    I don't know. It's damn weird. H-G is a good toy, but it's not so great that I think it's going to be this highly desired figure.

    Walmart Manassas Liberia - a couple of rippersnappers and a blackwing. The pretender Hunn-grrr is back out on the shelf.
    Walmart Chantilly - 3 rippersnappers, 1 sludge, 2 snarls

    Well he is the central figure for Abominus so he's got that going for him.

    Dangit!!!! Having the toys right up front made it so easy to check that store. In and out real quick. The new layout for the area targets just plain sucks. They laid it out so you have to wind your way through the store, no more straight aisles to where you want to go. Hoping you will grab more impulse buys as you juke back and forth through the store. Hopefully they get enough complaints about it that they stop before they ruin anymore of the stores before they start the renovations on undisturbed locations.

    Since the toy section is one of the busiest departments they make you walk through other major sections hoping you will pick up additional "impulse" purchases. Everything is laid out to catch your eye.

    Studio Series Thundercracker has reached the area, they had at least 8 on the shelf at the Oyster Point Toys R Us. Grabbed 3, one for my brother, one to open and one to keep sealed for the memories of what will likely be my final TRU purchase.

    Yeah, figures are only 10% off so far. He would normally be $30 but $27 after discount. I was happy to pay it though, the figure is awesome in hand!

    Lynnhaven and military highway TRU's had Infernocus and Primus, not much else. Military highway has 2 Dreadwinds.

    Didn't see Thundercracker at either location. Military has a tag out for it. Asked someone to look up the item number, I think they said either "none left in-house" or "none left in the warehouse"

    Hey guys, if anyone runs into Studio Series Thundercracker, could you pick up an extra for me? My work schedule is hectic and I don’t have a lot of time off. I can meet you if you’re in NOVA or I can pay shipping. Please:)

    Jesus that couldn't have lasted long. I swear I looked earlier tonight after this post and saw nothing. The current choice with prime shipping is FIFTY DOLLARS for christ's sake.

    I'm going to look around today. I don't want the toy but, If I spot it, I'll grab it, and we can do a meet up.
