    This is off topic a little bit but has anyone heard what this years SDCC exclusive figure might be?

    No rumors yet. We didn't know about Throne of the Primes until the first week of July last year so it could still be another month.

    That’s what I thought when it was revealed, I was doing a little research looking for the date and I found July 2nd.

    How do you not pay tax on Amazon? Every order I place collects it.

    Nabbed the WW II Bee at Eagan Target.

    Danke T-Hybrid!

    EDIT: it's always fun doing Hasbro's assembly and quality control check for them. Honestly though, knocking the hammer pin out and flipping the handle was the only gripe. I like this little shellformer.

    Huh. I just got an alert that I earned a trophy for my time registered with TFW2005. Has it really been ten years? Wow.

    Third time was the charm to get the NECA movie TMNT SDCC boxset with Shredder, Splinter, and 2 Foot Soldiers. Thanks to kmoua7 for the help getting past NECA's crappy "Check Out" button on the store.

    I got all those thanks to help as I never saw them in Targets up here.

    I'm talking about the SDCC exclusive 4 pack from NECA that has the 1990 movie versions of Shrredder, Splinter, and 2 Foot Soldiers. I love that movie. It still holds up so well today. The sequel...not so much.

    Off the three Weaponizers, he's probably my favorite. The giant cannons you can make work great with leader classes.

    I haven't seen fresh cases in about a month, but I would check Shakopee Walmart (I saw one there like... 3 weeks back?) as well as EP Target. I think WalMarts might be your best bet ATM.

    Sweet thanks! I'll head that way today.
    Wonder why there is no restock on these? It can't take a month to tape all the peeling part of the packages could it.

    Seems like they usually don't put a new one out until the old one is empty. I'll keep an eye out though. What were the codes on those 2?

    Hamurai is 22 Overpack is 23.
    I've only ever seen one case in the east metro which I reported here I believe that was just over a month ago.
    The five and eight packs have dwindled to the point of all but disappeared as well.
