    In the 7 hours between my last two visits it looks like they only unloaded a Override case and are already down to 2

    Hey everyone, North Attleboro Walmart restocked last night. I went when they opened (had heard from an employee over the weekend they were resetting Sunday night) and was able to score the Cosmos, so sorry about that.............but everything else was there as of 730am in case you were looking.

    Portsmouth Walgreens has finally clearanced those Voyager-sized Cyber Series figures that came out in 2018. They had 2 Shockwaves and a Prowl, $9.50 each.

    They also have Earthrise Arcee and a couple Kingdom Deluxes marked as being on clearance, but the "original" price is the $25 Red Alert price, so these Deluxes are still around $17.

    I just got back from Newport Walmart, and saw no Overrides. No Cosmos, either. But I did see a Clampdown, along with the other 6 Velocitron Deluxes from the case (2 of each), and a couple green Grapples.

    The good news is that Newbury Comics at Providence Place Mall has Legacy Jiaxus, Elita-1, SS Bee Movie Ironhide, and SS Galvatron. The bad news is, they're all at least $10 above MSRP.

    Macy's in the same mall has a bunch of slightly older figures, including Legacy Dragstrip on the 2nd floor in the TRU section. If you were waiting on this guy to see how Menasor looks, he's still available. No idea on price, since there are no tags on the figures or shelves, and the price check thing was in an error state. Did you know they run Windows?

    Providence Walmart has a Legacy Blitzwing, as of about 1pm this afternoon. It's behind a Galvatron and in front of another Galvatron.
    There was also SS Ironhide from Bumblebee movie.
    That was all I noticed of interest. (6 or so vintage Scopronoks in the clearance for $15... that's how much I paid for mine 25 years ago!)

    Middletown Gamestop has the Jurassic Park 2-pack on clearance for $94, and all clearance items are an additional 25% off. So, it'd be around $75, which is a reasonable price for a Leader and a Deluxe. There was also a Kingdom black Cheetor repaint on clearance for $16, I think, so around $12 with the extra 25% off.

    Has anyone been to Woonsocket Ollie's lately? I was thinking of stopping by Wed on my way home for Thanksgiving. But, I don't want to make the trip if it's just the same Rhinox army that's been there the past couple times I've stopped in.

    Newport Walmart has Crasher, G2 Shadowstrip, and a Clampdown. I don't think I saw Clampdown last time I was there, so I'm wondering if he's part of the Crasher/Shadowstrip case.

    There were clearance tags for some of the older exclusives. Voyagers (Override and green Grapple) for $25, beast Deluxes for $18. The general release wave 1 Deluxes seem to be full price, still. Some of them sat in the back so long, there's a thick coating of dust on the boxes and, since the boxes are open, the figures themselves. Still looks better than Siege battle damage.

    Portsmouth Walgreen's has 4 Kingdom Red Alert. They're not in the regular toy aisle, but the next aisle over in holiday stuff. Much of the holiday stuff has been marked 50% off. I didn't check if this applies to Red, since I don't want him. I look forward to getting Minerva in 2024.

    Anyone looking for some Earthspark products,? If so, the Target in the Warwick Mall has some.

    Warwick Toy Vault had Legacy Wave 3, Studio Series Sweeps, and an odd assortment of loose Transformers in plastic bags hanging from pegs. The glass case has mostly G1 toys, but the shelf behind it is remarkably sparse compared to before the Holiday Season. Hopefully they receive more product soon.

    Newport Walmart has Wolfang and Retrax reissues for $28 each. These are on the other side of the aisle from the dust covered exclusives they've had forever.

    The TJ-Maxx in the same plaza has Cyberverse 1-step Megatron, Blurr, and Repugnus for $5 each.

    Middletown Walgreens has 6 Kingdom Red Alerts. Like the Portsmouth Walgreens, these are stored on an end cap facing the back of store, not with the rest of the toys, and are easy to miss. I didn't see price tags.

    Newport Walmart has Earthspark Wave 1 Deluxes, Voyagers, Tacitcons, and Spin changer Bee. There's also a Retro G1 Starscream and a big Optimus that's branded Cyberverse Adventures, but I think is based on the RotB design.

    The few remaining Legacy Cores from the Iguanus wave have been clearanced to $6 and moved against the back wall, near the bikes.

    Also, there are dozens of derpy plushes of bot modes with one half showing the exterior and the other showing the interior. I didn't check how many different characters there were. I'm guessing these will be around forever, taking up much of the space allocated to TFs, making this Walmart even less likely to stock new Legacy/Evolution figures.

    Newport Walmart has clearanced those exclusive beast repaints of Scorponok, Cheetor, and Waspinator to $4.50. They're not in the regular clearance area, but a separate toy clearance aisle near sewing, not far from the toy department. A Legacy Galvatron clearance to $30 is in the regular clearance aisle.

    Middletown Barnes & Noble just got the Windblade model kit for $65. Better late and overpriced than never, I guess. They've had the Leo Prime model kit for a few weeks. I forget the price.

    also, for what it's worth, the Smithfield target is pretty barren, as of 2 weeks ago, just the nest ratchet & bonecrusher, some earthspark stuff, a few cores, a ss-90 galvatron, and one sludge
