    20211104_102759.jpg I've got one Autobot Ark at my store, opened and displayed. Complete with box, instructions and accessories.

    Still waiting on my distributor to send the case I ordered in April :(

    Target on Pine Ridge Rd in Naples finally has some decent Transformers stock after many weeks of just one dwindling case of Kingdom wave 3 deluxes and buzzworthy stuff.

    3x each Core Soundwave and Dracodon, 1x Tracks, 1x Scorponok, 1x Wingfinger, 2x Rhinox, 1x Cyclonus, and (surprisingly) 3x Beast Wars Megatron. I grabbed one of the Megatrons with the 25% off one toy coupon on Target Circle. Brought it down to ~$38. A good deal, yesss.

    I noticed that as well.
    I went to a Walmart they had a whole endcap display full of figures I’m talking dozens and dozens.
    I think they are way over estimating how many figures they’re going to sell for this movie. I see this being captain marvel all over again. I’m still finding captain marvel figures in discount stores for sale after how many years?!?

    It's a little pathetic. How could Hasbro possibly have looked at the movie character designs and though, "Yeah! Kids love generic, bland people in the same shiny robes! Make sure you put lots of circle swirls!" They are even releasing those "titan" sized figures of some of the characters, including Sersi. Ross and the discount stores will be swimming in these figures well into the future. It all gets even funnier the more you know about the actual movie. That BAF figure sure was well chosen ...

    Stopped at three Walgreens today, and two had their Kingdom deluxes marked down to $15.99. The third one had them at regular price. So if you still need a Arcee or Airwave, you might check your local store.

    Hopefully the closeouts means Red Alert may be hitting shelves soon.

    Walmart @ 14821 Six Mile Cypress Pkwy & S Tamiami Tr had pretty much the same items as last I checked on Nov. 1, but less, especially the Kingdom deluxes. Didn't do exact count as aisle was very messy.

    WfC Kingdom: 1 x Airazor; clearanced @ $15.99

    These Walgreens' toy aisles had been rearranged and no longer had shelf tags for Transformers or Zoteki figs:

    Walgreens @ 15601 San Carlos Blvd & Gladiolus Dr
    Walgreens @ 17065 Pine Ridge Rd & Summerlin Rd
