    So Kingdom Wave 2 has started to hit the shelves in Illinois? That’s honestly surprising, because I still haven’t been able to find wave 1

    Thanks for the heads up. I spent so much in February on Kingdom and Studio Series 86. I made a decision to take March off. :scalper

    Deluxes are pretty much everywhere. Surprisingly it's the larger voyager and leader price points that I see very few of. Still haven't seen Megatron.

    I've found Voyagers at toy stores in the greater St. Louis area, but no sign of Deluxes yet. An area toy store got Kingdom Ultra Magnus as well.

    He meant Wave 1. I'm in the same boat, I've seen Wave 1 around and about, I've only been able to grab the Wave 1 Voyagers from the back one time before they've started showing up in Walmarts near my area, and Leaders I've only seen Optimus one time, and Megatron I only was able to get from being lucky that a Leader assortment was being pulled out.

    Same. Only reason I got Megatron was a comic shop got it. Otherwise I’ve just seen Prime after Prime after Prime

    I would have thought the same, but strangely, at the Oswego Walmart, when I got to the shelf, there were 2 Dinobots, yet no Infernos. (One Dinobot left as of last night)
