    Nothing at the Targets in San Ramon, Dublin, or Livermore. Didn't have time to check East Dublin but they tend to suck in terms of inventory. Walmart in Livermore and Pleasanton were lacking in TFs but I did find 1 Star Wars TVC Ahsoka Clone Trooper at Pleasanton so the hunt wasn't a waste.

    Received Dead End and Pointblank from Amazon yesterday. Dead End is so-so. Trouble with getting the rear to connect in car mode. Happy with Pointblank. He looks like a stick figure but I was a sucker for headmasters and targetmasters and never had Pointblank as a kid. So I’m just thrilled to have him. All I need is Sureshot to round out the 87 roster and then Gears to complete my 82-87 lineup.

    It tabs, you just need to push gently from the bumper to make the feet tab into the legs, then the pieces should align flush.
    I was able to get two copies to align properly this way.

    Check this youtube video


    At the 8:20 marker in the video, TMan978 explains how to lock into the tab holders near the rear window of the car to help tighten up the space between the two leg parts and not make the bumper seem off. I don't know how I did not figure it out on my own but I think all that crimson red made me detail blind...
