    Nothing at the Albany Walgreens. They are all pretty stocked. I don't know if they will get wave 4 anytime soon.

    Found and snagged the only Krok at Abbott Rd Walgreens earlier today. TRU on McKinley has a full PEG EACH of RID Warrior Paralon, and Starscream, as well as one Alpine Drift or whatever they're calling the MTMTE-colored RID Drift. Also saw one Leader Blaster ALL the way in the back of the bottom shelf at the TRU.

    Albany Walmart had one Astrotrain left and little else. Mostly RiD stuff. No TR deluxes or leaders.whatsoever.

    Hey all. I know this is not directly transformer related but I just saw the "Voltron Legendary Defender" Electronic combining black lion at Target. He was on sale for $29.99 so I purchased him. I have net seen any of the other lions around. Can you all let me know if you begin to see them come to NY? They look really cool and I would like to get the other 4. They are Pre-order sold out on websites and I'm not sure if they are released yet in this area. They are on E-Bay for $40-50 a piece but they retail for $18.00 so that is a bit steep.

    Thanks

    Black lion is an easy find , you can get him at target.com also. The limbs not so much. Targets got restocked last week. best bet use brickseek and watch for restock most store have be picked clean.

    U can try Walmart and TRU also but again most store are cleaned out.

    I'd check your local TRU & Walmarts. They've upped the price to $19.99 at TRU for them, but Walmart has them at $17.99.

    So I won $100 on a scratch off today, so I went and impulse bought the set of 5 wave 4 deluxes and broadside from toy dojo, which happened to come back in stock. I also had to buy a CW wind charger to get the free shipping. So I wish all of you gentlemen luck, but I'm out of the hunt for now. Now if this jerk on eBay would send my Sixshot I would be happy as can be.

    My son is going to lose his shit on his birthday. He had been going crazy for Perceptor.

    Took a near 90 minute trip from NyC to White Plains. Bought a lone TR Megatron with Doomshot for $24.99 at the Target inside the City Center mall!!

    Ps. They are using decals for some parts, even for the insignias :/

    Was just going to report about Forbidden Planet (there were 4 when I was there around 4:30).

    Shockingly, the Walgreens on 14th and 4th av. had a Hot Rod, Breakaway, and Blurr. I grabbed the lone HR.

    Looks like our ship has finally come in! :D

    Officially been 2 months today, since any of the local big boxes have restocked any TR Deluxes, Legends & Voyagers.

    Picked up Twinferno & Breakaway off of Walmarts site for $12.99 each with free site to store shipping. Triggerhappy was only available via 3rd party though.
