    I wouldn't know. I've had one since I started working for Target way back in 2003. But back then only employees could get the debit version of the Red Card and you filled out paperwork if you wanted one when you were hired along with your normal direct deposit paperwork. I'm not really sure how the normal registration works because of that. Though I know someone on here said that the website was having trouble recognizing their bank account info when doing it online so they had to go in and finish the application in person. Don't know if that's a widespread issue or not.

    Origins Scarlett is missing an ear and no one seems to care! It's weird. I cancelled my order and am seriously considering limiting myself to Storm Shadow figures moving forward.

    I didn't notice that until you pointed it out, but now I can't unsee it. I imagine they were thinking that it was just covered by her hair, but I'm not sure if that works out anatomically. You'd think you'd be able to see a lobe at least.

    Didn't think I'd be talking about Scarlett's ears today...

    Huh. Never noticed since I don't have any interest in the Origins figures, but damn she's indeed missing an ear. My immediate thought is the same as yours. The sculptor probably figured it'd be covered by the hair, but part of the lower portion of the lobe should be sticking out at least. Yikes. That said it certainly doesn't kill my enjoyment of the rest of the line... you know since the film was kind of disappointing anyway.

    See I think that's crap. I went to target the other night and it had restocked them from the original 5 they had. Should fill all preorders first.

    Well, I hope it starts moving to you soon. He turned out far better than expected from what I've seen.

    For anyone that has Barbecue in hand and ML Arcade, how’s that head swap? Wondering if Amazon’s insistence on shipping me Arcade when I ordered Stealth Iron Man is the universe telling me something.

    My BBQ says 11/8 but I’ve had things arrive about 4 days earlier but I’m also about 3 hrs away from where Target ships from.

    My Ravage got shipped but only charged for Zartan.

    Yeah, I still haven't seen the movie and wasn't going to pick up any of the figures from it except Scarlett. I was mainly interested in her because I thought she might work a bit better for that character slot than the first Classified release. But with how much I'm digging the direction of the line lately, I'm considering waiting it out to see if we get another version down the line.

    I still think it's a pretty cool looking figure, though, and I could live with the lack of an earlobe. But I know myself, and I know that if we got a new one that looked as good as HA Roadblock, I wouldn't be able to resist.
