    Busy (and expensive) day today. Bought Core Megatron and Starscream at the Brier Creek Target, 2 each left as of 2:30 pm.

    Bought Leader Ultra Magnus at the South Square Target on Bus 15-501 in Durham. Found another UM at the Morrisville Target.

    Bought Collab X-men Ultimate X-spanse, the only one that popfindr showed in the RDU and surrounding areas for the last week, at the Cary Crossroads Target. I was suprised that this one lasted that long. Figured it was either hidden in the stockroom, forbidden to be sold until some untold date, or a phantom counting. Even more suprised to go into the store and see it just sitting on the shelf under the TF section. Maybe the price had something to do with it ($65). Wished I had had a chance to get out to this Target last week when they had that "25% off one toy" offer.

    Went to the Apex Target, found Ractonite along with Warpath, no sign of any of the other wave 2 deluxes. On that note, last night, I stopped by the Lynn Rd/Grove Barton Target, they had two Kingdom-boxed Arcees on the shelf along with the Kingdom Deluxe pegs full of wave 1. No sign of the other wave 2 figures.

    I went to most of the other Targets in the area as well, but nothing new to report at any of them.

    That X-Spanse was probably the one I ordered online and returned to the Cary Target (nothing wrong with it, just wound up with two due to an uncanceled pre-order).

    Found Wave 2 Deluxes at the Knightdale Target around 2pm. Picked up Airazor, Huffer, and Arcee. Left one of each along with 2 Ractonites. A word of note/caution for anyone going to get them: that Huffer has two right arms, one in the proper place, and the other in the place of the left.

    Glad you got to them at least, better than going to the hands of a scalper. Let us know how your figures hold up, I'm looking to get a Netflix Cheetor, eventually at least haha

    Thanks for this. I ended running to this walmart later in the evening the same day you posted(this past Saturday) and everything from the new netflix wave was surprisingly still there. Picked up one deseeus drone, the only one I was interested in.

    I was at the same walmart Mooresville late last night(Tuesday night), and all of the new netflix figures were gone. They did have 1 dinobot in a pretty pristine box, which I left. Other than that, nothing else not already mentioned in your Saturday post.

    Grabbed a set of w3 Netflix deluxes at New Bern Ave Walmart around lunchtime. Left one Deep Cover. Had gone looking for wave 2 Headmasters and struck out, but these will do fine! Had a smattering of other stuff like Kingdom Primal, SS86 Hot Rod, Blurr, wave 1 Headmasters, and a lone Kingdom Cheetor.

    Got Netflix Wave 3, sans Deseeus Army Drone from New Hope Commons Dr (15/501) for $17.88 each. Was hoping to find the Army Drone.

    The one over at 15/501 Chapel Hill has the R.E.D. Figures (OP, Megs, Soundwave, Cheetor, TFP Arcee), as well as several of the headmasters sans Chromedome.

    Picked up some of the Wave 3 Netflix Deluxes at the Holly Springs Walmart this morning. Left behind 2 Deep Covers and 2 Sparkless Bots. They also had a ton of RED Wave 1 (no Wave 2) if anyone's still looking for those.

    No, Wave 2 has been showing up at retail since sometime last month. I found them at the Wake Forest Walmart a couple weeks ago.

    Grabbed the last Netflix Cheetor at Kildare Farm Walmart. Nothing else of note there. Drove out to Apex Peakway and they have at least two cases of Dinobot/Inferno. No Netflix.

    Did some more hunting tonight!
    Small Walmart on Glenwood had no transformers of any kind. Just don’t go there.
    New Hope Church rd had several Dinobot and Inferno.
    New Bern Ave had a bunch of RED, including Cheetor and Arcee. They also had retro Hardhead and Mindwipe
    Town Rd had a retro Highbrow.
    Main st in Wake Forest had nothing.

    It’s barren out there, ladies and gents.
