    I’m not normally a huge fan of fake chests/hoods, but Hot Rod manages to have a better-looking bot mode than the MP, so I’ll allow it! He may be a small Voyager, but I think you get quite a bit for just $30.

    Now Scourge. Scourge is a beast.

    Knowing that just means I'll probably pass on T-Wrecks so I don't drown in the mold.

    But with how much tooling they change for stuff it's possible they'll fix some of that in the process.

    Honestly I am kinda worried about X-Spanse since SS Jetfire has that week joint in the spine...

    AV Target off Pilot has what looks like a themed endcap between the Fischer Price and Barbie.

    Has *only* Kingdom and Buzzworthy DPCIs on it. May be worth monitoring.

    The only Kingdom stuff was Cores.

    Looks like everyone cleaned out any Kingdom and Studio Series put out by Target around my area for now. LOL

    Only Kingdom figure I didn't find yesterday was BW Megatron, but I'm sure I'll find him. Has the only Studio Series spottings been the Voyager figures? (Hot Rod and Scourge)

    Thrust all over the place, Chaska and Shakopee. 2 Primals left in Shakopee. Chaska has like 6 Bee and Spike core left. One core Optimus. A bunch of rat trap, Vertebreak and 1 Paleotrex. I bought the last Blackarachnia. There was one Cheetor left, but that was a few hours ago.

    Chaska also has 3 Studio Series MP Bee.

    Here's my little haul.

    Not shown, Thrust and Optimus Core. I am impressed by the core line, btw. Optimus is a little hard to transform, but it is fun and the plastic feels good. Thrust is exactly the same as the Earthrise seekers.

    Was just at Blaine North 109th Target and it is still totally picked over for both TF and Lego. No restocking yet there.

    Also two Thrusts at Ridgedale Target as of about 1pm. One on the shelf, one I returned because I thought people were set on him :( 

    So that one may still be at guest service.

    PS: Anyone still need Netflix Soundwave? I have an extra.

    Isn't that the part that comes off for the gun tho? Doesn't seem like he'd have that.

    Were there any Bee and Spike cores at Shakopee target? He's the only one I'm still actively looking for since Cyclonus should be here whenever if falls out of the vortex it fell into between UPS and USPS clears.

    Also, on the core figures, yeah I really like them. There's fun engineering in Vertebreak and Rattrap for sure. Maybe I WILL have to try prime soon, too.

    God it's been awhile. I thought it was the joint you need to fold to compress his upper/lower body for bot mode.

    Lots of Kingdom stuff at the Quarry Target, including a full case if Wave 1 deluxes, one Primal and seven core class toys. Also one ER Runabout. No Thrust or Studio Series 86.

    Edit: and three Ecto-1s.

    When did Target start stocking the Super7 Reaction figures?

    They have for a while, but all in one place usually rather than by the thing they're based on.

    They're a less interesting version of the PotP cards.

    Allegedly there's three versions of each "key character" but so far we've only seen Dinobot, Arachnia, the Ark, and Prime.

    Not sure if something changed or if future waves will have different characters and they scrapped the alternate versions
