Found a lone Ratchet at a Walgreens by my job, but not in the regular section. It was on the Marvel endcap. Scooped that, a marvel legends Dani Moonstar, and some halloween candy up. Then the cashier was like "wow you're spending a bunch of money, let me help you out". Scanned a coupon and I got like $8 off. Hunt successful!!

 

the wg nearest my house only had a red alert and some cyber battalion stuff, but went to another one not too far away and they had two ratchets. i bought one and i like it better than ironhide. biggest thing other than deco and accessories is the flaps that make kibble on his legs actually seem to tab in and stay tabbed in properly. on my ironhide they just hang and flap around. not a big deal but i definitely prefer them to tab in. now i just need to decide if i should buy the toyhax set for ratchet. i would mainly get it for the red crest on his head, red crosses for shoulders, and stuff to make his lightbar look nicer. definitely not interested in labels to cover up the clear blue windshield.

eta: should probably mention this is in Michigan, north suburbs of detroit area.

 

Been to five walgreens. Found none. I swear for the next exclusives, I'm just going to order from Asia or an ebay scalper. I'd probably spend as much in gas driving around as the scalper mark up looking for them.

 

Canada's a good choice too. Because the exclusives are only spread through three stores (EB Games, Walmart, and Toys R Us), it's easier to find them up there.

 

Remember everyone, Walgreens locations get ONE truck a week. Many stores got their truck earlier in the week before Ratchet was being sighted. Every store thats getting it should get it by this time next week. Ask your local store what day they get their truck if you want to.

 

The Walgreens here get 2 a week. Tuesdays & Fridays

 

One thing I will note after messing with Ratchet. Seems the panels on his legs aren't popping off nearly as much as they did on Ironhide? Not sure if that was fixed on Ironhide but mine was an early run (First batch Pulse got), and those panels pop off all the time.

 

Damn of course when Ratchet is coming into stock is when my Walgreens is shutting down

Two reasons to be sad about it now

 

I noticed that too. You got me thinking about if Ironhide did get fixed in later batches?? Also my Ratchet has a loose waist joint but it's all good!!!

 

My Ratchet's waist is also a bit loose, but it's nothing too big.

 

It’s most noticeable in Medical Bay mode, where it wants to twist out of alignment when I’m trying to get everything lined up. But I don’t plan to have it in that mode very often.

 

Finally success.

 

None here in WI.
Seriously, I will pay someone cost to grab me a Ratchet..
I know he's 19.99, and will gladly pay you for him.
I REALLY want this guy.

 

Can anyone get zoolert to work? For the life of me I cannot figure out what number you are supposed to put in.

 

Same.  

Hoping he will show up on walgreens.com soon and that plenty will be available.

 

Saw a few of him this morning. I grabbed one for a board member. I really have no interest in the figure but the could help out to folks.

There were 5 at a Walgreens in Springfield, Mo this morning. And 3 of the obi-Wans as well. I hate scalpers, so I resisted the urge to buy a few

I did the same when Studio Series Thundercracker was released as a Toys R Us exclusive, awhile back.

I like helping others, when I can.

 

Went to the Walgreens that I frequent more...



Any one in Staten Island NY need one? There’s 2 left.

 

Well, I didn't get a Siege Ratchet from Walgreens (closest is an hour and a half away), but I did secure one from a seller for cost and shipping!  

I love the TFW2005 community!
