    The Target.com pages for Scorponok and Sky Lynx will show if the stores in your area sell them. When you click on “check other stores” beneath the “stock status”, it’ll either say:
    • In stock
    • Limited stock
    • Out of stock
    • Not sold at this store
    It’s been pretty accurate with regards to that in my experience.

    I never saw a Scorponok on the shelves but a bunch of other locals did and bought them. I grabbed the only Sky Lynx I ever saw out in Winchester; since then nothing.

    If you are looking for a Sky Lynx local stores show stock on Popfindr. Fair Lakes shows one in stock, Manassas has one, and Gainesville shows two.

    Dumfries and Gainesville both show one Scorponok in stock.

    I only ever saw Sky Lynx at a big box store once, at Mosaic Target. I never saw Scorponok, although I did see shelf tags for him at one or two of the local Targets.

    Last time I was at Victory Comics in Falls Church they had two Sky Lynxes (I didn't check the prices, but it's probably comparable to what it would cost online including the shipping).

    Hillcrest Target had 1 Leader Overload, who I snagged. Also 4 Seeker 2-Packs and two MPM Starscreams.

    Don’t forget to price match Overload to Target.com!

    EDIT: So they made a big ado at checkout over it not being in the system yet, despite it clearly being on Target.com. I got it, but they rang up a random voyager in its place. Be careful!

    I have bought a few Overloads in the past couple of weeks. All you have to do is use the webpage and use the DCPI listed on it. Once they punch it in, the system changes it to the 087-16-6608 from 087-06-6493. Who ever built the webpage put the wrong DCPI number on it and wrong price. The register does not recognize the barcode so it gives the "Item not found" message. When the DCPI on the website is manually entered it does not recognize it and uses the other one for some reason. Win for us.

    As expected my online order for MPM-10 come in a hilariously oversized box with insufficient padding and has a damaged box. Glad I picked that one up. I'll be returning the damaged box one to Chantilly Target sometime this weekend unless someone wants to pick it up directly from me.

    I returned my defective MPM-10 to the Manassas Target this morning. If you see one on the shelf make sure it is not my defective one they put back on the shelf.

    Returned my crushed box mpm-10 to Chantilly today, if you don’t care about boxes. Never opened it so it’s still brand new.

    2 MPM Starscreams were at Christiansburg Target yesterday. Nothing worth mentioning at Christiansburg Wal-Mart.

    If anyone needs a Doubledealer ($50) or Snapdragon ($30) let me know. I got doubles of each when I placed my orders a while back and they should be here Tuesday.

    Is there a realistic timeframe when wave 2 deluxes are going to drop? I wanted to get airwave, but any preorders are sold out or triple in price for something that inevitably be out at brick and mortar.

    Midlothian Walmart had 3 Lightning Alpha figure sets and 4 Lightning Morphers. Nothing else of interest there.

    Now for the odd, I was at the Midlothian HobbyTown USA and saw Kamen Rider Drivers. They had a Diend Driver, a Lost Driver, and a Decade Driver. It was a very odd find. Sorry for the sideways picture I use a flip phone.

    Picked up Leadfoot at the Chantilly Target this morning. None left. According to popfindr most of the local inventory is in Fairfax and Loudoun Counties. Most showing 2 or 3 in stock. Brickseek once again is useless. I did not have any issues purchasing at the self rung registers.

    Paik's crushed box MPM-10 is still there.

    So it looks like they were saving the Quintesson Pit Of Judgment preorders for PulseCon later this month...

    And all the hell it is going to be to get a pre-order/order in on the website when it is getting pounded into the ground. Hopefully they have a large surplus of the pit for order or it is going to get nasty.
