Nice, I'm not going for either, but good for those who are.

Now, where is that Red Cog listing...

Just picked up a Red Cog yesterday (even this aint the thread for that).

If you haven't found the 4 pk yet, don't give up hope...
My Target had 6 sets yesterday.
Those, as well as multiples of Terrorsaur and Dinobot.
So these were available even though there is no shelf space or tags for Motormaster or Metroplex.

And as others have said, $76-ish is an incredibly great price for 4 deluxe figures.

The problem is being able to check if their in stock, can't get the UPC to work on popfinder or Brickseek, and Targets are too far away to just stop in on a whim.

Secured the 4-pack thanks to a buddy. The set is pretty neat, and a good price too.

Goldbug is a pretty gold. First time with the VW version of the mold. I wish there was a tab on the roof of the car for the weapons, but it's fine, first time I've used the weapons in ski configuration in the car mode of any version of this mold.

Ransack is OK. I like the robot mode, and the wings are cool, but the transformation and bug mode are very bland, so bland they might as well not be there. FOC did Kickback better still. But as Ransack, he is neat enough. I use the Kickback head for him.

Skywasp is really cool, especially with the colors. I use the bug head for him right now.

Scorponok is also pretty neat. I like his colors a good bit. I think this will be my Maximal Rhinox-buddy Scorponok from the IDW comics. I use the mutant head for him.

Awesome, no more worrying about finding it in store! Red Cog is also up, can't give a link because I used the app. What a relief!

I found the 4-pack in my Target today, but I didn't get it. I really only want Goldbug and maybe Ransack, and Scorponok might be a long shot. The other figure means nothing to me. It might be a good chance I can sell them on eBay and make my money back.

Goldbug looked actually yellow, much brighter than Netflix Bee. If I do get the set, I'm switching Goldie's and Bee's heads.

If I find the pack, that's what I'll do as well. I'll also keep the Scorponok with his "toy head" (no more monkey-face) and sell off all the rest on eBay.

I should be getting my four-pack in the next couple days. I'm really excited for it, just like I was for the last one, even though there are only two guys that I really want, again. This means I'll have four extra beasties, but too many toys is a better problem than its opposite.

If anyone picking up the Creatures Collide set doesn’t need the extra Ransack head, the one that looks like Kickback’s head in G1 toy colors, would they please PM me? I need a couple more of them for a little project of mine.

Tue Aug 02, 2022 1:12 pm

Thanks for the link! Ordered immediately to secure I get one plus I had a $20 gift card so it worked out great as I only want Goldbug.

I'll probably pass on the head swap I don't want to chance any breakage on such a high priced item.

CC set and Red Cog now have an ETA of Wednesday or Thursday for myself...
Glad i don't have to hunt for it anymore.

Picked up the creature set along with Cliffjumper. I hope swapping the heads on Bee and Bug won't be difficult. I also have a Generations Bee from the WFC game, which has a nice yellow G1 head. I might swap that. Anyone interested in only Goldbug's blue head, let me know. I mainly wanted the yellow body.

If I can't get an entire Goldbug, I'd slap the head on a Bumblebee.

The video game 'Bee head is going to be ridiculously big. The colors, once you see it in hand, will probably make you think twice about doing that.

Yeah I had that Bee in my hand yesterday and I realized I forgot how much larger deluxes were 10 years ago. He's almost a voyager now. So I'll have to figure out something else. I get a little crazy about customizing.

In-store or online?

The downside to the boxes having those little holes in the top: The head came off my Scorponok in shipping and was bouncing around in the shipping box. There's nothing stopping them from falling out before they hit the shelf either. Scorpy's head in particular takes little effort to slide off. Also there was a big cut going through the tissue paper used to hold all the accessories and the flat part to Goldbug's gun fell out of the box when I opened it. And yes, this was an unopened box from Target.com.

Wow, there's still a chance I'll see a Cliffjumper at some point.

Of all of them, in my area at least, he's by far the rarest one to find.
