    Stopped by Costa Mesa Target and scored the last SS86 Arcee and Legacy Core Shockwave. Still a Legacy Core G2 Megs from that assortment. Couple of Red Cogs as well, nothing else of note there.

    Found Legacy Elita One at Birdcage Target in Citrus Heights and FINALLY found and got the last Legacy Blitzwing at north Roseville Target off of Fairway Dr.

    Roseville Target south off of Douglas was cleaned out of anything new, and Orangevale Walmart, and the Roseville Walmarts at Lead Hill and Pleasant Grove had the same shelfwarming Starscreams and Legacy Velocitron Deluxes and Voyagers with no Cosmos in sight, though the Pleasant Grove Walmart still has Legacy Velocitron Scourge.

    20220824_000010.jpg

    Besides Velocitron Cosmos, I am of course still looking for Legacy Wildrider and the rest of the Wave 2 Deluxes. If anyone in Sacramento County or environs finds any of these, I will repay you cost with tax for it.

    Cosumnes river Target has one Elita-1 left

    employee didnt seem to be fully aware of the system- searching for more deluxes he said they were getting 2 more on 8/29

    i asked if he meant two cases and he said no, two figures (deluxe legacy). Didnt make sense to me, but i wasnt gonna argue so i thanked him and left

    I think sometimes they get product from distribution centers that’s been split at the warehouse. So rather than getting a full sealed case for restocks they might be receiving an assortment of products meant to be distributed to other stores in the region.

    SF target west has two Wild Rider but the package looks a bit beat up so I would not get it for collector…

    also base on our member info; the new package likely was pulled late last night or early morning today. And others don’t seem to like WR?? Handheld shown only 2 in stock so that matches.

    Been to every Walmart in Orange County, I'm convinced every case is Cosmo-less because their shelves are packed with Velocitron.

    It is only 1 cosmos per box of 8 deluxes. Massively short packed. I was lucky with pulling one from a fresh box that was sitting on a pallet and my preorder shipped from Pulse so I counted myself very lucky with him. Having a hell of a time tracking down Blitzwing and missed out on the first stock of wave 2 deluxes

    Yes, because this giant successful toy company is in this business just to fuck with us.

    No idea how I missed Wildrider and Blitzwing between those two posts…
    I need to have my eyes checked.

    Ha. Yeah, they were half assed hidden. Wildrider was behind a jurassic dino bottom shelf. Blitz by the micro star wars vehicles. Your eyes are fine.
