Got access to a CostCo? I stopped by one two weeks ago and there were stacks upon stacks of Leader Prime.

Dropkick is a Deluxe Movie figure. He is a Decepticon that transforms into a purple truck. The figure was released with the newer series of movie deluxe figures. For collectors such as carabuser and I, the figures seems to be a pain in the ass to find.

lol, I already know who he is, reading comprehension ftl. Yeah, I figured it was being released with the newest case assortment, but I really find it odd that I'm not finding him anywhere, especially when TFs like Longarm, Payload, and Arcee hang on the toy pegs for at least a full day before they're all snatched up.

That just rubs me the wrong way; why would Dropkick, a movie toy not in the movie, be such a popular one?

Weird.

I wouldnt say dropkick is as popular is concept BB, but i'd say he comes in second in terms of the newer shipments.

Dropkick has had great reviews and ratings, and i saw two of him one day, along with all the other assortments cuz TRU just restocked (someone beat me to BBs however.) I wasnt sure if i wanted to get him, so i hid one with a better paint app, and when i came back he was gone. In fact...just about all of the figures were gone.

Seems like every figure, good or bad, is flying off the shelves, payload, dreadwing, arcee, final battle jazz.

its nuts.

La Habra's in Orange County, just barely, east of Brea, south of Hacienda Heights/La Puente. Borders Whittier on the west.

There's a couple dudes here that live in HH that might be able to help you out with that. HH is my hometown, but I moved out a couple years ago, so I can't be any help to you.

Target Alhambra has the following this morning:

Movie Deluxe:
1 x Dropkick (I picked it up)
1 x Barricade (I picked it up)
2 x Arcee
2 x Brawl
2 x Wreckage
2 x Jazz
2 x Scorponox
2 x Bonecrusher

They also have 2 Leader Brawls.

Cheers!
