Lol, yes. I didn't want any attention when taking the photo because I knew some of the items I had were not released yet. I just moved to the side.

Do you or any of you guys know anything about that?

i remember trying to buy a star wars figure a few years back at a walmart, but they took it away from me cuz it wasn't supposed to be out yet. not our faults their employees screw up something like that all the time lol

Yup...I've had this happen to me before at Walmart, Target and Best Buy. Sometimes you get away with it and other times you won't. It's common because some employees don't know the difference between the unreleased figures from the rest. It's not until you get to the register that they discover the mistake.

Maybe if Wal-Mart let its employees unionize they'd know when to stock toys properly.

TimothyR · 11-01-2015, 10:57 PM

i think the stocking of figures and delays and distribution problems fall more on a bad system than the people who actually stock the shelves. sure, some of them don't really care about their jobs. but i think the system as a whole could be better.

thank goodness for the internet.

You can't call yourself a true Super Saiyan if you don't have the complete set of Funko Pops' Dragon Ball Z!!!

I'm just saiyan...

They looked legit but the arms/legs are a little loose and Prime has 2 left hands so I'm thinking not so much. The set was $20.

I live in Shanghai and picked it up at a little shop in an area of the city that has several toy/figure shops all within a couple blocks. Here is the guy's shop that I bought it off of, it was like a hoarders house as you can't get more than 2 steps into the door.

4 will be out tomorrow:
Darth Maul
Spot
Ultron
Hulkbuster IronMan

I plan to get the 3 characters I know.

Couldn't wait, had to take Blackarachnia out of her box first!

Phantomcrow · 11-02-2015, 11:58 PM

I have Blackarachnia in my BBTS Pile o Loot. I am on the fence about Slipstream. She looks nice. The BA I had to get to go with Waspinator and the other BW figures I still have.

Transmetal Tarantulus and Blackarachnia were my favorite characters of the show and I am glad to have a proper BA.

Thank you for your PM my friend (you know who you are). I was making a fool of myself! I posted the photo without the holy grail of this DBZ toyline and I called myself a Super Saiyan, Lol.

Here it goes!!!

Brownfinger · 11-03-2015, 07:10 AM

The odd pose I have her in does her no favors, but Blackarachnia is a pretty nice figure.

I picked up the Takara fembots as well, but I might get rid of BA since I got rid of my other Generations BW figures...although I guess I could always get them since they're still available and probably cheaper maybe. If not I might just get rid of her..

Dang that's crazy surprise you found those in there haha...Yeah then it's most likely a KO. Those are usually a 100 USD.

3233rafael · 11-03-2015, 11:05 AM

Picked up Ultron & Darth Maul too. For some reason I'm having a hard time uploading pics here.

Kirathis · 11-03-2015, 02:38 PM

AGH Dammit! I'm basically entirely out of Transformers and then they keep making more from BW that I want! Curse you Hasbro! That Blackarachnia looks awesome!!!

I was thinking the EXACT same thing...i used to love Beast Wars....
but I CANNOT get sucked back into this line...or TF period..
I think i've purchased ONE TF in the last 5 years..

A Friend · 11-03-2015, 03:22 PM

At first I wasn't particularly considered about this set but when I found out it was down from £39.99 to £29.99 earlier today, I couldn't resist picking this up from my local Argos.

Haha same thing. I've been trying to stay away from BW, and with the latest Generations they released of Waspinator, Rat Trap and Rhinox, I did like them but got rid of them. Can't do it :P Need to just concentrate on only certain lines of TF's.

Just curious, as far as Slipstream goes, did they fix any of the QC issues from the Windblade mold? I know many people had issues with her not transforming properly because of improperly molded pegs that didn't fit properly on her legs and feet, and mine was no different.
