    Update: turns out there is a separate price tag for Powerizers, so Skyquake is actually $29.99. Way too much for a Voyager.

    Yeah I wouldn't expect them to be a better price, but since I haven't seen them locally anywhere else, the coupon helped cut the TRU price down to everyone else's.

    I will never understand why comic/gaming stores do that. That "Dragon hoarding, it will eventually sell" mentality boggles me. Past-Present-Future comics does the same thing in Palm Beach. I actually broke down one day and asked them if they liked their products as perma-decorations.

    Doomtron - Sandstorm has been sighted at the Towncenter Target and TRU this past week. I've also seen him at the Target on Southside.

    Dunedin Kmart still has nothing. Hoping reset comes soon. It's usually pretty thin there on tfs, but not like this. This Kmart seems to be well behind the other box stores when it comes to tfs to begin with. Sometimes by a month or longer.

    I've given up on the Big K. They just never seem to have anything in comparison to how quickly Target or Wal-Mart will get new inventory in.

    Yeah, it's a few bucks more than my limit for a voyager... but I DO want Skyquake a lot. So I think i Ipersnally ran across him at that price then I might pick him up, but shipping would definitely put him out.

    Thanks for looking though, Lemon.


    Those are ridiculous prices alone, but given that a lot of that stuff can still be found in SOME stores and online for a lot less... :confused:

    WOW MP'S $$$ shocking
    The only price that seems ok is the SDCC metro at $300 (bought mine for $275 shipped)
    You can still buy the shockwave set last time I looked for $50 on hasbros web site.

    Congrats! Glad you found him.:thumb 


    What's the difference between the SDCC Metroplex and the retail version in stores now for between $100-$150 (which they're also selling for almost double)?

    SDCC has a awesome box with awesome box art. IMHO
    But the difference between the two are paint apps SDCC Metro has a chrome face and thighs and comes with bunch of mini figures from FOC and a second gun!!

    The regular Metro has no paint apps or mini figures. And it's not a SDCC Exclusive!

    I paid 240 off EBay for mine. Don't forget he comes with 2 guns. The chrome makes a huge difference, looks way more g1 and breaks up all the white. Box is amazing. If you need to put him in the box you can display him inside the clear clamshell standing up. If you buy the retail you will never be able to put him back in the box for storage because once you attach the arm it locks in place and can't be removed. Now I don't know why you would want to put him back in the box but just saying.
