Crossgates Walmart had two Ledaer Primes and Astrotrains Confirmed Bestbuy has Earthrise. They have one Optimus. One astrotrain, ironworks, and hoist
Awesome! I can ignore them both even more! I also have a sneaking suspicion 35th Megatron will be joining them.
Quaker Crossing Target restocked their Micromasters and Battlemasters. There's a whole peg full of Smashdowns and there was one Soundbarrier, and I also snagged one of each of the Micromaster Patrols. No new Deluxes or up just yet.
There's currently a Grapple on the shelf at the Atlantic avenue Best Buy. And shelf tags for deluxes that have apparently been picked clean.
No one is sayng he's bad, he just appears to be shelf warming. And we can't really call who will be the big shelf warmer of Earthrise. It took Shockwave a repack for that to happen.
East GB had only one Leader Astrotrain but they were in the process of restocking toys so maybe give it a day. I've emailed Hasbro about potentially replacing my Wheeljack. In the meantime if someone finds ER Wheeljack near the capital district could they tag or dm me?
Found 2 G1 Rumble/Ravage sets in the clearance aisle at Gates Walmart. $5 each. But..... Some swapper got to them. Didn't notice until I got home. One package had Siege Laserbeak and Ravage in place of the G1 cassettes. The other had the proper cassettes. Then I noticed one package was missing Rumbles weapons and had Laserbeak's weapons in there. The other package had Ravages' weapons missing and had another set of Laserbeak weapons. Since the packages were already opened held together by tape, I got the proper weapons to make one set complete. Will have to take back the other set with the Siege guys. So Yay! I got a set for $5. Hope Walmart doesn't give me too much hassle about returning them (they'll think I swapped them. Grr). But even if they refuse. I probably have a G1 Laserbeak/Buzzsaw that could use the guns and $5 isn't a bad price for them. Guess it shows how good the Siege cassettes are that without a good look, they can be mistaken for G1 cassettes.
There was a lone Cliffjumper at the Best Buy at 86 in NYC. And Midtown Comics at Grand Central had a couple of the new ER car Micro Masters. (I still need those military bois!)
Work took me to the Northern and West side Rochester Targets and Walmart’s, here’s what I found: Webster has nothing. Irondequoit has nothing. Greece Best Buy has ER Astrotrain, Ironworks, and Starscream. Greece Target has 10+ ER Smashdowns. West Ridge Walmart has 7+ ER Grapples. Chili and Gates have nothing. Henrietta Target has Smashdown and Sound Barrier. Almost all Walmart’s have G1 Astrotrain if you still need him.
Found Smashdown in Target in Middletown, which means Ramp or whatever was in stock but sold out. Also had the other ER micromasters
Henrietta Target has a SS Scavenger if anyone is looking for one. SS Shockwave as well. Only the ER Smashdowns are left. I grabbed the only Soundbarrier that was there.
