    Bro you're the one who complains that we haven't gotten a good enough Soundwave because the MP and Netflix figures don't accurately recreate every single Sunbow animation error, you really think you'd ever get what you want if they cut production by that much? Even those two figures that somehow aren't good enough were exclusives.

    Huh, it is. Should be back up in a couple hours, translating timezones. In the meantime, have the link to Red Alert himself to have on standby when it does come out of maintainance: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-131413

    Well sure. Will you make up the difference in what I would pay in a Walgreens for it? Not everybody wants to pay inflated prices.
    I'm assuming you've already got your Red Alert. If you're so annoyed by the people that don't, what's the point in coming to the thread?

    Sure as hell beats waiting on Walgreens to get it in stock (if your's ever dedicated a peg or a spot on the shelf to him, that is). I did already get mine, back when Pulse first had him in stock, I'm just pointing out other, more vastly cheaper (I have no idea how much AmiAmi or RobotKingdom shipping is, but have a feeling they're definitely cheaper than shelling out about a hundo on eBay) options to get him now.

    That's a surprisingly good price. I haven't looked at buying figures from Japan in years, how bad are the shipping costs right now?

    Honestly, I've given up on Walgreens. I assume RA isn't coming. I have the Netflix version, that will suffice. I just wish Hasbro would stop giving exclusives to Walgreens since they seem to have little interest in actually selling the exclusives. Not just TFs but Marvel Legends as well.

    AmiAmi doesn't have a points system like Walgreens where you can end up getting the figure for next to nothing.

    Yes they do. Difference is, you won't be racking up points idly by buying your day-to-day goods.

    Actually they do. For every purchase, you earn points. Then you can apply those points to the next purchase or save it up.

    That's the thing too. I can rack up points buying essential items like Prescriptions and then use the points that add up alot quicker on figures like Kingdom Red Alert.

    On ebay the averaged sold/completed auction for Kingdom Red Alert with shipping is $62 dollars. I actually had a chance to buy Kingdom Red Alert on Hasbro Pulse before it sold out as pulse premium member but I made a conscious decision not too since I figured I can just waltzed into a Walgreen store a couple months later and buy a Red Alert off the shelves. I have 4 Walgreens around me and I had no trouble finding the other Transformers exclusives so I figured the same thing with Kingdom Red Alert. But times are changing with the pandemic and shipping crisis and I won't make the same mistake and I will buy Minerva when the figure becomes available on Hasbro Pulse. I did noticed that the closest Walgreens to me recently put up a Kingdom Red Alert tag so hopefully soon; otherwise, I will just live with my Siege Red Alert.
