    I like how when I went to Walgreens the price sticker explicitly said red alert on it but it was random assortment of characters actually there.

    I hope so. I have more luck at Ollie’s than I do at Walgreens.

    Looks like the Walgreens website pulled the listing for Red Alert.

    Was Red Alert ever shown as in-stock?

    No, just store pick up and he was never actually there.

    Thanks. I'm amazed I managed to snag ML Nova off the site. I don’t have high hopes of finding Red.

    Yes.
    The page is still up.
    Yes.
    He's listed in stock nearly everywhere in my area.
    S.E PA.
    NO.
    He's not actually in those stores.
    In stock doesn't mean it’s red Alert.
    It means they have at least 1 Kingdom dx figure.
    One of my stores says in stock, but it's only huffer, ractonite & arcee.
    If you try to order one for pick-up, they grab one at random and give it to you.
    There system can't tell the difference between any of the five.
    They all have the same ID number.
    It's going to be a pain to get thus guy.
    Only method would seem to be continuous visits until you get lucky.
    Have fun!

    I had to go inside for "curbside" pickup (nicotine lozenges are not allowed to leave the store without proof of ID, sucks...) and I decided to check the shelves because the site said there were 10 in stock. They wave 2 Deluxes. A full case and then some.

    The page was not up when I checked this morning but it's showing up now. Perhaps they had to adjust something with the Red Alert product listing (I would hope).

    Yeah, I just had the misfortune of playing out this scenario yesterday. Web site had it listed as there. I get there and it's Huffer and Wingfinger.

    Ah but if they still had them clearance for $2 and some change those could be fun to mess around with and custom.

    This whole RA situation frustrates me. I feel like by this time last year I already bought one bluestreak in stores and one online. Thank God hasbro had that brief restock...

    Got my Red Alert today from Pulse and he’s a pretty sharp bot. Good luck to those doing the Walgreen’s circuit but you will be happy when you do finally connect!

    Found one of those clearance Arcees yesterday. Ok, yeah, I get it. I mean wow, barely constitutes being a “transformer” but for $2.50, yeah, I can’t complain.
