    On a whim, I went to Brockport, Albion, and Batavia WalMarts.
    Not a single NF toy of any size. :eek:  :( 

    BUT...

    On an endcap just inside the entrance at Brockport, some much-needed PPE!!! :eek: 

    (Remember, I'm among those still working)

    Shocked the display wasn't picked clean, shocked I didn't see anyone else in the store carrying any...even the cashier who rang me up was shocked and asked where I found them! :eek:  :D 

    $30 for a pack of 50, limit two packs, this isn't ending any time soon, so hell yes I grabbed two!!!

    Has anyone been able to track down Hotlink in Albany yet? My wife checked the Glenmont Walmart for me yesterday, no luck. They did have the Netflix deluxe class figures though.

    Picked up Soundwave at Henrietta Walmart. Thanks for the tip.

    Non-TF Walmart is now carrying Ghostbusters role-play items. I've found the PKE Meter and the Ghost Trap. Both are $20. The trap seems worth $20 but the meter seems like it should be $10.

    I think without that SKU working, it’s a crap shoot every time we look. Mostly crap.

    Yeah, going back to Sunday, there are only two stores left in Monroe County that I haven't been to at least once :(  They're pretty far from each other, but I may head out and check both today... (for those in the area, Webster and Dewey)

    As for the masks I found, WalMart's SKU is 509796009

    Sadly Hotlink was already gone, but I found Megatron and the Deluxes at Rotterdam Wal-Mart.

    I picked up Scrapface and Mirage, but left the others.

    I saw the Netflix deluxe figures (No Chromia or Scrapface) in person for the first time at the Glenmont Walmart. Mirage looks awesome. It was hard to pass on, but I hopefully have him on the way. No voyagers or Ultra Magnus.

    Going off Brickseek, I’ve noticed almost every Ultra Magnus in my area is now Out Of Stock. Never saw him on the shelves.

    Found & purchased the only Hotlink at Herkimer Walmart. One Megatron remains. I also wouldn’t take too much stock in Brickseek. They listed Ultra Magnus Out Of Stock, yet has two on the shelf! Also two Sideswipe, one Chromia & one Hound.

    I just checked yesterday, both Eastgreenbush Walmart and Target haven't bothered to restock in a month.

    Not sure if at all possible, but I’ve been desperately looking for the clearanced $13 G1 Soundwave in my Plattsburgh Walmart for a while, but we get no reissues ever. Would anyone be willing to grab one for me for cost plus shipping? Hopefully I can return the favor some day.

    Surprisingly, one Hotlink left at New Hartford Walmart with an almost full set of Netflix deluxe. Only Mirage was missing.

    They disappeared rather quickly in my area. Must’ve been 28 or so at Utica Friday for $30. Dropped to $13 Saturday & are all gone. Using Brickseek, I see the closest to you with stock is St. Albans, VT

    Shocked to see it there. Usually Megatron hangs on for a day or two. Non TF, all area stores had nothing laid out for Star Wars Day. Just a giant Scoob display in the toy aisle.

    agreed, I was able to grab one, before they disappeared, but couldn't find the tapes. Like people said, they were regular price one day, clearanced and gone the next. And Brickseek and Walmarts website stock numbers are off, unless they are hidden somewhere. Pretty sure the ebay scalpers got to them before we did......
