    Not really interested in the TR Brainstorm, I still have the IDW Voyager, and since spacecraft tend to be bigger than cars and helicopters, he's gonna scale better with TR Chromedome and Highbrow when they come out.

    That being said, got one Walgreens close to me and I'm real good friends with the staff. They know of the TR Brainstorm, but haven't seen anything yet, and as soon as anything positive comes up I will post up.

    To all those hunting the TR Brainstorm, I wish you the best of luck.

    You know, I'm not one to tell someone else how to collect, but you could probably flip the Titan Force release and then open the TR figure - I personally like the TR deco waaaaaaay better, and honestly I would have only bought the Titan Force figure if someone wanted to sell it to me out of the set. Just one man's opinion, though!

    It's a toss up for me, I just like the character in general. Anyway, I double checked RK's shipping table. "up to 4 weeks" is my expected delivery window and I'm coming up on the end of week 2.

    Not yet. Checked two different Walgreens yesterday and they have nothing. Well one had their exclusive Marvel Legends Punisher. He's pretty cool!

    And an assistant manager at Walgreens allegedly said October just last week.
    First indication of Titans Return Deluxe Brainstorm's single release version - Page 7 - Transformers Discussion - The Allspark Forums

    Seriously, don't take any dates someone gives for this figure as gospel. We've already had August 1 (Hasbro at SDCC), November (Walmart toy buyer Steven Anne), October (Walgreens assstant manager) and now September (New York Walgreens manager).

    At this point, no matter when Brainstorm will actually be found in stores, someone will be able to say "See? Told ya!"

    Nah! Keep the information flowing, even if it ends up being incorrect that's not your issue. Better to keep reporting in because eventually he will show up and we can all get excited together.

    There have been reports of regular Wave 2 guys showing up at Walgreens, so I finally went out today to 4 local stores while running other errands. One looked like they were halfway through a reset, the other three hadn't even started. None had new TF stock (though one had figures from the Deadpool ML wave) so I may check again later in the week.

    Obvs no brainstorm yet.

    I have a question,to the folks who found wave 2 of the TR figures.Which Walgreens did you find them at?The 24 hour or a regular store one that opens at a set time? We have a few 24 hour Walgreens and a lot that open at 8am 9am on Sundays.

    I saw one Weird Wolf between 3 Walgreens. I guess I'll just wait it out. $20 is a bit much...

    There have been several reports that Brainstorm is showing in Walgreens' systems with an October 14 street date.
