    Alright y’all, I don’t know if Red Alert and Minerva are in demand anymore, but we got 2 of each at the Walgreens at 9495 Mexico Rd in O Fallon. Since we’re all collectors here if you want one of each that’s fine, but I want to try to limit it one per person so anybody that wants one can have a chance. I’ll keep them in the office until I leave at 3:30pm today, but then will put them on the floor if there are any left. If they’re all gone before then I will do a follow up post letting y’all know. If you haven’t heard from me before then then we probably still have some left, so give the store a call at 636-379-4131 to check before driving out here. I will let the other managers know and we can hold one for you. But before 3:30 stop on by and ask the cashier for Blackarachnia (that’s my legal name)… I’ll grab whichever one you want and ring you out. Please don’t call in the meantime though because I don’t want to be answering calls all day lol!
    Hope there’s still interest in these and hope to see y’all soon!

    Man as we are headed out the door to the science center! Are there other locations that have Minerva?

    For whatever reason, Walgreen’s decided to lump Minerva into Red Alert’s listing, so when I went to order a full case of 8, I really don’t know who will show up (should hopefully be here Thursday). Same goes for store locate, I’m not sure if they’ll have Minerva, Red Alert, or both. That said, 50% of the stores do show they have stock, so you could probably hit a few and probably have luck. The other problem is they have no designated location on the floor, so unless the store manager made room for them, who knows where they’d be. You’d probably have better luck coming here ;)  Would you like me to set one aside for you? I can hold her until tomorrow at 2:00pm if you’d like…

    Got her at literally the first walgreens I was planning on hitting (they got three in a row where I live) anyway thanks for looking out man. Now Got to ask the group has anyone seen wave 2 of legacy with the exception of starscream and crankcase? Time warp is telling me they had it in November but it's showing prworder everywhere else.

    You’re the only other one who’s asked me about her, so interest doesn’t seem to be too high if you need me to hold her for a couple days.

    I found a Skullgrin in target WAAAAAAY back at the very beginning of November if my memory serves, but the only figure on the pegs that day was another Skullgrin. Then right before Christmas I was chatting with my dad and he described seeing a figure that sounded a lot like Dead End, and that's all I've seen in the wild besides the voyagers and Crankcase. Which is frustrating, because I'm holding out for a Dragon Megatron to show up in stores so I don't have to pay shipping...

    Nice to hear Minerva has made her way to Missouri! Hopefully she makes it to my area eventually.
