    Had to nudge the Target worker to check on items for me, but glad I was persistent. Found these guys today. There was no full cases either

    SS deluxes ringing up 24.99, but check Target app. They’re 19.99

    Legacy Deluxes ringing up 22.99

    Pleasant Hill Target had 1 Legacy Tarantulas, 1 MPM Blackout and 3 Metroplex around 10:30am after I picked up a Tarantulas and Elita.

    Pinole Target had nothing but some infuriating customer b@llshit. Some d!ckhead opened the NECA TMNT Stern collector boxes and took only the Shredder figure.

    Also, for Gundam fans, blind box Mobile Suit Ensemble assortments are showing up in Target collector sections. Haven’t built mine yet, but they look like simple poseable sorta-SD proportioned little figures (but kinda pricy at $9 each).

    Just got wild rider at metreon target, they have knockout, soundwave no damage, bulkheads, terrorsaurs, vintage obi TV, anakim aotc, neca Tokka razhzor, Zach 2pack, goon turtle rock soldier, hunchback leo

    Has to stop by the Powell bart to check out the free play arcade games they have to celebrate their 50th Anniversary...been decades since I've played full size space invaders, pac man, Galaga, asteroids...

    My reflexes have slowed but I was still able to polish off a wave of invaders, get a captured fighter released, finish a couple mazes and destroy a ufo and a wave of space rocks...

    BTW Ross had nothing downtown, just titan spidey and hulk figures

    Same wave 1 legacy deluxe and leader stuff at Macy's union Square in bulk

    Wildrider finally came through Best Buy, won't have to hunt him anymore. He's sold out in the site now, but Elita-1's available if you really want her (Knock Out's also sold out, and Tarantulas is "coming soon".)

    Did any of us realize that there was literally no reporting from sf bay area either the scalpers scored all of them Or this is so damn rare in term of availability even worst than the Netflix Bumblebee.

    Now that I think about it, no mention of Cosmos found in the Bay is right. I don't recall seeing any report whatsoever. Had to travel to LA to grab mine and even then, found it by luck (I paid double).

    I found one Cosmos in Fremont a few weeks ago. Pure luck, got there about 8 am and a full case was on the pegs. Seen nothing but leftovers since then.

    I'm in SoCal, and I only saw Cosmos once. Thankfully, it was when the sightings were really early on, and I got him then. I've seen Override and Clampdown more, and I'm pretty sure those two are the second and third rarest. Hopefully HasTak picks up the hint, this guy's even rarer than Bumblebee and Soundwave. At least Bumblebee wasn't shortpacked in the Netflix case.

    Scalpers got em all. It's why if we see them, we should just buy them for others on the boards.

    Frank Whaley does not appreciate your description of his starring role...

    but he does understand it.

    Target Redwood City still sitting on a stack of MPM-13 Blackout and Titan Metroplex. SS Sideways and DOTM Bee have landed here as well and one Jhiaxus still on the shelf.
