    On the upside, I've seen it cited here that Grimlock is packed in a solid case. So hopefully that helps stores not only move stock, but keeps him relatively easy to find.

    Hopefully. And that the rumors of them doing the rest of the Dinobots (though apparently minus Snarl...which I'm guessing is cause of his lack of presence in the movie) in the Studio Series line is true.

    I am NOT a fan of the POTP Dinobots at all.

    He was kinda there in a few shots, I guess?

    Also, Edina and Bloomington target were pretty sparse. Go figure both had a ton of bee 2-packs now. Both also had a couple Kingdom leader Primes, but no Megs. Bloomington had a lone Paleotrex.

    I discounted more items on my moving sale thread if interested. Local pick-ups in Crystal to avoid delivery fees (but I can ship too if you would like).

    I'm seeing hints that Target is clearancing Siege/WfC Leaders at some locations.

    If anyone happens upon a Prime under $30, consider me interested.

    Leaks suggest they're going to do all 5 Dinobots. I suppose if they want to hold tight to "appeared in a movie" they could always drop that last one in whatever the Generations line is.

    EP Target had very little in the aisle, but the secret endcap towards the back had bee 2-packs, 3 hotrods, and 1 Scourge, as well as those really ugly interlocking statues.

    Blaine 109th Target still has one Ecto-1.

    Nothing else of note.

    Edina target had TF's kinda scattered all over. The main aisle is mostly Buzzworthy Bee with 1 Kingdom Leader Prime.

    One end cap kinda on the edge of clothes had an Ironworks for $14 and a ER Megs in a banged-up box for $15. Another endcap had a ton of S3 and 4 BotBot 5 and 8 packs pretty steeply discounted (I think like half price? I didn't look since I have all I need from those). They had one lone Cyberverse Repug set marked down to $12 so I grabbed that for the little dudes.

    A bit late posting, but I went up to Cambridge around lunchtime today since brickseek said there were still some G1 Blasters there for cheap. Found two of them still left, rung up for $4.50 each.

    Also stopped over at the Target since I was there. There was a 50% off clearance sign for Ratchet but the shelf was empty unfortunately. There was half dozen or more SS86 Hot Rods and a couple Scourges. I grabbed the Scourges, so now none left there, just a bunch of HRs. :cool: 

    edit: Oh yeah, just remembered also an MPM-7 Bumblebee at the Target as well.

    Winona Target had 5 Hot Rods, zero Scourges or anything else. They had an entire endcap of Shockwaves and Grappels though. Walmart had a case of the Kingdom Deluxes, I took Warpath and Paleotrex.

    Has anyone spotted the Walmart headmasters yet?

    The only thing from Earthrise I missed was Trailbreaker. Still haven’t seen any in the wild and I only found his case mates once.

    Are you wanting Trailbreaker?

    In other news...

    Andover Target had 2 Hot Rods and 1 Scourge.

    Anyone spot the SS Deluxe wave since that first discovery?

    Affirmative.

    Was at Walmart in Lakeville earlier. They didn’t have much but Deluxe figures were $10. So might be worth it to check out some Walmarts if people are looking for discounts.

    I’ll keep my eyes peeled. All they had for leaders was a big red excavator for SS.

    AV Target off Pilot has a kiosk suggesting lots of SS86 stock but nothing is out.

    On top of that, their system says 2 SS Leaders, but there's nothing on the floor or in back. I wonder if that's related to the Overloads they got a while ago. Came in as an assortment (so they count as Leaders) but went out as Voyagers.

    Andover Target now has 2 Scourge and 4 Hot Rods this morning.

    I'm tempted to build the Sweeps, but that's a little too expensive for me here.
