    Case in point about what I said above:

    This is Citrus Heights Target at Birdcage.

    Orangevale Walmart is unchanged. I picked up one of the peg-warming Netflix Cheetors.

    I would kill for TRU to come back. If Bain Capital had not been Greedy Assholes and sold TRU to the Canadian version instead of letting it go under we would have a LOT of options.

    As for Hobby Lobby I want nothing to do with them, just like Chick Fil A

    Hi everyone, I don’t know where exactly to post this but …. Here you go…
    For those who have not purchase the Transformers: A Visual History book yet and have always been wanting one … now is your chance!

    Transformers: A Visual History (Limited Edition) is on sale on Amazon.

    Original price is $99.99
    Right now it’s on sale for: $57.05

    Free shipping if you have Amazon Prime.

    In my opinion, It’s a great deal for a Limited Edition version.

    Since it is so boring out there….
    Let’s rate these chicken burgers in a scale of 1 to 10 (10 is best) comparing chick-Fil-A, KFC, McD (Crispy chicken sandwiches)

    CFA > KFC > McD, but I still find Popeye's to be the superior chicken sandwich.

    The hack to use is ordering ahead on the app so you can just park, check in, and chew within minutes.

    CFA/Popeyes and then everyone else. I have yet to try BK’s Ch’king.

    For those into the grilled variety, Fuddrucker’s has a secretly good grilled chicken sandwich.

    College Grove Walmart has nothing except a Ractonite on the He-Man section for whatever reason. Put him near the TF section, hopefully someone can give him a home.

    College Grove Target has nothing except the shelf-clogging Cyberverse Shockwaves. Ross nearby has nothing.

    Mission Valley Target has nothing. Also the aisles have been shifted around, with no room for Transformers. So uh… hope for the best.

    Sports Arena Target has an extremely discounted Super7 Megatron. Ross nearby has nothing.

    Clairemont Walmart has 9 Dracodons, 3 NF Cheetors, and 2 Grimlocks, alongside 2 RED Cheetors.

    Othello Target is the same as it always is. As well as a Cheetor.

    Balboa Target has 3 Grimlocks, a Cyberverse Iaconus, and a “discounted” Car Shatter.

    Just picked up Masterverse Moss Man and Evil-Lyn from Walnut Creek Target using the DPCI from the receipt @Logicfry was nice enough to provide. All they had was seemingly cases of those two, odd that I’m still in search of He-Man and Skeletor.

    Thanks Logicfry!

    Not that I could tell, but those sections are so random and people like different things. Definitely no TMNT, but a couple BTTF.

    Pleasant Hill did have Frankenstein and both of The Boys figures (Starlight and Homelander?). I haven’t watched that series yet but both figures looked great.

    He-man and Skeletor have a different DPCI
    IMG_20210603_124451.jpg
    087-16-7306 for He-man. My Targets say next weekend for He-man.

    I don't know Skeletor's because I got him from Walmart but here's a picture of the barcode. You can scan it at Target and get the DPCI from the thingie

    Went to Toy Fusion in sac yesterday, holy cow the Haslab Unicron box is huuuuge!

    Not really sure what people are looking for, everything current was way overpriced (core Soundwave for $40).

    They have a Unite Bruticus for ?? Maybe $250? Not sure, my wife was rushing me

    MP-Rodimus Convoy, opened box. $195 seemed too good to be true considering I don't know how to spot the KOs

    That core soundwave price is ludicrous

    Whoa, thanks for that. A lot makes and doesn’t make sense now.

    What an infuriating plan, only a team up of Mattel and Walmart could come up with something that wack for a release. Trust those two underhanded companies to coerce you to hunt between two different stores by making the two most popular figures of the wave a time-limited exclusive to one store.

    I’m a big hypocrite for saying this since I still buy MOTU and WWE off/on, but there are some properties that I wish Mattel would just lose. They’ve cheaped out on developing quality WWE figures for years, had a terrible sales model for MOTUC (still my favorite MOTU line) and now this.

    Fans will still buy them (especially since it looks like this design team has some good ideas IMO), but I hate seeing Mattel prosper when they pull this crap.
