    An announcement post release would be beyond redundant though, fans already know it’s been released

    Which ones? I don’t recall any Walgreens exclusives being made available at other retailers, let alone this soon after being released initially

    Were they msrp (or close to it) or marked up beyond the usual bbts type of markup? I know bbts got the Walgreens Emma Frost (thought you were specifically referring to transformers exclusives) but she had a markup which meant their stock was likely imported and not from Hasbro USA

    They are marked up, but not much. Approximately $5

    Good to know, then I guess it’s possible, I just wouldn’t expect it so soon after release

    didn't one of the old Walgreen's exclusives – Wreckgar maybe? – show up like a year later through the fan-channel sellers?

    I believe POTP Wreck-Gar and TR Brainstorm were available at BBTS, right?

    Not sure, I don't recall that one at least, but even then you're talking a year later. It's been a month (if that) since Bluestreak released. Expecting a wider release this soon is setting oneself up for disappointment.

    The one that BBTS carried was the Takara one (identical to the Hasbro Walgreens one). Not sure about other fan channels.

    Oh I know it won't see a wide release anytime soon or even at all. But I at least hope something is said and another round comes out. Like I said I would like another one for MIB. Also for anyone who missed out

    I don't have a problem with somebody wanting to buy two, one to display and one to keep in its box. It's the guy who monopolizes on EVERYTHING IN STOCK just so he can make like $5 more.

    Would you mind sharing the link to the retailer? I would be interested in buying from them.

    sure but I’m pretty sure they are sold out right now. I got mine from them back in September. I don’t know how often they restock and the shipping can be pricey coming from Taiwan.

    I completely missed when Bluestreak was online available to order, and every walgreens I've checked has had nothing. His page on their site is down so I can't even ask an associate for help. Any chance they will have more shipments, and also has this ever happened before? I hope they become available online again but I dont know if there's precedent or not.
