    Watertown Marshalls and Kmart are less than a mile from my house. We'll have to meet up sometime.

    To those of you who picked up tr wheelie- how are the joint tolerances on him? I got mine via bbts, and he's a floppy, sloppy mess. I am considering picking up another if this is an isolated case. I do rather like the mold, and it's beyond the realm of floor polish.

    Got mine from BBTS as well. Wrote my review of him here in the Feedback section.

    You might have to "square out" the notches on his arms to allow the "wrists" to plug into the mating tabs (some shaving of the tabs might be required as well).

    Joints weren't too bad, I did put some Acrylic Floor Polish on one shoulder. Currently he has been holding the "kicking over his head while standing on one foot pose" for the last three days. So my joints were pretty good.

    North Haven TRU had a case of the "Alt-Modes." The pegs were pretty bare...

    Hm. Shaving the tabs may help a little for me, but he doesn't even transform without falling apart.
    Thanks for the feedback!

    I have two Wheelies, and neither fall apart. Sorry you got a bad one.

    This one's off-topic for any Marvel Legends collectors. According to brickseek.com, Target in Newington has gotten the X-Men in stock. I'm assuming the site is working correctly. Dpci#087-06-5418.
    It's a great set, I just got a case today.

    My brother bought me a Sky Linx from Waterebury TJ Maxx, then later today he saw another one at the Torrington TJ Maxx.

    Anyone familiar with the Toy Vault in Waterford (at the mall)? I was thinking of taking a little detour there as I may be in that area soon. Do they have much of a vintage G1 selection?

    I don't know how to submit a news item anymore. There use to be a "submit news" feature.
