Hopefully this explains why the Wal-Mart near me hasn't ordered anything in a while. They may have been trying to clear space on the shelf. Then again, they haven't exactly been that great lately...

You never know with Walmart. One Walmart near me that used to be my go-to for getting new figures early has had basically their entire action figure aisle empty with some items in 3-4 shopping carts near the bike racks since late April! I found that they finally re-organized their toy section and restocked the SS deluxes. With wave 5.

I've physically seen the micromaster 10 pack at my target up here in Buffalo NY but no rain makers. Both sets came back in stock online so I grabbed them off of there.

I just picked mine (Jetfire) up on Hasbro Pulse, with free shipping

Mooresville, Indiana or North Carolina? Or someplace else?

Not that I have EVER had Brickseek work for me, but is there a DCPI for this guy?

Damn!

I just signed myself up for the email alert as well. Got my $40 coupon for the redcard and just ordered the Micromaster pack and Cheetor. Hopefully those stupid seekers are in stock when i am actually able to get them!

I do like the mold. It's not perfect, but Redwing has shown me that it is a good mold. Just gotta wait on Starscream to go on sale on amazon to get him or something, he is the only one I am not really chomping at the bit to get, since he isn't an exclusive, not out yet, and is kinda the weakest looking one

Where'd you get a $40 coupon for Red Card?

Signed up for the red card 2 weeks ago to get Redwing. TF-Kev ordered his after getting his red card, and there was an offer to get a $40 coupon if you signed up for red card. I caught the tail end of the deal and got the coupon today. it was a really awesome incentive, and I use Target enough that it will make itself handy.

I think Brunt's colors go really with Redwing. It's a catchy color combo. although, messing with him in this capacity, Brunt is definitely the figure who lends himself the least to weaponizing. He is the best individual by himself, but Sixgun is the best at weaponizing

That’s a sweet look!

Exclusives are the bane of any international collector. Whenever an item is not part of the mainline, all anyone cares about is how hard it will be to track down. And it's not simple since exclusives only get distributed if Hasbro finds a willing retailer. With Target having failed in Canada, it's never sure if a Target exclusive will make its way there. So it is good news to learn that the Siege Target exclusives will be distributed in Canada through Toysrus. This was already the place where the now surfacing Battle Damaged Studio Series Megatron was found, along with the Studio Series 15 Bumblebee, so we can see a trend.

The two Siege exclusives being referred to here are the Seeker three pack and the Micromaster ten pack. The ten pack has just been found in Montreal, Quebec. It is currently on sale for $47 but has a regular price of $60. The sighting comes to us from Gunslinger over at Cybertron.ca. Speaking of Micromasters, the wave 3 bots (ex: Blackjack) have been found in a Quebec City Walmart. The Seeker three pack will be coming soon, but has yet to be found.

Good luck to all Canadians on this hunt.

Come on man, I wrote a whole article about exactly what was confirmed. Is it really not clear? I am asking because if its not, then I will edit it.

People only look at photos and don’t read the articles.

Nono it’s good don’t edit it, it’s fine. Skritz probably just read it a little fast hey I do that sometimes too.

Or it could be like the Fargo–Moorhead Target stores, where they have apparently removed all Transformers toys from the shelves [sniffle]

Brickseek’s saying the Walmarts here in El Paso have them in stock, but given how frustrating it was for me to find G1 Soundwave and gang, I just ended up ordering one online. That way it’ll save me gas instead of futilely driving all over the place in 100 degree desert heat.

Found this yesterday when I went to my Walmart

He was put onto the 29.99$ Voyager pricepoint.

I tried that thing with Walmart where they sell you the item at the price it is was placed on...

It worked :-D

Jetfire is an amazing figure in hand, btw.

News Credits: 3 · by **SGMLordMirage** » Tue Aug 06, 2019 5:50 am

Seriously, you got him at that price?

Yeah, I'm just shocked. I got him yesterday, and I was worried to get a toy swap because of the tape on top.

Turns out I had nothing to worry about, and Siege Jetfire is just as amazing as everyone said he was.

He was alot lighter than I expected, though.
