    Anyone looking for the chase thundercracker zoteki diorama thingy can find at Walgreens at Westlake...has a security sticker on the front though...

    Target Colma has 2 arcees and ractonites...

    Serramonte has a warpath and ractonite

    Tanforan has 3 arcees and an airrazor and ractonite and cyclonus and a Skelegod

    Gotta admit it is weird to see the few unmasked while 95 percent are wearing masks while shopping

    That toy store in Japan Town blows. Good for a look I suppose. You check out Super7 on 16th and Jeffrey's Toys on Kearny. Kinda slim pickings in SF. If you're into board games you can check out Gamescape on Divisadero.

    target is pretty much the largest toy store in the City right now...

    cards & comics central on Geary around 18th Ave has a lot of toys, mostly older stuff though as they mark up the newer 'rare' stuff that comes in...

    Yeah.. I live way up in northern California where our vaccination rates are atrocious, State of Jeffersoners, militias, anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers everywhere, and when my wife or I go into a store with a mask on, we get stared at..

    Central coast seems about 70% masks/30% unmasked. Happy that people aren’t rushing to remove them. I plan to stay masked for a good bit out in public. You do you. Hopefully masking becomes more commonplace to help against the spread of flu, colds, etc.

    Are there any Targets in SF with good selection of Kingdom or should I try Daly City and Colma instead?

    i would say the Stonestown store has the largest toy section of all the stores now...so odds are best there...

    but none of them has what I'd say is a huge Kingdom range of figures...they mostly have a lot of wave 1 (Folsom street store), or a smattering of the most recent figures depending on whether you get there at the right time (Geary/Masonic and Mission/Metreon stores)...but most of the time its a handful of stuff...

    Colma is sort of the same, hit or miss depending on being lucky when you go but mostly noting lately...Serramonte up the block has more stuff usually...Stonestown is closer to those two too, so you could make a roundtrip of all three with minimal driving

    Found one Rhinox at the Turlock Target. Checked to see if Prime and the ark were still coming in, and looks like the shipments have been pushed back to mid next month.

    Hey California people, if you were thinking about picking up Core Bumblebee and/or Kingdom Ultra Magnus, today only Target is running $25 off $100 toys promo online. Add some other stuff to your cart, try to get as close to $100 as you can, and voila - 25% off discount.

    Hot Wheels makes a good filler item:

    Got faked out at Richmond Target - saw a Kingdom Magnus on the floor shelf with a hint of purple on the box behind it.

    Pushed it back to find a BW Megatron.
