    At one point early this year my local Walmart had a wall of them. But they slowly dwindled to nothing in a few weeks. This was prior to the stay at home order so they're probably completely gone by now.

    Yea, I mean they were available for purchase, but I think the general consensus for us Californians is that they never lasted long enough to be clearanced (not counting ones being marked down for having stolen parts or terrible swap-and-returns).

    Colma Target has one scrapper, 3 mixmasters. They also have a a few of macfarlane Wonder Woman, both normal and armored versions near the funkos. There was one marvel legends taskmaster left at one of the end caps near the Lego section. They also have a bunch of deadly origin black widows.

    Pleasant Hill Target had 1 SS Sentinel Prime and 1 leader Scavenger this afternoon. They also had one Legends Spymaster left after I took Crossbones.

    Walnut Creek Target had a remaining SS Scrapper. Legends wise they had Spymaster, Red Guardian, Yelena and ScarJo Widow with accessories.

    In these lockdown times, what is your preferred online retailer for getting Transformers? I've gotten some through Amazon if the price is right. I've also purchases through BigBadToystore. I've been looking at ToyWiz and have thought about HabroPulse. Any suggestions/favorites?

    I've tried to keep my eyes out on Pulse, BBTS and even looked at Entertainment Earth (as a last resort). Also started shopping at ToyDojo if they have stuff in stock. Otherwise yeah Target and Walmart online since they're faster than Amazon.

    20 bucks will ruin your wallet! I would have bought it if it was even 15. 20 bucks is a ripoff!

    One Netflix Megatron and wave 1 B.A.F. at the Sonora Walmart. It's a total shit show there, so discretion is advised.
