Tonkastator ... feh.

The Street Fighter TF reissues are curious and interesting aside from my disdain for any Headmastering on anything that doesn't need to be a Headmaster. The Arcee is kinda fun, in part because the T30 mold has thicc thighs that sorta match Chun-Li's character design. If I actually run into them at a Target, I'll have to see how I feel at that time. I'm not keen on preorders, as $75 bucks for two repainted deluxes (or over 100 for two voyagers) is just stupidly exorbitant.

 

Ah, cool! Looks like I won't have to worry about tracking down the Matrix Sword or a third-party copy of it via eBay!

(I mean, I think someone at TFW nudged me to where a third-party company made a copy of the Matrix Sword, but who knows how long ago that was...)

 

Put in a pre-order for Tonkanator, but it immediately got canceled.
Tried again, but same deal.

Is this how Target deals with sold out preorders now? Haven't ordered anything from them in years

 

That sounds not great. Did you contact Target about this? Maybe it’s a glitch.

In any case, I think Pulse should also be selling Tonkanator in limited quantities, so if Target doesn’t help, you got other methods.

 

The only time I had Target cancel something immediately like that was when I bypassed the max quantity limit.

 

I think Pulse actually sold out on Friday.

 

Looks like it was a security problem, I had just applied for a new RedCard since my old one got canceled after not being used enough. Put in another order paid with PayPal, and that one hasn't been canceled (yet). Will contact them later and see if I can change payment to my new RedCard after the actual card arrives at my US address.

 

Cant wait to get tonkanator when he goes on sale.

 

You can say "to me" all you want, I feel confident in asserting this one. Without the Confederate Flag, the car isn't the car that people are looking for enough for Hasbro to even bother with the crossover, and they will never put the Confederate flag on one of their toys.

While these are certainly more possible, I don't think enough people care about those cars. This conversation really is a non-starter. It's just never going to happen.

That said, there's little more I can say on the matter, so I'll bow out now. If someone else wants to have the last word, have at it.

 

So far neither Hasbro Pulse nor Target have released or pre-ordered these figures.  

 

Looks like the clearance prices in my Target. Those dusty Eternals figures everybody else is getting for $7? "Clearanced" for just $18.99 here.

Anyway...color me positively flabbergasted that blue Bluestreak not only lasted this long but went on sale to boot. Blue Bluestreak was a legendary grail for as long as I've been a collector. Makes me seriously wonder if reissue Dinobots would sell or sit. But, then, the Binaltech and Masterpiece versions were both slow sellers too...

 

I see the Hasbro Pulse is sold out in the USA (UK still has preorder) for Tonkanator...what's the story, is this going to get a general release?

 

Target exclusive.

 

Yesterday, saw Sliverstreak on clearance for the same prices you show here ($19.54 down from $22.99). The store ALSO put a "clearance 30%" tag on it, so I checked with the scanner, which confirmed the $19.54 price (which, in case it's not already obvious, is about 15% off, NOT 30%).

 

Not sure how I feel about the Street Fighter collab. I mean it's great that they got reissure, I dunno I would every buy them.

I mean I grew up playing SF2 Turbo and loved it now eventhought I suck badly back then so I am familar with the franchise (well I don't know all of the characters), just that I'm sure I would buy them in Transformers form.

It's the used of the fleshy pink on the arms like Ryu and Ken that are putting me off. If I were to buy them (I wouldn't say no if they were like £10), I would keep them in their vehicle forms!

The Tonka version of the Constructicon make more sense to me and in a way, appeal to me! I mean I know their green colours is iconic but when have you ever seen the constuctions vehicles in bright green? Yellow is more realistic to me since here in the UK, that is like their usual colours well depending on the company!

 

Had the same issue twice, they even put holds on my card each time. Auto cancelled and holds already dropped off, I'll wait and get him in store

 

FYI tomorrow's reveals are supposedly TMNT x Stranger Things but I have no context beyond that.

I'm hoping for an Eddie and Mikey two pack. Or Eddie loaded out like Casey Jones.

 

It's literally just the Mirage Turtle figures packed in with (what I think are) two older Hopper and Eleven figures. There's a few accessories but wow. Not sure how Hasbro pulled off the Morphed Turtles because other than that the TMNT collabs have been pretty boring.

 

Quick question, will Toy Terrorsaur and Toy Dinobot be available in stores, or online only??

 

Stores. Just like all the other Buzzworthy stuff.
