    Any CA help with Creatures Collide would be appreciated. You can have the Ransack as a finder's fee (but I'd prefer to have the alt head).

    I've seen a couple Targets with a load of shipping crates in the parking lots. I get the feeling some Targets are holding out on restocking their shelves for some bch ass reason.

    The chain is doing a large scale remodel/refresh of their buildings. If you see the mini-city of shipping containers in the parking lot, it means they are on the list to get refreshed.

    Ah you're right. The real one is unavailable. I'm guessing you just refreshed the page until you caught someone's abandoned preorder?

    Just came back from Jefferson Target in Culver City and they had 1 SS Ironhide and 2 Arcees (Bumblebee movie version). A Wheeljack, too, if anyone missed him.
