    96th St. Wal-Mart in Fishers had 3 Megatrons left as of 02/27 11:30pm. They also have the WM Energon Comic hanging in the TF feature display.

    Oh, and the Borders in Greenwood has the G1 and Armada sticker sets for $4.99 each, in case any one is looking...

    Wave 2 deluxes at the Lafayette Wal*Mart Supercenter. I only saw Prowl and Snowcat.

    Only Prowl remains :D 

    They've got 2 each of signal flare and cruellock. Transformers aren't set up to be a feature product yet, so still no exclusives.

    Lafayette Super Wal*Mart now has transformers as a feature product in place of the power rangers. They have tons of wave 2 basics and deluxes of energon, as well as 4 desert camo Ruination, tons of Universe Prowls and Sideburns. They've also got space for Sunstorm and the Minicon value packs, but nothing on the hooks.

    Happy hunting. (Nothing else new at the other Walmart, Target, K-Mart, or Toys R Us)

    vincennes super wal-mart:
    -energon megatron (plenty)
    -energon wave 2 (lots of basics and delux's)



    terre haute tru:
    had two 20th anniversary primes at tru... but uhm. heh. they're gone now. the computers show they won't have another shipping for awhile. (possibly two to three weeks)

    <b>An UnSighting....</b>

    ... just some questions, really.

    1. Anybody seen King Atlas in/around Indy yet?

    2. Anybody noticed if any of the W/Ms around Indy are matching/beating Target's current Energon sale prices? (N. Keystone & E. 96th are currently not.)

    3. Have any W/Ms around dropped their TFU Ultra and Alternators prices to $14.xx like some folks on ATT are reporting in other states?

    ObSighting: Most Northside Indy W/Ms, Targets, & TRUs seem to have Alt Side Swipe consistently now, if anyone's still looking.

    The Wal-Mart in Avon has one King Atlas left, in the regular TF section, not the special 8 foot section. I got the other 2 that were there today. Not both for me: one for me and one for glhboy.

    Go, folks!

    Arcee and Insecticon in Indy!

    The Meijer on SR67 in Indy has Arcee and Insecticon (3/21 1:15am). They were on the top shelf, and I could just make out the "CEE" in Arcee the way they were stacked, so I asked a clerk to climb up there for me to look, and he found Insecticon, too. I'm not sure if they have any left, because I didn't want to make him look through all of them, but they had a huge stack of basics, so there are probably more up there...

    Anyone found Skydive, yet?

    I came across the Universe Tiny Tins at the Meijer on Rockville Road, in Avon, IN, today. They had them on a stand up display out on the main aisle, not by the other TFs. They had 24 total, 8 each of Mirage, Downshift, and Dirt Boss of the Race Team. The tin itself has markings of Armada, but the package is clearly Universe. Date code of 40351, so these are NEW.

    Good Hunting!

    Walmart sighting

    Not an actual sighting, but I think this belongs in this thread:
    http://www.indystar.com/articles/2/132076-2842-092.html

    here's the line that really caught my attention:
    up to 10 new stores in the Indianapolis area.

    That's a LOT of new stores. When these guys crush the competition, they don't fool around. Target and Meijer should be okay, but I wouldn't be surprised if we lost one of the ToysRUs stores at some point in the future.

    On the subject of new stores, does anyone know of any new stores (that sell TFs) that will be opening anytime soon? I know there's a new Meijer that will open in Noblesville. Anything else?

    Wow. Up to 10 MORE stores? Jeez. We have plenty on the West side. Maybe other areas are getting them.

    You find Insecticon and Arcee yet?

    Well, the only 3 locations mentioned in the article, besides Martinsville, were Greenwood, Plainfield, and Westfield. I could swear that those 3 places already have Walmarts!

    I found Insecticon at Meijer yesterday, but they were out of Arcee already. I'm sure I'll bump into more than enough of them, though. I'm glad that Meijer lowered their prices on TFs to be more inline with the other stores. For some reason, paying $21.99 for an Alternator just seemed wrong.

    As for the Universe Tiny Tins, well, I was just in the Avon Meijer on Monday, so either I missed them, or they went out on Monday night. Darn! If there's only 3 different ones in a case of 24, though, it sounds like we're talking serious pegwarmers.

    Walmart in Brownsburg had Universe Skydive, I got 1 for me and 1 for another. There are two left as of 9:00pm. They are on the top shelf on the end of the TF display.

    Not anymore! Thanks for the tip!

    BTW, gas is still $1.61 at all of the stations at High School Rd. and Kentucky Ave. (as of 10:30pm) I figured it was worth driving my new gas-guzzling Jeep Liberty up to Brownsburg and back at that price... :)

    Wave 5 HOC at Meijer in Richmond today. Got both sets. They also had 1 Arcee and Insecticon, which are both mine now as well.

    Kmart had 2 King Atlus' still there.
