I'm REALLY liking Nitro and Scorn.

Also, Lacey Walmart has the Crosshairs/Strafe/Bee wave of TLK deluxes, along with a few Drifts and a Slug.

 

Target has $10 off $50 in Toys, or $25 off $100 in Toys all week. Coupon in the weekly ad. Happy Hunting  

 

Renton Walmart had 2x Gnaw (and a HighCaptSpock!)

 

The Walgreens website now has the TR Cloudraker and Wingspan set listed!! The two-pack is currently not available for purchase online, but should be within a few months (if it works like their exclusive Brainstorm). There is no listed price online, either. Speculation states that the "in stock" listing is for any TR figures, not just this Clones set.

I will be going to three Walgreens stores in northern Seattle this afternoon and will report what I find. I hope everyone who wants the set can finally get one soon!!

EDIT: In all my excitement I forgot to include the Walgreens link. Click here please

 

Sad news update: No TR Clones at the Lake City Walgreens, Greenwood (I think?) Walgreens on 145th and Aurora, or the Northgate Walgreens. The stores did have TR Deluxes, Triggerhappy and Quake were at all stores. Northgate Walgreens also had Blurr, Skullsmasher, and Hardhead... They must be using Northgate Target's time machine to restock?

All of the stores had those new "simpler" figures. Optimus Prime and Bumblebee were at each store. Lake City and Northgate also had Prowl. Greenwood had Jetfire. No Decepticons to be found.

I don't know what else people are looking for. There were some Dragon Ball figures, Marvel Legends, etc. as well if anyone is interested in knowing what I saw.

 

I'm checking over here in az. Their website is saying a few locations have them but they dont. Grrr. OK going in one last location

Edit... no dice. Bummer

 

Holy crap. Olympia TRU has the Cogman wave of TLK deluxes (minus one Cogman - I was gonna take the other for a custom, but didn't want to be THAT guy), a restock of the exclusive deluxes (Megs and Skullitron), at least one Leader Dragonstorm, 1 new movie-MP Optimus and 3 movie-MP Bees.

 

Well SHIT.

The piece crumbled with the immediacy of Gold Plastic Syndrome. Silver Plastic Syndrome.

I'd make a joke about Cogman's codpiece but I'm too frustrated.

 

Oh faaack. You better hurry back and exchange it for that other one

 

That sucks. Plastic cement should work though. It isn't a load bearing codpiece.

 

That joint is REAL tight. Might just glue the whole piece in place - I don't need to store the sword in vehicle mode.

 

I think it also flips down to allow the car mode to roll. If you glue it in place, the alt mode will probably rest on it. I have a Cogman, but I am not at home right now.

 

Ross in Northgate has no Transformers-related merchandise. Their toy section is surprisingly well-organized.

Northgate Target has a few new items worth mentioning: TR Voyagers Octane ("Octone") and Blitzwing!! They also had a lot of the Target-exclusive TLK 3-pack of Tiny Turbos (I think that's what they are called?). TLK Nitro and Scorn, and two TLK Leader Optimus Prime. They also have the TR Headmaster wave with Repugnus, but there are ZERO TR Legends or Deluxes on the shelves. It looked like the RID Crash Combiners and (larger) Combiners were like 15% off.

I don't know what anyone is looking for that's non-TF related right now, so I'll just list a few random things I remember:

- SIX Nintendo Switches in the video game department
- New Nintendo 3DS Galaxy edition for $175
- New Nintendo 2DS black/blue and white/orange for $150

- Marvel Legends Jessica Jones and Punisher
- All Star Wars toys were 20% or 25% off (multiple signs in the toys section)... this wasn't in the weekly ad or posted only, so YMMV at your stores
- Some Thor Ragnarok merchandise, including a two-pack of Thor and a Marvel-girl whose name I didn't recognize. "Marvel's something"
- Some Justice League merchandise

I have pictures of the Transformers section if anyone wants to see something.

EDIT: Northgate Target also had 3 RC Sqweeks on the shelves as of Tuesday afternoon. Sorry I forgot to list them earlier, it's been quite a week and somehow it's only Wednesday :/

 

Is *anywhere* around here getting blue-dot Tiny Turbos? I know some TRU's in Texas have been, but around here it seems like only a handful of Targets got 1-2 cases each and that's it. GiganGoji, I know you offered to help me out with my problem on these guys, but it seems rather less than an optimal solution.

 

I got mine from the Tigard Target in Oregon, and that's the only time I've seen Wave 2 in the wild.

 

A half-dozen Slugslingers at the Chehalis Walmart:

 

1 RID Warrior Twinferno(? the dragon-headed jet) at Olyympia Target.

Tumwater Fred Meyer restocked wave one of the TLK deluxes, so in case you didn't get that shitty repaint of the AOE Bumblebee mold that's been readily available for the last YEAR, you can grab it there for $5 over the already-jacked up retail price. Is there an eye-rolling emoticon? Not sure how to find it on my phone. I'm a little tipsy.

 

Anyone seen Power of the Primes toys yet? Specifically in Bellingham.

 

I am in Everett and the answer is nope. You should check Target though. It usually seems like when these sightings happen at Target, whatever it is shows up around here about a weekish later.

 

Found the Walgreens exclusive Wingspan/Cloudracker in store near the Space Needle. Happy hunting!
