    There is only one per case. I was there when the employee brought me the box and handed me Optimus instead and I told her I wanted the other one.

    You'd be surprised. It's Christmas, and they're pushing these big time.

    From what I am hearing from the Canadian community is that many people are searching, but they only find Optimus in stores.

    I was looking today. Nothing. Only old siege deluxes showing up. Brunts, Six-guns and an Impactor is all I seen. They are on sale for half price. I think Walmart is cleaning out old inventory before they will put new stuff in stores

    They intentionally brought in a bunch of new Siege inventory to have something on shelves to sell this year. Covid seems to have prevented Earthrise from being at decent saturation still.

    Same. My area is restocked with Siege figures. Honestly think we are going to buy old figures that most of us already have in order to get new stock?

    I'm afraid so. The only tip I can offer is be there after they finish unloading truck or first thing in the morning.

    I missed getting this by 20 minutes today. My friend in another city missed getting it by less than 50. Why the f*** does Hasbro and Walmart think one or two of these is good enough for an entire city? And then they just fill the shelves with Hoist and Grapple that nobody wants. Can somebody please tell me how they make money with this model?

    So two Netflix Soundwaves:

    - one has QA on his mouthplate, a visible scratch
    -one has QA on the gold trim of the tape deck "lid", looks like maybe a small "popped bubble" during paint app

    I am thinking either swap heads, or swap "lids", and one will be perfect (other will have two QAs)

    Removing the head: appears to be two pieces glued together, would have to snap open? I imagine people may have attempted this giving Siege Soundwave Soundblaster's red visor? (Anyone able to comment on this?)

    Removing the tape deck lid: I feel this is the foolhardy choice, it's all clear plastic with two pins at the base to push out, and probably a spring mechanism that could get f*cked?

    I haven't done much modding to figs, anyone able to advise?
