    Well the \"Dairy Country\" got the stocks first. With the ongoing liquidation of TRU in the US, I\'ll expect Asian countries will get it next.
    I will not wonder if Studio Series are now at the warehouse of our country\'s local Hasbro distributor and just keeping quiet about it waiting for the street date.
    Or maybe Target and Walmart already have it, also waiting for the street date too.

    And then, one day, in the near future, the USA stopped getting toys altogether. All the toy stores went out of business. All the stores like Walmart & Target stopped stocking new product.



    Oh wait! That already happened.:eek:

    This will be a problem. Big problem. Walmarts and Targets aren't that "toy centric" compared to TRU.

    I can relate hard man, however I could never get blackout when I was 9 so I had to settle with evac who I pretended was blackout. That 9 year old in me will be buying that guy from the first place he is available in the UK, no matter the markup

    I think I’m going to start using this instead of my typical wet panty jokes.
    I.....


    I DID THIS ONE TIME!

    Just picture a grown man frantically trying to shown a leaderclass box between two pegs that are two close together and shit falling everywhere.

    I ran out of the store that day.

    For literally the first Transformers michael bay character to appear on screen, this is appropriate not just that but for his size. He\'s pretty huge compared to his Decepticon bretheren so I may get this to finalize the \"best\" figures Bayformers had to offer.

    This is probably one of the most entertaining thread I've been in. To think that Blackout, one of the most threatening Decepticon ever created, can bring so much joy to people.

    We got played by both New Zealand (for hogging all of the Blackouts) and the TFW news staff. What a day.

    Please New Zealand, have mercy and save some for the rest of us.

    Thats the thing compared to the rest of the world Australia and New Zealand (new zealand mostly compared to australia, as i used to live there) is the shit end of the world compared to the rest of it.

    This is why im suprised about this.
