    They shouldn't be that hard to find, but use brickseek - just put in your zip code and pick out which walmarts have a lot of stock. They've been seen at several walmarts in the charlotte area in pretty good quantities. Here's the link to brickseek: HASBRO ASST - Walmart Inventory Checker - BrickSeek

    Is that the right SKU/UPC? It shows $19.99.

    It should be. About 1/2 of the walmarts in my area don't currently carry TR leaders, so they show 0 on hand with a price around $19.00 Then 1/2 of the walmarts do carry TR leaders, and they show various amounts of on hand with a price of $39.73.

    I can't get the link to my area show up correctly, but if you put in a zip code of 28079 you'll see what my area looks like.

    Thanks. I went to the store on US-70/Brier Creek, which showed to have it stocked, but didn't see any on the floor. Maybe I'll get lucky next time. :)

    I'm no brickseek expert, and anybody feel free to correct me - but I think the sku # is one # for all TR leaders. The stores more likely to have them are priced at $39.73 because the stores priced close to $19.00 clearanced out their stock before the overlord wave. Good luck!

    Walmart's stock info is often slightly off. If you see the amount of stock at a store suddenly increase, it's definitely gotten a restock, but the exact number of figures shown as currently in stock for each store isn't necessarily accurate.

    I picked up the only Overlord on the shelf at the Fuquay Varina Wal-Mart last night thanks to Brickseek. I also found a Shockwave kreo battlechanger at the Walgreens down the road.

    Hmmm that's weird. I'm pretty sure that Slugslinger wasn't damaged when I saw it.

    Found the Nitro/Scorn wave at the Hanes Mall Target. Picked up a Nitro, left one each there.

    Walmart in Lexington surprisingly has quite a few Overlords. I've been working under the assumption that they had such a huge overstock of Wave 1 Deluxes and Voyagers that they would have been set for Transformers for the next year at least.

    Is that near the Rea Rd exit from 485, in the lot with the movie theater that's tucked into the back right?

    Tryon and 485 Walmart shows a bunch of TR leaders in stock via brickseek but they’re only 2 Sixshots in shelf.

    They do have a Brawn though. Not much else.
