    I hate to tell you but you will only be able to get wave 2 online. Target is starting with wave 3 and looks to be passing wave 2 over. Walmart is over-saturated with wave 1 and will likely skip to wave 3 as well once the glut clears.

    Wanted to post that I was the 7th guy to arrive at a Target this morning for a six pack of Cobra Vipers. Counted the noses when I arrived and knew I was out of luck, but I wanted to verify they actually received a full box and I’d never been at a store with a group of collectors before and I wanted to see how everything shook out. Good news: It was pretty okay. The collectors were cool and respectful. Nice chit chat. The stock boy was polite and respectful. Hasbro and Target may not know how to estimate demand very well, but if anybody on this board was in Orange City this morning, you helped bolster my general faith in humanity.

    Someday my Viper will come...or not, no biggie.

    i biked it over to East Colonial Target to find two Meowscles on the shelves BUT A WHOLE BUNCH OF NOTHING OTHERWISE. the reset is happening incredibly slowly at my local store so i guess i'll be getting some miles in this week! maybe it'll help burn off some of that holiday pounds ...

    I've been going everyday to try and find any of these Joe's since the start of the new year and not seen a single one yet despite Target showing some in stock, buy in store only. I want to go in on this line but there is no product at retail. I had an easy time getting the pulse exclusives. I don't really understand why after almost a year in on this line we still can't find them.

    Found one lone Kingdom Cyclonus at the San Jose Target. No other Kingdom figures there with the exception of the core Optimus.

    Don't think SS86 is anywhere in FL yet. Projected the beginning of February according to Target which seems right on the money since Kingdom started on the 1st at Target like the preorders said.

    Went to gulf coast Town center Target at about 8:30 to 9:00 a.m. this morning. They had five thrust figures minus the one I bought and one primal which I also bought.
    primal was the only kingdom figure on the shelves. They didn't even have any other deluxes at all, pretty stripped.

    I passed by the Target on airport pulling in Naples during my lunch break and they had one thrust left on the shelves, same story as the other one nothing else good up on the pegs.
