    Not exactly Florida, but if you're willing to take a little drive, Walmart in Daphne AL has Rodimus! I picked one up so there's only one rn, unless someone bought it.

    If we found that for 35 bucks I'd pick it up I believe siege jetfire was 35 bucks in some stores in 2019

    I grabbed Siege Jetfire for $19 at my Walmart, I sometimes still regret not getting the other 2 on the shelves, but hoarding is not my style xD

    1 Kingdom Rodimus left at the Sandlake Walmart in Orlando. I was able to get it at my local store after all!

    Hopefully this means the distribution horrors are over for us Florida folk.

    Keep an eye out at your local stores too. I've noticed I get stocked here before the Metro West and Kissimmee stores that I sometimes visit.

    Tbh I'm a bit surprised to even see him at retail, AFAIK Sky Lynx was only ever available online from Walmart

    Yes I think Sky Lynx was only in-store at Targets. Jetfire was probably a terrible loss for them because they didn't realize the space necessary to sell them and clearanced a zillion of them. Then they decided to not do Sky Lynx as a result.

    But I have noticed that both the Sand Lake and the Metro West Walmarts have reset the aisles to put the Transformers nearly right at the front and added a significant amount of space allocated to them. Maybe our manic fan base is allowing Transformers to outperform other brands. Hopefully to our benefit?

    Wal Mart is starting to try to be more collector friendly to compete with Target, and with Target ruling the Transformers roost right now, it's no surprise WM is trying to catch up. They've even got a whole collector section by their video games like Target has, and even started carrying SH Figuarts and higher end figures.

    Those are excellent news, I had no idea, considering what we've seen lately, I was actually afraid they might be downsizing the sections

    East Colonial Walmart and Waterford Lakes Target didn't seem to get the memo yet xD

    At least Best Buy had Tracks available...

    What adds insult to injury is that every single other part of the toy aisle seems to be fully stocked...

    Whatever cost would be, MSRP+Tax+Shipping+payoal fees, but I would check if your own Best Buys don't have it available for pick up on the website. Also. Amazon has it listed as "in stock soon" for MSRP, and that would save you shipping and paypal fees. LMK what you want to do and I can pick one up for you tomorrow
