If I hadn't picked up some Fortnite figures for the god-kids on the same trip I might have picked up the cheap Astrotrain. Would be cool to add some custom paint marks to a couple and call them his Astroforce :lol:

Head's up for anyone thinking of using Walgreen's web site to determine whether your local store has them in stock: Don't believe their website. The WFC deluxes all share the same inventory code/slot as Bluestreak. He shows up as in stock at my local store, but all they have is 2 Ironworks.

Already it is sold out. When I try to add it to my cart, it's automatically removed and says it is "unavailable."

EDIT:

And now is it completely unavailable for shipping. I hope I can find Bluestreak in stores.

Where can I get that version of Prowl and Mirage?
Got Bluestreak ordered on Walgreens site

Same... Literally was trying to check stock in other stores, and suddenly "This item is no longer in stock at our stores".

Well the hunt is definitely on.

In better news, my Prowl/Ironhide 2 pack will be arriving in just over 2 weeks!

Assuming you're referring to the ones in the ER Bluestreak news article photo? eBay or Ross. They're just SIEGE Prowl and Mirage with mixed-quality aftermarket stickers. Including, unfortunately, the ones that cover Prowl's clear plastic and thus make him look like a cheap Happy Meal toy.

I'm hoping since the Conehead 2-pack shipped on time that this 2-pack will ship on time as well. They shenanigans with the Galactic Oddysey has me concerned.

The Judge and Megatron are Wave 3; Voyager Wave 2 is Snapdragon.

In my area of DFW, the Targets have Wave 2 in Battle Masters and Micromasters I think?, and Walmart has Snapdragon (and lots of him!). The Deluxes are stuck on Wave 1 still at both stores, which is not that surprising, really.

Yeah, I hear ya...
I've had such great luck with Amazon I can't help but think that's probably run its course, and this time I could have some sort of issue.
I guess we'll see.

I've finally received Earthrise Smokescreen from Amazon as of this evening! That was the last Wave 2 Deluxe figure I needed. Now, of course, Wave 2 Deluxe Class figures will finally pop up all over the place around me. I do have one issue, though. Amazon just put a bubble wrap mailing envelope around my Smokescreen box, and, of course, it arrived all dinged up, to the point where the tape popped off the top diagonal corner from the carboard being smashed there. Luckily, there seems to be no damage to the figure or anything else inside the box.

That would be the plastic insulation tray doing its job then.

Only wave 2 anything I've seen in stores around here are the micros once for each pair and a lone Snapdragon

Well, even though I ordered him back in February or whenever Target had that deal, my Voyager Quint was canceled by Target. I approved three delays on the darn thing and they still couldn't get it to me. Now I'm worried about Thrust and Gigawatt

I know other people who had their Quints cancelled, but also I know people who bought 5 and received all 5, so there's that.

I have yet to actually have a Target pre-order cancelled, so here's hoping that that luck holds for Thrust and Runabout, and for that matter Overload, Sunstreaker, Vertebreak, and Gigawatt

Has anyone received Bluestreak from Walgreens yet? I got a notice that my shipment arrived, but I haven't had a chance to go pick it up yet.

Pretty sure this is why I'm upset. Walmart and Target seem to not have their stuff together when it comes to pre-order quantities like they over-commit or something. With Amazon, I know I will get my product. But I honestly cannot trust Walmart or Target, I either find the items in store first or they cancel on me.

The quints were also a weird case in that WFC-E number wise, they are numbered to be in wave 2, but all the official wave breakdowns have him in wave 3 with Megatron. At the same time, their release date at least with Target was always aligned with wave 2.

I ordered 3, received 2 and had 1 cancelled on me. I'm a little irritated on missing the last one at $15 from the sale, but I also ordered 3 before we know about the pit of judgement set, so I ended up with 3 in the end anyway.

It's looking like the Pit of Judgement will be my first taste of the Quint unless I see him in store, but I honestly don't know if I want to pay full price since I am getting the PoJ. I guess it all depends on how much fun he is one I get my hands on one.
