    If you missed Doubledealer earlier, Warp 9 will have him today. They should still have spy patrol #3 too, so you can grab his partners at the same time.

    Saw the wave 10 voyager case at the Troy Walmart, so if you missed Blitzwing at Target, time to start hunting Walmarts. @Paladin

    The Sterling Heights Target still has 5 Leadfoot figures.

    Edit: Big Ben Comix also received wave 10 voyagers.

    Big Ben Comix has wave 10 deluxes. Saw multiples of all 3 for +$5.

    They also have a cheap MP10 with gold chrome and clear trailer for $50 used. I personally find the deco hideous.

    Throne of toys has Hubcap, in addition to spy patrol 3, exhaust, and grease pit for +$2.

    Allen Park is a little far for me in Clinton Township but it's good to hear that they're showing up slowly.

    Local buddy of mine asked me about getting rid of his loose beast wars figures. I only know g1 and tfprime so I had no idea what to tell him but if anyone has an interest in these or suggestions what he should be looking for or where to offload them hmu!

    Target.com is showing a lot of MI stores with Leadfoot as official street date has now passed.

    Of course, some of them are wrong, though.

    Scored MP Starscream, and Leadfoot at Woodhaven Target. Were the only two I saw. They did have a few Seeker two packs on the shelf though if anyone is still looking.

    Thanks for the info, I went by Throne of Toys yesterday and picked up a Hubcap and a Slitherfang. She said that they are expecting to get in some Skorponocks and Sky Lynx sometime later this month.

    Picked up Leadfoot today at Target...they even had him in a cute little pick up bag lol. I kinda like easy shopping :p 

    Walmart had some He-Man and a couple Skeletor...first I've seen them on the rack. And a few die cast packs of little G.I. Joe guys. Plus I got a Top Gun Maverick F/A-18E done in Maverick's blue and black scheme...just a little Matchbox thing but kinda cool to swoosh around the room :)

    I usually don't come across sticker shock in person these days. I'm used to seeing locally owned shops doing all sorts of mark-ups. Some of it is understandable.

    However, saw a SS Scrapmetal at Nerd Out that actually gave me sticker shock: $65 (+$45 over MSRP). Used to seeing stuff like that on eBay rather than in person.

    I wish I could remember which store I saw Scrapmetal at recently (one of the Target or Walmart stores still at under $20).

    Oak Park. It's actually a nice little store with a pretty decent used display case, but that sticker price was like 'whoa'. That was a targeted price hike. Other deluxe figures I saw were +$5 over.

    Sterling Heights Target still has a Leadfoot and a Cyberverse Deluxe Arcee. Troy Target is putting Leadfoot figures on the shelves today and more Snapdragons.

    Not a sighting but more of a heads up that Doublecrosser is showing up on both Coasts of the US, so he might be showing up soon so watch out for him!

    East Grand Rapids Target still has one MPM-10 Starscream, 2 Studio Series Leadfoot, 2 Earthrise Race Track Micromasters sets, and a bunch of Series 4 BotBot 8-packs. Didn't see anything else noteworthy among the usual shelfwarmers.
