    I'm also one of the many looking for them. Why did they have to release when I'm tight on cash?

    Brickseek is basically useless, these days. I’m looking, too! I’ll try to grab some for everyone, if I get lucky.

    Found 6 Ratchets at my Walgreens today and there's four remaining. If anyone's still looking for one, lmk.

    Walgreens on Curry Ford has one Ratchet left, along with three Marvel Legends Moonstars. in fact, there were a number of Walgreens exclusive toys in a nice endcap.

    Sodo as well as East Colonial Target have no Rocksteady/Bebop and none of the employees seemed to know what i was talking about. East Colonial does have one Target exclusive (different hats) Gremlins carolers set.

    As of 9:30 last night, Target in Port Orange still had one Spy Patrol 2 pack and one Battle Squad pack, and two Soundwaves.

    Burlington on US-19 at Clearwater Mall has the Bumblebee Studio Series 2 Packs from Target. I think they were $16-$18

    As of yesterday, at the Oldsmar Walmart, there are tons of the 35th anniversary cell-shaded Optimus Primes and Megatrons. Tons. Mostly on an endcap, but some where they normally are in the aisle.

    Went to return a cel-shaded Megatron to the Rinehart Walmart (the Siege mold just isn’t doing it for me; I think 3P is slowly ruining me for official toys) and checked out the usually-barren toy aisle on a lark. Came away with the single Apeface they had on the shelf. There’s nothing left here worth driving over for, but I figured you would all want to know that these are beginning to show up around here.

    I think that is the first sighting at retail. Should be a news credit.

    Looking for help from my FL brothers...

    If any finds an extra Cyberverse Warrior Hot Rod, I’m good for it.

    Thanks, and happy holidays.

    Well I hope it was you who grabbed all the ones at Hodges, Southside Regency and Marsh Landing, bc of the FB collecting group someone was told by an employee that a guy snapped up all the B&R sets. I just grabbed a Foot Soldier set myself cuz, y'know army-building

    Just curious - what's everyone's consensus on Walmarts to skip? I've found that the Daytona Beach (no G1 slots), NSB (no G1 either), Deltona, and Seminole Town Center ones are almost never worth the stop. The last time I got anything at Daytona was March; NSB - never ever; Deltona - beginning of the year when the G1s hit clearance (and a PAIN to get to); and STC has to be almost a year as well.

    Thankfully Targets seem to be pretty consistent with keeping new stuff.

    Nope! I imagine this set will be as impossible as any other. Half the Targets seem to not even order the TMNT sets, and the other half barely order a case and they’re scooped by scalpers. I think I saw one Krang set and two Foot soldier sets once.. these guys are basically going to not exist at retail, I fear.

    Anyone in Orlando looking for a Trypticon, the Ross on Semoran and Lee Vista near the airport has two.
