    So I do have some negative news for everyone. I can now confirm 100% that Meijer has discontinued selling the Legacy line for transformers.

    They will instead be doing studio series, Earth spark, and the rise of the Beast main line. At least until September minimum they will not be doing anything with Legacy

    Not a huge deal - their TF section has been abysmal for well over a year.

    Nerd Out posted a video of their store. You can see their TF inventory in it.

    I was at 5 Below in Woodhaven, they had the little one dollar guys, role play toys of Optimus's Axe from DotM & sword from AoE. They also had these guys below that I've never seen before. The weapons and racers were $5

    One.

    Methinks they may have underestimated Tarn’s popularity and WAY overestimated Leo Prime’s and Armada Screamer’s…

    Definitely did for Tarn, I think they did more of Leo because while JP only he has had toys before and has a cartoon appearance for longer, is a Lion/beast, Optimus looking face and is a Prime. Where as Tarn is a relatively new character. And it definitely wasn’t what they where expecting. Which for getting more DJD is good.

    And definitely for Armada Starscream, they did more of him because Starscream as a name.

    Which I can’t objectively fault the company for thinking that way. That being said I would like a Inferno rerelease since I missed him.

    Roseville Target has a few NEST Ratchets, a few SS86 Ironhides, a lot of the recent SS and Legacy leaders, and more Earthspark stuff than I'd seen in a second. No Jazz yet, but they just put Ratchet out so he'll probably be a second.

    One Origins Jazz at Carpenter Target! I nabbed mine on my way into work. The remaining one looked to have some scratches on his forehead. Not severely damaged but might be difficult to remove if that bothers you.
