Haven't seen it, but I have it in good confidence that the Walmart in Sylva has Ironhide, Treadbolts and Landfill, much like every other one in the state, but I dont' see too many western locations. Any news from Raleigh (preferably north)?

I'd sure like to know if anybody's found any Alternator Smokescreen's in NC... because it seems every Target in NC doesn't give a rat's ass about Toys in general and get everything 3 months after it's been out everywhere else

wscato
12-19-2003, 09:12 PM
I found the motherload tonight at Target in Huntersville (I-77 Exit 25).

I purchased a Scorponok there tonight. Still three left.

They had every single Energon figure except Optimus Prime, They had all the universe figures including depth charge, They had almost all of the Armada figures and they had Alternator Smokescreen.

I now have all the Energon figures available so far. Did anyone ever see any Nemesis Primes???? I only found one and haven't seen anymore since.

Haven't seen him yet, but it sure isn't for lack of trying! :lol

edit:
Whoever runs the toy section in the Hickory Wal-Mart needs their ass beat! It was in shambles and I couldn't find a damn thing! I finally see some Armada figures and a few Energon's. I search long and hard and find ONE giftpack of Landfill but everything was broken! It was the worst store I've ever been in!! Stay clear of Hickory Wally-World, unless you want to search for a long time!!

have you been to the walmart in Wilkesboro? i was amazed at the sheer volume of toys they have there for such a podunk town. i got 3 or 4 air military minicon sets from there when i couldn't find a single set in boone, cary, greensboro or fayetteville. haven't been there recently enough to know if they have any alt. sideswipe, though.

Ruination04
01-19-2004, 10:26 PM
Haven't been there. I hear that the WM in Mooresville is/was the largest WM in the country. Never been there though. How much were the minicon teams?

I'd like to see a Walmart that is NOT in shambles...that store sucks!

Ruination04
01-21-2004, 06:51 AM
As of last night, My WM was in tip top shape. They've been doing inventory I think, and have moved stuff around. All of the TFs were well organized. They were out of Alternators, All they really had was Inferno, Strongarm, Battle Ravage, Skyblast, Ironhide, and the Energon Saber. They had Optimus Primal from Universe. The selection sucked.....They also have alot of Armada minicon bonus 2-packs for $9.95 and a crapload of the yellow Landfills are still $15.

SndWve2002
01-21-2004, 05:55 PM
ok....went to Target, Walmart and TRU in Winston.....nothing new
Target and Walmart near Concord....nothing new
Walmart and Kmart in Statesville.....noting new
they all have Wave 1 energon and most has some Alts and correctly packages Enercrons

dang it ...someone find some wave 2

wscato
01-21-2004, 09:00 PM
Optimus Maixmus, which Walmart do you go to???? I usually go to the one in Mooresville or Concord, but have found most of my stuff lately at the one on Harris Blvd. The WM in Mooresville has sucked ass lately due to the fact they haven't had any Transformers the last few trips. The Target in Hutnersville sucks too.

Ruination04
01-22-2004, 01:19 PM
I normally go to the one in Monroe. If I go to my dad's house I go to the ones in Taylorsville & Hickory. I might go to the one in Wadesboro occasionally.

SndWve2002
01-22-2004, 05:21 PM
ok....SideSwipe in WS walmart.....there were two when i checked the first time so I hid one so i could pick him up when i got off of work. I'm glad I did...the other one was gone after work ...But I finally got him

DeathscytheFish
01-22-2004, 11:49 PM
Don't bother going to the Wal-Mart on bridford for anything, they are doing a total store remodel, only real thing they had were Energon Unicrons... that's it

Target on bridford in greensboro still has the wave 1 basic stuff and several smokescreens... no signs of sideswipe or anything more as of yet

I live right down the street from the Target in Huntersville. It salmost pointless to look for anything new there. By the time they get anything new, I have already found it somewhere else!

ok...this is unfounded being that i havent gone and checked yet....but....
I went to the WS Target with the 20th Ann. Optimus DCPI#
they said that they didn't have him, but that the Target on LAwndale in GSO did...Tomorrow i go to see if the "Holy Grail" is actually there.

02-03-2004, 10:30 AM
What is GSO???? That's baffling me....

DeathscytheFish
02-07-2004, 11:41 PM
I sure wish whoever is deciding that Greensboro (wendover area) doesn't get CRAP will finally up and DIE... because the Target and Wal-Mart haven't had crap in ages... SSDD

not found one damned sideswipe or anything remotely close to "new"

02-08-2004, 07:24 AM
When my wife was in college I always had luck at the new Target (not new anymore) on Lawndale besides that old Mill. I found all the new Armada stuff there way before it came to Charlotte. Another good place to look in Greensboro is ACME Comics on Lawndale. His stuff is a couple bucks more that target but he seems to get them before any of the stores. But I have to say Greensboro's Toys R Us sux compared to the one close to me.

