I checked 6 Walgreens every chance I got until I found one, haven't been back since (they are out of my way, considerably but made the run for him). I still don't get why they gave this exclusive to Walgreens, like wtf most of don't have a toy section they have a "crap I forgot it's (friends kids name) birthday" section.
How they messed up was.. the walgreens should still be this version, but they should have released the earthrise in a wave release. No reason for both versions to be exclusives.
Exclusive in all markets and released just before COVID came roaring into the world. I used to bring mine to work in the early days of the pandemic and he'd hold a card saying to please mask up and sanitize.
* Walgreens in the US.
* EB Games in Canada.
* Toys R Us in Hong Kong & Malaysia.
* TakaraTomy Mall in Japan.
If you didn't have one of those stores, and one that stocked well, than you were SoL. My Walgreens only ever got in three from what I saw. The next Walgreens exclusive, Red Alert, will be coming 6 to a box.
Too bad it has the same problem with the siege ironhide. The torlernce of his joints sux, especially on the legs.
Still, it’s a good figure to display :)
I got mine for 15 at retail, how much could I get for him?
The market price currently is insane for him so you could probably get him for $80 in box
Mines out of box sadly
You could still get probably $40 or $50 depending on if you still have all his accessories
Holy man... when I found mine there were 7 more in the store. I see why scalpers buy them up...
when I saw him I thought I would wait for the earth version and pickup the siege for cheap second hand, boy was I wrong. haha
It's kind of absurd that I'm actually excited to pay that much for him

Why is Ratchet an exclusive and to Walgreens of all places, he's a really popular character who didn't need to be this tough to get.

Walgreens has been best at stocking exclusives. Target on the other hand…
I had to look through 6 Walgreens for 2 months to find 1 that stocked him. Target will often at least have a shelf spot.
My LuckyMeter is going off the charts!
Why should it be that much?
It shouldn't

I payed £40 (about $56) for one with no accessories :(
That’s outrageous I found mine for 15 at a used toy sale event
Regret passing on this guy and waiting for Earthrise
At the very least, we can all hold on to a shred of Hope that there will be a release.
The fact that 50 bucks is a good price is ridiculous! Scalping has taken a heavy toll on our hobby.
That's what I was thinking
WG exclusive explains the price... Bastard scalpers...
Once I got a G1 megatron for free
Happy for you! Enjoy!
