I just hope that whatever they do with Retro Mindbender, they fix that damn bleeding cape.

I regret not just selling my MM CC. I just couldn't resist and ended up opening him, even though I fully expected a repaint coming out to retail. Oh well. If anything, if the blues match the retro, I will mix and match to get my ultimate CC and the leftover, I'll put on the Supreme CC cape on him.

I only wish they used the Supreme CC pistol for the retro CC as it looked better to me than that stubby thing they give us. The Supreme one actually fit too, I just didn't like that it was gold.

Thats what i was wondering , i get it certain waves showed up @ ross/ollies etc , but what about sgt slaughter he was a fan channel right not just a pulse sale ,so who got rid of those and let ollies sell them for $5.99 or whatever i paid for the one i found .

Also i got 2 mindbenders originally same preorder time/day and one had a problem the other was fine called hasbro they sent me another and told me to keep the other & donate it or throw it away

I'm pumped for Star Duster. I don't care he's a repaint because he always was. Sometimes an homage is okay in my books. Glad they at least gave him a new head. I think he looks really great and the colors really pop at this scale. I figure he'll be pretty easy to get but the boards will be far more interesting if he isn't... lol

Though Amazon is probably on the hook for a bit of that, Pulse definitely did a warehouse dump. There were Pulse exclusives like Fortnite SE, that hand't been released to retailers, and showed up at Ollie's. And I seem to remember a Tanker (wehrmanm?) posting about the quarterly report mentioning sitting on unsold product. But Izzy was talking about Target and Walmart, both of which only have their insufferable distribution issues - add website issues to Walmart's - (when it comes to collectibles/toys) to blame.

OAMCC is back up for pre-order again FYI.

Thanks JJ! Hmm, keeps saying something is wrong and won't let me add him to my cart.

**UPDATE**

Tried for a few minutes...wouldn't let me add it. Then the site signed me out and by the time I got back on he was gone.

Wonder if it was just a glitch?

That is some truth right there , wally/targets distribution is terrible . One thing ive never had any cancellations by wally for anything , target @ least 5 on my credit card that is dedicated only for online toy/figures/paint/supplies etc and i know the limit and its not ever been close ..
