    Nothing at Cunningham Rd. BUT! I did find a tag and therefore a SKU for the assortment that works on Brickseek for the leaders

    SKU: 499794874

    Yes! Its how I tracked down Sandstorm. But of course if the employees have actually put it on the shelf is another matter

    PopFindr is completely down for any assortment items but single items sometimes work (think video games, movies, etc)

    Seven Hills Meijer toy aisle is slowly healing (receiving new product - nothing that piques my interest), but Transformers are hosed. One BB Soundwave, one spider lady robot, and dinosaur Megatron for days. This is such a wild difference from when I would drive to Columbus to visit Meijer for stuff we never saw in NEO stores. Then again, there weren't supply chain issues and global pandemic fallout back in 2012. :b

    Meijers around Columbus are entirely skippable now, unless you are looking to snag something you missed from two to three waves ago. I cannot honestly remember the last time I went to a Meijer and picked up something brand new.

    Edit: Yes I can. It was Siege Commander Jetfire about 3 or 4 years ago.

    The Lewis Centre Meijer had a decent spell where it was pretty solid for getting new figures in, it's been a year since I moved away from the area though so I don't know what it's like now.

    When SS Grimlock was being spotted at retail I went all over Cincy to all the Walmarts and Targets. I spent a whole Saturday on the Prowl. That evening after conceding defeat, I stopped by my local meijer to get some groceries. As I always do I walk by the toy section and I’d be a Son of a Blaster if there wasn’t one lone Grimlock on the shelf. You never know with meijer. Gotta keep them in the rotation.

    I remember when wave 1 of the SS leaders first hit…a couple guys were running all over around here looking for them and I recall them finding them at Meijer…maybe you and @Swoop Dogg ? It was funny.

    Meijer was the place I found Siege Jetfire, They also had a bunch of Tigatron's when they were sighted at retail in Columbus but overall I'd say they are mostly a miss for me. Its pretty much target the majority of the time then randomly walmart gets something first like Legacy Blitzwing

    That’s the one I picked up the SS Sentinel Prime from. That was literally the only place I ever saw Sentinel too

    He’s trickling in places, but it seems like one of those figures that’s going to take a while to hit saturation because he’s packed in with Star scream afaik

    He's currently only available at Targets around the country. He's packed in with Starscream, superiorsoundwave is correct.

    Has anyone checked the Dayton Mall (Kingsridge Rd) Walmart lately? I’m debating if I wanna try hitting it on my lunch

    @Skyclaw was there earlier in the week and they didn't have anything new out. But they were also working on unloading some stuff. Might be worth the trip.
