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.

 

Imagine not sniffing your boxes before buying

This post brought to you by box sniffer gang

 

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:

 

Cool, Target's website claims that Frederick's Target has both sets available for buy online pick up in store, but I have yet to see either on the shelves

 

oh fuck they got mouse trap

 

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)

 

Ritchie Hwy Target has the Street Fighter crossovers out and one of The Fallen.

 

I’m still trying to figure out why these are even a thing. I really think they missed the mark on this collaboration.

 

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.

I got 1 Spike from Target. They price matched Macy's sale price for me, so maybe you can get great deals if you don't have a Macy's near you. Target will match their sale price.

I think that Spike is pretty cool. When I was a kid, I used to imagine a toy just like that for Spike. I'm shocked it took them 36 to make it. I bet the demand was high for a exo-suit Spike when the movie came out.

 

I also scored Kingdom Pipes at Gamestop for $11.48 but that was the only Transformer they had. They did have the retro classic G1 tin lunchboxes though.
