    No Transformers sightings, but I found the Kanan and Ahsoka 6" Star Wars black figures at Knollwood Target...
    I bought them both, and left 2 farm boy Luke's, and a Kanan hanging.

    Anyone have a Note 4 cell phone? I have a 2-pack of batteries and a wall charger. It's from Anker. I used one battery for one day. I hoped it would fix the issues I was having, but it wasn't battery related. I have a different phone now so I don't need these...

    PM for price and location if interested. Thanks.

    So I did the whole Ironhide shoulder fix, but does anyone else feel like it kinda inhibits articulation? I don't want to change it back at the moment, but it seemed like his arms had more range of motion before I swapped stuff around.

    Forgot to mention that the Burnsville Target had a couple of the Wreck Gar wave last Friday while I was out shopping with my kids and sister. Also ran into an EMP Starscream. :D

    I was at Burnsville TRU over the weekend and the only thing I really noticed is that deluxes were $22. At that point I didn't really give a fack what they did or didn't have...

    This was the first I heard of a fix. I found a YouTube on how to do it, but I failed to understand why you'd bother. It didn't seem to make much of a noticeable visual difference, save for a top down view of some teeth on a ratchet joint. If that's the biggest difference, not sure it's worth the bother.

    Shoreview Target had a WG or two on Friday. Is he still the bee's knees ? Finally received my QW from BBTS. He's pretty rad...I think between him and QB my SW needs are covered...

    TRU will price match - just show them a price online and they will match it at the counter.

    For a repaint, he's got a much better paint job than his mold mate Groove. It's a shame we've got no official place to put him on Wreck Gar. Or even a spare Hot Spot torso bot to use him on.

    $22.99 Deluxes at Northtown TRU as well. That's pretty ridiculous. And here I was thinking $17.99 was high...

    It does make the shoulders sit a little closer to the torso so you can't see the posts connecting them, but yeah, it's not a huge deal either way.

    $20 is my breaking point for Deluxes. If that becomes the new norm, that's gonna be it.

    Bah! You beat me to them. If anyone happens to see Ahsoka or the others around town, please post as I have had no luck tracking these down.

    Hit Tonka TRU last night and they had all of the CW Combaticons & Trailbreaker if anyone is looking for these.

    Got MP Ratchet and Sphinx (not-MP Mirage) this afternoon.

    I think I like Ratchet more than Ironhide as that painted white he has on him is beautiful. Also, glad Takara gave us a way to have his red crosses on him.

    Sphinx is pretty good, too. I have a few 'derp' moments with him on transformation given the directions aren't the greatest, but figured it out.

    Hello all,

    While I'm waiting for Titans Return stuff, I'm on the hunt for the new wave of Walmart exclusive 3.75" Star Wars Black Series, including Phasma, Han in blue winter gear, and Leia in blue dress.

    If you have the scratch to grab a set (or any) for me, they could ring up at $12, $7, or even $5 BECAUSE WALMART.

    Or shoot me a PM if you see 'em? Whatever's clever.

    Thanks!

    Any idea if the others might have been there and gone? Or you just noticed her?

    Not sure. I normally don't look at Star Wars stuff, and this time when I glanced I recall seeing a Leia Organa in a blue robe on the peg.

    Picked up Warrior Thunderhoof w/ the "MAYMAYHEM" code on HTS. Should be it for my RiD hunting until Windblade & Bisk come out.

    Will also be selling some stuff when the next meet-up comes around, if only to make room for the 3-4 confirmed combiners we still have left.

    Also, in breaking news....

    So that sudden explosive cry of joy you may have heard in the distance is probably me.

    Thanks. I did manage to swing over there last night, and they did indeed have peg tags with the new upc. Clearly they'd sold through already, but at least I know they're around.

    A while back somebody linked me to a MN Star Wars sightings thread or forum, and now I've totally blanked. Anybody remember?

    How I wish Hasbro wouldn't entrust walmart with exclusives....

    These have shown up at just a few stores around the Metro. I'm still looking for a set as well. Sounds like some stores are holding them back with a release date of May 2nd for some reason, so if you don't find them before then, you might have more luck in a week. ;)
