    Sterling Target (off of route 7) had a lone Seaspray. Didn't buy it.

    It kinda seems like Hasbro has been letting a small amount of product slip out in advance of the preceding wave, then dropping the actual wave in mass distribution a few months later. For example, there were the wave 4 deluxes at Walgreens and a handful of Sky Shadow that made it to Target, both a few months back. I'm sure that we'll see them in good numbers in a couple of months.
    This "leaking" trend has got me wondering if it's an attempt to test the market in order to avoid the later-wave failures that have happened in the last few toy lines with things either shelf-warming at big box stores or only showing up at discount stores.

    Fair Lakes TRU has about three each of the exclusive Legion 2 packs. Other than the new Megatron mold, nothing to really see there.

    If so, they missed the mark on Broadside... he is everywhere!

    New Megatron? Not the Voyager mold, right?

    I think they thought Broadside was going to be a big seller similar to Springer. They seemed to forget that Springer is more known because of his movie appearance and the IDW comics. Broadside not so much.

    I would also argue that Broadside's alt modes were both pretty poorly done. The plane especially, but even the carrier mode suffers from being a robot on his stomach with a bunch of flat kibble on his back.

    Just left Short Pump Target. (at least) One Sky Shadow remaining. Bought one with the 15% off sale they're having... $34. Didn't really pay close attention to the rest of the stock after picking my guy up.
