    Grabbed the lone Bluestreak at Eagan Walgreens off Cliff. @einhazard has first dibs, otherwise it'll be up for grabs if someone wants to come to Eagan.

    If he doesn’t take it, I’ll take it off your hands sometime next week.

    Just got Bluestreak at the Walgreens off of West Lake Street between Minneapolis and St Louis Park. They haven't out them on the shelf yet so you may have to ask them to get you one out of the back.

    Did they give you any idea if there are any more back there?

    No, I didn't think to ask :/
    Seems like they may sit in back for a while, but I guess assume they don't have many.

    Does anyone here have Gigapower Guttur? I’ve watched reviews but the only die-cast pointed out is the spine section of the stegasour. Is that it?

    Ironically, Bloomington Target once again had Topspin and soundwave, but no Cliffjumper. XD (Many, MANY leadfoots)

    As for other sightings:
    Bloomington Target: MANY Earthrise Megatron, Quintesson, Cyberverse Skullcruncher, MPM Ratchet
    Edina Target: MANY ER Megs, a buncha snapdragons, Cyberverse skullcruncher, MPM Ratchet, and a ER Smokescreen that came home w/me.
    Bloomington Walgreens next to Walmart and the other off Old Shakopee had nada, unless you want a bunch of Siege mirages and impactor. The former had those in abundance.

    I got this feeling we're gonna see ER Megs hanging out for a WHILE. I'm waiting on the G2 version of that mold from pulse, and I'm not gonna buy the normal once since I already have 3 different versions from Siege. Like... maybe cool it on that mold, Hasbro.

    I'm glad that the ER 'Datsun' mold is different enough from the Siege one to feel unique. They're both good, but I'm glad it doesn't feel like the same mold as much as it looks. Looking forward to Barricade since I thought he was the stand-out one from Siege.

    Found a lone Bluestreak at a Walgreens near me after searching five others. Now just needed to find a Smokescreen, Arcee, Sunstreaker, Trailbreaker, and Runamuck.

    The one in Coon Rapids along University and Egret.

    Otherwise, if anyone collected G.I.Joe Classified, Northtown Walgreens had a bunch of wave 2 Cobra Commanders and Gung Ho.

    Last night Walgreens on Old Shakopee and France had no Bluestreaks, but they did have the Thanksgiving Dinner candy corn. Do yourself a favor and don't get it. 3 of the flavors are disgusting, one is "edible", and the last 2 are ok and pretty good. Keep in mind I really like candy corn normally.

    Bought a Bluestreak in.... I wanna say Vadnais Heights? Just one there. Seems like stores are only getting one each.

    Found the whole Sunstreaker wave at Lino Lakes Target. Might be more in back.

    I also have an extra Smokescreen and Allicon if anyone needs them!

    Just to compare notes, is anybody else who went through Target for their Overload PO still seeing it pushed back? Just approved another for Nov. 4, which makes it about a month late now.

    As someone who also enjoys candy corn, that's all the warning I need. Thank you.

    Shakopee Target had one Earthrise Cliffjumper as of a few hours ago, for whoever it was that was looking. Nothing from the new wave.
