    Did I miss my chance with finding Tarn? I've been looking in Walmarts and Targets throughout the upper part of Pheonix along the 101 and I can't find him at all. I'm also looking for Slug with no success, bit was lucky to find a Sludge at the Target by Talking Stick

    I still see Tarn and Leo getting restocked by me semi-frequently so I don't think you're out of luck for him yet. As for Slug, haven't seen him in a minute unfortunately :'(

    Do you mean the leader Slug and Sludge or the core class? I imagine you'd be able to find the core figures all year. As for Leader Slug you might be screwed unfortunately. My best suggestion would be a convention or a local shop that might have him for a decent price.

    Oh! Yeah, I meant Core class. I honestly completely forgot they were releasing Leader classes of the same dudes along side the little guys. I'm sure I'll find Core Class Slug eventually, but for Tarn, I'm starting to sweat a little

    I wouldn't worry too much. I've seen three In my area (and tucson is terrible for distribution) and typically wave one gets a big refresh over the summer and starts shelfwarming soon after. At least in Tucson.

    This town is like that sometimes.

    Not sure if anyone is looking or this has been brought up, but Studio Series Coronation Starscream is at Ross for $15. There’s one on Power and Ray.

    Does anyone here collect Star Wars Micro Galaxy Squadron?
    I also look for those when I browse for transformers but I don't know of a forum as active as this one for that toy line.
    If anyone ever sees any rare Micro Galaxy Squadron ships when hunting for transformers, I'd appreciate a heads up if that's allowed here.

    Haha I gave up on Marshall's. I haven't seen anything good there since the combiner war days. I'll have to check the next time in the area and see if they got anything else.

    Ross at McClintock and Southern has a Coronation Starscream, a Sparkless Seeker pack, a Kingdom Airazor, and a couple of those Jumbo Jet Optimus Prime toys.

    Some of them have a sticker that says “1 in 5000” or something to that effect. Basically like a chase Funko Pop or the Platinum Edition stickered McFarlane figures, i.e. a differently colored variant.

    Yeah, rares/chases with stickers are a clear indicator of something that's desirable, but it's similar to transformers right now where shelves are full of old, undesirable stock and new stuff hasn't really come in the past couple months. So if you don't follow the toy line, no need to expend too much effort to help me out. Just looking for other people who follow the line :)

    Thanks for the look out! But I ended up finding all the guys I was looking for in Target at Desert Ridge. Next challenges are ROTB mainline Primal, Core class Grimlock, and any SS Gamer Editions
