    Yep, the Megatron/Quintesson wave never showed up here, stores were just completely clogged with Grapple.

    This Target got a BBM Wheeljack and Ratchet
    37062309-58E0-4874-BEF1-FA018662DB3F.jpeg
    Seeing them in person is quite impressive.

    Too bad I am not going to buy them because I am not getting any more BBM toys.

    This also means SS86 Perceptor was probably here and will be released in other places around the area soon.

    Here in OH it's just BW cats, skeleton-bots, SS86 Blurr/Kup, and Kingdom Tracks. Shelf-warming crap.

    Okay, so, first Target of the morning:
    20220319_090143.jpg

    Just an abject disappointment. Nothing of even slight interest.

    Second Target:
    20220319_120709.jpg

    Getting worse.

    Third Target:
    20220319_125922.jpg

    A case of "more" not necessarily meaning "better."

    Fourth Target:
    20220319_144408.jpg

    ...And we're finally cooking with gas. No Silverstreaks (and none for some time, judging by how many Origin Bees we got here), but B-127, Kup and Cliffjumper are all here.

    And Target #5, finishing up on a low note:
    20220319_165537.jpg

    At least I found something.

    This Target in my drivable area got Legacy Laser Optimus.

    It is very likely my area will get Legacy Blitzwing in this coming October. (Hopefully earlier, but that’s just the way things are these days)

    I like how that Target didn't even try to straighten up the boxes a little. Definitely a little "there, that oughta hold the little bastards" vibe going on there.

    Heads up, if you take those to the service desk you can get a 20% discount because they are “damaged.” I would have bought all of them.

    Be honest: would you have assumed that's the Transformers section if I hadn't told you?

    Grimlock's packaging has seen better days, but I'd snap it up if I were you...getting harder to find for reasonable prices anymore...

    At least you've got legacy, I'm yet to see anything of it. The BB Ravages which I'm not interested in are the only new thing around. By that I mean the empty boxes left behind on the shelves. :oops:

    My local TF sections have, in general, been pretty sad lately. There’s barely even any Cyberverse clogging the pegs anymore! I think most places are/were waiting for resets.
