Agree that it would be a no go for a large collection...15 bucks to display 3-4 figures is not so great if you have to buy a few dozen. If like me you are just thinning out your cabinets it's a decent approach.

It is nice for the grail figures or doing them by sub teams. I ordered another style on Amazon and I am waiting to use it before offering it to others.

There's been a lot of discussion on TFW about that lol. What stings even more is that the dead Ratchet & Ironhide have the missing stripes that the SS86 versions don't have. And both of the SS86 versions of those were priced at voyager class(I love those characters but those figs aren't worth voyager money), and they have clear plastic windows where SS86 Brawn has the new opaque windows that are painted. And they decided to release a dead Prowl before any normal ones when his last release was the Earthrise mold.

Boys, I'm so freaking pumped. I debated even going to target today, knowing the history of failed attempts. But my wife convinced me, saying I'd be more disappointed not knowing. So I man up and make the trip after 4pm. Sure enough, nothing on the shelves, but there is a girl stocking inventory in the next isle. So I politely describe my issue. Exclusive release. Only in target today. Can't order online. She says she'll look it up, and even though she is mildly illiterate, and can't spell GI Joe, let alone wreckage. I managed to walk her through it, and sure enough, the figure shows in stock. She goes to look and im positive she'll come back and say there is nothing in the back. It's almost 5pm by now. Figured they would have been pilfered first thing that morning. Stolen, hidden, or in someone's cart. But no, she brings out my grail. I can't believe how lucky I was today. I never find anything at the store. Someone had to be hiding that in back for themselves.

If anyone is looking for a pretty cheap display option it may be worth checking out the following...
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CSV...sin_title&th=1 I put a few up and they aren't perfect (no lighting, can't put anything with a substantial back pack in,etc.) but they are pretty inexpensive. |

A couple years ago I was looking for a Target exclusive TVC vehicle and the inventory said none in stock, then they had 6 when I went. It was also during the buy one toy get one half off sale that they haven't done since so got a really good deal on them. |

Same, mine still shows back ordered and nothing at my Target today. All three items I had left from preorders are listed as backordered.
Some street dated today and others for this week originally. Then see others posting found in store. I still insist, pre-orders should be fulfilled and ship before showing in store, or at least the same day. |

So we're definitely getting Tiger Force Jinx right? With the Battlecat colorway? Like the FSS figure and 2002 TRU set?
