Some things take a while to happen and it seems this was the case with Kingdom Red Alert. First revealed while back in 2021, it was later announced as a Walgreens exclusive in the US. While it was indeed available online (and shipped by this time) we hadn’t heard any sighting at physical Walgreens stores. Now we have images of this figure at a Walgreens in Washington, Michigan but it had showed up sporadically since September in other areas.
Time to check your local Walgreens to try to grab this mold to complete your War For Cybertron collection.

I am also still trying to find a red alert in Cincinnati .. Tonight I went to a Walgreens that said they had them and it was kingdom tracks, shadowpanther, and wheeljack..

Create a thread for this in the news section with pics!! This sounds like the first Minerva US sighting!!!!

I know I'm shocked. Getting her and Red Alert would be a total win but I'll take what I can get!
Seanprime
Wait wait wait; you got a Minerva at a Walgreens?!?!?

Grabbed one for in-store pick up and got a Wheeljack handed to me. Store manager actually grabbed the item off the shelf and said every Kindgdom figure in the assortment, Red Alert included is on the same SKU. If your store is showing available for pick-up, go in person. More than likely they have the wave but no Red Alert. Store did have Minerva so I just exchanged.

Spendy option, but you could get a Red Alert and a Wal-mart Clampdown and do a head swap.
(Clampdown has the Red Alert mold head… if your looking for the Sideswip head, lots more options, gotta believe one could find Netflix Sideswipe pretty cheap.)

Yep that's what inspired me to look in local Connecticut stores here, and low and behold, there he is, and he's been shelf warming too.

I'm looking for a couple of these locally with no luck for the last month or so.

If anyone sees one locally and could pick up an extra I still need a Kingdom Red Alert!

If I come across any, I'll definitely get some since I need materials for a couple of customs.

Typical result of a toy taking forever to materialize at retail. At first people bicker about it, then they resign and order it online. Eventually it does get released months later, people see it and figure "probably old news, no reason to report it". Eventually someone thinks it's newsworthy, and reports it, only for other people to point out that they saw it months ago.

No, I think the best lesson to draw is something like "Don't expect."

Wait, this is news? There's been a ton of these in my local Walgreens for months, marked down to about $18.

This is news? I guess newsworthy for a second run in stores… I found mine a year ago…
renkencen
Better late than never I guess?
Granted I assuming the people that really wanted him already bought him online?

This exclusive model is one of the reasons I stopped actively collecting. At least there was a chance to get this on Pulse.
