Okay, Zuckuss, but no 4-LOM? What the hell?

[BigRoundSailor]

4-Lom was in the last assortment of 12" figures, just released about 3 months ago.

Dear sweet LORD, how did I let this slip by me??!!! Man, I gots me some shoppin' to do. Couple questions, tho:

1)Was that a Target exclusive, general release, what?

2)Is there an IG-88 12-incher out there anywhere?

Thanks, BigRound. U b awesome!

This was a general release. There was also and IG-88 and Bossk in the same wave. Check your local TRU's, because I think they got most of what's left. Most Targets have already clearanced them out.
