    I never saw Kingdom Red Alert, passed the one time I saw him in stock on Pulse, and the last time I was at Walgreens there were a glut of Kingdom Tracks on the shelf. Ugh.

    I have concerns about Minerva's availability. I am disappointed in the lack of Headmaster. Her alt-mode is somewhat hideous. I detest one-offs when they're supposed to be part of a team. But gosh darn it she scratches that Masterforce itch real good and I have to have this figure.

    Now this I'd never buy from a scalper. There are too many Walgreens around, including one within walking distance from home and another across the street from my work.
    I've never had a problem with a Walgreens Exclusive although I didn't go in on Red Alert or Ratchet. Seen 'em a few times but wasn't interested.
    I like this Minerva though, I like the character., I like the mold, I think she'll be a great addition. I'll try to get the LG Headmaster on to her but if it don't work out or looks weird that's okay as well, her stock head is fine.

    Pulse had last year's Walgreens exclusive. I expect they will this year as well :cool:

    With the door wings I think JP-93 is good for Strongarm

    if anyone wants a minerva, i'm pretty sure The Falcon's Hangar will have one when she eventually arrives in singapore, where TFH is situated. even if she doesn't it's a great place to import figures that either show up early or wont show up at all in your country

    I'd rather a RiD15 Strongarm use a new mold or retool of Siege Hound (c'mon Hasbro, you could get a Strongarm and Detritus out of an Earth Hound). If they use a JP93 base, I'd hope they'd at least replace the ball & socket arms.

    Ok, I was going to check that at work tomorrow. My best guess is they were able to get someone to do a manual adjustment.

    If you follow the 2019 IDW continuity then she can go on your Wreckers shelf.

    Technically couldn’t Star Saber go their as well? Since isn’t he one of the cameos of Wreckers in that universe?

    Yes because we haven't see Headmasters being put in a post wfc line or a Porsche alike.

    Siege Apeface, Earthrise Snapdragon and Studio Series 86 Jazz do not exist.

    I doubt Legacy Dead End is licensed.

    I had an employee at Walmart scan her barcode and he said it's not in their system. I asked if the get wrong shipments of items and he said it happens.

    RID2015 Strongarm from Siege Hound is such a no-brainer I can't believe it hasn't shown up in Selects yet. SmallFoot would work alright if they want to do a red version too. Hell, that would've been a great two-pack with the Crasher we're supposed to get from Earthrise Mirage.

    On the topic of Gears and Strongarm, I wonder how a strongarm could look out of a Gears, as he probably won’t be as small as say Huffer/Pipes and Cliffjumper/Bumblebee, especially since his robot mode head is almost guaranteed to be a separate piece from the grill of the truck you could probably just slap a new head on, it’s still probably to small and they won’t do it, but still I wonder

    I think that would be awful. I kinda hope hasbro makes a new legacy compatible offroad and then repaint it into strongarm.
