    A few of my usual Targets are clearancing out the toy dept ahead of Back to School resets. So I'm hoping the Wave 5 stuff is all kinda hiding behind that wall.

    If you head to Northtown TRU right now they have a bunch of the TR Seasprays and Cosmos.
    Also, where I found and bought the one TR Trypticon they had on the shelf.

    Thinking back on that conversation I had with a TRU employee on Tuesday now when I was looking for the big guy...

    "Out of Stock" in all the surrounding TRU stores, huh?

    Telling me to check back next week, but that they will "probably be out of stock then, too", huh?

    Guess I've learned never to bother calling TRU stores and asking about stuff anymore.

    I didn't read this, and wound up going east instead. Found my Seaspray, TLK leader prime and Megatron, and the ultra dragon thing. Also found a TLK Hound, which means there WAS a Megatron here at some point... Getting closer!

    Saw him today and wasn't impressed. The Voyager seems more my style, but I want to see him in person before I decide.

    Trypticon is a BEAST. Definitely have to do the leg fix, but otherwise...love it! I'm really especially liking Full-Tilt. He's straight up a purple Tumbler Batmobile from the Nolan movies. LOL

    Any more Trypticon out there? I was gonna go out there today too damnit. Will be heading out that way tomorrow.

    300 dollar day for you today huh? Can't remember the last time I spent that much on TFs at an actual store. Seems all my shopping is online these days, mostly just pre-ordering away.

    Just the one. There was another guy grabbing one, none on the shelf though. It came to 260 with the $5 off per $25 and my TRU card 10% :D

    Thought ya'll might be interested in this. Wonder if this is in-store, or catalog coupon only.

    It also has added arm covers and wrist swivels. Skip the Voyager, get this, he's awesome.

    Okay...
    1) Thursday's always my day to do a TRU run, but I skipped it today because I was there a couple days ago and they didn't have anything out. ><
    2) Did they change the $5 off of $25 to just movie figures? It didn't apply on Sunday when I picked up some of the RiD combiner teams. ><

    WORST. TIMING. EVER. XD

    Damn, that's shitty. Spotted a few Seaspray @ Brooklyn Park Walmart today, not much else of interest that I remember.
