I didn't know they had a legion coming out. I have the 1 step changed, because I had a $10 coupon @ TRU that was expiring. He's neat, but would prefer he didn't auto transform. I dirtied him up to make him look a little less cartoony though. I'll keep an eye out/stash one if I see him!

I took a shine to the little ET looking guy. The 1 step is just too big. From what I've seen of the legion figure; he transforms the same way, only manually. The legion class of this line are so small he should scale very well.

I'm not a stickler for scale, but it's nice when it works out.

I'm not really collecting the RID line, just the ones that jump out at me. I like the vehicle modes better than bot mode. I may pick up Jazz and Sideswipe just to keep as cars.

I'm torn on Jazz. I wish he either had a visor or that creepy ass stare like the artwork. Dat stare! :shock:

Texas is the closest reported state. I have my 4 deluxes from BBTS coming in a day or so.

Spotted a couple funsies at the KMart in New Iberia.

Fist is the never seen at retail Motormaster.

Second is a price drop on RID 2015 Warrior Class figured.

Yeah I know, I need a new phone. Argh it refuses to take in focus pictures except for outside.

Both Target on Millerville and Seigen are dry, except for megatron's ironically. Go figure, this means I'll probably never see UM at retail... Also, Both BTR Target's and TRU have drastically reduced their TF shelf space in favor for Jurassic World toys... Just two-4 pegs total for deluxe figures.

How did I not catch that typo?

Nice haul CB! I've got a growing pile of loot with them myself, nothing noteworthy.

I'm excited for Defensor. He and Devy were the combiners that I had as a kid.

When are you expecting Hot Spot?

As soon as one of the online vendors gets them in or I stumble across one in the stores. :grin:

Ooooh! That sounds like a fun pool. My money is on the online vendors.

The way it has been going lately I am inclined to agree. Especially with the TF downsizing. They really need to get rid of all the TF4 stuff.

I'm looking for a motormaster figure (mine has a weak knee and can barely stand as menasor). Has there been any sighting of him besides the one in New Iberia?

That's the only one I've ever seen at retail. I would rule out BR and anywhere near by. CB has seen some in what I would assume would be N.O. and surrounding area.

That would be one hellava savenger hunt.

The last time I saw him was at the Clearview Target, this was over a month ago.. I have seen him at the Kmart you mentioned, Clearview, slidell and Westbank Targets and Wal Mart on Clearview.

Nick, have you tried talking it apart and painting the knee with clear avryllic? That solves every loose joint problem I've encountered.

by **mazingaspidey** » Mon May 18, 2015 1:18 pm

Picked up a legends Warpath from Seigen Target. No other legends spotted, so not sure if they were snatched up, or just not put out. Nothing at TRU or Burbank Wal Mart I'll check Mville on my way home tonight.

Hey fellers, anyone looking for a gigantic 3 step Bee?

TRU BTR is the place.

Yup, I'm doing the Siegen lane shuffle!

Anyone need a CW Silverbolt or OP on the chea?

WM had both marked down to $15 on a cart in the ally going towards electronics.

And yes spidey, I picked up an OP ;-)
