    So quick update to this story. Didn’t end up getting it because they wouldn’t let me. When they scanned it, the computer told the clerk it could not be sold until 7/28. Anyone ever heard of that?

    That's crazy. If it was on the shelves then they should have to sell it. Not cool Target

    If you can, take another siege voyager up to self check out, and scan that instead to beat the street date. I did that.

    Snagged Springer this morning in Houston at the Walmart off 249 and Spring Cypress.
    Figure is really good - and while the ankles are technically looser than I would like - mine has no issues standing. The transformation is pretty good too for a triple changer.

    Snagged a Brunt and Red Alert at Wal-Mart on 45 and Louetta. One Brunt left on the pegs.

    I’ve had a similar case at Walmart when POTP Battletrap came out. Only difference was the computer was saying “unknown item, sell date TBD”. And it was clearly placed out with the other legends class figures. But the employee not caring simply found a legends figure that happened to be sitting on top of voyagers and decided to say that this itty bitty little thing was somehow also a voyager. So they charged me a voyager price for each one. I just paid it and went to another Walmart by my office with pics of the legends rack they had set up with the same Battletrap figures to prove price and they refunded my difference. It’s ridiculous the amount of trouble you have to go through to purchase something.

    The amount of apathy that pours out of Walmart is amazing at times. I remember I bought the anniversary mp01 Optimus from a late night employee for 20 dollars because he didn't care enough to look at the sku's when it had been misplaced when merchandise.

    I’m over by Stone Oak, and I spotted a lone Refraktor at the Walmart off 1604/281, however there were ALOT of Springer. As for Red Alert/Brunt, there were more of those at the Walmart off Cibolo Valley Drive as of yesterday.

    I went there this morning and found nothing new.

    I also hit the Walmart on Business 249 in Tomball and there was a lone Brunt. I left it there.

    Not my day to find new stuff.

    I went to the Cibolo location and found one red alert and 1 Refraktor. I still need 2 more refraktors for camera mode. So anyone else know where I can find 2 more here in San Antonio?

    Brickseek isn’t showing any siege wave 3 figures. Any other method y’all use in finding these figures. I live in San Antonio and still need 2 more Refraktors. Any help would be awesome.

    Honestly just the ole fashion paying each location a visit is all I’ve been doing. Brickseek hasn’t been much help for me as of late so I just check whatever locations are along the way to whatever errand I’m running. I just know that the flow of things is typically once sightings in Dallas or Austin are reported, San Antonio will start getting them starting around New Braunfels and that Cibolo area, and trickling southwards along 1604 and so on and so forth. That’s from what I’ve experienced.
