    Snagged a full set of Siege Micromasters at the Quaker Crossing Target. There were spots for deluxes, I spoke to an employee and they said they should be there within the next day or two. Also two Blowpipes and a Lionizer.

    Also saw one Optimal Optimus on the bottom shelf, left him though.

    Fishkill Walmart only seems to have the BB movie figures and a bunch of Hot Rods and PotP voyagers. Getting kind of pathetic at that place. Cortland Manor isn't any better

    No they are - it's just that I hit all the big walgreens in the city without luck and went in there with a co-worker who was looking for xmas cards and low and behold they had him in their tiny toy section.

    The Albany Walmart (Washington Ave ext) was loaded tonight. They had all of the reissue minibots, a ton of studio series deluxe, I grabbed a dropkick. They also had the Cyberberse Optimus with the trailer. They also had a ton of novastar and moonracer.

    Farmingdale has 2 sets left on the pegs 3 days ago. Commack, Centereach, Riverhead, middle island all had the out last weekend. Don’t no what’s lift, but the way those displays looked, so expect to find unbent cards by none.

    I’ll give it another weekend in my area for the G1 Minibots. Is it possible for anyone to help me out after Christmas if I come up empty? I need Swerve, Outback & Tailgate.

    As of 12/22, Forbidden Planet in Union Square has:
    Studio series KSI Sentry, Crowbar, Ratchet, Megatron, Dropkick, Bumblebee. POTP Inferno, Elita-1, Rodimus Prime and Optimus Optimal.
    I was looking for Siege War for Cybertron figures, but there were none to be found.

    I don’t believe they’ve shown up at brick & mortars yet. I was one of the lucky few to grab them off HTS. They do show up on Amazon from time to time at MSRP as well.

    Walmart in Cortland Manor had at least three sets of the re-issue minibots in one of the cardboard aisle setups. Didn't grab them because the registers were a joke. Walmart in Fishkill...... looks like a bomb went off in the toy aisle and wiped the pegs clean

    I called around to the Albany Target stores, o Leaders yet. I was hoping to surprise my son with shockwave for Christmas.

    Probably a couple weeks out. New Hartford still haven’t put the deluxes out yet.

    You prob won’t see deluxes till mid Jan. They won’t go out till after the reset. The next week the toy isle will be a barren wasteland with just returns. Most stores put out the siege stuff just to fill shelves. So I’d say 2nd week of Jan with the typical new year price increase on everything.
