    There’s still some hope. Pulse stocked Netflix Soundwave last Friday and most thought it was gone.

    *Crossing Fingers* That would be nice,Im also hoping theyll get in the Ironhide and Ratchets sets since mine are still in limbo. I read the Soundwave sold out almost instantly once the premium members got theirs.

    I thought about going to Frank and Sons to find BB and some other stuff,but I heard the line to get in is really long and the wait times are crazy with the cosmic rust thing still going on now. Its been a year since Ive been there and that was before the cosmic rust started.

    My tracking isn't even updated for my Unicron... Fedex came earlier but no Unicron in sight. I'm hoping they didn't deliver it to a different house. There's 3 houses here with the same number but different street... Anyone else's tracking not updated?

    Sorry, WM didn't have any Kingdom Deluxe. Those are slowly trickling into Target though if you can catch them.

    Same here, I've heard others got their tracking on Monday! Perhaps they are truly filling orders in the order they came in...which is only fair!

    Yeah, even if you don't have the link, I've had the Target person monitoring the self checkout lines pull it up on their device, and they'll gladly match the in-store retail price to $19.99 or whatever it is online. Great for specific Target stores in big cities that like to markup their product for the unsuspecting shopper. They even use the app to scan the bar code and can instantly see it comes up as $19.99 online. Don't overpay!

    I'll keep an eye out, but I’m so tired of hunting... maybe I’ll just be surprised when I go in there for regular items.

    Woodland Walmart has a slew of Studio Series 86 deluxe and Kingdom Voyager(Dinobot and Inferno) figures.

    Florin Walmart had a few Netflix Deep Cover figures left, along with the rest of his wave. But the new Kingdom deluxe figures had already been picked over.

    Welcome. I feel compelled to read your posts in voices from Will and Grace.

    Jack (excited): "Woodland Walmart has a slew of Studio Series 86 deluxe and Kingdom Voyager(Dinobot and Inferno) figures."

    Karen (in an "oh yeah? I can outdo that" tone): "Florin Walmart had a few Netflix Deep Cover figures left, along with the rest of his wave. But the new Kingdom deluxe figures had already been picked over."

    I think people have bought their fill of SS86 wave one. I saw 6 Grimlocks at one Target and 4x Deluxes at Walmart.

    Was able to get the new Kingdom Deluxes, but haven’t seen the Voyagers yet or Netflix wave 3 yet.

    I know the feeling. These days you can pretty much get any of these figures online. The only problem is that most of the time, online retailers aren't getting their stock as soon as B&M retail, so you can pre-order, but you might have to wait a month or two, while others are finding them in store.

    It seems like I'm not the only person finding the single Kingdom Arcee figure. Is she short-packed in this current Transformers Kingdom wave? Thx.

    So here's my little Unicron story.

    I got the notice yesterday that it had shipped, and it was scheduled to arrive today.

    When it comes to deliveries, I have two problems: I work nights, meaning I sleep through the arrival of most packages, and my intercom system to buzz people into the building doesn't always wake me up (when it even works, which is less than half the time).

    I didn't want them to leave this ginormous package in front of my building, nor did I want them to take it back and get stuck in a game of "Will they come back?" "Which FedEx location is it at?" "Can I come to get it now or is it still on a truck somewhere?"

    So I had the bright idea to jump onto FedEx's website and have them divert the delivery to the nearest drop-off point, which happened to be a Target. "Great," I thought. "I can pick it up at my leisure and check the store at the same time. Win-win." And that part worked great; went to Target and picked it up, no fuss.

    And then I couldn't get the goddamn thing into my car. Not in the trunk, not in the backseat, not in the passenger's seat. Couldn't get the box through the damn doors.

    For 15 minutes, I'm in the Target parking lot looking like a moron, trying to cajole this thing into my car like some shitty game of Tetris. Took it out of the larger shipping box, nope. Took it out of the inner Unicron-themed box, nope. Separated the Styrofoam packing pieces so they'd fit in the trunk, no they would not. I could take the Unicron globe out of the Styrofam and it'd fit, but then the damn thing would just be rolling around the whole time. I had to drive around with the Unicron globe popping out from the backseat like some kind of cartoon bomb. And I couldn't just leave all that packaging in the parking lot, so I had to disassemble both huge boxes, fold them up, and shove them into the trunk.

    Long story short, I should've just woke up earlier.

    I am so sorry (but I still can't help but laugh, haha). At least you got a great story out of it.
