster right now because of all the troop building.

    True story bro. I found him at Walmart, case fresh. They had 2x Gnaw, 2x Jazz, and 2x Cybertronian Bumblebee. Only picked up 1 Gnaw and a replacement Jazz as the 1st one has a cracked windshield.

    Then I canceled my pre-orders for Gnaw at Target, Amazon, and gamestop. ffs.

    In-store and online stores are two different stories and considering how wreckgar has been found countless times before mine was canceled might hopes of them honoring my preorder is zilch but not quite none. Appreciate the optimism tho

    Irrelevant. Preorders should be fulfilled regardless of whether an item shows up in store or not. The delays have pushed mine back well over a month at this point

    It’s $3 cheaper if I wait for Target.

    In all likelihood, it's $23 cheaper, but you don't get the figure.

    I started checking Walmarts after ppl here saying they found him there. I finally found one in store for $19.98. I must have got there when they just restocked because it was a full case. But it's YMMV and since others buy multiples for army building, I think he'll be rare down the road.

    My delay approval dance has begun on my Slag pre-order. I'll be keeping the pre-order even if my price-matched to $40 GameStop pre-order ships given the potential issues with the knees.

    I'd advise most people to use that on in stock items. Majority usually gets their preorders canceled who use this. Some do actually get lucky and get filled, but it's just not worth it anymore.

    You need to factor in the shipping from Target though. I have Amazon Prime, so for me it's actually cheaper overall.

    It’s free with Red Card as well. So it really is $3 cheaper though as others have said, only if it ships.
