    I just snagged this on eBay. While I didn't purchase it in-hand physically, I got this from a US-based seller...so the hunt is on?

    Someone in the images thread said they saw it today at a Meijer in Indiana.

    People don't usually buy things at a high price to sell at a lower price (as low as can be), so this might be from Meijer.

    Probably not allowed. Street date is still almost a month out. Wasn’t there an issue with POTP where they couldn’t be up for pre-order until the street date had passed?

    Can confirm that most Southeast Michigan Meijer's have got deluxes, and Leaders. I scooped up a Blackout, Grimlock, and Ratchet.

    So to recap, Meijer in Michigan has received Wave 2 Deluxe and Legends Power of the Primes, and Wave 1 Studio Series Leader, Voyagers, and Deluxes.

    Nice! So does Meijer have any sister companies on the east coast? Particularly South Florida?

    Dunno how big Meijer is, but, maybe this'll expedite the street date.

    It's not a good sign that the couple retailers getting these at brick and mortar stores like Fred Meyers are gouging the prices. It's almost like they have more insider information about these than normal. I think this will blow over soon once Target and Walmart start getting them.

    The mejier s around me are actually are rivaling the Walmart’s and targets in size goods and prices it seems so they definitely have a pretty big presence where I’m located at.
