    Has anyone seen kingdom red alert? I haven't been able to find him at any of the Walgreens here in San Diego.

    Hasn't hit retail yet. I'd say give it til October; that's when the Walgreens exclusives usually hit their stores.

    Yup! Usually when it hits Stockton too. My last item from GameStop, SS Slag, took nearly two weeks. It was stuck in Stockton, Lathrop, Tracy...

    That’s lovely. Don’t know what the deal is there but last winter had the same thing happen with my Super Megatron from Pulse. Sat for 2 weeks before any movement. I swear the longest part of the delivery process is at Tracy. Could take 3 days to travel across the country and then anywhere from 4 days to 2 weeks for it to pass through Tracy.

    I have two packages stuck there for the last 3 days. What’s frustrating they will go to Fairfield and it will be another 2 day. I only have this issue with Hasbro Pulse items.

    I have a lot of packages that get stuck there from FedEx. Right now I have one there that has been stuck looping in their warehouse since last Wednesday. FedEx seems to really enjoy using that as a delay stop for a package. I don't blame the packages, they can visit the water lodge or Cabela's in Manteca.

    Funny you mention that because it’s the same for me. Only my Pulse shipments get caught up. My packages from BBTS and Target (when they use FedEx) usually clear the location within a day.

    If anybody happens to be getting their Kingdom Galvatron through Hasbro Pulse, unfortunately they're sending the misassembled Galvatron. Drats! I just received my shipment today.

    I have one package from Hasbro Pulse still sitting in some depot in Georgia since the 10th but yet I'm supposed to receive it Thursday. Yeah right! I have an eBay one from a gentleman who used FedEx Home Delivery and it's still stuck in Texas since the 11th or should I say it left supposedly but it was to be delivered yesterday. I put a tracer on that damn thing today. Getting to New Mexico should barely take a day with FedEx coming from Texas but unfortunately that's not even shown.

    Yep, so hopefully everyone knows that FedEx can and will hold things in Tracy, CA for a while.

    They also hold onto things at various locations. Osseo (sp?), MN is another I have seen BBTS stuff get held at.

    Osseo not so much. It’s not that they hold stuff there, they just never scan departing packages. It can say Osseo for 3-4 days but your next package location is likely the facility that will deliver it.

    I always heard that once they get enough packages in a particular location that's when they will ship things out to the next location in the delivery process. Essentially If they can't fill up trucks for a particular zone they will sit on boxes till they do. Unfortunately I've heard a lot of the food fresh services have dumped FedEx because of that.

    Funny you mentioned Osseo, MN. I lived there for a little while when I was stuck in Minneapolis. it's a VERY tiny town.

    If you have a package stuck somewhere get in touch with customer service. Whence I do that they start moving the next day.

    For FedEx, you need to wait until it has missed it's delivery date before you can do a tracer, even when way before the delivery date you know dang well it is not going to make it based on its current location. It is especially hard to push them when it has left a depot as the CS reps will milk that excuse as a reason for "further patience"

    Picked up Wreck-Gar and Thrust at Target Vallejo. One Thrust left. Price rang up at $26.99 which was nice.
