    The Astro Squad was gone by the time I got there, but an associate was able to pull another from the back. Scanner shows 16 micromaster packs in the stock room; unknown how many are the new wave.

    Popfindr said there were 2 of Sky Lynx at Oakland Target, so I went and checked only to find nothing. (One of the price checker booths in the store said the same thing as Popfindr, so it’s not a case of Popfindr being wrong.) Somebody must have bought them earlier in the week, I guess. Anyone else see Sky Lynx in the Bay Area recently?

    Did the price checker booth say it was on hand (on the shelf) or in the back? I believe Popfindr usually updates within the hour, so if the count is not accurate, either the items were stolen, or the stores inventory is wrong which happens from time to time. Stock on a new item like this doesn't usually last too long.

    For any Contra Costa peeps hunting Sky Lynx, I hid one in Walnut Creek Target on this endcap behind a Frozen singing Elsa figure.

    I’m holding out on Sky Lynx for my Walmart preorder. I was able to snag the $50 special. Fingers crossed it works out.

    Spent quite a bit looking for it, couldn't find it on 5 stores. Eastlake Target has a Snapdragon and the new Cyberverse 1-Step changers, though, so that's something.

    On the shelf. I double-checked with Guest Services to see if the system was right and they couldn’t find any evidence that both Sky Lynxes had ever been there to begin with. It could just be a case of human error, considering that I managed to find Scorponok at that same Target over a week ago when he hadn’t even been listed on Popfindr.

    Got one today at Walmart in Rocklin. Also saw a label for Leadfoot on the shelf at Target. Looks like he'll be hitting retail soon.

    If anyone is planning to purchase a Scorponok I would suggest to do so! All retailers are pre-sold out! Other than target you have a chance getting in store or using the app to get notifications!

    Culver City south Target (aka Fox Hills mall but you can only park on top because the rest of the mall is closed) had ER Scorponok, Rung, and the Astro Squad Micromasters.

    They also had the new least-popular Batman vehicle, the Bat-raptor, which they had a bunch of, as did Culver City Target up the block on Jefferson.

    I heard certain Walmart are bringing out an endcap for masters of the Universe. Anyone seen it? I'm still on the look out for Man at Arms. If not there's always next year I suppose.
