meh ill wait he prolly out at my walgreens anyways. plus shipping charges

While some of us have been lucky on our toy hunts to Walgreens and netted the figure, many others have had a lot of trouble finding the shop's exclusive Titans Return Brainstorm, or finding a Walgreens in their area at all. If you're the latter, fear not; for fellow Seribertronian nycPrime has alerted us to Brainstorm now being available online on Walgreen's website for $19.99! A retool of Wave 1's Blurr, this deluxe figure has identical tooling to the Brainstorm from the SDCC boxset but with a more G1 toy-inspired colour scheme as opposed to SDCC's accuracy to IDW's MTMTE comics - check out fellow board user Carytehone's pictorial review of the figure for a better in-hand look if you're on the fence about it, and check out the link below if you're interested in buying him!

its 19.99 when i could get him for 17.99

I guess a picture 'is' worth a thousand words as I did say that about the landing gear being useful to put the gun on 'Brainstorm's' back several posts higher up... 'sigh'.

Oh and remember who UK store TK Maxx first had cheap RID Minicons for £3.99 then they had TR Leaders in the last couple of weeks for £24.99 then they had Sky Lynx & Onslaught CW Voyagers for £12.99 - well they are still at it they have not had even more types of Rescue Bots (including the ones with the trailers that turn into guns) for £12.99 - they also had the RID with Minicons 2 packs and most interestingly of all they now have had TR Voyagers spotted - TR Galvatron in particular so far.

I'd not be surprised if that means they have some Sentinel Prime too.

I'm pretty sure they are getting this stuff from Eastern European sources (as was the Case with Beast Hunters Constructbots too).

Buy 2,return 1 to store =free shipping. Extra $2 worth hassle of the hunt

Just called my local Walgreens. The site said they had 2-5 instock, but the customer service lady said that the truck had just arrived, and they probably wouldn't be finished unloading until tomorrow. Once the dawn awakens, I shall resume my search with renewed vigor!

The 3 stores closest to me supposedly all had them in stock. I went to one of them and found nothing but the Chromedome wave. (Which was nice, but I already have them.) I have seen it before where stores use the same stock number for similar items. Since these are all Transformers Deluxe class, they might all get the same stock number. So it gives you the impression they have Brainstorm when it really means they have Deluxes. I have no idea if that is the case, just a possibility. So hate hunting for figures these days, I don't have time. So I just ordered online. Done.

brainstorm has a different number than the others

I stopped by 1 store by my office earlier this evening b/c it supposedly had 2-5 in stock. When I showed up, they only had 2 Mindwipes. I noticed a few by my house also supposedly have it in stock, so I'll be hunting with the 20% off coupon in hand tomorrow.

read the fine print on that coupon

Haha wow. They might as well exclude everything. Is there anything it doesn't exclude?!

yep

BTW just noticed HTS has Astrotrain and A3 available (as well as some new RiD stuff). Regular retail price but I think they have that 20% off coupon for signing up for their email list. I can't confirm that still works though.

Hopefully with this it means the stores will slowly roll out new stuff (looking at you wave 2 deluxes)

You would think that, remember Braingate? How he appeared at Walmart despite him being exclusive to Walgreens? It's all due to his product code, a combination of the assortment and product numbers: despite being exclusive, he has the general retail assortment number, and a product code that's in sequence with wave 1.

on the reciept it says brainstorm unlike the othrs. so its an only walgreens different number i guess.idk. all i know is
#Braingate

has anybody seen this guy in any of the Oregon Walgreens yet especially around the Portland area?

So after I made this post, I immediately of course started wondering if there's any individuals in the Titan Master class that look good on Wolfwire? Because it'd be nice if everything about the robot mode could look incredible rather than everything sans the face. I don't have any attachment to the character - I say this, watch him appear randomly in Lost Light or OP and immediately become my favourite character - so I don't really mind ditching Monxo. Monzo?
Pics appreciated but not necessary.

I have Terribul on my Wolfwire right now. I wouldn't say it's great but might be worth checking out.
