    Went looking for Slicer and found a set of Headmasters. Already have the Titans Returns versions. So they are up for trade.

    Hardhead , Weirdwolf , Skullcruncher , and Highbrow.

    Looking for Shattered Glass Slicer.

    I popped into the Goldenrod x University Target in Orlando and there wasn't anything new. Went into the Ross next door, similarly nothing. Casselberry Walmart did have x2 Studio Series ROTB Bumblebees so that leads me to think it had Mirage and Nightbird at some time, but not anymore. Then the Casselberry Ross also had nothing new, just the same old Legacy BW redecos.

    But the Casselberry Five Below next door has Sanrio Squishmallows wearing little posh outfits so I grabbed two for my girlfriend. Not a total loss of a hunt! :p

    Ross had a whole lot of the same between the two I went to today.

    The one on Hillsboro & Powerline:
    Scourge × 10
    Nightprowler × 2
    Buzzsaw × 5

    The one on Glades & Lyons:
    Scourge × 9
    Nightprowler × 4
    Buzzsaw × 3
    Vintage BW Megatron × 1

    Okay, so the BW Megatron was something I hadn't seen in person yet.

    I picked up a lone 86 Ratchet today at the Sanford Target.

    Does anyone from, say, Palm Coast to Orlando have a spare retro Mindwipe they would want to sell at cost or trade for?
    I have extras of Skullcruncher, Highbrow, Weirdwolf, Cliffjumper, DK-2 Guard, Nest Bee, B-127, Minerva, or the Duke w/ Ram Cycle.

    Orrrrrrrr, if you're further away, but want to meet up at Spooky Empire on Saturday, that works too.

    Went to the Casselbery Ollies yesterday. Mostly the same stuff - some Cyberverse 3-packs with Cheetor, BB Bluestreak, BW reissues. On the other hand, they got the SW Archive wave with Tarkin/etc. They also got the GIJoe HISS III in, and (hidden down inside the new shelving at the front!) Classified Sgt. Slaughter. So, things are still starting to show up around Orlando, that was already found nearly everywhere else in the US :) 
    I'm still on the lookout at Ollies for the BW Monopoly set, that someone else posted in another thread.

    He is such a fun figure.

    Target @ 9350 Dynasty Dr (The Forum, east of I-75 exit 136, Fort Myers) had the usual stuff:
    IMG_20231025_111259041_resize.jpg IMG_20231025_111254368_resize.jpg

    Ross @ 3254 Forum Blvd (The Forum, east of I-75 exit 136, Fort Myers) had:
    IMG_20231025_105858391_resize.jpg IMG_20231025_105851724_resize.jpg IMG_20231025_110052146_resize.jpg IMG_20231025_110316990_resize.jpg
    Up front: 4 x Velocitron Scourge; 1 x ea of Retro Headmasters Hardhead, Highbrow, Skullcruncher, Weirdwolf
    3 x Buzzworthy Kups, 1 x Legacy Buzzsaw, 1 x Legacy Sandstorm, 1 x RotB energon igniters Battletrap
    In the rear toysection: 1 x Legacy Skids, 2 x Legacy Buzzsaw, 1 x Legacy Nightprowler, 1 x Legacy Sandstorm
    They had the big Christmas tables for toys set up, but no sign of the Kingdom titan Ark others had spotted.
    I grabbed the Hardhead and Weirdwolf.

    Citi Trends @ 4901 Palm Beach Blvd (Morse Shores Shopping Center, Fort Myers) wasn't open yet, but DinoLynx was just there on Monday.

    Big Lots @ 4901 Palm Beach Blvd (Morse Shores Shopping Center, Fort Myers) had some of the core Kingdom figures for $7.99:
    IMG_20231025_113804944_resize.jpg
    I grabbed one of the two Optimuses.

    Last month, I was joking about having a plastic addiction. As of today I don't think I'm joking anymore. :eek:

    I might be interested in the ROTB Energon Igniter Battletrap and Megatron. If anyone sees both and is willing to sell and ship them to Jacksonville for around $20 hit me up. Also if anyone finds and is willing to pick up to sell, I am still wanting retro headmaster Chromedome, Mindwipe, Brainstorm and Hardhead (not buying him solo since he’s repacked in wave 2) for $50+shipping(?). SS15BB for $15 + shipping(?)

    Went to the Pensacola Ross’s today. No arks, no velocitron, only buzzworthy I saw was one B127 at Cordova mall. Plenty of Walmart beasts, and Fairfield had the retro headmasters brainstorm, chromedome, hardhead, and mindwipe.

    Currently only looking for skullcruncher and weirdwolf from the retros, somewhat interested in finding an ark, and I assume the slicer ship has sailed.

    Found an Ark in West Melbourne on my lunch break. That was a surprise.

    Any sightings of Wave 1 Headmasters in our area? Looking for Mindwipe, Brainstorm, and Chromedome. I see wave 2 all over the place.

    If we can network let me know what you are looking for. I hit several a day when I am out either Wal-Mart , Target , Ross , and Burlington. I never waste a trip when running an errand for an excuse to pop in a store somewhere.
