    Well, Popfinder's saying he's in practically every richmond target, so when he DOES pop on shelves, if not immediately, he's not gonna be hard to find.

    I picked up a WFC Astrotrain from the Manassas Ross if anyone is looking/interested in it. It was hidden in with the dolls on one of the tables. If it was stashed the stasher needs to up their game.

    He will not be popping up till sometime next month. Even if he hits the shelves early it will most likely trip the street date in the registers. Then it comes down to luck on whether you walk out of the store with it.

    Sorry for the double post, but, honestly, I'm considering dropping my pre-oder. I hate this dang auto-pre-charge thing Target does and I'd rather just free up the money right now.

    Considering the numbers this guy is clearly arriving in, I feel like I'm safe waiting for the street date. I'd save on shipping anyway.

    FYI. Anyone looking for ER Deluxe wave 2 be sure to hit up your Aldi’s. Fair lakes had three untouched cases for 17.99. I took two of the base guy and two of the Allicons. Lots left.

    Yeah. I caved in and picked up 2 more Alicons at the Parham Aldi’s. I was originally going to stick to 3 total, but 5 seems like the right number - it needs to feel like there are more Alicons than Hot Rod and Kup can handle.

    So no mention of runabout yet? I guess we've got targets that actually pay attention to the street date stuff, dang. Maybe I'll go ahead and get an alicon at Aldis then.

    I got the last Alicon at the Manassas Aldis. There are still 3 airwaves, 3 arcees and 2 smokescreens

    Aldi Annandale off Backlick Rd has 4 each Arcee and Airwave. Allicons and Smokescreen were all gone.
    The Kingstown Alexandria Aldi (in the old TRU space) has three sets, now minus one Allicon.

    Merrifield Aldi has almost 3 full cases of ER wave 2 Deluxes. I grabbed a Smokescreen, but there's still like at least 5 of each figure.

    I picked up Fasttrack at the Dulles Target and Sunstreaker, Trailbreaker, and Runamuck at the Sterling Target yesterday. Unfortunately, they were the only ones there. But they are starting to show up in this area. Also - have I completely missed the boat on the Judges in stores? I never saw any around the area and don't really want to pay the upcharge on Amazon.

    I picked up a single damaged box judge from the Dulles Landing Walmart last month. It is the only one I have seen in the wild. I ordered three from BBTS when they went up for preorder knowing it would be a challenge to find in stores (highly sought after equals scalper bait). I sold the one I found to another board member. Not sure what happened to the Judge/Megatron wave but it sure fizzled out fast.

    As in all three stores or just one and which one if that is the case? I checked all three of them on Wednesday and they just gave me a look of like what are you talking about when I asked them if they got any.

    Isn’t that just normal “end of a line” stock issues?

    Picked up 4 Allicons from the Liberia Ave Manassas Aldie. Runabout has the dreaded street date at the register. Had 4 in hand and was denied. Not trying the scan the older product for the newer product as apparently it is now a class 3 felony to do so; an employee doing it is still fine as it is them overriding the system.
