I thought I saw someone mention that Crystal Ball is Walmart exclusive. Would they also get the divers and the Night Force 2-Pack?
So far I think all of the Nightforce releases have been Wal Mart exclusives with the exception of the two that were in the Dragonfly HasLab of course.
@panthercult ....damn. but ah well. If I score the new NF set, cool. If not, ah well.
Hot take—
Imho
Store/ website Exclusives in general suck giant blue whale sized c*ck.
So... the last Nightforce 2-pack was ridiculously easy to come by though, right? So much so that we had a whole conversation here about people buying and returning like 4 sets because it just kept getting cheaper.
There's no reason to believe this Nightforce 2-pack will be difficult to obtain. Maybe not as easy as the Flint/Quarrel pack because Beachhead is at least as cool and maybe cooler than Flint and Quick Kick is way cooler than Quarrel, especially with that badass mask he comes with... but still, it probably won't be a nightmare.

Yeah, I think it will be slightly tougher because of Beachhead but not unreasonably so. I'm definitely preordering when it comes up, though. I'm not missing out on this and it doesn't seem reasonable that this set will see the same clearance shenanigans. ... but it is Walmart.
Put in an order for Flint, and Cover Girl (both reluctantly) and two firefighters. I passed on all the anniversary figures because I got a couple of extra Grunts. With a casual headswap, I have my randos. Plus, there's the rumor of greenshirts. I'm excited for some photoshoots with Barbecue leading the charge into burning buildings.
I was lucky enough to see an early morning post on Facebook that Breaker was available early on Target's website (when he was still listed as Phillip.) Since he's the only upcoming figure I'm interested in, I'm glad I didn't miss out on the exclusive.
I could've worn I had a Target card, though, but since it wasn't attached to my account, I used the PayPal option. Hopefully they can handle the constant fund checks.

Yesterday I didn't know Breaker was available or even a Target exclusive until it was too late. The exclusivity went over my head, I thought he was a regular release. Why is Target developing a weird association with Breaker?
@mrboshek Don't feel alone. I missed out on him as well. It was the day from H*ll for me yesterday at work (everything went wrong and continued to do so all day). By the time I was able to get on my computer, I realized I had and email from Pulse about the release, but he had already sold out. Hoping I will be able to snag him in July.
I think he'll probably be available on shelf when the time comes. Most of the Target exclusives haven't been impossible to find on shelf. He may also be available on-line again at that point too. You just have to be a little diligent. It's annoying but doable.
If you just want Breaker, but not specifically the MASS Device one, isn't there another Breaker coming in the Retro series?
Yeah.... but will he have these same plain grey fatigues? Will he? I skipped the pre-order too, but will definitely buy him if I see him in store.
