So you crashed while seeking Crasher? Seems appropriate. I think Go-Bot Crasher would be proud of your commitment.
If you haven't made your SS '86 Sludge dream come true, Target on Baseline in Tempe has three. Also one SS '86 Rumble.
Target Gilbert A couple of ironhides left if you don't mind the dinged up packaging. Good news us they're wiped out otherwise so hopefully new stuff soon
All of the stores I'm my area have been either full of Legacy wave 1 or they're completely blank. I'm very disappointed both ways.
Toy Anxiety has Tarn and Leo Prime at their expected markup, I got one of each I kind of couldn't wait. They had a few cases, as well as a Magnificus and a bunch of Dragon Megs's.
13825 N 32nd St UNIT 15 Phoenix, AZ 85032 Kick ass toy shop right off the 51 on 32nd St. There's quite a few good toy shops here depending on which end of the valley you're in.
Thanks! I'm just south of the valley; I'm in Casa Grande. Of course, that's part of the reason I head to Chandler, Tempe, etc. or Tucson with some frequency.
No problem, and welcome to the valley! I can also recommend Polar Bear's Pop Culture in Tempe at Scottsdale and McKellips. Smaller, but the owners are super cool and they get some interesting stuff in.
Check out collectors marketplace. It's the best shop here imo. Normal markeup prices but they have a huge selection of everything. I mostly go to browse Follow all these guys on social media. There's tons of toy swaps Collectors marketplace 1945 E Indian School Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85016 Polar bears pop culture shop 2240 N Scottsdale Rd Ste. 102, Tempe, AZ 85281 The chosen prime is also located here but its not a walkin shop. If you order from them you can pick it up. They did meetups pre covid maybe they'll do it again. Those were pretty fun to go nerd out
I had whole thing typed up that got deleted so I'll keep it brief: I paid 49 each for them, they're both about to start shipping on Amazon so maybe wait? I don't feel bad because I wanted to support a local shop and I'm not interested in the Leaders from Wave 1. I like them both a lot! I've never had a Leo Prime before but his fit and finish is similar to Primal from Kingdom, except his colors are much sharper and play well in person. Tarn feels more like a traditional action figure than a Transformer but he looks and feels good in hand. As with a lot of modern Transformers you might feel some of the plastic to be off (some of Leo's Lion parts feel kind or cheap) but I'm just impressed that these two look as good as they do. The paint work on them in particular comes off very well in person.
There's still a Dead End left, also multiple core Legacy Shockwaves which i havent found in-person until today. They also had some of those big spinny Earthspark Optimus and Bumblebee figures that come with the little malto kid minifigs.
