    Dammit! Keldor pack sold-out everywhere by the time I got out of work. Half of them are probably on ebay now. Oh well, I did find Huffer, Dino, BB B127 and Mcfarlane Batman Beyond.

    That's already been debunked. They do in fact come with 2 opposing Crest Spikes. the ones with 2 of the same are QC errors.

    Oh man, people are killing each other for that toy right now. I got l-u-c-k-y even tho I was at target running past all the old ladies at 8am sharp lol

    I went on offerup and found out who all the local scalpers are lol 200 bucks. Gtfo.

    The motu and gi joe isn't even fun to collect because its so cut throat and filled with scalpers. I've managed to get my hands on what I want but fuck. Pain in the ass and waste tons of gas and still waiting since January for my scareglow from bbts.

    Thanks! Got the last one. Was down in South mountain looking for one when I saw your post.

    EDIT: Flying back to Texas tonight but will be back in Tempe in two weeks. Arizona doesn't seem to be lacking anything but if anybody needs something drop me a line.

    Nice. I'm surprised those bbs made it to clearance. I haven't seen any in a long time. Maybe ross will get some but I'm not holding my breath

    I feel like it should be illegal to purchase retail products with the sole intention of reselling them at a markup larger than what covers your fuel, effort, and handling costs, i.e. more than 10 to 15%. Mainly due to the toxic and sociopathic behavior it creates, as we are all very familiar with. Sure, everyone likes money, and easy money is even better. But, any of you reading this, if you're the person who does this shit, I don't know what fiction you hide behind to justify it. Playing to win, fair game, free markets, whatever. But you're actual scum and part of the reason the world is so broken despite that it could, in theory, function correctly. You guys heard what's happening with PS5s because of scalpers right now? LOL. Oh boy. I love hobby drama. The punishment they suffer for doing this shit is deep down knowing that they are fucking filth, so it's OK.

    Walmart on Rural and Southern has one Rust Zombie, one Quintesson Drone, two Netflix Cheetors, and a Kingdom Arcee.

    Tucson report

    Nobody has nothin'

    90% of stores do not have a fucking thing. Not even junk that no one wants.

    Most stores have 2 or 1 or 0 total Transformers figures\products.

    Which seems to suggest that someone went back and bought all the peg-warming Cyberverse crap from every store in the entire city. Either that, or the stores RMA'd that shit or otherwise got rid of it. There is literally nothing Transformers in almost every store in this town.

    Yeah, it's been like that for a while now. I'm surprised our Walmarts got in the new Netflix Deluxes. I've been trying to desperately find Thrust, and never seen him ever on Tucson shelves yet. =/

    I paid the TFSource tax for that one because I knew there was no fucking way he would turn up here.

    Usually I like when the pegs are empty because that means new stuff is coming. Yea. Aaany day now lol.

    Its been brutal this year. The post Christmas scarcity is stretching out into the summer. Not just tfs but most of the popular stuff in the figure aisles is gone.

    Im most pissed off at no tfs from ross this Easter. Man. Some bullshit. I've been fortunate to have gotten everything I wanted so far but I've had to be ontop of my game and jumping right ontop of stuff when it shows up. I'm surprised my gf puts up with me lol luckily she's got her own geeky hobbies and Fandoms so she gets it.

    That's hard to believe, because I've only been collecting since the end of last year. And I've been in Tucson the entire time. So I've hardly EVER seen an Earthrise figure in a store, ever. Besides Bluestreak and Hoist at Walgreens\Fry's, collecting dust. Ironically Walgreens often still has Siege pegwarmers, but no Ratchets.
