    I've noticed a lot of duplicate listings on Kmart's website. I'm thinking that some of the items may be coming from other distributors, similar to what some other online retailers do. May be unreliable...

    You would get random figures of the same value. Say you order generations sandstorm, you would get beast hunters OPTIMUS prime instead.

    This wasn't something that didn't happen often it happened all the time. It's like playing Russian roulette when you order from Kmart.

    I might be making some massive oversight, but I do not see Skyquake on their site at all, other than the dinky little Cyberverse. Did it just sell out or something?

    Just a heads up that about Voyager Darksteel being offered up on Target.com -- it's not truly Darksteel, but Cryofire Predaking that they're really selling, despite the pictures showing the contrary. I received Cryofire Predaking instead of Darksteel yesterday and I'm headed to my local Target later today to return it for a refund. Stupid false advertising.

    I was wondering about that. They have two listings for predacons rising voyagers.

    Transformers Beast Hunter Predacons Rising Exclusive Voyager Figure


    Transformers Rising Darksteel Action Figure


    Which one did you order? I'm hoping the first one is actually Cryofire, and want to order him, but don't want to end up with another Darksteel.

    My theory on what happened to Starscream:

    Starscream: "Stay back you beasts!!!!"
    [​IMG]

    Starscream: "They are gone?"
    [​IMG]

    Starscream: "I must had scare those Predacons off. I knew they couldn't beat me, for I am the emperor of destruction."
    [​IMG]

    Dreadwing: "Hello emperor."
    Starscream: "You?!?!?!"
    [​IMG]

    Cliffjumper: "We have been expecting you."
    Starscream: "Does that mean I'm dead?"
    [​IMG]

    Dreadwing: "Duh. Now time for some beatings!!!!"
    Starscream: "WAKE UP!!! WAKE UP!!!!!!! WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

    I ended up returning Cryofire Predaking and picking up Darksteel at the same Target store (along with Legends Smokescreen 2-pack).

    Anyway, my new acquisition, Beast Hunters Deluxe Prowl. Modded his arm kibble to go on the rear of his shins and back, and added the shoulder rockets from United Tracks (they're a perfect fit), the rifle from FoC Ultra Magnus, and the shield from DOTM Deluxe Air Raid. Hopefully Reprolabels makes a sticker set for him.

    So FE Cliffjumper was at TRU today...

    Can I talk about how freaking mad I am that his hood-horn piece is so fucking brittle?

    Shattered to pieces on first transformation.

    Same issue with gdo cliffjumper some reason that part breaks very easy. I have the Canadian release prime cliff jumper MOSC and that how he'll stay in fear of the same issue happening to him.
