Transformers Kingdom Red Alert Restocked at Walgreens.com

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.

Yay, congrats on that

Thanks WJ!

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...!

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!

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.

Moe than likely some 3rd party seller will just scoop them up and then raise the price to $30 because they're now OOS! lol
This is what always seems to happen with exclusive items that go to deep sales or clearance.

I'd like to have played the waiting game with Silverstreak to save a few on such a repaint but couldn't take that chance due to the fiasco with CliffJumper never being stocked or the trouble I had getting Origins Bee or the fact I never once saw Thrust.

I'm still playing the waiting game with toy-colors Terrorsaur and Dinobot. The former I'll probably flinch and pay full price for once his pegs start thinning, due to his historic lack of updates, but another voyager Dinobot I'm not buying without a discount anyway; already bought a batch of rainbow KOs of that mold.

All the reviews I checked indicated that the Tracks mold was only so-so, and I skipped it. While $12-ish is a great deal (in the current inflation explosion), I still think I'll pass...

Does anyone have the back neck piece for T-Wrecks? I received it second-hand and it is the only piece missing on my copy (which can be blamed due to it not being pinned a la the early copies of Studio Series Classic Camaro Bumblebee)

Kinda nuts how my favorite Titan and the best quality Titan came out in back to back years

I had the pain in the ass privilege of transforming Rodimus Prime into alt mode and it was enough for me not to do it again anytime soon!

He is rather complicated, and the one torso joint tends to be awkward, but I still ultimately enjoy transforming him.



Speaking of Roddy, look what his camper can fit if you take the cannon emplacement out.

Just to be clear, that's Generations Wheeljack from 2011 in the above, not Earthrise.


Blaster arrived today, been enjoying him thus far. Happy about his size.


Don't mind them, they're just blasting some tunes.

Did you find plenty of all waves of the voyager class figures from the Kingdom line? I ask because it looks like there is a bunch that never made it to retail and now Ollie's has them. The ad below shows Primal, Cyclonus and Rhinox. While the deal is not jaw dropping, this can be a chance for people who missed out on these to get them, and at a good price too. We thank xrotorstormx for letting us know of this.

I reported Rhinox and Cyclonus showing up there 2 months ago in the Michigan sightings thread, and it's been just Rhinox since then.

The fliers in the aisle at my Ollie'ses all just showed Dinobot, which may as well be telling their customers to try Target instead. My guess is you're as likely to find RTS Windcharger at your local 5 Below as find Primal at Ollie's, but today's the last day for their coupon, so I'll check anyway.

All the Ollie's around ne have had cyclonus and rhinox since last Xmas. Nothing new. Never the dinobot they pictured. Doibt they'll ever have primal.

Yeah, we knew of those but someone sent us this new flyer of theirs so I was hoping for you guys it meant Primal would be there too.

Ours had Rhinox and Tigatron and that was it. I got there about 2 weeks after the flyer though so the rest may have sold already.

I love his transformation. No pain int he ass at al.

Is it involved, yes. It's frankly quite involved, but overall I find it satisfying. Unless you have no idea what you are doing, then I can see it can be a bit confusing and overwhelming. But once you get the hand of it, it's a fairly interesting and logical process.

I was checking a few Walgreens near me in hope of finding Legacy Minerva. Instead I found Kingdom wave 4 AND Red Alert.



So, I guess we check next Christmas for Minerva?

It kinda makes you miss that clone two-pack, eh?

Seriously though, I've heard almost a million different reasons as to how Walgreens stocks its items, especially exclusives.

I had a similar experience with finding Earthrise figures at Walgreens about 9 months after Earthrise came off the shelves everywhere else. Bluestreak, Allicon, Airwave, and Arcee were all available for $19.99 at one of my local Walgreens.
Based on that, I'd say yeah, you're likely to find Minerva many months after the fact!

T-Wrecks VS Nemesis Primal. A perfect rivalry!

I´d never of thought of that! Good one

Now that I have finally been able to free him, I give you, the upgraded CW Magnaboss using the Kingdom Skywarp

If I could like a forum post, I'd would like the hell out of that

Pretty cool. I have Magnaboss as well, although I have it with the con exclusives Tigatron and Unit 3. If adding Skywarp would work under any circumstance I'll go for it.

I ended up getting Tigatron, but he is on a separate combiner where I like him more. I never got Unit 3, and might not end up getting it since he is super expensive.

Official updated magnaboss and mangaboss when?

"Mangaboss"?

I have a feeling neither Hasbro nor Takara Tomy would feel much need to do Magnaboss twice just for a slightly different deco.

Kingdom KD-EX Burning Optimus Primal

Of course, the burning ape had to happen sooner or later.

Was the Robotmasters version of Burning Primal the one with the DVD?

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Was the Robotmasters version of Burning Primal the one with the DVD?

A DVD came with that Burning Beast Convoy, yes.

That mold was also a short Deluxe.

I know, I have it. Just couldn't remember if it was burning or not.

I think most fans were hoping, now that we had Lio Convoy, that TT would have released a Voyager 2 pack of Burning and Flash Lio together....oh well

Dammit... I wanted another burning Convoy!

So I got the DNA upgrade kit for I-ark-onus, which gave him much better hands, as well as some gap filling. the hands made him so much better, those alone were worth the kit to me. I-ark-onus is my favorite of the Titans so far, so I am glad he got to get some improvements. War titan commander Rodimus is also pleased, his standing spot is more stable now

I've got a customer who bought WFC-K30 The Ark from the Seibertron Store. He's claiming that the golden disks were not included with the set. Can anyone confirm that the golden disks were stored inside of Mainframe from the get-go and not inside of an accessory bag or elsewhere in the package? It's been a while since I opened mine so I can't remember where the disks were originally stored. Just going by some YouTube videos that don't really state where the disks were but they show up in Mainframe during transformations, but I just want to confirm that is where they were initially stored from the factory. Thanks for your help!
