    So last night, I was expecting my Alicon from Amazon. If elt bad because of the weather and the roads, but you can't tell 'em to just 'deliver it tomorrow', right? Even so, the driver made it to my road, drove about halfway to my place, then TURNED AROUND AND LEFT. Like I could see him turn around FROM MY HOUSE. And then, to add insult to injury, the amazon map was like "You're the next stop!" as it tracked him driving aaaaaalll the way back to Eagan. XD
    Like it wouldn't have been annoying if the guy hadn't gotten to a point where he could see where the delivery was supposed to happen and went "....nah eff this" and left. I don't get the mentality of Amazon delivery drivers aside from the fact that Amazon's approach to business is 'eh, good enough.'
    Ah well. I'm sure it'll show up today.

    FYI, I haven't actually checked, but Walgreens' website says ER Bluestreak is in stock in a bunch of South metro locations.

    ME.

    Checked 50th and France, York Ave, and 66th street so far. Nothing. Maybe they’re still sitting in back.

    FINALLY found the wave two deluxes at target in woodbury, all four came home with me. Arcee isn't as bad as I was expecting, but Smokescreen is definitely the best of the bunch.

    It's too bad I didn't order one because all that's missing from this story is Amazon dropping an Alicon on my doorstep last night.

    Bizarre, I received my Allicon from Pulse last night, but they never sent a shipping email so I was taken by surprise

    Having just checked the walgreens on larpenteur, it sounds like Bluestreak is under the same product number as all of the war for cybertron deluxes, so if the website says he's in stock, it's not necessarily true.

    Dam, I wasn’t on until now and I missed out on the initial release. At least they are starting to be released.

    If anyone goes and finds two blue streaks can they grab one for me. I can pay someone through PayPal and can meet anywhere in the metro area. Please and Thank You.

    I went to two Walgreens that claimed Bluestreak was in stock this afternoon, but saw only Siege and Earthrise leftovers and gathered that he must be under the same number as them. Maybe anyway. I might check again tomorrow depending on the weather, but that's what I'd gather.

    Can't help but wonder if the figures people ordered on the website when they come in the mail will actually BE Bluestreak now though.

    The online orders should be fine. It's just store's inventory system that sees them as the same as any other deluxe figure. It's been like that since Brainstorm.

    I'm still trying to spot a SS Cliffjumper. I keep seeing everyone else in that wave, but never him.

    I think I might have seen one weeks ago at a Target, but I had a preorder that I promptly cancelled after watching a review on Youtube. It just look like a really bad figure from the review, which is too bad, since the pre-release pictures of it looked pretty great.

    I'm a sucker for cybetronian alt modes. And not the weak ones we got in Siege. XD I also liked Jeep bee so seeing how they changed him appeals to me.

    Walmarts have been getting that wave more frequently than Targets, for whatever that's worth. But I'll keep an eye out.
