Thanks to 2005 Boards member MagnusWave931 f0r sharing in our boards photographic proof of his sighting of the Transformers Studio Series Wave 12 Leader Snarl at US retail.
Studio Series SS 86-19 Snarl was found at a Gamestop store in Hazlet, New Jersey.
Happy hunting!

Probably, I mean I still keep running into Sludge in stores. It was the same with Slag last year.

Hopefully this guy gets inserted into a future wave of Leaders since there were some online stores who didn’t get him in the first time around. I’d rather not have a Dinobot collection with a Snarl-shaped hole in it.

I still haven\'t seen one makes me so mad I can\'t wait to see swoop for a million dollars on ebay

All, if you think a sighting is new, check the front page:
Transformer World 2005 – TFW2005.COM
Or the 1st few pages of this forum:
Transformers News and Rumors
If the sighting hasn’t been reported in either, a new thread can be made in the news and rumors forum. It’s best to have a picture of the figure and provide a location.
Snarl was available for purchase at some GameStop locations at the end of July.

Better that than writing it here after the facts when it helps no one and sounds like complaining. Pretty sure they find posts like that more annoying.

I worry about spamming them tbh

From the sounds of it, I should start checking my local Gamestop. I don't think I've seen any leader figures there, but it's worth a shot.

Mods don’t check all the sightings threads. So unless you tag a mod or post your sighting here in the news forum, they won’t immediately know about it.
The credited sighting here most likely would’ve gone unnoticed as well if I (or anyone else in the NJ thread) didn’t ping Black Convoy

I assumed he was cancelled. It's been forever since he was announced and then sold out @ Pulse store.
Everything is really delayed, seems like … cause stores are coming down from the Pandemic-ship-problems hangover.
Since Sludge is still out and about, me thinks piles of Snarls are heading to a discounter near you, soon!

If it’s like Sludge, it’s spotted once at a GameStop or independent store, and then appears in big box stores 11 months later.
I can think of 2 Walmarts and one Target that have Sludge on shelves right now.

Finally. Bring on Swoop!!

He ships in solid cases

Wish Hasbro EU would re-stock this guy. Been waiting for a while, but even after the preorder date passed they did not restock.

I found a couple snarls at GameStop like 2 weeks ago. Bought one. Even posted it in Texas sightings

He will be spotted once and never seen again. Just like in the 86 movie.

I found one at the GameStop in Milford, CT a few days ago and even posted it

I saw Blitzwing in the Gamestop while walking through the mall, maybe 3 weeks ago on a Friday night.
Had a couple beers at the theatre, then went and picked him up.
They tried to charge me 5 bucks for a bag, I said no thanks.
Went in the bathroom and opened the box, he was in tank mode , so I took everything and put it in my pocket, wrapped my cloth face mask around it, had a couple beers at the Round1 arcade, then ubered home.
It was a good time, hadn't bought a fig from a store in years

Got mine already from BBTS.
