    I put down preorders on both Pulse and Target as a safety precaution. If both ship I should be able to help you out.

    Before I throw them on eBay, is anyone here interested in Masterpiece BW Megatron or Blackarachnia?

    FYI: The Kingdom Spoiler Pack (Meg + Purple Paleo), as well as the vintage BW stuff is all part of Black Friday at Walmart.

    All around $35. Cheetor and Rattrap are $16.

    ---

    Amazon has TF marked down as well. The two Battle Across Time sets are $34 each. Among others.

    As an addendum, I'd really like to sell MP BW Megatron locally, since I'm not confident in my ability to turn him back into his beast mode for packing

    *EDIT*
    Nevermind this, I transformed him back to rex mode

    Met up with Bluestreaker today to pick up a Red Alert. Thank you again my friend!

    I will be keeping an eye out for the Silverstreak Diaclone colors for you!

    Both T-Wrecks and Rodimus are 30% at Target today. The former is available but the latter has already sold out.

    EDIT: Amazon has Rodimus in stock, marked down to $56.

    I was able to pick one up at Edina Target
    Looks like they had a couple left. Glad you doubled up just in case.

    Make sure to check the packaging. Edina warehouse got pretty razor happy and sliced the tops of the ones they have when opening the box

    Looks good so far. Wasn't "sealed" so I could slide the VHS tape out to see the bot. But he looks in good shape.

    EDIT: Aside from the loose legs that both he and Mindwipe had, nothing wrong with this particular figure. I cancelled the preorder because I had one at Pulse and one at Target and I just got a shipping notice on *both* Tigatrons today.

    God willing I'll have at least one by the end of the week, and a second for the person who already called dibs on it.

    We have the new MP Thundercracker in stock at Richfield Hot Comics...
    It's $284.89...BUT our black Friday sale goes until 7pm tonight, and that will get you 25% off, which brings it down to $229.82 after tax and out the door...

    Saw someone doing a pick-up for a Draculus at Shakopee Target while I was returning my extra slug.

    Shakopee Target was pretty well stocked too. Lots of Galvs (didn't check the shoulders) and Megatrons, a shadow panther, some Dracodons, and one other slug that wasn't the one I returned 2 minutes prior (though if they had ran it to the back that fast, it woulda been impressive)

    Shakopee Target had a couple Waspinators, and a LOT of the first wave of BW reissues. Like, a LOT. Prolly 10 of each?

    Both stores had a buncha SS Thrusts. No one wants that guy, huh?

    EDIT: Draculus is 20% off at Target randomly today. For that price he's a great figure.
