    New RID Minicons at the Tumwater Fred-Meyer, but just one pack left... However, for you all still craving a Sky Lynx, one was going out on the floor TONIGHT, and will be stocked with Onslaught tomorrow morning at 7am. Good luck if you want it, I might crack and get it around 3pm if you don't... I didn't wanna take it off the floor before people had a fair chance, and I knew it was going out tonight/tomorrow morning. (^_^)

    McChord AFB PX has three Legends Shockwave and one Legends Wreck-Gar since yesterday. They don't sell out fast.

    Grrr...I was JUST there a few days ago, too.
    Oh well, hopefully that means all the other targets in the area (Woodinville, Redmond, etc) will be soon to follow.

    Lynnwood Wal Mart appears to have received a shipment of Titans Return. I wasn't the first one here but there's a Sentinel Prime left. I'm buying a Stripes which appears to be the only Legends class left.

    Hey all, long time no posting! (it's been a year and a half + since i bought anything at retail)

    So, had to run an errand down by Green Lake at lunch today and hit the discount stores on the way back looking for Sky Lynx:

    N. Seattle Ross (99) had nothing but a weird AoE 3 pack of Deluxe Strafe with Legends Bumblebee and Stinger that was listed as a Walmart exclusive that i'd never heard about (i didn't pay attention to that line), Shoreline Marshalls got the Onslaught/Scattorshot wave, 1 of each, and Edmonds (99) TJ Maxx had 2 Onslaughts on the shelf, so SOMEONE probably scored 2 Sky Lynx (Lynxs?Lynxi?) there.

    If anyone happens to come across one up in the North End that they don't want/need, i'd be much obliged!

    This thread had been dead lately. Is it no one looks here anymore or is it poor distribution to stores?

    honestly, i haven't found anything new at retail since the first wave of Combiner Wars in Dec. 2015 ~ been just ordering everything online. The whole Skylynx thing was what got me popping back over to check if anyone else was having any luck.

    I think most of us have shifted to buying online (hunt got really old for me), plus a lot of us on facebook, and the lack of a new line hitting heavily. I was able to grab the legend, deluxe, and voyager titans at a Walmart a few weeks ago, and pointed another local in the direction of another set (he ended up finding the Legends for me). Probably kicking myself for not grabbing Sentinal.

    I've been keeping a lookout at Ross for Skylynx, but have two people on my list if I do find him (found one for myself). Hopefully some locals find them before cybfest, cause it will be a good place to distribute them to people in need.

    People went to the facebook page. (which doesn't help people like me)

    Oh, wow I didn't know anyone had seen the Titans Return toys around here yet. I know I haven't.

    And yeah, online is a lot better, hunting is annoying. I just have to patiently wait until stuff is on HTS, and a coupon code is active. Hoorah for being a cheapass!

    I found all of the Legends 1st wave Titans Returns toys (Rewind, Wheelie, plus all of the little individual headmasters = their tiny vehicles) at Fred Meyer in Monroe.

    The bad news is I didn't leave very much. When I left, there was still plenty of little guys, but I grabbed the only Rewind and Wheelie.

    This is good, though, as it means stores in the areas are gonna start getting stocked faster. Fred Meyer is usually a little late to adopt new cases of new lines in my experience.

    As for the topic being discussed above....
    I have literally NEVER seen a SkyLynx or an Ultra Magnus from Combiner Wars in the area up here. Not once. I saw Onslaught once and bought it and since then I've only ever seen tons of Motormasters, Primes, Scattorshots, and Hotspots. I have no evidence for this, but it seems like the RID toys aren't selling very well and if that is the case, then it would explain why stores are not refreshing their cases quickly.

    Cool, I'll probably start going to Freddies to look for the individual little heads. I got lucky finding a Skylynx at Target right when they started hitting while on a trip to Oregon. Wasn't in the computer, so as much as I kept telling them it was $25, they decided to give it to me for $10 on the condition that I not return it. After telling them it was $25 twice, I wasn't about to argue.
