    Walmart is getting entire cases. Ran across a box of them at a COMo Walmart (though someone had already opened it and snagged hobgoblin and Ben) but it had one of the whole wave.

    Since we are talking ML, Arnold Walmart had Symbiote, shocker and hammerhead last night. Symbiote went home with me. They also had reissue Tigatron and Core Ravage. Fenton Walmart had squat nothing.

    Got lucky yesterday at the Florissant Walmart. Picked up one of the Ravages already reported on and they had a Hobgoblin so good stuff there.


    Woo, got charged as well! Glad this is going through and not having an issue like some had with the Amazon earthrise exclusives.

    Yes there is a warehouse over there so I assume that is why. Not sure if a store is around there or not.

    Columbia Target has Coronation Starscreams on a back endcap. The Broadway Wal-mart also got a few Kingdom Tigatron and Rhinox back in stock.

    Well shoot. That there'd probably been me that said as much (on one of the threads). I got a walgreens box the other day that I haven't opened so I'm hoping it's all good but now you got me worried.

    More on this story during our late night news report. Back to you, Carl.

    I received both of the Red Alerts i ordered from Walgreens. It sounds like your issue was just an unfortunate mistake by the order filler. Sorry to hear that.

    Had to make an emergency run to Zumbehl walmart last night, took the opportunity to snag a Tigatron and Scorpy reissue. More than I'd like to pay but that's my 1995 memory talking. Two pegs worth of Snowkitties and and a healthy conglomeration of Needletails for anyone that's looking.

    North Belt Walmart in St. Joseph has the Scorponok reissue. Too pricey for me right now, and that's really my 2022 self talking.

    They also have a Kingdom Tigatron and Rhinox, plus the core class Studio Series guys.

    So this is what happens when two childhood memories get drunk together and have a love child? Huh. As far as crossovers go that's not as bad as that time He-Man got a birthday present from Skeletor and it was this ornate golden puzzle box...

    What will they think of next? Animals that turn into robots? Pshhh...

    Cool find, Nasmax! I remember as a kid I always wanted the ones that turned into little turtles, or the one that turned into the turtlemobile. Sweet!

    Wow could have gone my whole life without seeing that Pinhead....damn that's disturbing. On a lighter note my favorite turtles from my. Childhood was the ones who's shells opened up and you could store their extra weapons in there. First real experience in weapon storage on figures.

    My only real complaint on that pinhead figure is that it's just a recycled generic male body type-1, the same one used for all the other "homages" that Savage World uses. If you've ever seen the iconic 80's media that they portray, their figures have no semblance to be the characters beyond the splash of paint. They remind me of old-school Heman, tho. And I guess early TMNT. Damn, TFs really spoiled us on individualized body physiques, huh?

    Totally, integrated weapon/accessory storage or GTFO, lol.

    Back on-topic, got notice from Amazon that Terrorsaur shipped, but delivery was delayed until next week on account of that light dusting we got.

    That sucks. They managed to get mine to me today, on time with their original estimate. It's about what I expected. The ball socket feet were a bit loose, but nothing some floor polish didn't fix.

    So where exactly does it seem to have issues? Just the ankles? Are the wings likely to snap?
