    Crankcase is in stock at BBTS, but nobody else from that next deluxe wave.

    Anybody get word on Pointblank, Dead End or Skullgrin?

    Hasbro had talked about shipping solid crates to etailers rather than messing around with waves as a means of combating supply issues.

    So that could be at play.

    So a solid case of each figure? I totally believe it - do you remember where Hasbro said that?

    I think it was in general discussing shifting practices ahead of the holidays.

    The overall impact is mostly speculative, from what I recall.

    Instead of traditional waves, they'd ship product as it was ready. So my assumption that translates to solid cases of figures as they roll off the line instead of waiting until everyone in a wave is ready and packed.

    I believe it was in one of their round table discussion. It may’ve been the one from December 21.

    Nope. But AV Target off Pilot had the Ironheart and Controller waves of Legends, and Macy's of all places had the Infinity Ultron wave. So Hasbro stuff is coming.

    In addition to Pax/Trion shipping, Slicer and Flamewar shipped for me as well.

    Also got a Dr Wu Sworddancer, Eris Kultur, and Delta Baser coming from TCP. Man I love that they do rewards points cuz I was able to knock off $100 from Delta. I wish BBTS would do something like that or at least free shipping after X amount. Chosen Prime rules.

    Did anybody happen to grab an extra Minerva from Pulse? I completely missed that she went up… and sold out.

    Holy crap I was just down the street from there this week for work.

    Speaking of.... saw this as I was walking on a sidewalk along a pond by the Omni hotel:

    Sadly, I DIDN'T see the Wave 3 Legacy Deluxe sighting post until it was too late to hit up a target.

    Oh dude, they have red cog there??? XD

    Man, it's preorder hit city this week.
    Flamewar, Slicer, A Hero is Born 2 pack, thew newest wave of BotBots, GI Joe Crossover Bee, all hitting at the same time. My poor bank account.
    Flamewar's pretty cool. Great deco, just wish they had give the pterodactyl some way to more easily attach to the bike in alt mode.
