I'm skeptical of the price hikes, but I just got Slug out of the box and first impressions are "Oh okay this is where the costs are going..." He's got ratchets in his shoulders, knees, and hips. And the way his hands transform give him wrist swivel and no hollow forearms. Hell, the way his legs transform also mean no hollow hammys.
So dope. I know i mentioned it elsewhere, but there are parts on this guy that literally serve no purpose but to "close gaps" in bot/beast mode. Example: This piece flips up to let you rotate the beast leg out for dino mode. But once you do that it's only job is to close again. If it weren't there nothing about the transformation would change, you'd just have a little gap there where the leg rotated. It's completely covered in dino mode. The flap that hides his bot face is in his chest in bot mode. But in dino mode you'd only notice it if you looked at him from underneath. It's crazy.
I got that pickup notice today, too. So seeing you got yours, gives me some relief. Now the question on if I get Tracks here as that half of my order is still not there yet.
Don't believe me? I mean I'm not sure what counts as this wave since I'm kinda stupid. I mean the things coming out this month. Other then Galvatron. Ok maybe I'm just really dumb
Update: Tracks is apparently in for my order as well! I'll go to the store tomorrow to see if it's Tracks that I actually get and not say...Arcee. The timing is nice as well since tomorrow is my birthday. Woo!
Ot should be, as those listings like Slug were a specific figure. They do sell singles from assortments but those are labeled as such.
lol nah, I was just givin' you a hard time since you make it clear you're interested in Rodimus. XD That said, no rodimuses or anything else of interest aside from Bee 2 Packs at Bloomington target this morning.
Eagan and a number of surrounding Targets all claim to have Wrecks in stock. But I was *just* there and didn't see them. Odds seem pretty good they're sitting in back but there are options if people are looking.
Good Lord. Wonder if this is the same guy who steals the hands from Masters of the Universe Origins figures.
Geez... Seriously, if you can't afford toy collecting then get OUT. Oh, no! $22 for a figure! I'm just gonna swap it out with this other figure that is being clearanced out and screw someone else over. In other news, went to Best Buy and got my Studio Series Slag (Slug) and Kingdom Tracks. Haven't opened them yet, but so nice to have another member of the Dinobots. Hopefully, the remaining three will be revealed soon. As for Tracks...given the issues around him, I may have to dig out some stuff to fix him. We'll see. Now just looking for Kingdom Rodimus Prime and SS Wreck-Gar...and Kingdom Rhinox and Scorponok, but not as big of a deal.
FWIW I took it to customer service. The woman there immediately recognized that it was not the same figure and flagged it for removal. What a waste.
I’m assuming this was a bad-faith return, since it looks too “clean” to have been swapped in the store. I wonder if they can trace it back to the jerk who brought it in. Although if he paid cash, probably not.
That was actually my first thought when I saw a Generations figure without a plastic window… thieves will rejoice.
