Amelia WM had SS Rhinox and a Legacy BW Inferno. They also had SS86 Brawn, G2 Cloudcover and some of the G2 deluxes (no Sideswipe or Dead End). Anybody still need SS Fallen? They had one of those too.
Meijer on Alexis actually has something noteworthy for the first time in quite awhile. One each of SS Rhinox and Gamer Megatron.
Forgot to mention...Amelia WM also had a couple NECA Gargoyles Angelas...first time I've seen her at retail.
Wooster Walmart has the Toxitron Deluxes minus Sideswipe and Dead End, they also have a Cloudcover and Legacy Inferno!
Columbus Toy Show wasn't bad today. Didn't get anything outside of a Kre-O Grimlock that "transforms" (I use the term loosely), but there was a much wider array of vendors and items than I've seen in recent shows and prices seem to be easing back towards normal after being kinda high for a couple of years.
Walmart in Huber Heights had some decent stock. There were a few Toxitron Cloudcovers, tons of the core Scarr and Swoops (and a core Grimlock), and at least one deluxe Shrapnel. For those looking, there were also about 5 or 6 of the Origins Mossmen. Quick question - is there going to be a re-stock on the legacy core Slug? I can't find him anywhere online for less than double the MSRP and I can't bring myself to pay that much for him.
Don't know if this is malarky, but Entertainment Earth is accepting pre-orders for $11.99. I'll keep an eye peeled locally.
That's great as I only saw sludge once and I didn't buy him as I didn't realize the dinos actually combined.
North Olmsted Target - Nemesis Leo Prime, I snagged the Dirge. How many figures are in the case pack for this assortment? Looked like Nemesis Leo Prime x3, Dirge x1 assuming it's a four item case; and I can't recall if the Cloudcover case was 4 or 6 per case. I'm assuming the price point case packs are the same 6 per box, but I could be wrong. McFarlane Kalibak and some other new big figures were there. Was scanning on the off chance they had a cheap Frankenstein. North Olmsted Walmart - quick run. Seems Toxitron has dried up. SS Bee 100, gamer Cliffjumper x3, and some other things...
One armada megatron at red bank Walmart. Top shelf. Also several core ironhides. Lots of arcees (three versions!) Many galvatrons. Couple of crosscuts, but none of the rest of the wave. If anyone runs across a Skyquake, snarl or brawn around cincinnati I’d be grateful for a heads up. Edit: Nemesis Leo at Red Bank target. No Dirge, he came home with me.
Pretty sure voyagers are still three per case, so if you saw 6 Cloudcovers you saw 2 cases. Dirge is the shortpack according to EE's case listing. Which seems like a dumb choice since the whole point of Dirge being repacked this way was because there were so many issues people had getting the coneheads
Powell Target has a bunch of Nemesis Leos + one Dirge. Also one Gamer Megs and two ROTB Rhinoxes. Some other stuff on the endcap too.
I think Hasbro's reasoning is Nemesis Leo is a whole new release whereas Dirge is just a rerelease of a figure some people have, and some still want, but likely isnt needed to be *AS* plentiful.
2x SS86 Brawn, 2x Gamer Cliffjumper, 2x Gamer Megatron, 5x ROTB Rhinox, and that one extra squashed Armada Megs at Sawmill Target.
I'm surprised it's taken any retail locations this much time to get the Dirge/Prime (repaint) wave. I think it came in at BBTS, what? 2 months ago? Maybe 3? I can't even remember, honestly.
