SODO Target. 6 bees, 1 T-Wrecks, all the 2-packs. Tags out for the MP and Worlds Collide, but not for the Ark or Commander Class
I don't think Sodo carried Omega Supreme or Skorponok, while East Colonial only ever got one case of Skorponok. I think finding the Ark at retail stores in Central Florida is going to be tough.
I did rounds at Millenia Target and Sand Lake Walmart - the two stores closest to my house. Millenia Target had the Commander class and World's Collide tag out but no Titan tag either. No new actual product though. Walmart had nothing new whatsoever. I'll be going to these two stores for the next two mornings. Maybe more on Saturday.
Quick check of St. Pete Targets yielded nothing again. Hoping Pinellas Park gets new TFs out this weekend but last I heard a lot of their employees were out with covid and they had one person working on 7-8 pallets.
Bird Road target has T-Wrecks, asked the employee to check the DCPI for Worlds collide and they have nothing on the way
Odd, I asked an employee about the Ark a week ago, and they told me they had some coming on the 11-12th.
I checked out north Ft. Myers and Gulf Coast Town Center today. Targets have Buzzworthy Battle Packs and Origin Bumblebee, but not much else. Walmart too. Target @ Gulf Coast Town Center: Target @ The Forum: Classified Series at Walmart on Colonial Blvd. The only Transformers were 1 Blackarachnia and some Cyberverse stuff. I did have some luck at the Ollie's across from Walmart though. They were stocked with plenty of Studio Series and Marvel Legends. Plus a couple of Siege Apeface. I got both, I'm keeping the best one, but I'll sell the other one for what I paid (plus shipping if needed) to anyone who wants it.
What im seeing in the above pics is pretty consistent with what I see in Targets in North Dade and South Broward. Saucer Bees and Buzzworthy two packs. Thats actually a good sign for the Fangry sets when they finally start showing up. I predict it will be the next rainmakers set. They will just keep coming and coming to the point where even the scalpers wont want them. The only question is when are they coming ? Why middle america 2 weeks ago and none for us ? Same for Slag. Its really annoying.
Waterford Lakes Target: ×1 T-Wrecks ×2 BB vs Barricade sets Tomorrow (Saturday the 14th) is Free Comic Book Day so I'll have sales throughout the store including 20% off Transformers (yes, Unicron too!). 11am-7pm, masks required.
That's the first time I've seen G.I.Joe on the shelves there. Thanks for checking, I hate getting around in the parking lot of that plaza. Apeface is a steal at that price. (And I've never seen their toy shelves that straight and organized before.)
You were right. There is a Titan tag. It's just underneath the Marvel stuff. I scanned all three tags and their system has none in this store nor any other store in Central Florida. Gonna check Metro West and Sand Lake Walmart. I will update this post if I find anything. Edit: A singular Kingdom Galvatron at the Metro West Walmart. Looks like it has fixed shoulders. Nothing new at the Sand Lake Walmart. They had today's toy pallet on the floor and I went through it. Really small pallet considering how empty their shelves are.
There's something odd happening with distribution in our area. Both waterford and Brevard (quite distant stores) had the Worlds Collide set to arrive on the 4th, and nothing showed up, their systems don't show any on the way either. Wonder if there's any chance stores are shortstaffed and are not unloading the pallets yet? When does stuff show up in the system?
If they use a similar system to Publix, which I worked at for a couple years, stuff goes into the computer system when the trucks arrive. They don't even need to scan it in or anything. The whole system just knows because the distribution center creates a manifest that is sent to the store's system when the pallets are loaded for transport. Likely distribution to the warehouse(s) or out of the warehouse(s) is the issue at the moment. The stores definitely ordered the product since the shelf spaces are just left empty.

Walmart on Creighton ain't got nothing. Target on 9 Mile has a couple T-Wrecks, some Origin Bees, and a Barricade two-pack. Luckily the Walmart in Gulf Breeze seems to be stocking up. Bunch of unopened stock boxes lining the aisles. They even had a couple Netflix Optimus Primal.
I checked the Orange City Ollie's last night and all I found for Transformers were multiple pegs of Cyberverse Slipstream. I couldn't find any of the Studio Series that are supposed to be in this week.
