    Mayfair Target on Foster has one studio series Perceptor left after I grabbed one (in addition to two SS Wheeljack and one Brawn), one each Legacy Arcee, Blaster and Galvatron, a few Bulkheads and a bunch of Legacy core class (Skywarp and Iguanas on the pegs, someone grabbed me a Hot Rod from the back with DPCI). Kingdom Deluxes and Leaders were marked down (Deluxes 15%, Leaders 30%)... Elston Target had Paleotrex marked down to $6.99 and the green Dracodon core class marked down to $2.99 on an endcap. Non-TF: someone at the Wilson Yard Target on Broadway grabbed me a King Grayskull from the back after I provided the DPCI... Happy Hunting!

    Also wanted to add.... Ran to the Skokie Target on Howard to see if maybe they would've put out more of that SS Arcee... They hadn't, but did grab a Horde Trooper...still a Sun Man left on the pegs...

    The Silvis Walmart had had one each of Legacy Galvatron and Laser Prime as well as an assortment of deluxes with pretty beat up packages. I bought the only Dragstrip and the only Kickback but they still had two each of Arcee and Skids.

    Has anyone seen Red Alert at any area Walgreens lately? I ordered him before but received a Wheeljack instead and wasn’t able to get a replacement. Probably heading to Kane County this weekend but wanted to see if he’s around before I bend over for a dealer there.

    My understanding is that Earthrise Red Alert has never shown up at any physical Walgreens ever. Am I wrong?

    nabbed the only dragstrip and kickback left at lake zurich wm. there is a skids, bulkhead and possibly arcee left.

    i almost went nuclear finding kickback and his head was missing. luckily i heard something rattling in the box and it was intact. these open boxes are really trash , anything can just fall out of the box. go to no window boxes and put official seals on the endtape or something. i know with all the savings they are doing with the plastic window you would think they could afford to slap a tf logo on some rolls of clear transparent tape and seal the edges.

    I recently visited my local target store and surprisingly found 3 Legacy Bulkheads and a Buzzworthy Bumblebee Silverstreak. I picked up bulkhead but skipped on Silverstreak due to me having..A bad reputation with the datsun mold. These figures were definitely early stocked because my friends went to target the other day and couldn't find anything. Have Fun Searching!
