I never heard of that red-back option. I got hooded CC, Sarge and Fridge via the regular mail order route, but I think that was it. Well, maybe that goofy Super Trooper too, or maybe my cousin had him. I can’t remember.
Yeah, I honestly don’t remember having any NF either and I have no explanation for BF2000. That made zero sense. I suppose there was a push for toys that linked together to make something bigger. I believe TF was pushing some of that around that time, and of course there was Voltron. But BF2K...
Agreed. The ’toon was all about showcasing the new hotness, even sometimes messing that up with unproduced characters like “Sparks” and “Big Lob.” It was there to sell those toys. Any actual story worth watching was more of a bonus.
The gimmicks definitely didn’t serve any real world purpose...
I agree on the part for part replacement argument and that ‘85 absolutely brought some of the best and most iconic characters or versions. I guess though, for me, it was more of “having another” versus just replacement. Sometimes you needed more than one of some speciality or you needed a worthy...
Crazy that you ended up with Sarge and I decided to pass. I wouldn’t have seen that one coming! 😆
As for the SW Black figs, I’d probably do the same. The only one I have is the Mandalorean. He looked so cool in the pics, but when he showed up, he was pretty underwhelming. I think it’s the size...
Lol, yeah. Skidmark has to take that title. There are plenty of lame and highly outdated code names, particularly from later in the run, but that one can’t escape the 10 year old mind we all still have in there somewhere. You’ll have to determine your character’s role and see what presents...
The whole TF Outback Target fiasco is just weird. You'd think they'd have tons around now that they cancelled so many orders, yet it's always out of stock and not showing up in the stores in any numbers. There aren't even very many up on ebay or mercari. Very odd. You might keep that unicorn in...
Yeah, Serpy was an easy pass for me. Putting snake fangs directly in front of his eyes is hardly practical or tactical. And there‘s just something off with the figure. I can’t fully put my finger on it, but I just never had any interest from the reveal. I had him back in the day where his helmet...
So I found myself in proximity to a large Target and a Super Walmart done in Lynchburg today. I figured I’d check for the elusive TF Outback since there have been reports that they have been getting spotted occasionally. No luck in the OB, but I did see about a half dozen peg warming Gung Hos. I...
I'm still torn on which one I'd prefer. It'll probably come down to which one I can get first for retail price or better. This will likely be true for Recondo and Bazooka as well.
I saw a video today that claimed that some of the TF Outbacks have started to show up at Targets in the US. I probably won't be able to keep myself from checking if I find myself in close proximity to one. But that is a whole lot less often now that my son drives himself to his job at Hobby...
As much as I appreciated the grey haired version, classic Outback it is. My wife ordered something else on Amazon today so I used that free shipping to make my pre-order. I'll have to wait until April for him and Cover Girl according to the current estimate, but whatever, that seems to be the...
That's why I'm in no hurry to pre-order the regular version. I'll probably still go with whatever presents itself first, but only with Target if it comes with free shipping (which of course was nullified when they cancelled my order - at least I got the RB I ordered along with it shipped for...
Don't go anywhere you can't sign in to approve within a couple days...
I would have thought a bunch would have become available with cancellations once the original version became known, but they are "sold out," at least here in the states (Target exclusive of course). Apparently they are...
I guess I won't be getting grey haired Outback after all. While I was gone, outside the US where they wouldn't log me in, stupid Target cancelled my order. And they are completely out of stock now apparently. I am truly to the point where I doubt I'll follow through with any of the other...
So I got another message from Target saying that the delivery on my merchandise (presumably Outback because I never buy anything but Joe Class exclusives from them) has been changed (most likely delayed) and that I have to verify that. Well, apparently Target doesn’t allow logins from where I...
