    Holy crap! I'm glad I'm stalking other states sightings pages. Good to know.

    Do you have a pic and receipt? That should go on the front page. I think it's the first sighting in the us.

    I didn't include the pic here, but I did put up a post on News & Rumors with the pic, and also on Nevermore's thread of new and upcoming releases, and put the pic there as well. Thanks!

    Quick question, how many Trypticons were at that TRU? Was heading to Hoover this Friday to hit up PopCult in the Galleria, but I may swing by and grab Trypticon if he's still there.

    Also, new to the forum, hello all.

    EDIT: Guess I should also mention I think the wave 2 voyagers from TLK are trickling in. I found Megatron at the Target in Tuscaloosa two weeks ago.

    Honestly, I'm sad to say I didn't really check to see how many Tryps there were. I was so stoked about finding the Chaos set again after stupidly passing on it the first time. I *think* there were 2 on the floor, but I didn't even look up to see if any were up on the shelf.

    And welcome! I don't post very much at all, but I've been around for years. There are some good people here on the AL Sightings thread, always willing to post sightings and help others with some of the harder to find items when they can.

    Appreciate it. And yeah, it's been hard finding other people in this state on other sites that also collect Transformers, glad I found this thread.

    And, if anyone else happens to go by that Hoover TRU or the one at The Summit before Friday, can you please post if Trypticon is there or not? I'd like to avoid driving 90 miles if he isn't there XD

    Hsv TRU just put out the new MP 10 reissue set. Also, you didn't hear it from me but, a case of Trypticons might have been seen on a shelf in the back. You might want to be on the lookout for him in the store soon.

    Hoover TRU has the Chaos on Velocitron set, Sky Shadow, Sixshot, and the movie stuff is $5 off purchase of $25 or more.

    Can't get anyone there to pick up a phone so I hope it's still there tomorrow.
