    I don’t know about everyone else but Minerva hits two big areas of collecting for me… 1)obscure characters that only die hard fans know & 2)she’s a female character.

    Northern Kentucky Walgreens down the street didn't have it today. I'm not that concerned about getting her because I already have Elita-1 and I have no connection to the character at all. I do like a Black/White/Red colour-scheme and fem-bots, though...

    Went to 3 Walgreens that form a triangle around my home( North Sacramento):

    Store 1: Nothing
    Store 2: Had a whole bunch of Kingdom Red Alert (probably at least 8 ), and 1 each of Scorponok, Wheeljack, and Wingfinger
    Store 3: Nothing

    Well at least now I can say I've actually seen Red Alert at retail [​IMG] [​IMG] . I'll probably check out a couple more stores that are a bit further tomorrow afternoon, but seems likely I'll find Minerva in store this time next year.

    Also, all those deluxes were at the 25% off sale price of $18.74 (or whatever it is). To put things in perspective, Back in 2016, I went into a Walgreens for the first time looking for Transformers after the TR Brainstorm sightings started. At the time I passed because I thought $18 was way too much for a deluxe. Man times have changed.

    Found 5 Minerva's at my local Cheltenham Walgreen's and took 1.

    Make sure you use a Walgreen's Plus card or someone's number that assigned to one (used my lady's cell #) so that you can save $6 on it the same way the OP here did.

    No more than double the retail price + shipping. I have a feeling Cosmos will be reissued like some other figures. My kid has the last Cosmos that came out (Titans Return I think) and I have the X-Transbots version, so it would be just to upgrade his minibot to a better detailed G1 deluxe.

    Cool. Guess I should start looking around soon.
    I have two reasons for wanting one.
    1) Finally get to have a light bar for Red Alert and can make a resin copy for Clampdown that are the right size.
    2) Get to have a good base for a custom pre-Prime Cybertron Override. I shall call her Speedracer.

    Yeah, hit three Walgreens last night here in Fort Myers/Lee County, FL. No luck at two of them, but did find 2 x Kingdom Red Alert at one of them.

    Yeah, you need the (free) Walgreens account to get it at the $18.74 sale price, either presenting the card or punching in the phone number assigned to the account at the checkout. Also, there is a "get $5 cashrewards for spending $20+" digital coupon (might be targeted though, don't know) that you can activate, but it expires 12/24 tomorrow.

    I managed to acquire a Legacy Cosmos recently... it's loose but complete and I would do a straight trade for a Legacy Minerva (same condition or pkgd). If you find her and we could help each other out, PM me.

    Siege Ratchet and Kingdom Red Alert also fit the theme.
