    Pleasant Hill Target had 1 Metroplex, a couple Red Cog and a swarm of Bulkheads. In the SW section there were a few of Black Series Galen Erso and Saw Guerrera, plus some Vintage Migs and a couple Koska (check the endcaps for more). Also some Archive Tuskens and Lando. For MOTU there’s a stray Revelations Scare Glow in a mangled box.

    In the Jazwares Halo section there were some new Spartans, plus the new Gungnir/Mk 7 two pack.

    Took an early run to 3 walmarts.
    Napa, American Canyon, then Richmond.
    Talked to staff with handheld devices all shown a case full of Vel deluxe but no where found.
    maybe one of them not yet stocked. at least the other one probably had insider thief took or hid the whole case. even a manager looking guy was wondering where it goes. after 6 hrs of outing (i brought my kid with so i didn’t waste all the driving time :)

    Brickseek might help you and you can check stock in your area from there.

    Also just a heads up,look in the other isles and sometimes the endcap for Velictron. Walked by a whole lot of the deluxes and a few voyager on the pegs this morning at Victorville Walmart next to the hotwheels,sadly still no Cosmos.

    Wildrider still isn't out yet apparently. But with Jhiaxus (finally) being sighted today, I can see him trickling down soon enough.

    Wildrider's currently only in specialty stores from what I've seen. I got Jhiaxus from a specialty store too for ~MSRP, so I didn't have to go hunting for him later. Soundwave I could care less about, managed to get the Netflix version when it came out.

    No Velocitron at all left at Burbank Empire Center Walmart: just the usual slate of R.E.D. and enough Coronation Starscreams to army build.

    Nearby Target still had a Metroplex but nothing else super noteworthy.

    Empire Center Gamestop still has a lonely Refraktor Recon set and one a them giant Soundwave Funkos. (Wonder when Unicrons will hit shelves. Mine is shipped and on the way.)

    Burbank West Target just had dusty SS'86 Sweeps but it did at least have the new Obi-Wan series Vintage Collection Darth Vader, which I grabbed. Shoulda looked and seen if it had more from this wave, but I was in a rush.

    - Laguna Niguel Walmart - Two Haulers, Override, and Blurr
    - Lake Forest/Foothill Ranch Walmart - Full Velocitron set minus Cosmos
