    Picked up a breakdown and a scraphook at target huntersville leaving 1 hot shot. Nothing else new. The space on the shelf for deluxes is quite small, so it's possible there are more in the back - but I didn't ask.

    Also - if it matters, the deluxes rang up under the dpci, so I didn't have to get a cashier to input any numbers.

    Can anyone who goes to the Crossroads Target and seen Earthspark Twitch let me know? I've been going almost everyday and I see only BB hanging there. My kid wants the 2 new characters.

    Managed to score a set of Iron Factory Spirits of the D.E.C. combiner (Legends DJD - 5 figures) at Back in Time Collectibles in Gastonia.

    I honestly feel the set was quite a bit overpriced, but I still ended up trading pretty heavily in the store's favor due to the inability to find a Helex/Alkaid anywhere. The set was complete minus most of the instruction manuals and the alternate hand(s?) for Tarn/Dubhe. Great condition overall - seemed like one combiner arm was kinda droopy when posing, but it might have been something not secure enough, and at any rate - these guys were bought to display in their individual bot modes; I'll be getting the recolored Helex and Tesarus along with the Tarn+combiner parts for combined mode.

    20230217_162527.jpg

    All that said, he did have an MMC Feral Fex that kinda tempted me - looked to be in pretty good shape overall; he had a small assortment of other 3P figures (MMC Cyclonus and Arcee, TR-01 Jazz, FT Kup and Springer, and a handful of other), but the bulk of the Transformers available were mainline - many being sealed - from virtually every line dating back to Machine Wars/Beast Wars up through SS and Legacy. Lots of Masterpiece - including many earlier releases. Cool shop for sure!

    I was tempted by a sealed Energon Grimlock & Swoop, as well as a sealed TRU Titanium Die-cast Optimus vs. Megatron (War Within designs), but I'm trying to keep the collection a bit more focused (actually trying to sell my other Titanium Die-cast figures; got rid of my Energon collection years ago).

    Anyways - worth checking out (better selection than Gamer's Alley, in my opinion) if you're in the area.

    And if whoever traded that Iron Factory DJD set and/or MMC Feral Rex in roams these forums - let me know! I'm curious if you might have the rest of the instructions for the DJD guys, and/or if you have any other figures you might be wanting to sell or trade.
