    I did not realize the Netflix deluxes all came with pieces to a Teletran 1 backdrop. Guess I gotta hunt them all down now. Grh.

    Let the hunting for Studio Series 86 and Kingdom figures commence.....

    Lincoln Target (as of Monday night) had 5 Hot Rods and 2 Scourges left, after I grabbed one each, as well as the lone Kingdom Primal.

    Also snagged the lone Thrust.

    Target in Smithfield was bare as of Tuesday night....

    Even though I have them on pre order scheduled for next month, would love to find SS86 Jazz, Blurr and kup early, as well as Kingdom Warpath.

    Happy Hunting 2021

    Still waiting for the Targets down here to get some. May have to take a ride up there.

    Newbury Comics in Providence Place Mall had a Quintessons on the shelf today if anyone is looking for that.

    Rhode Island hunters....as of 1030am on Friday, January 22, 2021.......

    Walmart Providence (Silver Spring Street) had two pegs of Kingdom Deluxes (mostly Fossil guy, Black Aracnia and Cheetor) and Core class guys -- I grabbed the lone Warpath.

    Also, two Primals, but no BW Megs or Cyclonus.

    Happy Hunting!

    Sorry I meant to post this as soon as I got home last night!
    Providence Walmart seems to have found a case of Netflix Series 2 deluxes... there were 2 Bumblebees, 2 Elitas, 3 or so Wheeljacks, 1 Impactor, as of about 8pm last night.
    Kingdom seems to have been completely wiped out.

    Ecto-1 and Bumblebee & Spike are in stock at both Targets in Warwick. Target also has end caps displays for Transformers so be sure to check the end caps for more goodies.

    To echo Mad_Jester, Ecto-1 and Bumblebee & Spike were also in stock (as of Wednesday night - sorry delay in posting) at the Target in Lincoln.

    I also spotted two Studio Series 86 Grimlocks at that time and some Kingdom Core class guys, but not much else for new stuff.

    Also, no end cap displays for Transformers in Lincoln that I noticed (yet)

    Has anyone been to the North Smithfield Walmart lately, cause it seems a decent amount of Walmart’s are getting stock in.

    Last time I was there I did curbside pick-up for something non-toy, but hearing that Kingdom Wave 2 may be hitting stores, it may be time to go hunt this weekend!

    Toy Vault in Warwick had them a while back, but I haven't seen a restock of those specific figures yet. I didn't get them yet either, but I'm not crazy excited about them. I already have headmaster Scourge and Classics Cyclonus, which might be good enough for me.

    Also, my wife picked me up an Kingdom Ultra Magnus from Rt 2 Target in Warwick a few days ago. I think they had more. They also had a bunch of 86 Grimlocks.

    I ended up ordering Scourge from Best Buy (retail price and curbside) but it isn't ready for pickup yet.

    Also ended up finidhing Cyclonus online too -- saves the hunt even if I spent a little more $$ for the shipping.

    Especially if like you said, restocks are slow and/or they haven't been seen much.

    The Target in Lincoln and the Target in Smithfield have been pretty bare for TFs too, outside of the 86 Grimlocks and random cyberverse stuff.

    Lincoln Target has restocked a bit... I grabbed the lone Huffer, left on the pegs a lone Ractonite and about 3 Arcees. 2 Primals, 1 Cyclonus. About 3 each of SS Hot Rod and Starscream from Bumblebee.
    North Smithfield Walmart has at least 3 of each of Netflix Optimus & Soundwave.

    I know the Ollie's in Woonsocket has had/may be getting more Earth Rise Optimus Primes, but it appears I keep missing them everytime I check.

    Happy Hunting!

    UPDATE: As of 5pm, Thursday April 15th, Ollie’s did in fact re-stock. I got a Prime (yay!), left six on the shelf along with like 10-15 Doubledealers
