    Were one of you looking at Nine Mile Walmart a few min ago? Anyway, they got a busted sparkless seeker but not much else of interest (to me)... same with White Oak Target...

    Grabbed a Buzzworthy Origin Bumblebee at the Hilltop Target on First Colonial.
    There were 2 or 3 left on the peg. No problem ringing him up.
    Nothing else new there.

    It's weird that there's no plastic in the window of the package. I know they're trying to save the planet and costs, but it's still odd.

    Chantilly, Reston, and Fair Lakes Targets looked like they were "getting ready to reset", i.e. the action figure aisle was about 65% empty and the stuff that was there was unusually well-organized.

    I've saved so much money the past month or so with the shelves being so bare.

    Just a matter of time, I know.

    You guys forgot Trilogy Comics, he's known (or at least was know a couple years ago when I stopped going there) to send out his kids and their friends everyday to the stores. Toy Meister does it too... I'm up at Yestertoys all the time because it's got the most reasonable prices. I've seen him get in new figures like 7 cases of Kingdom Galvatron all sold at or below retail I also picked up the Disney+ wave there, some GIJoes and some other Kingdom stuff. and most of what he has is priced to sell. He's got tons of people who sell him the newest shit out. While he may, have friends clearing out shelves, I haven't personally heard of him doing that. I do know where he orders most of newest stuff. It really is one of the few places I can actually find stuff I want.

    I just figured I'd put in my opinion on the guy.

    Have you tried out bbts? I was skeptical at first but its where ive gotten most of my figures. Even hard to find ones like SS scourge i got no probs. Even with fedex ground it gets here no later then a week with my experience sofar. Granted you can't get store exclusives but i highly recommend it. Its saved me alot of headaches and stress.

    Yesterday both Sterling Target and Dulles Target were wastelands. Dulles so much so that they’re just tearing down part of the toy area.

    I have. I have some Sentinel and 52toys items in my PoL right now.

    I get some TFs from BBTS, but I have the Kingdom and SS86 figures on pre-order at Pulse. When I can, I like to spend my money at Pulse to give Amazon, Walmart, and Target some competition.

    Anyone know if the Earthrise Battlemasters already hit Ollie's in VB / Norfolk area?

    Saw this post: Official Ross/TJ Maxx/Marshalls/5 Below/Burlington/Ollie's/99 Cent Stores New Instock Items Thread

    Nothing at either Norfolk or the VB location yesterday. A nice employee helped me out and was shocked that they were sold out of the small TF items they'd just gotten in. He pointed out the spot where they were that was now vacant.

    I was unsure if they were different TF items, or if YesterToys and Toymeister cleared them out first.

    I humbly accept this award. What can I say about my now "award winning" toy hunt? Well, I was.........there. I could not have won this award without my wife who was also.....there.
