    He was originally only shipped one per store and people were thinking he was super rare, so scalpers were grabbing him. Now stores get cases of 3 and the hype died down.

    I feel like 82nd Walmart in Clackamas hasn’t had new stock since February at this point. The shelves are almost completely empty.

    No Netflix Transformers, just a pile of What looked like Earthrise Hoist and some G1 Astrotrain reissues.

    A friend let me know Eastport Walmart has deluxe Netflix. One Sideswipe, Hound and Chromia and that’s it.

    I went to Sherwood Walmart and they had a whole case. I grabbed the only Scrapface and one Mirage, and they had everyone else left including another Mirage. No other size classes.

    Question, when you say case, did you actually pull them out of the case?

    I only ask because thought I read somewhere that Scrapface was short packed.

    Oh, I wasn’t super clear because I wanted to quickly get that out. They had 8 on the shelf, so a full case, and only one Scrapface who I bought (along with a Mirage) so he definitely seems to be one per case.

    I left:

    1 Mirage
    1 Chromia
    2 Hound
    2 Sideswipe

    Is what I think was left. I didn’t dig through the rest, just glanced at the side of the boxes quickly. Definitely 1 of each of the above and no more Scrapface.

    Saw the big aisle display at Johnson Creek and Eastport Plaza Walmarts. Lots of Netflix and ER deluxes. Johnson Creek has no ER Starscreams. Neither store has any Hotlinks and I grabbed the last Netflix Megatron from Eastport Plaza.

    Yup. Pretty plentiful! Only one that seems hard to find is Scrapface.

    Glad I could save you the gas!

    Anyone know of Scrapmetal can still be found anywhere? I know I saw one maybe a month ago but I’m worried I missed the boat. If I did in fact miss out, does anyone happen to have a spare?

    Still 3 there along with a Netflix Megatron and Hotlink. Luckily I only paid $10 over retail for Hotlink so I’m not too salty, still trying to go out as little as possible, haha.

    A set of retro Ghostbusters too if anyone needs, just the four ‘busters. Cards were in great shape.

    Another store exclusive I’ll have to buy from a scalper since I can’t make it there the minute they hit the shelf. They definitely didn’t have any yesterday, now they are sold out in a matter of hours, lol.

    When I called, the worker told me they put 6 out total today at Mall 205. Jantzen also got in 3 today and sold out.

    Ah well, that’s collecting for ya.

    Apparently there are three of the Seeker set at Mall 205 Target but the employees don’t know where the case is, so if you go looking then good luck.

    Wasn’t a total strikeout though. I scored an Earthrise Prime. They have plenty more Primes and Astrotrains, as well as all other size classes. Best stocked Target I’ve seen in a while.

    If anyone is willing to pick up an extra seeker two pack and ship to my rural Oregon address, PM me.

    I can PayPal you cost, shipping, and finder fee... $100 reasonable?

    Just got back from there while getting some essentials. They're out, and apparently all of the Targets around are current OOS. Oh well. I'm confident they'll be plentiful like the Rainmakers were. You couldn't go to any Target without seeing them.
