    He was found at Target already, Is this the first sighting where he is actually supposed to be at Walmart?

    I was excited for a brief moment. Until i realised it was one step garbage. Seriously Hasbro, why no Deluxe?

    I knew he was already spotted at Target but not Walmart. That was the only one I found.

    I wonder if he's shipping in pure Stinger cases like the Walmart exclusive DOTM deluxes did. If he's not I don't see him hitting saturation for a while, if ever. A lot of Walmarts have excess stock of one-steps from their endcaps that were phased out during the last reset.

    At least that's the impression that I got after driving back out to LA for University a couple weeks ago, maybe its just the Southwest, but stores in Colorado, Utah, Arizona and California all seemed to have this problem.

    This thing is a piece of junk. It feels like it's going to fall apart in my hands. 7 bucks down the drain.

    Once again we will not get a toy of the best car in the movie. The fact we got the Lambo is nice but they are making some really poor marketing decisions that cause frustration and disappointment among kids and their fanbase.

    They realized a deluxe would barely be any better. Seriously the AOE is an embarrassment, so much so that they canned it 2.5 waves in.

    I didn't realize bumping a thread that was only a month old was a problem, officer.
