    I’m just impatiently waiting for legacy wave 3 to hit near me.

    Because I’m apparently a masochist, I stopped at Fredneck Target on my way home. They didn’t use the day to put out anything new, sadly.

    Wave 3? I haven't even seen wave 2! Crazy to think about with how even recently I've seen wave 1 getting restocked

    Not a sighting, but I witnessed something extremely bizarre this morning. While checking the local Target for anything new (there wasn't anything BTW), there was a dude in the aisle just being really creepy. He proceeded to start picking up the boxes and sniffing them all before putting them back on the shelf. It was extreme unsettling and weird how creepy he was being. Can't say I've ever seen something like that in all the years I've been collecting.

    I know I'm probably pushing my luck with this, and I believe I already know what I'll see in response, but has anyone seen Legacy Armada Starscream yet? I know some of wave 3 has been trickling here and there, but I'm only curious.

    That is very unsettling, and I think I know who you might be talking about. What did that person look like? I recall seeing someone do that at the Walmart in Cockeysville on Saturday.

    Probably about mid 40’s, early 50’s. Dark and grey hair. Crazy part was, dude had rubber gloves on and a mask. He literally had the mask pulled down to sniff the boxes!!! I was blown away. I had to just walk away, it was too weird.


    So, IT WAS YOU!!!!??? Jk. LOL

    Oh, and to answer your question, so far I’ve only seen wave 3 deluxes, no voyagers or leader Megs yet.

    Towson Target had 2 Crankcases (grabbed one) and a bunch of core class SS Spike Witwickys. Nothing of note at the Walmart.

    Nothing officially new on the shelf at Ritchie Hwy target, but these were on a cart that was actively being unloaded while I was there about 20 minutes ago:

    Nothing at the Frederick 85 Wal-Mart. Target had the Pink Bumblebee Laserbeak Studio Series, and they finally put out the Transformers x Street Fighter figures. I could have been a real stink, as they stuck both in the Legacy and Studio Series Leader sections on the shelf, so the prices had $39.99 sales tags on both, and I pointed that out to an employee that I could have made them honor that price (because I do not think the listed prices are worth repaints like these)

    Then I went to customer service to get a rain check on the Studio Series Leader figures as they have had none since mid-October, and they are not showing any coming any time soon, and all three employees looked at me like "what is a rain check?" They tried to tell me all I had to do is take a picture of the empty shelf with the tag and they would honor that price for 30 days after the sale ends?!?

    Has anyone seen any of the new GI Joe Classified (either the Twins or Python Patrol) anywhere in MD yet? Also, for those looking, the Frederick Target had a bunch of the Black Series Dark Troopers and a case worth of the Black Series Holiday Mandalorian. They also had the new Netflix He-Man Grayskull Playset (that thing is huge)

    I think these came out like 4 years ago originally. I don’t know why they came back. But hasbro recently did the power Rangers TMNT crossovers too, and now they are doing a Street Fighter Power Rangers crossover, not to mention transformers crossovers with everything else. So I guess that’s a thing Hasbro is pushing now.

    The price is what gets me. I'm only really interested in the Chun Li. I'm pretty sure they do them because they can charge extra for the licensed franchises.

    If they actually made a whole line of SF characters using random repaints from earlier Generations sagas...

    Juri= Legends Black Arachnia would be something I'd buy in a heartbeat.
    Seth= T30 Jetfire
    Cammy= PotP Elita One
    Decapre/Juli/Juni/Santamu/All the Dolls = PotP Moonracer - Because a Doll combiner with Cammy as the base would be neat.
    Blanka= TR Alpha Trion
    R.Mika= T30 Megatron
    Zangief= TR Broadsides.
    Dhalsim= TR Astrotrain
    E.Honda= T30 Roadbuster
    Vega=Generations Whirl
    Dan= T30 Bumblebee
    Gill= TR Overlord
    Fei Long= T30 NightBeat
    Necali= CW Skylinx
    Guile= T30 Springer
    Charlie= T30 Sandstorm
    Hugo= Potp Optimal Optimus Primal
    Rufus = T30 Rhinox
    Elena = T30 Chromia

    There’s a Dead End at Abingdon Target. I would have picked it up but my Amazon one is being delivered today.
