Moe than likely some 3rd party seller will just scoop them up and then raise the price to $30 because they're now OOS! lol
This is what always seems to happen with exclusive items that go to deep sales or clearance.

I'd like to have played the waiting game with Silverstreak to save a few on such a repaint but couldn't take that chance due to the fiasco with CliffJumper never being stocked or the trouble I had getting Origins Bee or the fact I never once saw Thrust.

I'm still playing the waiting game with toy-colors Terrorsaur and Dinobot. The former I'll probably flinch and pay full price for once his pegs start thinning, due to his historic lack of updates, but another voyager Dinobot I'm not buying without a discount anyway; already bought a batch of rainbow KOs of that mold.

All the reviews I checked indicated that the Tracks mold was only so-so, and I skipped it. While $12-ish is a great deal (in the current inflation explosion), I still think I'll pass...

Does anyone have the back neck piece for T-Wrecks? I received it second-hand and it is the only piece missing on my copy (which can be blamed due to it not being pinned a la the early copies of Studio Series Classic Camaro Bumblebee)

Kinda nuts how my favorite Titan and the best quality Titan came out in back to back years

I had the pain in the ass privilege of transforming Rodimus Prime into alt mode and it was enough for me not to do it again anytime soon! #-o

He is rather complicated, and the one torso joint tends to be awkward, but I still ultimately enjoy transforming him.

Speaking of Roddy, look what his camper can fit if you take the cannon emplacement out.

Just to be clear, that's Generations Wheeljack from 2011 in the above, not Earthrise.

Blaster arrived today, been enjoying him thus far. Happy about his size.

Don't mind them, they're just blasting some tunes.

Did you find plenty of all waves of the voyager class figures from the Kingdom line? I ask because it looks like there is a bunch that never made it to retail and now Ollie's has them. The ad below shows Primal, Cyclonus and Rhinox. While the deal is not jaw dropping, this can be a chance for people who missed out on these to get them, and at a good price too. We thank xrotorstormx for letting us know of this.

I reported Rhinox and Cyclonus showing up there 2 months ago in the Michigan sightings thread, and it's been just Rhinox since then.

The fliers in the aisle at my Ollie'ses all just showed Dinobot, which may as well be telling their customers to try Target instead. My guess is you're as likely to find RTS Windcharger at your local 5 Below as find Primal at Ollie's, but today's the last day for their coupon, so I'll check anyway.

All the Ollie's around ne have had cyclonus and rhinox since last Xmas. Nothing new. Never the dinobot they pictured. Doibt they'll ever have primal.

Yeah, we knew of those but someone sent us this new flyer of theirs so I was hoping for you guys it meant Primal would be there too.

Mon Nov 21, 2022 8:12 am

Ours had Rhinox and Tigatron and that was it. I got there about 2 weeks after the flyer though so the rest may have sold already.

I love his transformation. No pain int he ass at al.

Is it involved, yes. It's frankly quite involved, but overall I find it satisfying. Unless you have no idea what you are doing, then I can see it can be a bit confusing and overwhelming. But once you get the hand of it, it's a fairly interesting and logical process.

I was checking a few Walgreens near me in hope of finding Legacy Minerva. Instead I found Kingdom wave 4 AND Red Alert.

So, I guess we check next Christmas for Minerva? :HEADHURTS:

It kinda makes you miss that clone two-pack, eh?

Seriously though, I've heard almost a million different reasons as to how Walgreens stocks its items, especially exclusives.

I had a similar experience with finding Earthrise figures at Walgreens about 9 months after Earthrise came off the shelves everywhere else. Bluestreak, Allicon, Airwave, and Arcee were all available for $19.99 at one of my local Walgreens.
Based on that, I'd say yeah, you're likely to find Minerva many months after the fact!

T-Wrecks VS Nemesis Primal. A perfect rivalry!

Now that I have finally been able to free him, I give you, the upgraded CW Magnaboss using the Kingdom Skywarp

Pretty cool. I have Magnaboss as well, although I have it with the con exclusives Tigatron and Unit 3. If adding Skywarp would work under any circumstance I'll go for it.

I ended up getting Tigatron, but he is on a separate combiner where I like him more. I never got Unit 3, and might not end up getting it since he is super expensive.
