With most of the upcoming X-men anniversary sets & individuals starting to trickle out early, can we assume the Target Storm/Thunderbird set will be on its way soon, too?

It's the only one I wasn't able to get a hold of at pre-order, and I MUST have this set.

Let people grieve in their own way. Wondering about the fate of BP2 is not them being disrespectful, it's their way of grieving. Just because someone doesn't process death the same way you do does not mean you should be nasty to them. Some people are asking about BP2 because their way of grieving is connecting him to the media he inspired them through. They are just as heart broken as you.

The light on your Zordon looks so much better than the ones I've seen in reviews

I dunno, I just personally think it's in poor taste. The man's not even been laid to rest yet and people are already trying to think of who could fill his job? I'd feel pretty crappy if I knew my job was trying to line up a replacement hours after my death (they'd have to eventually, but just give a day at the least!) Again, just my opinion.

Quick note on the sudden, tragic, and unsettling death of Chadwick Boseman. As another poster mentioned, I'm generally not one to confer a great deal of meaning to the passing of public personalities with whom I've no personal knowledge or interaction. However, I do appreciate the cinematic legacy this wonderful human being has left and am taking a moment to memorialize/venerate/acknowledge his passing and my sadness as a result.

The body of Boseman's work is really pretty impressive and more poignant than some might realize on first blush, especially given the brevity with which his light shined. The bulk of Boseman's impact will likely be attributed to Black Panther and the cultural 'importance' some attribute to this role. Personally, I believe this to be just a tad overblown, but only because I've been an advocate and proponent of Pan-African inter-connectivity since I learned about the concept when reading about luminaries like Du Bois and Garvey as a preteen - coupled with the reality that the character of BP, despite my love for it, represents a fictionally idealized construct neither owned, controlled, nor consistently influenced by the diaspora it's meant to target thus offering little in the way of sustained/actual empowerment. However, in spite of my opinions, I understand the importance of this flick to many and don't mean to diminish that in any way. However, that said, this man was thoughtful and deliberate in ALL of his roles choosing to portray a litany of important culture figures and participate in weighty conceptual theatrical works all throughout his career. Whether he was putting in that WORK on autobiographical efforts for individuals like Thurgood Marshal, Jackie Robinson, or James Brown. Or, if he was portraying fantastical characters like BP and Thoth; Chadwick was steadfast in delivering/introducing audiences to ideas outside the purview of mainstream cinema and for that, I will sorely miss him.

In an age in which societies worldwide have grown more intolerant to expressions and cultures different from their own, I hope people can remember how Chadwick Boseman may have touched them with is innate grace, regal nature, and ultimately humble bearing. We all have qualities that resonate within others and I hope in mourning Chadwick's passing we can remember the ties that bind are more important than the bullshit that separates...

My Dom came yesterday but i haven't had time to mess around with her yet. She is my most wanted figure of the year thus far and I'm so glad she's finally in the collection. Keep up the good work my man.

FYI - Check your DMs, I just hit you up...

Well said! And put into much more eloquent words than any of us would probably use

[ThorOdinson123]

welp somehow Shartimus Prime got a hold of the Deadpool/Negasonic two pack and uploaded a review of them. That annoys me cause I gotta wait till November to get it and I want DP really badly. really excited for movie deadpool.

If it's anything like the search for Target's exclusive GiJoe Baroness set, happy definitely won't describe the hunt.

I'm using popfindr to check for Storm/Thunderbird. The item number is 79659824. I got my Baroness and Cobra Troopers that way. I usually check around 6 a.m. to see what is updated for the day. I got all the Joes I wanted, so that 2-pack is all that I am waiting to find at Target.

Thank you for all that detailed info! It is really going to help in about a month. Like many, I haven't really been into many stores that weren't for groceries, pet food or at Walgreens, since February. But I'll be going out to find this pack. Again, like many others, it's the one set that I wasn't able to secure a preorder for. Wishing everyone some luck in this mad, tragic year.

I care. This question is aimed at Marvel. Has nothing to do with Chadwicks Family.

[hasbroherofan]

I'm always lucky since the Targets near me are usually really good with exclusives. Red Hulk was the only one I remember being hard to find.

Thanks for the item number for the Storm set! Hadn't come across it, yet!

Oh yeah, I love popfindr. Been using it for quite awhile now. Phenomenal how accurate it truly is. Reminds me of GameStop's old inventory tracker before they nerfed it. My issue with the Baroness exclusive was more about both of my Target stores only getting one set per store. Never had a chance. I'm about a hour and a half away from my local Targets and both sold out far before I was even off from work.

I've never really had an issue with Target exclusives in the past. Generally, they were always so overstocked that they were easier to find than the standard line. Recently for me, that's been flipped on its head.

I'm a bit worried about Target this time, in the past I've always managed to order for pick up exclusives the morning of release, but I don't know how it's going to go with the scalper bots

How do you search for item numbers on popfindr? I only know how to use it via DCPI.

Imma get yo ass a google for xmas.

The gift that keeps giving

[ariellagunas]

Thank you, Blue Marvel, for your thoughtful comments on Chadwick Boseman.
I also, didn't know the man, but I've been rather upset since I find out, and didn't know how to comment on his passing.
All I know is that he was a talented, charismatic, and kind actor, and he has become an icon for a generation. His interpretation of Black Panther on the screen has been an inspiration for black kids (and kids in general, I've bought so many BP figures for all my friends kids ).
The other reason it upsets me is his youth. Cancer is a horrible illness, but it's devastating when it affects so early in life. My grandfather also died young from it, so I get check every year, in case it's genetic, like other illnesses seem to be. I wonder if we'll see more people having regular checks because of this. I hope so.
My sympathies to his family and friends. I surely won't forget him in a hurry and will watch his movies for years to come.
Rest in peace King.

Nevermind.

Check Google. This is a discussion forum, not a question and answer forum. The Q&A portion of our program will take place after the discussion is complete.

You do know you don't have to answer a question that is asked, right? Hell, you didn't have to respond at all.

Instead, you have now spent two posts over the question because the entitled stick up your ass couldn't resist being a dick when you could have just answered the question and received a "Thank you" as a response, but because the internet lets you be a dick, you decided to be a dick.

For someone who doesn't care about questions being asked, you sure seem intent to argue such a trivial matter.
