    Who else is in that wave because I swear I saw a symbiote figure that wasn't Venom/Carnage/Venomized the other day at Eagan.

    It's Miles Morales Venomized, Gwen Stacy (Ghost Spider) Venomized, Carnage, the movie Venom, Phage, and Morbius.

    In other news. At around 2pm today, the Coon Rapids Target had 2 Trailbreakers, 2 Sunstreakers, and 2 Runamucks. The day after I got my order from BBTS...of course. You're welcome everyone that was looking for the wave 3 Earthrise deluxes. XP

    Two full cases of the Arcee/Alicon wave at Aldi in St. Louis Park by Knollwood Target. I bought one Alicon and the rest remain.

    1 Trailbreaker, 1 Runamuck, and 2 Sunstreakers still at Coon Rapids Target. I picked up the lone Fasttrack they had on shelf.

    For anyone curious, both SS Dino and Cybertronian Bee are available for pre-order at Target and fall under the BOGO.

    X-Spanse and Gigawatt also both count, but you can only put one of each in your cart.

    How close are you to Eagan? I still do the family shopping trip at least once a week so I can grab one if I see it. Unless that's a bit too far for you?

    I'm up in Coon Rapids, so that's a bit of a drive for me normally. And so far it seems Target stores have not had either Phage or Morbius anywhere. I found Morbius at Gamestop though...suddenly Gamestop has had a lot of Power Rangers and Marvel Legends stuff. No Transformers though.

    Speaking of Transformers... Check your Walmarts!

    I found the Netflix War For Cybertron Trilogy deluxe wave 2 figures today at both Andover and Blaine (along Highway 65) Walmarts.

    Bumblebee, Elita-1, Impactor, Wheeljack, and Red Alert.

    I picked up one Bumblbee and Elita-1 from the Andover store, but plenty were still left.

    Now I just need to find a Soundwave and I'm good on those exclusives.

    Grabbed BB and E1 from Blaine. Saw another fella there (one of you guys?) looking for same. Not sure how many you bought, so I don’t know what the stock is there now.

    Swung over to Andover and they were already cleaned out of BB and E1. Plenty of the rest, of course.

    That was me in Blaine! No Elita or Bumblebee left, unless they have more stock in the back.

    Thanks MST3KFan! Raced over to Andover WM and picked up the last BB and Elita. Looks like Wheeljack will be the next shelf warmer, they had like 6+ of him. WM was a zoo, but worth it to get my first new-in-box Deluxe Bumblebee .

    EDIT: Andover Target had one of the Neca TMNT Tryceraton/Roadkill Rodney packs. It was down the same isle as transformers instead of the collector section. I gave up on the line after missing Metalhead and Leatherhead figures but a heads up to anyone around looking for this particular pack.

    AV Walmart has 1 ER Smokescreen and a couple ER Megs. Rest were the usual suspects.

    Shakopee Walmart had a bunch of Megs and Hot Links, but that's it for Netflix guys. One Alicon as well, and then a lot of other noise.

    Scary Walmart on American Blvd in Bloomington had two new cases of those Netflix bots getting ready to go out on the floor tonight.

    Man, I'd swing over there, but the constant police presence kinda turns me off to the idea. XD

    The constant police presence is the only reason I give that Walmart the time of day.
    If there wasn't a police officer stationed there all day, I wouldn't go.

    Thank you for the heads up! I was there at 7am and grabbed a Bumblebee. Still one BB left, along with plenty of the rest.

    You need to contact them. I ordered mine on July 24th and received it 10 days ago. Hit me up if you want the order number to provide them for reference.

    Nothing at all at IGH Walmart. Well, one Netflix Mirage and some Cyberverse Starscream figures. Very barren and nothing in the back
