    The Swag Stylers ain’t bad, but they’re probably the weakest of the 3 new tribes from Series 2. The Spoiled Rottens and Music Mob are my favorites out of this Series.

    Still wish we could get more of the Series 2 8-packs in the wild... I hate this Target-Walmart duopoly.

    I would love to see them show up at Kroger (heck a lot of grocers have at least a small toy section), Walgreens (there was a reported siting of series 1 there that had disappeared by the time the poster went back to buy more), Aldis, 5 Below (sure it would probably only be the blind packs), Meijer (though I thought I had heard of sightings there), Big Lots (again they carried series 1), etc.

    They are at my local Meijer. I’ve bought Series 1 & 2 there. I just don’t go there as frequently as I do Walmart and Target which are more on my side of town.

    Must be nice, we don't have those here. Amazon's saying Swag Stylers restock sometime late this week, but that's still a 1-in-4 crapshoot.

    My area is doing pretty ok with series 2. Singles, 5 packs, and 8 packs. If anyone is looking for things be happy to mule.

    i just finished both series 1 and series 2 in one stop. Need to find rest of the released 1.5. Great little toys. Even the wife thinks they are sorta neat. She also likes masterpieces too. Prowl is currently holding a plunger.

    Liking these, though so far I've been seeing my McMuzzsaw as more of a Scottish knight errant (or at least what he thinks that would entail).

    so i had a good day out today and found a fresh box of series 2 singles so i snagged all the recommended buys and got both backpack bunch 5 packs.

    even the repaints are fun and the faces remain adorable. i see series three has another guzzlerush variant coming. has me wondering if it's the first guzzlerush "brother" but i'm hoping it's a she as well so we have triplets. i just think it would be fun.

    hamurai is a favorite already and i'm thinking of pairing up some backpack bunch members like short edge, ms take, bottocorrect, and slappyhappy with ultra magnus.....someone has to back up UM on the lost light or they'll be mistakes everywhere

    i just wish i could find the series 1.5 stuff. that's gonna remain elusive for me i think.

    I'm only missing Duderoni, Cuddletooth, and Hawt Diggety from series 1... And of course all the Bakery Bytes and Lawn League.

    Can anyone help me out with those (mainly the 3 I'm missing from series 1...)?

    I've seen tons of the packs with him around here.

    Got the last of the Series 2 5-packs I needed, now the wait for the 8-packs to show up. Targets only seem to have space for the blind boxes and 5-packs and Walmart is like, "Wait, we sell toys?" So I'm probably screwed.
