Rat King & Casey Jones are listed on Target now. Out of stock though. Also looks like they fixed Rat King's eyes compared to the pics on BBTS & EE.

Never much cared for the Toilet Taxi but I do dig when they do new stuff with vintage figures. The Don is neat. Not my jam but I can appreciate it. I wish the new Movie Foot and Shredder were a bit more creative.

Feels like if Amazon got the 'drome, and Target got the taxi, maybe Walmart will be carrying the thrower? (So in other words it will make it to the shelves right after Christmas, lol)

According to Playmates, the Toilet Taxi & Pizza Thrower are both Target exclusives.

Yea, but the Toilet Taxi is already hitting shelves. So if anyone is interested, They should probably start checking their Targets.

Wow, much smaller than I expected. Still will be a nice display piece.

Understandable why they shrunk it. Seems like the main piece/inside mostly have similar dimensions with most of the "shrinkage" happening in the base and eye, but obviously some reduction overall. Nice to see they made some fixes from the vintage as well.

I'm sure a lot of people will complain or whatever, but for the price this is going to be a great get. The Technodrome was always woefully underscaled for what it was supposed to be, so I don't think some reduction will matter much when it's mostly a display piece.

If you live on the west coast, go for it. I have checked the midwest over the past week including Colorado, Nebraska, and Iowa, and have not seen it. So I expect it will be closer to August to reach us and get out on the shelf here.

Yea, I am also in the midwest (Michigan) and have struck out every time I have checked my local Targets but I have a feeling each Target store is not going to get many of these but I hope I am wrong.

I'm also in Michigan and can feel your pain. I still haven't found the auto mutations

The stocking of those Auto Mutations is bizarre. I found them once, maybe twice and when they rung up, they were discounted because they were under the same listing as the Pizza Tossin’ figures they put on clearance. Then all the Walmarts did their reset and there’s no shelf space for them anymore.

I haven’t seen a single All Star/Sports Turtle at all.

They’re probably in the backroom since the basic carded 40th Anniversary figures are out on the shelf.

I'm a Michigander myself and I'm still waiting on the Walmart Party Wagon. Never found in store

I think alot of the problem is the stupid MM figures. They keep clogging up the works because they just peg warm now and employees see a still stocked shelf, they don't bring out new stock. Every store I go to, weather Walmart, Target, or even Meijer is just crammed with MM figures and they are not moving, even at discount

Never saw the party wagon, not expecting to ever see it at this point. Never even saw a shelf slot for it.

Have seen some sports turtles (few and far between); have never seen Auto Mutations. HAVE started seeing the B&W mirage reissues.
