    I think there will be more restocks than Overload but he will be less available that Grimlock. Grimlock was double packed in his shipping case. So if a store got 3 cases, they’d have 6 Grimlocks to move. With Slag, he’s partnered with a retooled figure and not double packed. However, the retooled figure is not a major character (in fact my understanding is Grindor was mistakenly put in as Blackout, even though Blackout was killed in the first movie. Thus the need for a new name and size change) and is likely to shelfwarm more than a Slag would. So I see him being more available than Overload but less available than Grimlock

    I’d also add that the farther into waves a toy line gets the harder it often is to find, as the shelf warmers from earlier waves clog the shelf.

    This is true. I would say a month after this wave is sighted at both Walmart and Target they’ll become more scarce

    Found a Slag yesterday not long after my previous post. Was at Sawmill Target. Went to a 4th cookout after or i would have responded sooner. Nothing else was there beside some leftover wave 3 core figures I think. The green dinosaur one.

    Truman boulevard Target had both slag and grindor but now they're gone. Already checked Hilliard Rome, Lennox, and stringtown. Nothing there.

    Anakin: found 2 leader class scavengers, no overloads.

    I got my Grindor in this morning and wow do I really like him. I always enjoyed the Blackout mold but I really like the updated hands. The extra rust/dirt tampos I could have done without but thankfully he’s not covered in them. I may remove them later but idk. My copy seems to be fairly stiff, not a floppy mess like some people have reported
