- Motto: "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes"
So I guess other than the 3 remaining GO sets from Amazon, we can call Earthrise "Done" at this point, seeing as how new stock seems to be all Kingdom. I'll just say at the outset, I did get all my wants from the line, but I did not see them all physically in stores. It's still a litmus test I like to do. I know online shopping is becoming more prominent (in fact it was the only way I was able to get any wave 3 ER), but that is the problem, To me, if the only way to get something that is a non-exclusive, is online, then that is a sign to me that something is definitely wrong. Now of course, I'm taking the Pandemic into account for sure, but as we know in previous years there have still been issues with Distribution, with that said, here is my final tally:
ER Sightings -
All Battlemasters Sighted
All Micromasters sighted
Deluxes (Only wave 1 and 2), -Wave 3- Never sighted at retail
Voyagers Only wave 1 and 2 (Quintesson Judge and Megatron never sighted at retail)
Leaders- All Sighted
CC Skylynx- sighted multiple times
Titan Scorponok sighted one time, only 1 in stock
Target Exclusives
Decepticon Clones Sighted 3 times, multiple stock of each
Villains 2 pack (Seen once, only 1 in stock)
Runabout (Seen once, only 1 in stock)
Thrust (Seen once, only 1 in stock)
Kingdom "so far" seems to be doing better, as just today I sighted deluxe wave 1 at a local walmart, making my sightings in-store of Wave 1 now complete, and this is just the end of January.
