Yeah, please report when you hear of stuff like that.

Cool, you would be surprised the stuff people report finding there.

The Minions saw that set at Ross recently. But we already reviewed AirRazor, and I'm lousy with figures using the Sideswipe mold, including Gigawatt...

Modesto/Ceres, CA!

I live about a mile from a ROSS, so on my walk yesterday, I altered my course and decided to check out the place.
Of course, this was immediately after reading the News posting.
BOOM!

Although, mine was marked $10!
But I can't find a reason to be mad.

Any sighting of its counterpart with Mirage and Grimlock?

So kind of random, but Walgreens.com appears to have Kingdom Red Alert available for shipping if you missed out.

Brain fart? (fixed it on the original post)

Is anyone in the US still missing a Kingdom Red Alert? For all intents and purposes, this toy was an online exclusive in the US and if anyone waited to see hi in stores and never did, well now you have a chance to get him online again. He was restocked a week ago so this is more of an FYI in case it helps. Let us know if it does. We thank fellow Seibertronian TF-fan kev777 for letting us know.

Cool, I don't have a Red Alert!

Easy skip, I don't have an Inferno to go with it.

I actually saw this a few days ago, didn't know it would be newsworthy though...I was looking for Minerva
I actually think they has ER Bluestreak in stock on the site as well, but I could be mistaken.

At any rate, I really don't know how anyone in the U.S. is going to get Minerva, unless it just randomly shows up on the site one day. The video Spectre Creative did a while back about the Toy executive of Walgreens who was championing exclusives, no longer being there is definitely proving true. All Walgreens stores near me, the toy section is going back to generics. No Funko Pops at all, no new Hasbro product. I don't even see tags on shelves for any TF or Marvel Legends etc.

Minerva, will probably be the last WG exclusive ( I hope). Probably a leftover obligation of an old contract. I'd be absolutely shocked if they had one for 2023.

Damnation too little too late I guess. The cart continues to say "empty". Anyone else getting this? I suppose it's sold out.

But thanks anyway for the heads up! ;)^

Yessss!

After a few tries my order was accepted and paid for...I hope no BS affects the process!

I came close too paying current eBay prices. #-o

So i had Kingdom Road Rage bookmarked for months on the off chance the Redcard exclusivity would be lifted, and low and behold, I was able to order her earlier in the day without it. Don't know if it's a glitch, or similiar case to T-Wrecks, but just letting you guys know just in case you're curious.

Is anyone still missing Kingdom Roadrage? It is still available on Target's site, as it has been for a long while, but the big difference now is that apparently people without the red card can order it. One of our fellow Seibertronians Slashercon was able to do so, so we are relaying the message to you in case it helps.

30+ years on this planet and this is the first time I've ever needed to resort to a shipping proxy service.

I don't know if I should be proud of myself or if this is the point where my Transformers collecting has officially gone too far. xD

Thanks all the same for the heads-up on this!

Road Rage is now half off too.

Is anyone still missing Kingdom Road Rage? It is still available on Target's site, no longer a red card exclusive and now 50% off!!! We thanks everyone who wrote in to tell us.

Here I was thinking to myself, 'Patience pays off' in regards to waiting for Road Rage's availability, ordering one last night. Had I been patient just a little bit longer...! :lol:

I feel ya', except I broke down and bought one off Ebay 2 weeks ago.

Oh well, maybe I should buy a spare for upgrades anyway...

Phew, I do feel lucky being patient...
I already have Tracks and I love the figure quite a lot, I'm glad I can second dip now without needing to spend too much! :DANCE:

What happened? Did they get stuck with a giant stock because no one wanted to deal with their Red Card garbage? Serves them right. I hope they never get rid of them.
