    I went to all of the Walmart and Targets from New Lenox to Orland Hills, and only was able to find B-127. I did find some of the new Cores, but I was looking for Dino, Starscream, and Inferno to no avail. I must of missed the initial releases at these stores.

    Picked up a SS Dino at the South Elgin Target. There’s another 2 left, and a bunch of SS BB Starscream and B-127

    Full pegs of Dino and B127 at Peterson Target in Chicago this afternoon. At least three of each, plenty to go around.

    Also found a random single Airrazor there, along with a Ractonite. I had gotten a random Huffer there a couple days ago as well, so maybe they have a case of Wave 2 in the back that's trickling out? All that's there now is the Ractonite.

    So I take it Netflix wave 2 and Thrust are completely gone now? I managed to find an Elita-1 thanks to @WinstoBot but I’m still looking for thrust and Soundwave.

    Thrust is very likely gone. Soundwave still pops up here and there.

    I found a new case of Thrust on the shelf a couple of weeks ago so it’s not impossible that stores will restock again.

    Oh, ok. Are there any parts of the state where Soundwave has shown frequency in popping up?
    Oh nice! If you don’t mind me asking, where in the state are you? Like north suburbs, south etc.


    Also, I remember seeing somewhere that they found overload for retail last week. Is it at all possible that more units of the harder to get figures are being made, or that some stock just never left a warehouse and it’s finally getting shipped out?

    Not Transformers-related but I know we have some Joe collectors in this thread:

    Saw plenty of Cobra Commanders in Chicago Targets today, which means I missed out on a bunch of Lady Jayes and Flints. Curious if anyone here scored them or if I should be keeping an eye on eBay for $60 Joes when I sort by "closest seller."

    Same here, I saw a bunch of Commanders. I scored a Flint and Jaye from my local toy supplier! I paid $30 each. He did have more Jaye's but I scored the only Flint. That was on Tuesday!

    $30 isn't bad, that's right in my sweet spot for what I'll pay to avoid having to hunt. To follow up, I scored the last Lady Jaye at Addison Target today, leaving only Cobra Commanders. Somewhat surprised that Jaye is apparently in less demand than Flint - he looked sort of bare-bones to me, accessories-wise.

    Not a whole lot to speak of as far as Transformers go. Saw some Studio Leader Shockwaves around Chicago Targets if anyone missed out on those.

    Shout-out to the ever-helpful Jason Blue Boost for selling me a sealed, perfect, Kingdom Inferno, which is more than my Target did for me a couple weeks ago. Many thanks!

    I have those on preorder at Walmart.com but can’t trust them. Just went up at Pulse yesterday so I ordered there to be sure.
