Just by way of clarity, which forum should online stocking and sightings be posted? In this one, or in the online sightings/available one? They're both kind of the same. Should one be consolidated into the other to avoid confusion...?

Thee is no difference, its just a subline which reminds people that these guys have fists which can hold 5mm weapons, which is what the minicon weapons turn into.
It just means "and remember kids, hey can also hold weapons in their hands... each sold seperately"

I dont know which other one you are reffering to. Is another thread being used recently for the same purpose? Give me a link and I will check it out.

Looking back through that thread, it looks like someone asked you to 'retire' that thread a while ago. So maybe it ain't the place for post in'.
I've been posting online sightings there, including Wreck-Gar, which turned up last Saturday, and Onslaught, who was there last Friday (and still is)... Still no sign of Sky Lynx

Interesting, I look on there every couple days, sometimes once daily, but last night was the first time I saw Wreckgar. I didn't post about Onslaught since my local stores have three or four each.

I checked either last Friday or Saturday and spotted Onslaught. I know he's turning up in stores now (finally), but for the benefit of those who still can't find him... HTS with free shipping is still as decent a bargain as you might find. And better than Amazon, probably... As to Wreck-gar, I'm sure it was either Sunday or Monday that my minions spotted him on HTS. They check the numbers of CW figures. One day it was 36 - then 37. So they wondered, what's the 37th one?

I'll find out more Monday; but I was under the impression BBTS should be shipping mine out (versus Pre-Order) that said... kinda wish I went with Target.... That's what I get for working Graveyards and jumping the gun. I am curious if these will be in stores tho.

Same. There have been reports of people finding them with photos to prove and I've been checking but no luck so far. Doesn't seem like an item that would be in stores but if that $200 Star Wars tie fighter can be sold in stores why not this I suppose.

Were there any in store sightings in the states though?

I thought someone mentioned spotting some in WA/Northern CA at one point.... but when i provided the (albe it Canadian) for Toys R Us and Target's DCPI.... got no hits.

Because tie fighters have a real fan base.
Posted by SpikeyTigertron on May 16th, 2016 @ 11:18am CDT
but ouch, shots fired with the tie fighters... TBH, they want too much and it strikes me as WAY too big (unless there's some voodoo with the packaging).
Back on topic. BBTS processed my order, so I guess they sold out of the initial stock.
I still think she'll look good in a display with (the Takara) Windblade

Not going to argue that, Victorion is a totally new character, the only reason a parent would buy it for a kid is because they might think it looks cool. Thats a chance most stores wont take. A Tie Fighter has much better odds of being recognized, wanted and aquired.
Posted by SpikeyTigertron on May 16th, 2016 @ 12:38pm CDT
Other than LEGO or video games (which seem to always get a pass) general retail stuff that ends up at or north of $100 seems to shelf-warm unless it's Christmas Time.
I think what bothers me about stores not stocking Vicky (though again, I can understand why) is some kids who might truly enjoy her, won't even know she exists.
Off-topic. I'd have expected Rey's Speeder in a Starwars Black Vehicle line over a Tie-Fighter (size/cost-wise). But that's another completely different conversation to have (on another forum?).
also colors are breaking on the webpage, but not in the forums proper... strange.

Yeah, definitely thanks for the HTS heads up. I ordered and it shipped out this morning. Looking forward to it.

My guess is that HTS is waiting for the MAYMAYHEM 15% off code to expire today before they release him on their site. But even then, regular retail is much better than the inflated prices on BBTS.

It's insurance. I am willing to pay that price for this figure, due to it's limited availability. If he shows up on Amazon for cheaper, I'll get him there. But, I no longer have the ability to hang out on the Internet hitting refresh until the figure becomes available. Perhaps Groove will be available well after this weekend, like Quickslinger and Brake Neck last year. But I don't want to risk it. This is a reason I am okay paying a bit more with a retailer like BBTS.
It's all capitalism. I find it a bit harsh that BBTS is considered a scalper. If people are willing to pay the price, we do. If not, then the choice to wait on HTS or Amazon is very valid too. Capitalism!

Well said! Plus it's BBTS, you can always cancel your order if you can get it from HTS at retail when it goes up, better safe then sorry.

It might as well have been minutes for those of us who were already in bed when the preorder went live and didn't see it until 5:30 this morning.

That may be the saddest thing of all. If HTS waits until their May Mayhem coupon expires to release their May Mayhem figures, that's just disappointing. Almost as bad as putting up Christmas lights in August, but taking them down Christmas Eve.

Since this isn't one of HTS's regular items, the code wouldn't work on it anyway. The same thing happens any time they have a coupon code and a leftover con-exclusive item at the same time. They're probably waiting for the code to end before releasing Goove so that they don't get a deluge of "Why isn't my code working" emails.
The x-mas light analogy is pretty apt, though.

That's strange as the text for the coupon specifically says "Excludes HasbroToyShop.com exclusives and gift cards" which would include con-exclusives like the SDCC sets, but Groove isn't an HTS exclusive, it's an online only item.
