    I had expected more sales on wave 1 at this point, but I am sure things will get more saturated by fall. I already preordered the other waves.

    I'm not sure wave 1 has been fully distributed yet. I know I haven't seen the deluxes around here yet.

    I've still never seen Earthrise leaders at brick and mortar.

    Shoutout to the four Siege Shockwaves at every Target in a twenty-mile radius!

    Sure thing, just as soon as they learn how to sell toys without this "styles may vary" nonsense. I already have an Astrotrain.

    I think he means actually walk into the store.

    Curbside only restrictions are in place. It's not worth the trip if they don't even bother to get online orders right.

    You said B&M stores... Physical stores. Lots of people have seen the leaders at their local Best Buy. Doesn't mean they don't have it, but I see what you mean in your latest post.

    When I did curbside at my local Best Buy, the person working was willing to bring out what they had on the shelf so I could select which figure I wanted. YMMV.

    FWIWL saw them at Walmart this week for the first time. (along with 4 NF Ultra Magnus's and they had a couple more cases of him on top: I think that guys destined to be just a terrible shelfwarmer)

    I called first and had them tell what they had so that I could order the appropriate quanty of items. I got Cliff jumper, Wheeljack, and Grapple at Best Buy that way

    I imagine. Hard to pick up a toy technically aimed at kids at that price without even being able to see the figures inside.

    You might try placing the order and then calling the store.

    I bought Earthrise Optimus at B&M Target before (gestures vaguely) all this happened. Saw an Astrotrain as well but already had Siege.

    Haha yeah, no offense, but I'm with you on that :lol 

    Almost nothing I try to loo into on there is fruitful. I'm not even sure if its actually available anywhere.
