Wingfinger and Scorponok are shipping from GameStop. I think they've still got the former in stock, but the later is not. My order was from mid-June so that's the only reason mine is likely coming now.
Argenta Target has Cyclonus and Dinobot, as well as a few Earth Magnus and a Megatron. One Ractonite and several Core Starscream/Megatron as well.
Andover Walmart has a few Core Soundwaves if anyone is looking for him. Otherwise, nothing new Transformers wise in the other scales. I'm kinda glad I bought a couple Studio Series 86 Scourges here rather than wait for the Sweeps. LOL I know they're all supposed to look just like Scourge, but I kinda liked the option of different faces that 3rd party X-Transbots did for their Sweeps.
I know the animation doesn’t line up when Unicron reformats the deceptions, but I like the idea of Scourge and Cyclonus being Thundercracker and Skywarp, while the sweeps are the insecticons. It would be cool if the sweeps had different faces that resembled Kickback, Bombshell, and Shrapnel.
I first got into Castlevania by walking into a gamestop back when they used to get to play game music in the store and hearing Vampire Killer. That made me buy Circle of the Moon, and since then I've played pretty much every Castlevania and beaten about 75% of the, including the OG ones, which are ROUGH. The N64 ones are also super rough, and Lament of Innocence was trying to do 3d better but didn't quite get it. I know Curse of Darkness and Lords of Shadow are divisive, but I think they're both amazingly fun games and I REALLY wish CoD was on Xbox's backwards compatibility list. Metroidvania or 'search action' is like one of my favorite game genres. I could go on for days. Which is why the show bums me out. The animation studio that does it does action well, but I think their best series was Seis Manos and even that was kinda rough. Not to mention the only expression they can draw is dull surprise. Ha, I've got wingfinger and tracks shipping from Gamestop, and Scorponok should be here from Amazon next week. If anyone needs a wingfinger, HMU, otherwise I'll be returning the extra (I'll have an extra scorponok... someday... too) Man, I thought nothing ever showed up first in the north metro. XD Congrats dude, if I was a less lazy man, I'd run up there and grab a soundwave. Yeah I don't really get it. I mean, I know a lot of people will buy it because of the box, but like... is there ANYTHING actually different from Sweep to Scourge?
It's a way to do a running variant while giving it a little more value to collectors. And now if you missed Scourge you can... technically...have him.
So since it was my birthday, I decided to see if I could swing up to Andover and find Core Soundwave. I did not. But what I can tell you is that the following targets have nothing interesting: Andover, Coon Rapids, Champlin, Brooklyn Park, Edina, Bloomington. I did see some Tri-Clops MOTU at Andover but I dunno if that's a rare dude or not. Either way, at least I got the Heisei Gamera Trilogy for my birthday.
So has there been any more sightings of Kingdom Galvatron? I'm more interested in finding him than Rhinox as I may pick up Rhinox if I see him on shelves, but otherwise am content with the older Thrilling 30 one.
Shakopee Target had Magnus and a couple Arcee still. They even had some Cheetor and Warpath if anyone missed them the first time around.
For any Joe fans, today's Target Collectors Spot reveal is a restock of Cobra Island. Listings go live at 8am.
Man, I am not a Joe collector, but the Classified line does look pretty sweet. As far as sightings go, nothing new at Edina target. They did have some wave 2 core and deluxe (including one huffer). I got Tracks from Gamestop. He's... something? Like, I think his vehicle mode looks FANTASTIC, but his robot mode seems to have kinda stubby legs. It's not bad, but the whole leg transformation in general is a little weak (and I know we've seen it on some other figure recently, but I can't remember who). That said, he's solid. Also, I have an extra Wingfinger if anyone wants him before I return him to Gamestop.
Interesting sighting. Dollar Tree at 90th and Penn in Bloomington has series 5 Bot Bots for $1. Might be at other locations as well. One full box at least minus the bubble tea guy and the gold ones cause what the heck for a buck.
