    Saw Tankor/Obisidian at the Sarasota Target. They just got a big restock of Universe and Armada (Hasbro cleaning out the warehouses, I guess).

    Tankor & Obsidian have been at the Brandon TRu I work at for about a week. Call ahead and have them hold one for you.

    Picked up the Optimus/Jetfire 2 pack at the Niceville Kmart today. They had about 8 or 10 left. They're on the back of the toy aisle. Also got the new Emergency Team repaints. They had the Sea Team repaints too but I passed on those for now.

    Picked up the Optimus/Jetfire 2 pack on sale, $44.99, at Kmart. Also grabbed the Yellow Landfill set. No signs of Energon or Alternators but the pegs and shelves around here are strangely empty. Hmmm...

    All the Sarasota shelves are still packed to bursting w/ PL Armada, Armada Beasts, and Universe figs.

    Predacon is still scarce, though - only found one at TRU on Friday.

    There's still a full pallete of Yellow Landfill at the local WM.

    Craploads of Landfill still at Wmart here. Looks about like 2 pallets full. Picked up Universe Inferno and Ratchet today while I was there. Landfill can obviously wait. Still no Energon or Nemesis Prime or PL Demolisher. Craploads of all the other stuff though.

    Wal-mart on 13th street. I went back today to see if they put out any thing else. They had not, but Optimus was still there.

    Anyone find anything further South? Wal-Mart in Sarasota was a bust, though it does look like their not restocking Armada anymore, just letting the stock they have sell out.

    I was at Downtown Disney on saturday and Sunday and they didn't have squat, except the Kb exclusive Scourge and Bludgeon, oh and tankor w/ Obsidian. If you in the neighborhood of a walgreens, they have wave 4 of the HOC if you want them. I found Wheeljack and Overlord at the one closest to Disney.

    Boca Walmart- Tons of Landfill, standard, maxi's, Unicron. No Energon sightings.

    Coral Springs TRU- Maxicons, G1 reissues, Unicron, some powerlinx standard. No Energon sightings.

    Coral Springs Turtle Run Walmart- pretty picked over, except for standard and maxicons, a few Unicrons. Some Universe. No Energon sightings.

    Rock Island WalMart- not worth the drive. Cheetor, Rhinox, and a Nemesis. Tons of Smokescreen.

    Copans Wal Mart- Some Universe. Tankor/ Obsidian, Primal. Not much else. No Energon sightings.

    I check the warehouse computers and Energon should be shipping to Florida TRUs in the next 7 days or less. So keep an eye on your local store.
