    Was it the scout sized Grimlock or Voyager sized one? The smaller one has not been spotted. I saw tons of the smaller sized ones at my local Five Below but it was only Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, and Starscream.

    The Lakeline target seems to be starting a rollout of Siege. Last week I picked up the Battle patrol and race car patrol, and this week they had a single Blowpipe but no other siege yet. They were fairly well stocked, including three of the POTP Optimus primal figures. If you're in the area I'd keep an eye out on that store. I've had a lot of luck at that location in the past, including getting all of the CW Protectobots shortly after their release.

    Found a Studio Series Dropkick at the Mesquite Target. Meanwhile, at the Walmart on 80, Starscream is clogging the shelf.

    And poor old Sqweeks and Dragonstorm are still tearing it up too.

    Got some of the botbots at a Walmart on the way home from work. Neat little figures for the price. Plastic used is pretty much like a regular transformer, surprisingly. Yes, they fit very well with masterpiece figures! Loving how well mp figures can hold the hot cocoa.

    Also, packages have a number etched into the bottom back right corner of the packaging, look for that number and you’ll know what figure you get.

    Walmart on Spring Cypress/249 has the G1 Minibot reissues, corrected G1 Hot Rod, TCG Metroplex starter set, and a couple Bot Bots left in the red island display. I skipped the Bot Bots for now.

    I paid full price ($30) for Hot Rod as I didn't have time to price match. The minibots were $7.86 though.
