    One Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime left in Chambersburg Walmart after I picked up mine.

    North Hanover Walmart had a dump for Avengers and the entire wave of Endgame Legends last night at 1 AM.

    SHOCKINGLY they also had the entire X-Men Caliban Legends wave. I've got them on pre-order so I left them but they were tempting.

    Hit Allentown Whitehall and Bechtelsville because the said leaders siege were in stock. Zero anywhere, and the Whitehall were most unhelpful saying they couldn't check the floor for me.

    They will indeed. They don't like you using Brickseek. Even Walmart employees are catching on. They'll give you a look, maybe a comment, but then do the job. Target doesn't care.

    The problem is, they're much like Comcast and Charter/Spectrum, they're actually letting people close their accounts and leave as subscribers, they're not even trying to retain them anymore, because they have the market cornered. No one can provide the services they do in a lot of areas, same with Walmart and Target.
    KMart is all but gone, Meijer is a Midwest option, only and Walmart/Target take care of the rest. They know it. You'll come crawling back, you have to.

    I'm guessing you didn't notice, there was one on the riser.

    Chambersburg Walmart
    2x Galaxy Optimus and 2x Shockwave
    Wave 2 Siege deluxes
    1 each of Siege Soundwave and Starscream.
    If Starscream is still there when I get off work at 1, I'll be buying it.

    I grabbed Starscream. When I left work, an Endgame feature was put out by toys. There are Endgame Marvel Legends, Pops, Lego sets and other Avenger things.

    Well, Target gave me a $45 gift card. Still doesn't make up for all the crap I went through.

    Also, I found the new Ranger figures... At my local Walmart. I still need Lord Zedd, so I called my local Target and they're sticking with the 5/1 street date.

    Meanwhile, on Tokunation, someone from another state saw them on a shelf, went to buy one, and they too had a can not sell until 5/1. He told them Walmart is already selling them, so the guy overrid the date and sold it to him. Meanwhile my Target and online guest services proclaimed that those can not be overridden. F@#king lies.

    So if I dontd find Lord Zedd before then, at least I know when to get him. Watch they don't put them out that day and they refuse to look in the back, mine never looks in the back or if they do "it could be anywhere as it's not assigned to a shelf in the back, most likely still on a pallet"

    I hope I find him elsewhere, then I can use the card to get SS Jetfire since those aren't flying off shelves.

    Nothing to report in my area. Both my Walmarts restocked Siege Wave 2 Deluxes, Wave 1 Voyager, and SS wave with Cogman in it.

    I was told the same thing at the Allentown Target over the weekend. I asked the guy to scan the tag, and he said they have them, but they're street dated.

    I swear Lord Zedd was up again for pre-order on Hasbro Pulse last night, but I didn't go for it. Probably should have.

    I checked earlier today and sold out, but the figures do not look like they're up for pre-order anymore.

    I did notice that SS-38 Optimus Prime is available so maybe they do get restock on some items. Still, getting Zedd is going to be tricky.

    I currently have him on Pre-Order through GameStop but they charge $3 more than regular retail, then add in shipping and tax, it ends up becoming nearly $35 for 1 figure.

    I don't mind paying a little more but if I could get him cheaper I will. Goldar being an exclusive, well they have me by the balls on that one.

    Yeah, I just posted in the PR thread about how I'm not sure I should even open this can of worms. Might just stick with the zords and morphers.

    Yeah, he was available again for pre-order for most of yesterday. It took all I could not to grab him and Tommy. I really don’t want to go down that rabbit hole.

    Not me, the minutes I saw the prototype for Tommy, I sold all my Legacy figures, which we're slowly becoming crap because... Bandai of America and was anticipating these.

    I didn't watch every show, but I have both American and Japanese adaptions of our MMPR, and even some later shows like SPD... Still hoping they make a more mature Netflix show or even an Anime.

    So to me, there would be nothing cooler than having a shelf or two full of rainbow colored warriors.

    I wonder how they'll handle role play items. One thing Bandai of America did well was the legacy weapons and Morphers. Those I hung onto. The helmets were crap. Lol.

    Unfortunately, between these, and Super 7 possibly making Snake Mountain, my TF collecting is going to have to go on the back burner so I may be limiting myself to a 3P and MP goodie here and there, but regular store bought items are going to have to go bye bye for now.

    Besides, after getting TE-01 Prime... I really don't think anything else will come along that can top that anytime soon.

    Popped into the Moon Twp Walmart since I was in the area. Wow. Tiny TF section. Studio Series deluxes, G1 OP, and the dinky action masters. That's it. Not a lot of empty pegs or shelf spaces...no space at all.

    YMMV obviously but I found 2 Bot Bot 5-pacls on clearance for $5 at the North Atherton Wal-Mart in State College.

    These were my first Bot Bots and I love them and this was probably a mistake.
