    Walmart will likely get the leader grimlock first... after the reset in a week or so. It seems to be the pattern. But who Knows

    There's been a shortage of truck drivers, partly due to COVID and partly due to wage dispute and also the holiday rush. Distribution will be slow, but pretty sure Hasbro has produced thousands.

    Just checked Target stock on Thrust in Austin this morning. A lot of them were showing limited stock, when they were showing out of stock last night. I stopped by the Four Points location and they didn't have any out. I saw a store associate restocking the toy section and asked if they had Thrust, showing him the DCPI. He looked it up and I *think* he said they had 10(it was through a mask, but I think he said that). He offered to check for me and came back with one for me. Super friendly guy! For a long shot, I asked if he could check the DCPI for SS86 Jazz, but that was still 0.

    On the shelves they did have Kingdom Legends(?) size. So Optimus, Vertabreak and Rattrap. Looked like maybe 3 of each(not sure of the actual packing assortment numbers)?

    So happy to final get a hold of Thrust!

    Happy hunting!

    Anyone know the Dpci for the ROTF Bumblebee from the buzzworthy series? Or is it the same as regular studio series?

    Got Kingdom core class wave 1 and Cyberverse deluxes at the Target on 249/Jones. Still 2 sets when I left around 9am. Saw the Cyberverse deluxes also at the Tomball Target off 2920, the Walmart on Kuykendahl/2920, and the Target off Kuykendahl/99.

    Saw lots of the Jada Nano G1 TF and GI Joe vehicles, retro Ghostbusters figures, and retro GI Joe AWE Strikers and HISS Tanks at Walmarts in the Tomball/Spring area this morning.

    Anyone need Netflix Soundwave and Bumblebee? I kept and received preorders after finding them in store in Plano last month. Just looking for cost.

    Went by the Target on Grand Parkway. Was pretty much baron but I looked around and saw a Into the Spider-verse Peter b Parker marvel legends figure and was happy enough to have found that. They did have that big buzz worthy Bumblebee but that was all they had of that. I’ve got most of the stuff I want from the studio series 86 line and Kingdom line on Amazon. I just thought I might see if I could find any at Target. But I was content to have found that figure :) .

    I work from 5:30am till 6pm, I check the Target inventory everyday at work. This morning about 9am I checked and saw Limited Stock at Cinco Ranch. After work I checked again and still the same. Got there about 7pm, almost no TF on the shelves. Asked an employee and she went to the back and brought out the case and gave me a Thrust. The other one went back in the back. I scanned mine on their price scanner, shows 2 in the back. So its probably still available, but you need to ask an employee.

    So I took a drive out to 1604/blanco target about 7pm and nothing on the shelves. I asked an employee to check the dpci for ss86 jazz 087-06-5834 and she says target at culebra/1604 showed 7 on hand so I took a chance a drove out there...there was nothing. This time I asked an employee named "Sam" according to her name tag shes was pretty hot, anyway she pulled up 2 on hand at crossroads target and 9 on hand at city base target. I drove to crossroads target on my home from culebra/1604 and there was 2 on hand...2 kingdom deluxes 1 cheetor and 1 dino skeleton. I left both and went home with ice cream to drown my sorrows...jk but I did buy ice cream
