    Orange County is still devoid of dx wave 2 Legacy. One store had some but all I was able to get was Tarantulas. It's better than nothing I guess.

    Found Wheelie today thanks to a tip from Sharkjumper. They finally showed up at the euclid target. Only one left but they still had a few ratchets. Tons of buzzworthy terrorsaurs and a few of the goldbug box set. No sign of wave 2 yet.

    Tried a toy hunt this morning. One of the very few times I was motivated to actually try and search. Visited 2 Walmarts and 2 Targets. No Cosmos. No Wildrider. No Wheelie. I did find SS86 Arcee, which was the very bottom of my list but I was desperate to bring home something so I grabbed her. Not sure if I’ll keep her yet though. I loathe hunting in stores now. I really wish I could get Cosmos online because everything else I can just be patient for.

    Goleta, CA Target finally had the Core Class G2 Megatron and Optimus Prime in stock and only 1x Knockout (which I picked up). They also had a bunch of Creatures Collide packs, toy deco Dinobot and Terrorsaur, 3x SS86 Leader Starscreams and 1x Legacy Leader Galvatron.

    If it makes you feel any better, TC's Rockets has Tarantulas and Wildrider. Most of them are upcharged at $50 for some reason (the store usually reasonably upcharges (and sometimes DOWNCHARGES, in the case of a Bluestreak and Coronation Starscream there) most of the time, so why they were at), but some of the Tarantulases were at a $25 price, so I was able to nab one of them. Jhiaxus is also there for ~MSRP. Still gonna be on the hunt for Wildrider.

    Oddly, I did find velocity on there the first week of sightings, but only a couple of Burnouts and Blurrs. A week later, roadhauler and override. They don’t restock often tho

    There's still tons of Buzzsaw and Night Prowler, 3 Velocitron blurrs and 2 each Burnout and Clampdown and tons of Legacy wave 1 dlxs at Redding Walmart

    Also, how are your guy's copies of Road Rocket? I've gotten two copies now, from different stores, that both have the inner leg piece misassembled/swapped and loose arms that fall off

    Kup and Blurr are still there?! It's been nearly a year since the original ROTF Sideswipe sightings, and it's now been 3 whole waves since then... how???

    Also, LOL at the upside-down Clampdown on the first picture. I take it Cosmos is a no-go? I already have him, just wondering is all.
