Well this blows, 5 Targets now show on popfindr as having 1 Storm/Thunderbird pack each and none of them actually physically have it. One store even said if they had it they wouldn't be able to sell it until Oct 4th. It's just so weird that they all say only 1 though.

Street Date 10/4. Calm down.

Now I know people generally ignore what I write because it uniformly exceeds the 280 character limit for internet tolerance, but the initial post was succinct and in keeping with thread desires/rules....I'm surprised y'all missed it. I thought brevity was the key...

And someone else asked what the figure was after the op, talk about generally ignoring what gets posted.

I know the Hellfire Club set says it's not shipping until the end of March, the charge on my hasn't dropped off, and usually pre-orders from pulse drop off by now.

Um... am I not calm? Because clearly you know something I don't through a computer screen.

Anyway, what worries me is how each store has only 1 despite them coming in cases of 2. That means they already sold 1 of each to someone, which is what makes no sense, especially the street date comment one Target did. If they only have 1, it means they aren't actually street dated.

You know I'm joking, or you should, at least...

...also, I ignore a lot of what goes on here as a rule.

That is fair. There are times I feel like Robert Duvall in Gone In 60 Seconds

Sometimes, Target only ships out partial cases. I remember this being the case when Red Hulk initially came out where some stores were only getting 1 or 2 instead of 3.

This may have been mentioned already and I missed it, but it looks like the Marvel part of today's stream will be from 3:25 to 4:45 EST. noting it says subject to change. That's good, I took the day off for theraputic reasons so I have some time for a workout.

That just seems so odd to only ship 1 figure across multiple stores. No wonder no one can ever find their exclusives and the fact that Hasbro is okay with this makes it even more frustrating.

They might not be. Rumor is with the GI Joe Cobra Island figures, Hasbro wasn't happy with Target's handling of the line and that wave is being more or less discontinued there, likely so Hasbro can re-release or redeco them for the main line or for some sort of fan channel exclusive.

Depending on how much of a shitshow October 4th ends up being, I can see Hasbro doing the same thing here.

I hope that won't be necessary, but if it ends up being so, I really hope they do it. FA Storm is one of the most (overall, I know some don't care) anticipated releases in YEARS, and if it's a screw up it's going to be a major screw up.

Almost there ya'll I can't wait for a half dozen Deadpool figures that WON"T be Dead Man Wade, Bald Electra, Triathalon, an updated Sentry and ForgetMeNot.


This...is off to a bad, cringy start (no figure reveals yet, just talking Deadpool and the team going through hate tweets etc)

[Ultra Seven]

Holy SHIT this is class-a shade they’re throwing at Twitter trolls. They’re having the Deadpool head respond to mean Twitter comments. As an aside, I may have to buy a Deadpool head, I’m cracking up.

... I am such a square.

[Captain Nash]

There's a Krakoa behind jesse Falcon. BAF for HOX I'm betting.

Or is it Tendril from Inhumanoids? I'm not sure now.

NM. it's Tendril. He's next to other Inhumanoid figures. Carry on!

[hasbroherofan]

Hints at AOU Quicksilver.

[Veronica Mars]

Off topic, I just got off work, did anyone catch the price of the Forgotten Realms box set?

[Captain Nash]

I really feel bad for the video game players. First two game reveals are alternate Iron Man and Captain America o-O

[hasbroherofan]

Comic Falocn confirmed.

[Ultra Seven]

Man, modern Falcon? Darn, I was hoping for classic with Redwing.

[Veronica Mars]

Finally

[hasbroherofan]

Kang.

[Ultra Seven]

Ooh, Kang the Conqueror. Sweet. I was thinking Tigra, but having just reread the sixties Avengers stuff... yippee! Wow, he looks excellent. Thunderstrike is a solid looking figure, I just am not a huge fan of the costume/ character. Jocasta?! Way out of left field, but so welcome! I’m so excited for seventies Avengers love!

[Veronica Mars]

I hope thunderstrike has an alt head

[Boy Blunder]

I don't think anybody guessed Jocasta.

[hasbroherofan]

[Captain Nash]

Wow Jocasta, I'll pass myself but I know's been highly requested.

Oh thank God. the BAF is Joe Fixit. I can pass on all but Falcon and Kang.
