    I’ve seen plenty of scourge as well as a few of shadowstrip and crasher at the Cordova mall Ross. Also seen a guy buying up every transformer in every Ross in the Pensacola area, plus a few other toys, so that may be why we aren’t seeing them.

    Older guy, angular haircut? Yeah, he’s been hitting them all several times a week for a few months now, supposedly.

    Took a different route today so I could end up doing something aside from my usual sightings.

    First up, a breath of stale air (but at least it's reasonably priced, unlike some other places)-
    Ross on Glades Road and Lyons Road (in Boca, anybody who's been there knows it's close enough to SR 7/441):
    Scourge × 1 (These are obligatory, it seems)
    Skids × 2 (I thought these were supposed to rot on Walmart's pegs forever?)
    Minerva × 1 (No doubt more than has ever been seen in 99% of Walgreens stores)
    Slicer × 0 (There was one, but I grabbed since it was something I was looking for and could afford)

    Next, and last, a little smaller than the one I normally report on, but it's still a Target -
    Target on SR 7/441, between Glades Road and Palmetto Park Road (in Boca):

    20231010_194014.jpg
    Of note -
    BB Scourge × 9 (Please send these to Ross already)
    BB Tow-line × 2
    GE Megatron × 2
    Nemesis Leo Prime × 2
    Trashmaster × 1
    BB Troop Builder Multipack × 4 (This would be a must-have for me if they had a [not updated] Transformers Prime Vehicon)

    I found the new wave of SS Core Class figures (Exo-Suit Noah, Bumblebee, Rumble (Red)) at one of my local Targets. I went to check out and the figures did not show up in the system. The one time I find figures early or when they are supposed to release I can't buy them. Does this apply for all Targets or is it on a location by location basis?

    I've never worked for Target, so I don't know for sure, but from what I've heard it's not a location by location basis. They appear to have "street dates" for certain toy releases. Like all street dates, a store manager can override that, but you won't find any of them that value being employed who will do so for music, movies, or video games. For toys, you can find a store manager willing to do an override, but it's on an entirely case by case basis.

    Target @ 13711 S Tamiami Tr & Daniels Pkwy (Market Square, S Fort Myers) just after 8am this morning had mostly the usual picked over stuff, but they did have Studio Series 1 x Airazor, 1 x S100 Bumblebee, 2 x Mirage, and 1 x Nightbird, and plenty of Rhinoxes. Also had 2 x Buzzworthy Troop Builder 4pk.

    Also, hello to the three people who individually showed up in the Transformers aisle while I was rummaging through the Halloween candy.

    It is always funny to see other people in the TF aisle at the same time. One time I saw a Military member (not sure which branch) in ACUs walk into the aisle as I was leaving. It gave a good chuckle because anyone can be a TF collector without you knowing.

    Failed to take pic, but Walmart on mobile hwy (Pensacola) has the new studio series cores. Ross in Cordova mall has a bunch of the legacy beasts, and a single buzzworthy B127. Target on hwy90 has troop builder packs and a single detritus.

    Got to check out a Ross I haven't been to before, on John Young Pkwy across from Kohls. Found: 2x BB Kups, 2x BB Cliffjumpers, 2x BB B-127s, 2x Legacy Skids, and 2x of the OP and Shockwave large Cyberverse figures.
    If anyone sees the BB w/ McKayla around Orlando, or the Headmaster reissues, or any GIJoe Classified Python Trooper/BAT, I would appreciate the heads up!
