    Variant? Is there a different one? Would be cool if they did individuals or a Terrorcon display. We have this one at AMC at The Waterfront but someone took Prime’s chest windows. I want that Cheetor really bad.

    Oh man that’s crazy! I was too focused looking for different characters and didn’t even realize they weren’t cut outs. That’s embarrassing. Thanks for the clarification!

    This is the first time seeing any Red Dragon Megatron's or core class Ironhide. But I'm still a little out of the loop on what's still highly coveted at retail and only took a peak to see if they had Core class Swoop, so here's a picture of the TF section at Cheltenham Target.

    Not exactly a sighting, but had to get the local community’s input on this. I picked up a brand new Takara Legends Metroplex the other day from a flea market of all places. Literally brand new in box. Purchased immediately, never thought to ask where the guy got it from. Just opened it and comparing to my second hand Hasbro version from a few years ago. Trying to determine if the plastic on the hasbro one has yellowed or if it has always been an off white? Even the painted parts on the Hasbro look to be off white.

    Does it smell at all? That almost looks like smoke staining.

    Not sure this is the place for this, but are there like posts for PA fan meetups, or is that a weird thing given it's 2023 and not, like, late 90s early 00s?

    If you're a Mac Discount user (and you should be), there are nine (nine!) SS86 Perceptor figures up for auction with five days to go.

    Just be aware that they're at the Bridgeport, Ohio warehouse, so getting it transferred to a location closer to you is going to cost you another $5.

    But hey, if you have a friend in the Bridgeport area that needs Perceptor....

    I got my Titan Metroplex off them for $33, and that's with paying someone to pick it up and bring it to my house. You can get insane deals off them.

    In sighting news if anyone needs a Kingdom Red Alert the Washington Walgreens has 5 in the seasonal aisle.

    No smoke smell. One of the first things I thought of. I did disassemble the arm to compare the inside plastic to the outside. Looks to be the same off white color.

    I picked it up at what I considered to be a steal. $400.00. Not many times you see a NIB takara figure this old.

    Thank you for the heads up! I was real bummed cause he basically skipped proper retail here.

    If people note what one they go for it could be helpful to avoid stepping on anyone else in the thread’s toes. Obviously we still have competition outside of this group, but worth a shot. That said, I went with #5222. Good luck everyone who still needs a scientist for their collection!

    Chambersburg Walmart has 2 Mainline voyager Prime. There was a Primal, but I bought it. Besides that, it’s the same old stuff.

    Target on 22 in HBG restocked. Same stuff as last post, but now with SS core class ironhides (no Ratchets) plus RotB Arcee. Also they got the RotB BA weaponizers besides Cheetor

    2x legacy galv
    2x legacy Blitzwing
    2x legacy Transmetal II Megatron
    1x sludge
    1x SS The Fallen
    And a few less Jazz Origins and NEST autobot ratchet

    1x SS TLK Hotrod and 1x SS Crosshairs
    1x skullgrin, crankcase, pointblank

    Really wish they had more of the interesting RotB stuff (like a mainline primal).

    Oh and 6x jungle mission 3 pack. Love the one I have, but you really only need 1

    Edit: I was going to mention the 2 SS RotB Freezers but I was purchasing them, as that's all they had.

    At the self checkout they did not scan. I was told they are a Target+ product when the rep scanned them, but his explanation was not helpful. I asked if it was a subscription or pick up process or something.

    Any of you folks know?

    I believe that the "Target+ product" is just a way of saying that the thing isn't out yet and it was just an error that Target did,give it about a month and they'll be available I believe
