    I've been so tempted by that. I got my first one from Amazon, and I still have yet to even see one in an actual store. I've only seen their case-mate Brunts and Red Alerts everywhere. The first time was okay, but I can't bring myself to pay 150% each of his in-store price for two more of him -_-'

    I picked up 4 refraktors this morning 2 at each of the Manassas Walmarts. 1 is available to who ever needs one to complete a set or get a start on a set.

    It's sold out from Amazon now. When I posted the link it was a listing directly from Amazon at $19.99. I ordered 3.

    Whenever I've gone to his Amazon page, it's been like $29.99. But I know the prices on Amazon fluctuate weirdly depending on the hour of the day or day of the week. Apparently I just keep checking it at the wrong time.

    Like, this is what it looks like for me right now:

    Amazon had some in stock, sold out, and so it defaulted to a third party seller. I almost pulled the trigger on the $30 listing, but got lucky today. I purposely chose slower shipping to get the free digital code. I also used the free $5 gift card I mentioned on Prime Day.

    BTW, I checked out Target at Fair Lakes and a few Walmarts (Fair Lakes, Jermantown Rd / Fairfax, Tysons West) on Friday. Pretty much all were packed with Siege wave 1+2 Deluxes. The Target had a bunch of Shockwaves and Galaxy Optimus'. Walmart Fair Lakes had a couple each of Starscream and Soundwave. A couple Red Alerts at Germantown Rd. Nothing new-new, though. No Refraktors or Brunts.

    As of Thursday night, the Targets in Mosaic and Skyline had one Springer each.

    Does anyone in NoVA want one of the siege seeker three packs? I’m standing in Burke target now about to buy both of the ones they have but I really only need one.

    I'm in DC and will want one. But can't really afford to pay for shipping, was just going to wait until I came across it in stores. But if you have it and are coming to DC sometime, I'd take it off your hands.

    I don’t usually get away from Fairfax county. I can hang on to it for 90 days or until someone wants it.

    I'm in California until Saturday. If I can't find it our here, I'd definitely be interested in your extra set

    Brickseek is not accurate at all.

    I hit Chantilly, Fair Lakes, Sterling, and Gainsville. They all show 2 in stock; 0 on the floor / 0 in the warehouse/ 2 on hand. They are all part of the toy department reset. So they are on a miscellaneous pallet in the warehouse and not put into the inventory system yet. So do not waste your time. Burke put there's out a week earlier than they were supposed to.

    Springfield Target had one Rainmaker set. It took every bit of my strength to not buy it. It was still there as of around 1:00 PM today.


    I did have a baconator last Wednesday, though. *sigh*

    I was at Mosaic Target this morning before work for non-TF-related reasons, although I did look in at the aisle. Nothing new to be seen... although Brickseek says they have the Rainmakers in stock. I'm not interested in that set, myself, but if I do see it somewhere I'll let y'all know. (The Micromaster 10-pack, on the other hand... I have a mighty need.)

    Chantilly and Sterling Target both had one rainmaker paxk as of 8:30ish this morning. Didnt get either.


    The paint on the Chantilly set was janky.

    Updated for clarity.
