    I think I might have seen you over there just now. Or it was some other dude combing the action figure aisle while tapping his phone, lol.

    Haha, yep probably me. White shirt and a baseball cap? Next time you see me, give me a shout. It’s always good to meet up with people on the board.

    Great to see the seekers are being found again....of course after I ordered them from Target. I have yet to see any Snapdragons anywhere.

    I wasn't offered anything off, but I didn't expect anything either. I just wanted to give them a piece of my mind and make sure it wouldn't happen again when the Autobot set ships.

    Yeah, I kind of demanded it from the get go and when they realized they couldn't send me a replacement unit they just gave it. I did it very early (this past Saturday) when the problem was just surfacing. I'm guessing they have now identified the issue and have told their people to offer 20%.

    I was one of the early ones too. They just offered a full refund if I wanted to return it (not happening) or a 50% off if I want to keep it. They also supplied me with a temporary upload link that I could send a picture of my box to; even though they have the delivery pic of the box on my porch.

    Well, the problem with those sets shipping in their own packaging is just that one guy in one warehouse shipped like 200 of them like that. As much as it sucks, those guys get like $12 an hour and barely enough bathroom breaks. Hopefully they don't make that mistake again, but I'd not dwell on it too much. If anyone in RVA had the problem and wants my box, you can have it. Its in good shape.

    Hilariously I went by that Target not even 30 minutes later. I’m not in the market for the mpm so it’s just funny timing heh.

    I was in Burke for work and figured I would check on the off chance they would have a Overload or two. Saw the MPM-10s sitting there and just sort of grabbed them and fast walked to the self checkouts. Was expecting them to be street dated and would have a fight with a manager but they rang up with no issues. Took them out to the car and took a pic to post and went back in to take a better look once the tunnel vision was gone. They had nothing new work reporting. I did grab two Snapdragons from the Burke Walmart; one I sold already to another board member and the other is available to a local that wants it. If no one wants it I will probably hold on to it and chuck it into a Toys for Tots bin in a few months.

    I do have to say Screamer is one chunky heavy figure. Once you get all of the panels aligned in alt mode he is really solid. To tired to deal with a transformation tonight; something to look forward to tomorrow.

    didn’t think the target stores would be getting these. Do they have anymore? Do you have any extra? Let me know
