    You probably meant TRU Concord, since the Pleasant Hill one moved. :)

    Yep
    Yep, that was me. Our rent and landlord shenanigans (anyone remember when they tore out our entire parking lot for 3+ months...) overhead...and a lot of theft...was an absolute killer.

    I miss the shop and definitely the customers. Having the shop was a blast...maybe someday I'll get to do it again, but with 2 kids to worry about ive got to have something stable...

    It was always a fun time when Master Blaster used to organize the TF fan gatherings at the shop!

    That’s a real bummer man. I was in there once a long time ago, but I’m never really in that area. I’m glad you’ve found something else and hopefully you can revisit it in the future!

    Those were a ton of fun. Got to meet up and enjoy not just Transformers, but pretty much anything action figure-wise anyone wanted to offer. Dragonstorm was always a gracious host with his shop.

    Hope everything else is good with you and the family, man! MasterBlaster too, pity not hearing from him for forever.

    Saw the wave 2 deluxes once at the Grossmont Walmart on Monday. Haven't seen anything else since.

    Haven't seen any of the Wave 2 PotP deluxes, or Prime Masters up here in Sactown, and only a Tailgate for Legends at the Folsom Walmart. The Walmart nearest me in Orangevale sucks because all it has are a bunch of TR Deluxes, and the Citrus Heights store is clogged with those and some leftover PotP Wave 1. Haven't found anything new at Birdcage Target or TrU either. :(

    For kicks and giggles I stopped at the Walmart over near the Automall. They had an Octone on the discount rack (pfft, $24) and Blitzwing that looked like it was returned. Three TLK Grimlock (I think it was him, but not sure since I don't look for them) Prime and someone else mixed between the discount rack and shelf. They did have a PotP Starscream, some Shrapnel, Beachcomber, Slash and random other TR deluxes. Jazz, Swoop and Dreadwind to fill out the rest.

    Yeah, MB, Xterry...there are a few that pretty much fell off the map :(  nowadays I'm a behaviorist / RBT working with special needs and at risk kiddos in schools and in-home settings. Which makes me the coolest teacher in class when I show up in an optimus prime shirt :) 

    On topic I just missed the Hun Grr at Target Alameda but did score the Elita...NO other POTP figures there at all other then a few Starscreams

    Got Battletrap pair and Tailgate at Target Tustin today. There should be quite a few of the former, not sure about the latter. Plenty of wave 1 prime masters, deluxes were Dreadwind and Slug, and they just restocked on Starscreams and maybe 1/2 Grimlocks.

    You guys try stopping by your Walmarts. Many people not only found the Wave 2 Voyagers, but also the Dinos, Rippersnapper, Blackwing, and Moonracer. Unicronus is there too.

    Oh, sorry to hear. But that's just where they are at the moment. I haven't seen them in person myself though. Nothing yet of the deluxes hitting Targets, I think .
