    Maybe they're just picking one up for a friend? I always ask my buds to keep an eye out for exclusives.

    DRAT! My local Walgreens only has the space for six deluxe class figures. There are 2 on the shelf, Siege Mirage and Sixgun. Hopefully Bluestreak will appear on Amazon USA for a decent price.

    I'm really bummed about this. There are a ton of Walgreens here but they either get a ton of exclusives or none at all. I never did see a Ratchet but is still see yellow suited Daredevil regularly. Fingers crossed.

    You’re allowed to purchase more than one of a toy without it being a reseller you know

    Lets give him the benefit of the doubt and hope he bought an extra one for his homie. Scalper scum probably wouldnt be posting sightings that encourage people to hunt, not buy online.

    The whole thing is surprise since we never got a listing leak from Walgreens but I had no trouble getting two Ratchets last year from Walgreens website or Wreck-Gar before that. I wouldn’t be surprised if we get a pre-order notice this week around pseudo NYCC. The big deal with Ratchet was that they announced it at SDCC but the pre-order didn’t go live. Everyone just had to wait until October to get it in store or online so maybe Hasbro gave Walgreens stricter terms about how this could get released.

    Maybe. I saw another aisle with toys set up already but no tf’s. Only one Hound in the regular spot so maybe in another week or 2 I’ll check again..

    Guessing this is just the start of distribution. Man I haven’t been in a Walgreens since 2019.

    Ratchets were readily available on their website for about a month or so. I bought one in store in Oct, two more when they went on the website shortly after, three more online when they went on sale for $15.99, and four more online on Black Friday when they were $11.99.

    Really? We’ve sunk that low to accuse people of scalping because they bought two of something?

    I'm a long time collector and I usually buy one to leave in package and another one to open, is that consider scalping?

    I just happened to stop by Walgreen to get thing to drink and checked the toy aisle and just out of no where there was bluestreak! There were only two on the shelf. I figured I make an account here and post my reporting.

    nothing wrong with that. It’s no different than the people who post 10+ sharkticons, weaponizers , battlemasters and micromasters bases and pretend their army builders.

    I did that with generations deluxes 2012-2017 and had an entire wall but when prices kept going up I stopped and sold them all(for retail price at the time).

    It just got too expensive to buy doubles.

    I'm certain you didn't see Siege Shockwave at Walgreens. They don't stock any Transformers more expensive than a Deluxe.

    If it's anything like the Walgreens-exclusive Marvel Legenda Silver Centurion Iron Man is so far, it might not BE available on the website. That one still doesn't even have a page on their website.
