    Snagged the last SS86 Grimlock from Sheila Lane Walmart. He was on the top shelf, trying to hide. That store also has thousands of core class figures, if you’re into that sort of thing.

    Forest Hill had one SS86 Hot Rod and about a half-dozen Primals. That figure is showing serious shelf-warming tendencies.

    Central Park Fredericksburg Walmart has 5 SS86 Leader Grimlocks! Two are hidden behind other large Transformers figures and one is on the top shelf. These guys are well-stashed. I looked over the shelves a good four or five times and it felt like I kept finding another one each time. Remember to look behind the SS ROTF Scavengers!

    Also 5 Netflix Elitas, 3 Netflix Wheeljacks, and 1 Netflix Red Alert.

    Thanks for the heads up. I rushed out this morning and scored a jazz, kup, blurr, and scourge. Still hotrod, jazz and blurr on the pegs (jazz has a derpy paint job on visor)

    I'm currently in Manassas target, lots of cyberverse, one vertebreak, and an ironwork

    any new Masters of the WWE Universe figures? Becky Lynch, Roddy Piper, Macho Man and Ricky Steamboat are the ones I’m looking for.

    The only Walmart I have ever seen the WWE MoTU figures is the Manassas Liberia store. I will check as I am going past that store later.

    Midlothian Walmart stocked the SS86 deluxes. Only Blurr available. Looks like I missed The Drowned from DC Multiverse again. Argh (lol.)

    I was in Gainesville Target and while it said they had a SS Grimlock on hand, I couldn’t find it.

    I don't understand the point of random Targets having these Buzzworthy endcaps if the endcap is always half-filled and the actual TF section is also always half-filled every time I see them.

    That doesn't bug me as much as the endcap often being 50-75 feet away from the actual TF section.

    It is a standing Target merchandising rule to have the shelves look as full as possible. So they will split the items between two merchandising spots to try to fulfill that directive.

    Stores generally get broad autonomy on where they put a required planogram as long as it is represented in the toy sections merchandising floor plan. Some stores do not even have the Buzzworthy endcap due to not having the needed space.

    Short Pump Walmart has one case of Kingdom deluxes minus one black aracnhia (she was already gone), two pirmals and two elitas.

    Short Pump Target has one each of what I think is wave 2 of He-Man "classics" or whatver they're called, merman, robot guy, and two others. Plus 4 he-men
