    I’ve found both targets to be pretty barren. Fairview Walmart is a dead zone too. Just empty pegs of nothing.

    I’m assuming they’re all just holding product back for the 2/1 ‘launch’ of SS86

    Meridian Walmart has a pair of Core Optimus Primals and a pair of Cyclonus’
    in their pathetically barren section this afternoon. May pick up a Cyclonus.

    Also, anybody seen a Walgreens Bluestreak anywhere?

    Thanks! Hopefully that means they'll hit saturation soon. I didn't pre-order Cyclonus, so I gotta get him in store.

    Nothing at Fairview Walmart or Boise Target.

    I expect that Target to stay pretty barren though, I see a lot of regulars with cut out barcodes bugging the staff every morning right at opening so anything with any ebay potential is gone after 8am.

    Fairview Walmart has one of each of the TR Autobot Headmaster reissues.

    Both Targets have a pair of SS86 Hot Rods,
    Eagle has a lone Kingdom Warpath
    Boise has two Cheetor, a Warpath and a Paleotrex

    No sign of Grimlock anywhere, he’s also no longer listed in Targets system when I checked at the Eagle store.

    Thanks for the report. Amazon put up a preorder for Grimlock over the weekend, and I put an order in since I neglected before, but it's already taken down again. It's not scheduled to deliver until April though. I'll be looking for him too, since that is so far out.

    Meridian (Overland) Walmart had 1 each of the retro Headmasters this morning (key word: had - I couldn’t pass them up ), as well as 2 each of SS86 Jazz, Kup, and Blurr. Also had 2 each of Warpath, Blackarachnia, Cheetor, and Paleotrex.

    Anybody looking for a really good Grimlock? Fairview Walmart had the motherload.

    I know we do have some scalpers that lurk here to try and scoop inventory and if you’re reading this, please have some basic human decency and leave some not just for collectors but for the kids who see a big robot dinosaur and want it.

    I highly doubt it. I went there the evening the day the original post was posted. There were at least eight there in the morning, and when I got there, there were no more than three.

    Oh man I had to go back the next day to pick up boxes for the office and every single one was gone.
    Amazingly, none of them appear to have ended up on ebay.

    Ten Mile Walmart had a full set plus one extra Brainstorm and Chromedome earlier this morning. Hit 4 Wallys in the hopes of finding Wave 2 Retros but no joy.

    Meridian/Overland and Eagle/Fairview had zilch, and Nampa/Idaho Center had a lone Chromedome.

    Thanks for the intel. I have to be up early at this point, but maybe I'll try to swing by after work tomorrow.
