Yes, when you get him be careful with his head.

I've heard that there is an issue with the head not releasing from the torso correctly due to an assembly error.

Yeah I am glad I watched a video review of it which explained hot to get it out correctly the first time.

The end of the video explains how to get the head out correctly.

So I decided to hit the local stores before heading out to Galveston to catch my cruise in hopes of scoring on pre-black friday restocks. Nothing really new, though TRU BTR has sold almost all of the 20 doubledealers that they had, making room for new voyagers at least. Also scored MP Prowl for $50 thanks to their 20% sale, not bad for being the first time seeing him in the wild!

I noticed that their army of Doubledealers had dwindled as well. I was a little shocked. I was there a few days ago, no Prowl. I got him online some time ago.

I did see Prowl at the TRU in Monroe, LA yesterday though. They had a couple MP Sunstorms as well. And was very well stocked overall.

No Arcee or Brainstorm though.

Watch, after the Black Friday rush figs like Arcee and Brainstorm will be hitting the pegs in full force.

Kinda like how TRU doesn't restock until after the BOGO sale is over.

Did my normal run of College WM, Millerville Target, Burbank WM, O'Neal WM, Seigen Wm, Target and TRU and didn't find anything new except hero mashers rodimus. Lines were too long so I didn't pick him up even thought I've been really interested in him for a while. Seeing reports of Brainstorm popping up in Walmart on Facebook though.

Here's hoping for some last minute xmas restocks. Good news is most everyone was mostly wiped out. Goodbye doubledealer, only a handfull of whirls and rhinox's, though aoe is still warming shelves.

I'll follow that up with nothing new at the DS WM or the Walker WM. Also nothing at the Hammond WM. Hammond did have a Doubledealer if you were needing one...

^ha! Ha ha! This guy.... get him on at the funny bone!

I do what I can. I checked out that Rodimus at TRU.com, looks pretty neat. I picked up a hero. Masher and was impressed with how weighty they are. They got him for 8.99 onkine. And that monster with Grimlock's head is hilarious.

I may pick up rodimus, springer and jetfire to satisfy my complitest nature for those characters.

When I say picked up, I meant just in store. How are they in person?

Sun Dec 07, 2014 12:42 am

I haven't picked any up in person yet either. I'm kinda hoping they're compatible with the ply with this too not-pretenders.

I just got word from one of my Facebook groups that Media Underground Comics in Metairie has Arcee and Chromia for $20.I won't be able to make it that way until the weekend so it's a lost cause for me, Y'all go snatched them up!

I'll go swing by Ronnie's shop in a little while.

News Credits: 104 · Tue Dec 09, 2014 6:32 pm

Ok, I stopped by and he had 4 arcees and one chromia. 3 of the arcees had open hands, one had closed hands. I bought one of the open hand ones.

Officially jealous... I swear it looks like it'll be tfsource for me...

Speaking of, today's search of the btr area included almost nothing except robot smashers... oh well, at least I was invited to Red Robin's preview opening!
