    There's three CW Grooves at Richfield Target. Not making that up.

    Lots of wave three deluxe. Alpha Trions, Astrotrains.

    I'm assuming you mean the legends figure and not the deluxe?? If it's the deluxe...interesting.

    Wouldn't be the first. I assume that's why it's weird to see them.

    No sign of Groove, Alpha Trion or Astrotrain at the Richfield Target, must have been snatched up.

    St. Louis Park Target has 2 Titan Master Overboard.

    Yeah, it was the legends. Didn't know they're were two Grooves in the same toy line. That's... weird?

    Oh yeah. Deluxe Groove was (at least so far) an online exclusive. But he's randomly shown up at a few Walmarts so I thought that's why you thought it was odd.

    Saw Star Wars: Rogue One last night and got the Titans Return Soundwave from the Andover Wal-Mart across from the theater.

    Seemed someone tried very badly to hide him on a lower shelf along with two Marvel Legends Winter Soldier figures.

    Last I checked, there is a Ross store in Eau Claire now. Good luck to any of you guys with trips into Wisconsin for the holidays.

    I'd say pretty good since I broke down and picked one up for about $100 a few months ago. Figured it would be tough to top that price. $55 would be awesome.

    Amazon has CW Liokaiser for $82 or so. Worth it if mold fatique hasn't set in for you and/or your not as confident as I am that Takara will do something special for the dual-torso.

    If I saw it for $55, I'd break down and get it in a heartbeat.

    I'm liking TR Soundwave a lot more than TR Blaster the more I've transformed him. I even like his boombox mode a bit better.

    In other things, I've been messing around with my BadCube Speedbump (aka MP style Trailbreaker) for a bit and there's one thing I was thinking could be cool to put on him to fix one glaring issue if someone (or company) could make it.

    The gun option that can be put up on his right shoulder. It looks bad cause the gun pieces are designed so they snap onto his hand for the blaster to be there. I've seen some people use two of the three guns the figure comes with on the shoulder since there are two holes to create a pretty cool looking gun then.

    However, that gap between the two guns combined is still a bother so I'm wonder what if someone created a part to fill that in. Make it look all good combined together? A gap filler as it were.

    What say you, autotronprime? I know you have been making some cool add-ons for third part and official stuff. Definitely would help Speedbump out a bit I think.

    Burnsville TRU with the new Combiner Force Warrior wave. At least one each.

    Also, if you don't have Bisk...which you should...there's one at the Burnsville Target.

    Eagan Target also has the new Combiner Force Warrior wave.

    Coon Rapids Target put out a couple of Legend Wheelies if you missed him the first time. The places around here are LOADED with Voyagers. I saw probably 6 Astrotrains at Andover Wally World.

    At Rosedale Mall the Go! Calendar store on level 2 has a single Chromedome for a cool $19.99.

    The nearby Roseville Target has been cleaned out of deluxes. They still have a few legends on the pegs including one Wheelie.

    I saw Twinferno and Chromedome at Eagan Target last night.

    I also stopped in to Cedar Cliff's new location (a couple doors down from the old one) and ended up walking out with the 2 G1 Omnibots I didn't have yet (Overdrive and Camshaft). Both listed as complete, but the Overdrive one actually had Downshift's weapons with him which I didn't realize until this morning. He also did not have instructions, which the guy working ended up knocking $5 off for me at time of purchase. I wonder if going back and asking for money back would work since the weapons included weren't even the right ones? I had to drop about $25 on eBay this morning to get the correct ones along with the instruction booklet.

    Keep in mind this also means you can grab Computron for $75
