    Yeah Walgreens pulled it down yesterday. Hopefully it will come back up, or start showing up in stores eventually.

    I don't know if this is the same at every Walgreens, but...

    I visited my Walgreens last week to search for Bluestreak. Only thing they had was two Red Alerts. Went back again yesterday and the two Red Alerts were still there, along with two Bluestreaks.

    When I worked at Walgreens (disclaimer: this was 15 years ago) we typically didn't get cases of materials. We would get plastic totes for inventory and the shelves would be filled that way.

    So I'm wondering if Bluestreak was only shipped two per store so far. I'm guessing there are more on the way based on how Skywarp and Thundercracker were sold out at Target for some time but then came back in stock at stores and the Target website.

    Why would they pull it from the website?
    Even though it sold out, if they left the listing up, at least I could still use it to check the stock of my local stores. Now there's no way to tell where they are.
    Poop.

    Despite the FedEx shipping estimate, I don't think my package is arriving today. It's been sitting on 'Label Created' since yesterday.

    Fear not, more than likely Walgreens will restock Bluestreak enough for everyone to have a chance at getting him.

    The stock it is checking is regular ER Deluxe, not just Bluestreak.

    Yesterday, while the page was still working, it showed Bluestreak being in stock at the store closest to me*. I went there and the only transformers on the shelf were Hound and a few of the evergreen line. I asked an employee, and she told me the truck would be there today, so I checked again today. No change. I'm assuming it's a case of the in stock listings counting Hound, despite what the webpage itself showed. I hope the page goes back up soon, and long enough for me to actually order, since it seems a bit more reliable.

    *Also the only one in my part of the city, since the old closest one to me closed, as did at least one other (which got replaced by a fireworks store ...)

    Your order is waiting to be picked up by the carrier.
