The Autobot Ark WFC-K30 is available for immediate shipping from Walmart.com for $160. It’s sold and shipped by Walmart.com. If you missed the first wave of pre-orders, you may want to get in on these while supplies last. WFC-K30 Autobot Ark

Found Kingdom Tracks and Wingfinger at Walmart in the Greater Houston, TX area. Kingdom Wheeljack was also on shelves.

Found Core Soundwave at Target in the Greater Houston area. Dracodon was on shelves as well along with Core Optimus Prime and Megatron.

BestBuy.com has Kingdom Scorponok, Tracks, and Wingfinger available at the time of this posting. Scorponok Tracks Wingfinger

Found a few Galvatron figures at Target in the greater Houston, TX area. None had the fixed shoulder assembly. Be aware that the inventory count for Galvatron on the Target handheld scanner will also include the number of Kingdom Ultra Magnus.

Found a couple of Rhinox figures at a Walmart in the greater Houston, TX area. Both Walmart’s had a handful of Cyclonus and Optimus Primal figures as well.

Found a couple of Kingdom Dinobot figures as well as a single Kingdom Inferno figure at Target in the Greater Houston area.

The Headmasters wave 2 Walmart exclusives are starting to make their way to shelves in the greater Houston, TX area. I had to visit a couple of stores, but I got the entire wave 2 set. Happy hunting!

Found a SS86 Grimlock in the greater Houston, TX area today at Target. More importantly, the DCPI number (DPCI: 087-06-051) is currently not shared. This means you can have an employee look it up and see if there are any in stores nearby. That’s how I found mine. 😉 Good luck!

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 store I visited supposedly had 7 on the floor which I found hard to believe. If they did, I picked up the last figure. I also noticed Kingdom Optimus Prime and Beast Megatron on the shelves as well. Not too sure why they labeled it “Megatron (Beast)” on the packaging. I guess they will have the transmetal and dragon versions later.

If you absolutely must have the Netflix Bumblebee and can’t find it in stores. You can buy it from Walmart.com directly from Walmart for $39.99 which is actually better than the $50 price listed before Christmas. Definitely not the best deal. 😢 http://www.walmart.com/ip/Transformers-Generations-War-for-Cybertron-Series-Inspired-Deluxe-Bumblebee/272294830

Shipments of Earthrise Thrust are making its way to Target stores in the greater Houston, TX area. They are marked as “TE” which I was told was a transition date. It is supposed to be on shelves by January 6th. However, you can still buy them since it’s not street dated. Unfortunately, there seems to be some confusion depending on the employees you talk to about if they are able to sell it or not probably due to most employees being new. I visited a couple of stores where the first said that they may be listed as available on the app but are not available for purchase. The second store said the same until another employee explained the difference between “TE” and street date. Luckily, the other employee was able to find the item in the stock room, and I was able to purchase Thrust without issue minus the malfunctioning self-checkout terminal. I also spotted Core Optimus Prime, Core Rattrap, Kingdom Optimus Prime, and Kingdom Cheetor. Sadly,I forgot to get pictures of all of them.

In my hunt for Netflix WFC Bumblebee, I stumbled across Walmart #602 in Greater North Houston who is probably trying to clear shelf space for the next wave of figures. Main line (i.e. not Netflix) figures are on clearance. Deluxe figures for $10 with voyager figures for $17. Not many deluxe figures left on the shelf, but there were a ton of Grapple and Starscream figures. Again, this does not include the Netflix figures.

Had to be clearance items. I couldn’t find any at the store it listed closest to me. 😢

Saw this while searching online. Not sure if it’s a glitch, but it looks like Walmart has last year’s WFC figures on clearance. In-store only and only visible via the website and not in-app. Hopefully someone can confirm. Bluestreak-$2 Cog - $2 Crosshairs-$5

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 markup on the second hand market.

Did anyone else get a backorder notice from Walmart.com for the Netflix Soundwave 3-Pack? The Walmart pre-order system is notoriously unreliable, and I feel like it’s back to scouring the stores to find this item.

If you missed the first wave of pre-orders or have lost confidence in your current pre-order of the Netflix Transformers War for Cybertron Series Optimus Prime Battle 3-Pack, it’s currently available for immediate purchase on Walmart.com. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Transformers-War-for-Cybertron-Series-Optimus-Prime-Battle-3-Pack/205077575

Earthrise Arcee and Allicon are finally showing up at local brick and mortar stores in the greater Houston area. I saw these two at my local Walmart. Hopefully a Quintesson Judge shows up sooner or later.

If you can find them, Walgreens has Transformers figures at 25% off from November 15th to November 21st with your Walgreens membership.

If you missed the pre-order for the wave 2 Netflix leader class spoiler pack (i.e. Nemesis Prime). You can order it now at Walmart.com. It’s an immediate purchase and not a pre-order. It looks like the Netflix Soundwave, Bumblebee, and Optimus Prime figures in that wave have been pushed back to December.

Received an email from Walmart this morning stating that my Scorponok pre-order was cancelled because it was out of stock. It was still available on Walmart.com, so I was able to re-order it directly from Walmart. According to the customer support representative, they are not sure exactly why the pre-order was cancelled due to it being out of stock when it appears to be still available. For those who pre-ordered Scorponok through Walmart, you may want to confirm your order.

Stopped by my local Target today and saw MP Movie Starscream on clearance for 50% off.