The thing is... I live in Kernersville and work right off of the airport exit... so I never go over that way... have no clue where that is. Bridford is about the only place I ever get a chance to look during lunch break from work

Thundercracker
02-08-2004, 12:39 PM
ACME Comics is where I got my Sideswipe.....They found it up in Virginia and got me one because I told them to be on the look out for me one about a month ago....You're right though. Greensboro is the always the last place on the planet to get the new stuff. And forget the Battleground Walmart. That place is like a third world country bazzar.

ENERGON WAVE 2 FOUND :ROCK :ROCK
Winston Salem Hanes Mall Blvd got a small shipment of wv 2 today...I picked up Divebomb, Cruelock, Signal Flare and Landmine....one Divebomb left....so im expecting more to be coming in during the next few days. Deluxes must be next

i don't know if anybone here is a halo 2 fan but i figured i'd list this anyway.

i'm pretty sure there is going to be a van or car passing out halo 2 demos on

tuesday the 24th all over the country!!!


i have everything listed below how to find out where.....



I heard about the fake site that is listed on the bottom of the halo 2 trailer in theaters and..................

if you didn't hear about it, after the trailer, when the xbox logo comes up... on the bottom of the screen, under the logo it says www.xbox.com... but then it switches to ... www.ilovebees.com .... then back to ... www.xbox.com

the site is supposed to be hacked, and there is a timer counting down to tuesday august 24th also there is writing that says........

HALT - MODULE CORE HEMORRHAGE SYSTEM PERIL DISTRIBUTED REFLEX. STRONG INTRUSIVE INCLINATION. COUNTDOWN TO WIDE AWAKE AND PHYSICAL :

if you switch the letters around it says

INDEX THIS IRONCLAD PREDICTION : HALO TWO SINGLE PLAYER DEMO CD-ROM DISK INCURSION AT AUGUST TWENTY FOUR. EARTH WILL NEVER BE THE SAME."



i heard about all of this, so i decided to have a go at this site.

after about 1/2 hour of searching for clues i ended up on this page...


www.ilovebees.com/links.html


which has alot of GPS (global positioning system) coordinates on it.

check for one near you.

here is a site to get a location by using the GPS numbers...also MAKE SURE to put the - symbol in front of the second set of numbers.


http://www.mapquest.com/maps/latlong.adp



i knew that my area (milwaukee) was about 043 -088 ... so i looked for one around there. Sure enough i found one.

also directly underneath each coordinate there is a time.

the time for mine happens to be 15:35 PDT (Pacific Daylight Time)

to check the time difference go to www.ebay.com

their time is in PDT

so whatever is going to happen is going to start when the timer runs out

and at each location at that specific time....

I went to other forums on the subject... to see if i could find out anything else, but most of them are messing with the game.

but i did find out that there were originally different coordinates. so i looked up the original milwaukee coordinates... and it was 61st and north.

now i looked at a few GPS sites. and both of the milwaukee locations are in the middle of the street. So I'm guessing that there will be a van or something giving out something. Hopefully a playable demo

alot of people are thinking waaay tooo hard about this, but I figure if they are doing something they won't make it too teribly difficult to figure out, because then nobody would show up.

I think it's a safe bet something will happen at these locations at those times. so I'm leaving work at noon on tuesday, hopefully I'll see a bunch of people there also.

ok so i have a time and a place. I don't think there is anything else to figure, unless you want to play the ARG (alternate reality game)

Finally found some new TF stuff @ the Wal-Mart on HWY 49 & I-485 in Charlotte. They had one Mirage, PLB packaging Omega Supreme (3 or so) and new Universe Fireflight & Nemesis Strika.

I didn't buy any of them (opted for a Tunnel Rat/Electric EEL GIJoe 2 pk instead), but Fireflight was tempting.

Speaking of Mirage, if anyone is interested in my MIB Mirage please let me know. This figure is cool, he just doesn't do much for me. In fact, I want to let all of my Superlink items go...Blast Arm, Aerial, Iron Tread & Shockwave.

Not sure when they moved. It was this summer I believe, but don't hold me to it. I've only been to the new store twice! I wish they were still in their old store, it was a little closer for me! heeheehee

The new place is in a little shopping center and they have a sign that says comics and toys. No store name. You have to go downstairs and they share the downstairs area with a Great Clips. It's a nice store though. Better than the old one I think. But when you're looking for it, if you blink you will miss it!
