    Right.

    I did not go into it with any expectations.

    Kind of gave me feelings of when I would trade in games for cash at GameStop.

    There are a few comic shops that often have second-hand transformers and sometimes third-party stuff. That's Entertainment is in Worcester and Fitchburg. The Worcester store is bigger. There is also Comicazi in Somerville.

    Does anyone have an idea when Kingdom Red Alert might be hitting (Walgreens) stores? Despite seeing some floating around online, I haven't been able to find any.

    They're not available in US/Walgreens yet.
    Probably September.
    The one's you see online are from other markets.
    Canada & overseas where it's out already.

    Really glad I saw this post before I went on vacation to Massachusetts. First went to That's Entertainment in Worcester and decided that I would keep the spending too a minimum in case Comicazi had anything that I was interested in so I picked up a Prime FE Bulkhead. Went to Comicazi and oh, damn! Was amazed with the selection. Came away with quite a few figures so that was great

    I am still looking for the Worlds Collide but at the same time not really actively looking for it. I thought I had one yesterday for a store pickup for it to suddenly go out of stock overnight. I also keep going back and forth on the set. I don't need Hubcap with a Bumblebee head and Blackarachnia is nice but not sure I need that version and the mainline version. I am a fan of Nemesis Prime/Scourge figures but Nemesis Primal feels underwhelming, now had it been the gorilla mode been silver like the evil gorillas in Congo I would definitely want. So that basically leaves me with paying $85 for a four pack for Fangry and three others that will end up in a storage bin.

    Lanesborough Target has one each of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee 2-packs (w/Barricade, Dropkick, and Stinger) and two Origins Bumblebees. No Worlds Collide, obviously, and no T-Wrecks to be found. Plenty of Kingdom Arcees, but no other mainline stuff.

    Salem Walmart has moved their Transforms to the aisle in front of the one they were at before, They only had wave one and two deluxes and a lone Dracodon.
