    Target Stonestown has Legacy Arcee still, BB Brawn, Legacy Core Skywarp, SS Core Ravage, a boatload of Silverstreak, Legacy Galvatron and Bulkhead, Leader Starscream. Saw a Star Wars Black Series Tech, and zero Marvel Legends today. Looks like a bunch of WWE figures moved to Clearance.

    I'll pretend like you did not just say that j/k. Most people would consider the northern border of Southern California as being in Ventura County with Oxnard, Simi Valley, and Thousand Oaks

    Meanwhile, there is a seething, silent war between everyone from Yreka to San Francisco over what “north” really means and another brewing between NV and CA over who owns Carson City. :eek: :eek: :eek: 

    Westeros ain’t got s#!t on Cali. ;) ;)

    Looks like Legacy Leaders Laser Prime and Galvatron arrived over the weekend at Bridgepoint Target. One Legacy Arcee left so missed that wave. Core Skywarp and Iguanus are sticking around, and there’s one Core Shockwave. Otherwise same Grindor, Leader Starscreams, and Sweeps keeping the shelf from flying away.

    There's SoCal, The Bay, and NorCal.

    Quit calling San Francisco NorCal, lol. To me Sacramento and North is NorCal.

    And then there's the perennial problem of people who live in OC: People in SD think OC is part of LA, people in LA think OC is part of SD, and people in OC don't consider themselves part of either LA or SD.

    Growing up in OC (Huntington Beach and Little Saigon) We always considered ourselves LA for the most part because of LA TV and Radio being broadcast there

    Really? I grew up in GG in the heart of Little Saigon, and then FV near HB, and never felt that way. LA always felt like a different world to me (and still kind of does!).

    Of course it's right after I ship my once-every-five-years PoL. Ah well, hopefully more stores start to get stock, still hoping for B&N at some point.

    To add clarity and controversy....

    There is SoCal, SLO Cal, and NorCal.
    The SLO Cal line is San Luis Obispo east to Bakersfield. Everything below this line of Demarcation is SoCal. Everything above the line is NorCal. Sorry, the Bay is Part of NorCal and so is the "State of Jefferson". Bakersfield, Gilroy, and Fresno are CA armpit and not part of either Classification ;) 

    The Bay Area is broken up into regions depending on how it touches the bay....loosely using this principle we get to:
    North Bay: Marin, San Rafael, Mill Valley, Novato, Vallejo
    South Bay: San Mateo, Hayward, San Jose, etc.
    East Bay: Concord, Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek (Hard to qualify Antioch and Bay Point, but given the name and geographic locations, I would say Easy Bay as they deliver the Bay to the Delta
    the Bay: San Francisco, Daily City, Oakland, Alameda

    If there is any controversy, it lies as whether Oakland and Berkeley are part of the "the Bay " or part of the East Bay...as the Oakland Hills are a good break up point between the Bay and the East Bay. That means the SF Kids have to share their name with Oakland...which causes a bit of a gentrification identity issue....


    Now guess where I live without looking at my location ;)  Glad I could stir the pot.
