    Picked up Leo Prime and Breakdown (!) at Ann Arbor Saline Road Target. Breakdown wasn’t registered in the system so the cashier had to enter the price. Left a Needlenose and a Leo Prime, didn’t see Tarn.

    Already?! I didn't even see a single dead end outside there. Might need to get that online order in.

    I would just have closed window design and make the box art larger to fill the whole box. Those card box cost can be easily saved if they simply get rid of the background board from studio series. It's really stupid to have open window design for some toys that have loose accessories and painted parts.

    Stopped by Sterling Heights target on my way home from work and got real excited when I saw Leo Prime but there was no Tarn. Just 2 Leo Prime, tons of Elita 1 and new Earthspark toys.

    I can't find anything online about it but there's a sign at Dix and Eureka that says they're putting a Ross in the strip mall. This is really good news for the potential deeply disconnected transformers

    Check your meijer's. All clearance toys have an additional 25% off clearance prices.

    I managed to snag a Lightning Collection Pumpkin Rapper for 3.50

    Sarge and Red’s has the Evolution Cores right now, just picked a Slug up for myself. The Lakeside Target has basically nothing barring a bunch of SS Rumble/Wheelie/Laserbeak and some clearanced Terrorsaurs.

    Great Lakes Hobby & Train in sterling heights is one of the fewer hobby stores still around. They have plenty of stands, including the Bandai action base 4 (all around) and 5 (better for bigger figures) stands.

    Edit: The Walgreens across the street has a couple Kingdom Red Alert figures and some other Kingdom deluxes in the seasonal / closeout section.

    Edit: Great Lakes Crossing has some TF figures but nothing new or noteworthy. Toy Alley has Kingdom Galvatron and Rhinox figures. Go Games & Toys has ss86 kup and blurr and cyberverse skullcruncher.

    Edit: Actually the Gamestop at GLC has a Magnificus.

    Burton walmart has moved their TF section closer to the aisle

    Legacy
    2 blitzwings
    5 galvatrons
    4 skids
    3 arcees
    Various cores

    Tons of SS BB arcees

    A 11.97 "clearenced" legacy core
    9 17.99 beast ast (bit annoyed they havent dropped in price any further)

    Those weird new TF bobblehead things

    And 3 retro 86 starscreams

    They were completely out of stock of velocitron stuff, seems like they may be making room for new stuff, most likely Evolution...
