Has anyone seen any Armada Starscreams or Dead Ends this December/January? It seems like every Walmart in the Springfield/Lebanon area only has the first wave, with a few second wave things if you’re lucky. Same with Target.

I think I’m about done with this hobby, the distribution is terrible.

 

I've learned that if something is mainline, preordering is the way to go; unless it is wave 1, it's a crapshoot as to whether or not you'll find it in store. Unless it's a store exclusive that forces me to go into it due to a terrible pre-order system, it's Amazon all the way.

(Shout out to Lebanon, I grew up around there, I can see their WM's distribution being absolute crap ha ha)

 

Nope not seen anything. Never seen any of the stunticons other than Dragstrip

 

Yeah I tend to preorder anything I know I'll buy. Then, if I find it in store before the preorder ships, I'll just cancel the preorder.

 

I saw one armada starscream the day I picked up Inferno at target like 3 or so weeks ago, and nothing since. I've been kicking myself for not getting him then when I saw him.

 

The Ferguson Walmart had one Crasher and one Shadow Strip if anybody still looking for those. They also had three Legacy Galvatrons, 5 Legacy Jihaxus and 3 Legacy Kickbacks. They also had two of the Beast Wars Wolfgang and Retrax reissues.

 

Brentwood Target has a Dead End and 2 Crankcases.

 

Has anyone seen a MPM Blackout at all at Target recently? Supposedly they are being clearances out and someone posted in another thread at sub $60.

 

I found starscream and dead end at target in CoMo in December but nothing since.

 

they had him at target in sgf a while back

 

Yeah that’s too far outside my driving range but appreciate the heads up.

 

St Joseph Target has one each of the Fallen and Sludge. The rest of the Transformers are pretty picked over.

 

Springfield target was practically empty when I was there last week. They had a lone BBB Kup sitting in a separate aisle because it has been discontinued. I had an associate price check it and they still had it at full price.

 

A couple sightings for you all:

Target on Mexico road has 1x Crankcase, Pointblank and Deadend


Walgreens at 2920 Hgwy k has 4 Kingdom Red alerts.



happy hunting!

 

Have seen Wave 3 Deluxes and Cores here and there, but have yet to see the Voyagers or TM2 Megs anywhere besides Time Warp. Hope to pick up Megs when I'm able to.

 

I'm just curious but has anyone even seen a Minerva in the wild around MO?

 

Thanks! That Fallen just left with me.

 

I’m not sure out of a small initial batch much have made it to retail. It’s not up on the news first page.

 

Nope and I have been checking,,,she's my grail for 2022 and looks like 2023 as well. Also it looks like from the 3 targets I've been to today that they are setting up for a new figures because they are ALL bare as dry bones.

 

Nothing around here...
