    The Coneheads were up for pre-order for a month before they sold out (though they did end up cancelling a few of those pre-orders).

    Huh.

    Moral of the story when it comes to exclusives, some of you need to take a nice trip to a nice Indian reservation called "Quityabitchin".

    Mine will show up this Saturday. If I wanted to find it in the wild it would take 3 months before they start popping up. They just got Avatar Aang in.

    Mine shipped too! Now all I need is Prowl to finish the Datsun brothers! Man I do hate that they make in show characters exclusives though. I wish they would make comic and you only characters exclusives but oh well I guess.

    I think you misunderstood my post, I wasn't at all complaining about not getting one (I already have one on the way thanks to an amazing board member:D  but I wouldn't mind eventually getting a second). I actually don't even have a problem at all with exclusives (I have all of them, including all of Amazons). I was only commenting on the fact that I didn't see a limit on how many could be purchased through the Walgreens website, which would in theory make it easy for scalpers & bots to clean them out. But I know now that the limit is 4. ;)

    Unfortunately I was super busy at work and didnt get to secure one. I will have to wait for their retail arrival in NYC. Fortunately there are a million Walgreens in NYC

    I didn't see the ship to store free option or else I would of ordered ugh! But Walgreens said they are getting 4 Siege figures this week at end of week so I'm hoping these are the Bluestreaks! Because they been getting mad exclusives lately but I'm guessing at SOME point I'll be able to get least one. :) 

    However I wish I went the online ship to store option. It was totes available too... Oh well I found WFC wave 3 today at Walmart along with Cyberverse deluuxe

    If it's anything like last year's Siege Ratchet, there should be plenty of Bluestreaks to go around from Walgreen's.

    I have never once seen any of their exclusive Transformers in stores so I doubt I'd ever get this unless it goes back in stock online and I'm not at work when that happens....

    Bluestreak removed from Walgreen's site now

    Within last hour. It said it was in stock at multiple stores and I went and checked none there and no spot for them. Never said sold out either.

    Yep. Worked all day as well and missed it. Not much confidence I will see it in stores either. (Never saw Ratchet). Seriously reconsidering this hobby at this point. Over half of this line are now all exclusives, and I am not sure if its even worth the effort and aggravation anymore.

    I just clicked the link and it says it’s “no longer in stock online”. It’s completely removed from the site now.

    Man, what a bummer. I also missed out. Happy for those who got it

    I was also a sucker. I saw that it said in-stock in two stores near me, so I biked over and they didn't have them. I knew it was too good to be true. The guy at the first store at least checked in the back for me to see if they were there

    Mine shipped . . .

    . . . But apparently I got charged three times during the time Walgreens' website kept rejecting my card before I just checked out with paypal.
