    For the record...I was joking around when I suggested bringing the top secret, street dated figure over to Target. Was it funny? Apparently not. My apologies. I do not condone being an ass to anyone or recommend you do that...nor did I suggest in that (bad) joke that anyone be an ass to the Target employee(s). Thank you, have a good day.

    If anyone is around the new Star Wars stuff tonight / tomorrow, I'm looking for the Black Series Mandalorian (the standard version, as opposed to the "carbonized" Target exclusive).

    If anyone could either shoot me a sighting OR if you could grab one for me, I could Paypal you pretty much immediately!

    Also generally.... are there enough Star Wars guys here that we could do SW sightings, just over the weekend?

    Not sure if I'll be out - but I'll keep my eyes open if I am.

    I think people usually just lump those in with other sightings. I wouldn't care if people did that since there's not really any new TF stuff in stores ATM. Still on the lookout for Botbot S3 5 and 8 packs, but other than that, I'm good.

    (Maybe attach some thumbnails of the guys you're looking for too since like... I know what the words you said were but I dunno what they look like XD)

    Also: *EDIT* Earthrise wave 1 up on Pulse, along with Chromar.

    I forgot I'm also looking for new 6 inch Luke! Anyway they could be in a white (first issue) or regular black box.

    Well, nothing either way at Bville target tonight. Nothing in the way of TF's either.

    Joker was good tho. SUPER UNCOMFORTABLE, but good.

    Welp, after some running around, I managed to get my Mandalorian! Not sure if that yellow jacket Luke is even out yet.

    I have one of those. I know it seems silly but you should use that little cap that comes with it or you'll likely slice your fingers the first time you try it.

    A couple of Thundercrackers at the Coin Rapids Riverdale Target. I did not test the street date issue with them.

    Thundercrackers at Edina too. Didn't check street dates or nothin'. Rainmaker set too. Who's psyched to buy eight more seekers when Earthrise comes out? XD

    (Also: now we gotta be on the lookout for Impactor and Mirage!)

    Just a reminder that Fallcon is this morning/afternoon. I will have a good sized selection of Tf's old and new at the booth along with a lot of other great collectibles. If anyone is looking for parts, I'll have 18 monster boxes full with me. I'm also looking for parts and toys if any of you would like to sell or trade.

    I look forward to hanging out with those who do stop by.

    A whole bunch of Smashdown, also a Springer, at AV Target off Pilot.

    Shout out to Hiro, who I had a chance to catch up with at Fallcon. Was fun seeing him out in his element. Sorry I couldn't help give your Overlord a good home, but was awesome getting to even see one.

    Selling a couple Generation 2 items of anyone's interested:

    $85 - Devastator complete with unused stickers. One broken waist connector peg, but Scrapper holds tight. Everything else very nice shape. 20191006_164836.jpg

    $50 Jazz complete. Slight sticker fading, otherwise nice! 20191006_173756.jpg

    Sorry for the double-post, but I thought this deserved its own post. 20191007_153335.png

    Up your crankshaft, Sail Barge.

    That was an error. The final number was 146% (about 11k units).

    Does anybody know if target is preparing for a reset, cuz I’ve been to three stores tonight and the siege peg was empty at all stores? I even had someone check and nothing (I know those aren’t always reliable but still).
