The store did increase their Marvel legends prices to 32.99, so we'll see

So I've been thinking I was going to skip cheetor and grab him on the Netflix line... but looking at how damn impossible it is to get Netflix figures... might be better to just get Kingdom Cheetor.

If I'm watching right from the start, is there any hope in getting Netflix Cheetor? Was there ANY point where getting bumblebee wasn't so bad?

Honestly if things don't change your best bet is to get the regular Cheetor on sale somewhere. Eventually it will go on sale, and being wave 1 there will be plenty.

The Netflix exclusives are just a s#$t show trying to get your hands on them.

Such a shame. I'd definitely prefer the Netflix version. I really don't understand the point of creating such scarcity. Supply and demand and all that. Oh well, is what it is.

There's supply and demand, then there's the Hasbro/Walmart distribution stupidity. I barely got a Netflix Soundwave, because I finally happened to be at home and awake when Walmart posted some stock through the app Thankfully that's all I was looking for. Never saw any of the others anywhere.


Thankfully there's nothing standing out in the Kingdom line that I must have. I can pass them all pretty easily.

Bumblebee was super hard to get. I made a daily morning walk to Walmart when he was first spotted and I got him that week. Never saw him again.

Cheetor may not be as bad though since he is a minor redeco of a figure that will be on shelves at the same time.

Yeah. Past Netflix waves, the minor redocs sat around much longer (a day or two to multiple weeks). Megs sat around forever. As did Hound and Sideswipe from WAve 1. In Wave 2, Optimus would usually hang around for a few days, and Wheeljack for a few weeks. Impactor for a couple of days. So Cheetor might not be as bad as new characters/molds. But I'd still go with what others have said and just get the Kingdom one for now. Even if you keep it sealed to return later if you get lucky...

I've seen quite a few people say they are waiting for Netflix Cheetor so I would not expect him to just be sitting around for weeks. Especially in the current climate for finding toys at Walmart.

SS Blurr (current qty; 10) back in stock @ $25.22

Transformers Toys Studio Series 86-03 Deluxe Class The Transformers: The Movie 1986 Blurr Action Figure - Ages 8 and Up, 4.5-inch : www.walmart.ca/en/ip/6000202690153

Was able to grab the Blur. For all the annoyances Wal-Mart brings sometimes their prices on bots and other figures are steals on occasion.

I like grabbing Lightning Collection Power Rangers from there since they're all 24.97 instead of 29.99 or 32.99
