    found some of those evergreen transformers at Walgreens but I'm not sure what classification they belong to

    they cost 9.99 (Grimlock, Optimus, Megatron present...assume there is a Bumblebee too in the assortment) and are around six inches tall and Grimlock comes packaged with his dino head and torso halves separated

    they aren't these:
    Transformers Authentics Bravo Grimlock At US Retail

    but I thought they were interesting enough (and much better value than the tiny legends scaled ones for $6.99-also BB, Meg, Op, Starsm,Grim) so I picked them up..

    did some looking around and they are the Authentics Alpa assortment
    Transformers Authentics "Alpha" 7-Inch Figures Out At US Retail - Transformers News - TFW2005

    and Rainmakers are really sticking on the shelves now, as I see them at pretty much any Target I go to

    Checked all the Walgreens in Fremont, no Ratchets. Plenty of Siege wave 3 deluxes though. :(

    so far based on the posts in some of the other threads on this forum and judging by the scalper listings on ebay, Siege Ratchet seems to have some norcal Walgreens already. Still waiting on a socal sighting...

    Nothing to report for Pleasanton Walgreens, all they had were the small Authentics.

    So I drove to 4 different Walgreens and finally found Siege Ratchet. 813AC10C-354F-456C-97B0-ADCDD4839AA5.jpeg 082E384D-91A3-4A4A-9918-5BCDBA35B1C6.jpeg The driving was so worth it, haha. Found this at McKee Walgreens. And so far, the four Walgreens, being Landess, Capitol, Story, and McKee, all had Obi-Wan for those who are interested in this figure.

    I was really hoping Ratchet would hold off for another month. I’ve already spent way too much this month on SW, TF, and ML. Alas the hunt must begin.

    And I have to find Yavin Leia too.
