Thar’s odd because I keep getting emails to approve a delay for TF Outback. He’s showing on backorder for me, the others pending release date.

Same....but also, the order has the wrong address and they wont let me update it.

I grabbed a few things on clearance from Target tonight: the Bill Burr Star Wars figure, a Fortnite 5pack (Molten something, Ice King, red Ultra Knight), and then a Jurassic Park Gallimimus for Spectre.

It was a good and bad day - had all these goodies show up at once from Amazon & BBTS:

But then got an email from Target saying they canceled my TF Outback, but don't worry, I could re-order and of course it was sold out online, the f*&%ers. :rant:

Target did the exact same thing to me with Outback

Same here; approved 2 delays already.
The others keep going from pre-order to sold out and back. If they were taking money, I'd think it was a scam.

Otherwise, I spotted these at Ross:

Wanted the 12" Batman in the stupid windowless box, but the line was too long and time was too short. He was $15, Fortnite was $5, Dino Escape was $25 (which is funny because later I saw the same set at Tuesday Morning for $40).

Was at Disneyland and California Adventure yesterday so I picked up a couple things. Nothing Joe-related but still kinda cool.

At the House of Mouse I picked up the SWB Creature set. I already had this from a preorder on shop.Disney but my blue monkey lizards arm kinda tore at the shoulder from a stuck joint. I was fine with it but Disney gave Passholders an additional 10% off for a few weeks so at 30% off I got a second set. Its all critters so doubles just make for more background fodder (and broken blue monkey lizard may end up roasted on a spit).

Across the quad at DCA I spotted the Marvel Legends Guardians of the Galaxy 5-pack with repacks of Quill (short jacket), Gamora (jacket), Rocket and Drax (blue suit, pants) and Groot, potted Groot and GotG Vol 2 baby Groot. The $129.95 price tag was not worth the buy, but again 30% off and I now have the Guardians for the shelf.

My Amazon order of 3 of the 4” Halo ODST and Drop Pod set arrived a couple days early. I also have the older McFarlane ODST and Drop Pod and while that pod has much more detail (larger scale) this 4” version is still very nice. The pop off canopy feature is lame and difficult to understand due to the poor instructions included. But that does not affect the playability much at all. And the ODST figure is the best I’ve gotten from this line. Sculpting, paint, articulation, quality are all there. The hands need trigger fingers but other than that no complaints. If this drops in price I’d be down for a few more.

I got my Megatron HISS today, along with a custom figure (made for a custom swap), and a POC Zartan for a project

I haven't opened the HISS yet but will do a video review of it tomorrow

Got the Avatar Colonel Quaritch figure. The wrists and ankles are a little loose, but overall this is a really nice figure. Never in a million years would I be thinking McFarlane would do a great job incorporating articulation and yet here we are.

Just saw it at Target and was excited until I noticed the $25 price tag. At least pack in some meatier accessories if you're charging the same price as the 7" figs.

Found Kenner Wolverine and Venom. The prices on these is getting ridiculous.

I got the SW TVC Phase 1 Clonetrooper sets from Pulse. These use the nice clone body but unfortunately the newer figures are built on a new smaller body. So they don’t mix well. Its okay though. These are background filler.

Also got the new “Spaghetti Six” wave of Dime Novel Legends. This is the wave with the bigger coats and they turned out nice.

Oh right, the "Retro" figures.

I have not seen that Green Fortnite Whiplash Vehicle at any of my local (Northern NJ) GameStops.
