The Walmart website said that the New Hope Church Rd store had one reissue Astrotrain left, so I went and checked it out on my lunch break. While the inventory count could have just been wrong, it's more likely that the toy's located in some nonsense spot in the tornado wreckage that is that store's toy department. If anyone wants to go look for it, godspeed.

Bought all the ER deluxes except for Hoist at Apex Target. He's probably in the back along with more of the others, I had to get back to work for a meeting so didn't have time to ask about it.

Went by Ultimate Comics Raleigh yesterday (one near Triangle Town Center) because I had my subs at Fight or Flight and their little "merger" is just about done. Anyway, they had one each of Ectotron and MP-45.

Best Buy across the street had two Grapples and no other TFs.

Picked up the only Thundercracker and Skywarp set at Knightdale Target. App said they were out, but I'm better than it.

Got a Skylynx at the Grove Barton Target in Raleigh last night. Had to ask an employee to get it from the backroom.

Today, got a Snapdragon from the TTC Target in Raleigh. Also found one at the North Hills Target and the Holly Springs Target.

Knightdale Target has the clone 2 packs, for half off even. Also, hello after not posting for a while.

Stopped in at Wilson Target and Walmart stores while I was in the area. Grabbed the last Sky Lynx from Target and saw one Scrapface at Walmart. The Target also had some other harder to find collectibles like the new GI Joe Destro figure, but since I’m not a Joe fan or a scalper, I left them for some other wandering collector to find.

Grabbed the (allegedly) only MPM Ratchet at Knightdale Target, actually did the buy online and pickup in store thing via the app and they came through. A couple Overloads, Sky Lynx and Leadfeet left there as of yesterday if anyone needs em.

Bought the last Fasttrack from North Hills Target, left Sunstreaker and Trailbreaker. No Runamucks. They also had four Runabouts, but they were street-dated December 1, so they couldn’t be sold.

Got the OP and Soundwave Netflix Voyager sets at the Walmart near Triangle Town Center. There was only one of each set and no more are remaining. Nothing else to note like the deluxe class figures either, but hey, looks like some of this stuff is getting around. Glad I went early, was actually possible to keep my distance from other people!

Hit Brier Creek Target in way home, they had received the first wave of Kingdom. The core class and BW Megs were gone (leader kingdom packaging OP was there) but there were 2 Primals, 1 Cyclonus, 2 Cheets, 2 Black, 2 Warpath, and 2 Paleotrex. I bought one of each new character except for Cheetor, I’m holding out for the Netflix/Walmart redeco.

Grabbed a set of w3 Netflix deluxes at New Bern Ave Walmart around lunchtime. Left one Deep Cover. Had gone looking for wave 2 Headmasters and struck out, but these will do fine! Had a smattering of other stuff like Kingdom Primal, SS86 Hot Rod, Blurr, wave 1 Headmasters, and a lone Kingdom Cheetor.

Yesterday - bought the last Sweep at New Hope Church Road Walmart in Raleigh, left a Tigatron. Triangle Town Target had nothing new enough to talk about. Walmart across the road had a couple Sweeps which I left there.

Today - Got the only Bee Movie Soundwave at Cary Walmart at Tryon/Kildaire Farm. There were two Sweeps and two Tigatrons also still there, plus tons of the Beast Wars reissues and Kingdom deluxe Wave 3 if you need any of those.

None of those locations had anything else for Kingdom wave 4 (no Blaster, Pipes or Slammer)

Got the only Armada Megatron at Triangle Town Walmart a bit before noon today, so those are likely around elsewhere. Also one RotB Voyager Prime left and four Rhinoxes. Plenty of other stuff too but nothing noteworthy.

Morrisville Walmart, found the Thundertron 3pk finally, and in the clearance section for $5 off. Only one I could see and there were no Star Seekers in main toy section other than Road Hog.

Just saw it was on sale online for Cyber Monday for about $10 less. Ah well, I’ll consider the difference to be covering the shipping I would have paid for ordering just it alone.
