Found a few Studio Series 86 figures at my local Walmart in the Greater Houston, TX area. The deluxe figures are currently on sale for $18.84 (i.e. Jazz and Blurr). The voyager figures are still MSRP at $29.99 (i.e. Scourge and Hot Rod). I haven’t spotted Kup or Grimlock, but hopefully they show up soon.

If your Cyclonus is still on back order at Target.com, it looks like they are starting to show up on shelves at Targets in the Greater Houston area. Unfortunately, I don’t think the inventory listings are accurate for this item online, in-store, or using the employee inventory scanner. There are supposedly a few Cyclonus figures scattered around the Greater Houston area with the stores that do have it showing 2 or so on-hand.

The second store said the same until another employee explained the difference between “TE” and st…

The Netflix Battle 3-Packs seem to be showing up in stores in the Greater North Houston area in Texas. I found a single Optimus Prime Battle 3-Pack at one store. At another, 3 Optimus Prime Battle 3-Packs along with 2 Soundwave Battle 3-Packs. The items didn’t have a place on the shelf, but the price at checkout appeared to be the pre-order price. Seeing that the Walmart.com pre-order system being terribly unreliable, the Soundwave Battle 3-Pack link inaccessible, and the recent backorder notification for the Soundwave bundle, it’s most likely collectors will need to risk catching COVID to get their hands on these items unless they are comfortable paying the marku…

Finally found all 4 of Earthrise Wave 3 Deluxe- figures at Target in Florida! S7nstreaker, Trailbreaker, Fasttrack, and Runamuck. They barely had any Wave 2!
