    KB exclusive Aerialbots & Railbots found at CVS...

    That's right! I visited Smithfield, NC today and coming home I stopped off at the CVS Pharmacy near the I-40 / NC 42 interchange on Cleveland Rd. The MicroMaster Aerialbots were there. I stopped off at several CVS stores on the way back home after that and most of them had the Railbots. So, the question here is: What's the deal?

    This is no surprise, as CVS actually gets their toy stock from KB. I work in a CVS and we have a couple of the railbots (they've been sitting around for ages.)

    What sucks is that all we get is stuff like the railbots and aerialbots, no deluxes or even basics. It would be nice if I could use my store discount on some TFs.

    No luck with the KBs or even the KB outlets 'round here on those aerialbots.

    Are KB and CVS owned by the same parent company?

    And here I haven't even gone to KB to look for the jets yet. Wait... I think there's a KB almost right next to a CVS near here, I should totally hit both at once. And strike out both times of course.

    Heck no! At CVS they're nearly $6 each! I don't know if that's a bargain for some of us who do not live anywhere near a Kay Bee.

    KB should have them online for the holiday season. I believe the Railbots are still available there.

    Bwa? Screw that. I'll wait to find 'em at the KB outlet where they're half that. ($4 plus BOGO 50% off)

    Gee...old news as I found these at the KB outlet in Branson a week ago and posted my findings in the Missouri sightings board.


    But as this is more of a CVS thread doodad, they just opened up one here so I will have to check it out to see if they already...have...the, uh, toys I already bought. Wow, I was getting excited for a minute about getting something new.

    My KB outlet has had them for at least 3 weeks now, and I didn't even buy them because they aren't the g1 versions. They look like Knock offs.
