Fifth use, actually. You’re probably forgetting about Barricade.

Or you could paint Prowls' legs. You'd have to do that anyway if you wanted them to properly match, since his legs are silver (or if you go the Roger Rabbit-former route, gray-cheaply-standing-in-for-silver) rather than white.sol magnus wrote:Till-all-R1 wrote:Looks great!

Can't imagine.
Although, examining him, I can see I'm going to need another one to take the legs apart and surgically graft to Prowl.

Indeed I was. Thank you, sir! Sorry, Barricade.

How about the ninth use? The Siege mold was retooled slightly into Earthrise so this is the ninth overall.

Yeah it was kind of a coincidence for me, I just happened to read the above post about the 1 o'clock availability at 12:55 and quickly logged into Pulse and refreshed the order page at 1 and voila. Now I don't have to keep checking my Target twice a week until I find one. The stockboy told me the other night they had TONS of Kups and Bees so they weren't ordering any Buzzworthy stuff for a while and it's the only Target in town.o.supreme wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:I just scored 1.o.supreme wrote:alekese wrote:Buzzworthy figures are currently premium exclusive, will probably become available to general public at 1.

Darn time zone shenanigans...I was thinking it would be 1pm PT
which is in 3 hours. So they only gave premium members a 1 hour head start... that's not so bad. I hope everyone who wants one gets one now that it's available to all.
...I was gonna wait to find Silverstreak in stores still, but this sentence right here convinced me otherwise since this is EXACTLY the kind of thing that would happen with my luck. I can almost guarantee if I missed it today I would never see him in store, and because I did get him today, now I'll see him immediately when I next visit Target instead.Rodimus Prime wrote:The stockboy told me the other night they had TONS of Kups and Bees so they weren't ordering any Buzzworthy stuff for a while and it's the only Target in town.

I just started seeing Kup and B-127, but CJ is a cryptid as far as my Target is concerned.o.supreme wrote:Nemesis Primal wrote:...I was gonna wait to find Silverstreak in stores still, but this sentence right here convinced me otherwise since this is EXACTLY the kind of thing that would happen with my luck.

Same here. Murphy's law..
Though I just started seeing Kup and Cj a couple of weeks ago. Still no SS BB deluxe, or any legacy sightings
I bought him for peace of mind. Now I don't have to even go to Target anymore (and the ironic thing is the store is directly across the street from my place, like a 2 minute walk!) because blue Bluestreak is the last piece of the collection I was going for. I literally have nothing else to hunt for, except maybe a better Shockwave than Siege, and beast Inferno and Tarantulas when they come out later. But otherwise, I'm down to collecting the rest of the SS86 Dinobots and hopefully a clean version of Siege Springer in either SS86 or Selects.o.supreme wrote:Nemesis Primal wrote:...I was gonna wait to find Silverstreak in stores still, but this sentence right here convinced me otherwise since this is EXACTLY the kind of thing that would happen with my luck.

B3cayse of this I decided to swing by my Target anyway, and sure enough there's blue Bluestreak, along with the 1st wave of Legacy.ShadowBlaze wrote:Target.com currently has him in-stock, too.
