    I managed to buy that Slugslinger early this morning. That mouth-thing actually doesn't look too bad; just wasn't expecting it after seeing the stock photos.

    Yeah, it's not something that's supposed to be there, but don't mind it so much. At least the lines are even and not jagged. If you see the Twintwist in Kmart Footscray, it's helmet looks like it'd been haphazardly carved out with a knife (I didn't bother taking a photo since I no longer use photobucket, but it's been there for about a week now). This defect on Slugslinger kind of adds a bit of character to the toy (somewhat reminds me of the Joker), but if it ever reaches a point where I can't stand it anymore, I guess I could try to paint over the lines around the mouth. I think it's there because the paint they used was applied too thinly.

    Another unsuccessful visit to K-Mart Vic Gardens this time and can report they are absolutely cleared out of anything Titan Returns.

    Seems a lot of movie stuff is easily available though....

    Its all shelf warming crap, even the leaders are barely moving, my big w is clogged with tr broadsides as well to make matters worse.

    Least after the rush for the new stuff kmarts and myers are the go to places for new tr deluxes because all the ones nearby I'm aware of are out.

    I have zero hopes for wave 2 tlk deluxes and wave 3 voyagers though, not looking good
