    Robocop is randomly popping up. It popped up in San Antonio as recently as yesterday morning. Doc will likely will likely be the same

    Ahhh okay. I think they are suppose to be in next weeks Target's Fall Geek Out thing they have been doing. I read where someone in Waco found Robocop as well. Just been debating on going over to Cinco Ranch Target since they have a large Collector section. Read these figures are suppose to be on an endcap though.

    there should be plenty during the holidays. the WFC Siege 35th anniversary animation figures were available the next holidays, a year after the first released.

    same with most other first releases, hard to find, then like 4-6 months later all stores have an excess of them.

    Yeah there's probably gonna be another wave. Some walmart's haven't even opened the cases yet. When I was in Austin I went to a Walmart and asked if they had a case and they said they couldn't open it until September 13 or 16.

    I’ve never seen them in my local stores but they’ve been carrying most everything since at least Earthrise online for in store pickup and delivery.

    I ended up buying him for slightly more than twice the retail price after using a $10 ebay reward. After 12 walmarts, there is no hope finding him in store.

    I've seen every Velocitron figure multiple times but not Cosmos.

    Mood. I was trying to avoid having too many Lambo lads, but between having 2 Sideswipes, Soon to be 2 Red Alerts, and Clampdown... I justify it by saying the Earthrise mold is different, and it is. But still. I try not to have more than 2/3 of the same molds in my collection if it can be helped

    Went by Cinco Ranch Target today and they pretty much didn't have anything worth noting about. They had a few of the Marvel Legends Peter Parker and Ned two packs. First time seeing the dumb windowless boxes Hasbro is using now. They did have those McFarlane page puncher figures they had Batman and Superman which don't look half bad really. They did not have any of those new NECA figures I was looking for so hopefully they will be up on Target's site on Friday morning.

    Got a pleasant surprise today. Found Wild Rider in a Target in the San Antonio metro area.

    Not sure if this was a mistake in that one store putting him out early but I could check out. This left zero in the store.
