    Cedar AV Target was pretty dull. Some Grapples, a Mixmaster, Impactor... separate shelf by the LEGOs with Crosshairs and Barricade.

    The Walmart was a bit better. Numerous Netflix figures, no Hotlink. But did have ER Starscream. Which is not nothing.

    Rochester Walmart: Had wheeljack and 1 ultra mags (left), I bought 2 of UM. I also saw some adult collectors come after me to the area and it was a sad moment, we couldn't talk--I had to run away (they were not there for WFC toys, I made sure before leaving the isle). Ultra mag was on clearance. All the boxes someone had popped open, I took the two that were the least damaged. I opened all of them to insure the contents were intact. It isn't a bad deal for $35.

    I also visited Targets in Rochester, they still had some 1st and 2nd wave SEIGE (that every vendor has some of somewhere) not much else. A few Earthrise, but no new waves are out yet. If you want the micros they are at Target. Most of the Transformers are gone in Target.

    So if someone asks if I will die for these toys, apparently yes... (upon reflection).

    I felt that way wandering in to Walmart for the first time since *gestures broadly* ... but thankfully it was pretty empty at the time (pays to go at 7:30 on a Tuesday).

    That said, as my wife's due date starts getting closer I'm going to start being far more cautious again. So if by that point this rumored Netflix Cheetor is finding his way to stores I'm likely going to be looking for someone who's not as high risk as my household to keep their eyes peeled and possibly grab one for me.

    Heads up, Targets have started getting the Skywarp/Cracker set. Few people have reported they were able to get them after having people check in back.

    YMMV in a pandemic.

    None in MN. California. It's in the main thread over in News.

    This link may help.

    Eagan Target has ER Astrotrain, and fresh cases of Smashdown/Soundbarrier. Also a number of Grapple/Starscream, a Cyberverse Deluxe Hot Rod and a pair of Shatter Jets.

    Shakopee walmart has one of the Transformer endcaps. No leaders, but a good group of all the deluxes and one Megatron. It's a bit picked over, but there's still a fair amount there. Lotta Cyberverse deluxes, too. I didn't think to check for Arcee/Thunderwhatever.

    ....man speaking of Thunderwhatevers, can we get an updated version of Thundertron? I'm pretty eh about prime, but I loooooved his design, and it was a nice to get a NEW character rather than just another character I already have 15 versions of.

    Grabbed Cracker and Skywarp two pack at Midway Target this afternoon. Nice dude got ‘em from the back. He said there were a couple more back there, BUT I grabbed an extra set if anyone is impatient!

    I’d say @T-Hybrid gets dibs since he shared the news here, otherwise reply here if anyone wants to meet up near Minneapolis and grab the second set!

    Appreciate the opportunity, but my hunt is for the Decepticon Clones. I'll defer to someone else who's hunting Seekers.

    Whole endcap of earthrise is at midway target now. It's in an odd spot, almost at the end of the toy section.

    If anyone spots a Thundercracker/Skywarp pack, would they mind grabbing it for me?

    When the Cyberverse endcap went up, Eagan put it in a really weird spot, like over by where the Cars/Paw Patrol stuff was. Not sure if it's a planned thing or if it's based on where they have room.

    But nice to see it's up and coming. Can anyone who spots this check if they're putting up tags for the Clone pack?

    ---------------

    Also, if you're a fellow Aquatic Decepticon enthusiast, today is the final day of the Selects God Neptune preorder window over on Hasbro Pulse.

    (Note: If you're first instinct was to correct me by pointing out he's a Predacon, congrats...this is the set for you.)
