    I would try Meijer. There is also a Target on the same street.

    They got rid of them years ago. We had them when I was living in PA a long time ago. Giant Eagle is their direct competition on the grocery store front. Then Walmart and Aldi. Now that Meijer is making their way east in Ohio, I wouldn't be surprised to see a Kroger resurgence in the future.

    I'd love to have more competition, not less. I'm tired of the Walmarts around here, I want someone to come along and shake it all up.

    Not sure if this is real or not, but Reflector, Brunt, and Barricade are on Amazon for pre-order.

    This isnt by Amazon. It's by a company that has a tendency to charge immediately and ship them long after other places get them. Thats why theyre higher priced and have a big shipping fee. You can see under the name its not amazon themselves.

    I went searching for $2.50 Kroger Studio Series deluxes. I went to the Kroger Marketplaces in Newport and Oakley. All I found was a lone $7.50 Dropkick at the Oakley location (I didn’t buy it).

    The brand new Kroger Marketplace on Beckett Ridge between West Chester and Springdale had 1 Crankcase and 1 Clunker Bee. $7.50 with card for the deluxes. Got the Clunker Bee.

    Checked the Kroger Marketplace in Centerville and they did not have any deals as fantastic as the ones reported from Lebanon. They did, however, have a TON of PotP Legends marked down to, like, $3.50 each, which is not a bad price.

    Picking up Crankcase for $7.50 wouldn't be a bad idea for a repaint, remold. I like the colors of him, but I doubt I'll pull the trigger to buy him any time soon.

    Not really a sighting, but I had a left over Amazon gift card from my company from Christmas (kind of forgot about it) and decided to use it today. Never bought anything in "Like New condition" from Amazon, but saw POTP Predaking for $117.00 after gfit card and tax only paid $25 for him. I really hope the figures are perfect with all accessories, instructions. I plan to sticker him up with @Toyhax premium stickers.

    Hey, Columbus area guys--

    I'm thinking of taking a trip out of my tiny town soon. Are the Botbots 8-packs pretty common around there? I still haven't found a store carrying them around here.

    Yes. Pretty much everywhere...Target, WM, Meijer

    Edit...just noticed you said Columbus...I’m in Cincy, but I’m assuming they would be common in Cbus as well.

    I found these new G1 assortment tags for mini bots in Walmart today. I tried Brickseek with all the numbers but nothing pulled up.

    North Olmsted TJ Maxx has 2 TR Overlords. Took home the lone Bumblebee garage 3pack they had. Also stopped by Ollies and found a couple cheap Mega Construx sets.

    Speaking of G1 minibots has anyone seen Warpath recently? I found a Gears in Kentucky about a month ago (right around the first sightings) but have seen neither since

    I haven't seen any G1 minibots in my area at all. I've been to Indy a few times and seen alot of them there like at Walmarts. Nothing around the Dayton area that I recall.

    Well, not a sighting but wanted to share that my POTP Predaking came in today and the box is kind of beat up, but all Predacons are ok. I know the waist piece on Divebomb wasn't screwed in tightly and was starting to separate. Other than that, everything else is good. I plan to order ToyHax sticker kit and the DNA upgrade kit next. Also a guy on ebay who does custom 3D printing of extended gun barrels for Predaking as well.

    My plan is that if that hits Ollies, or if it hits the $60 ish range on amazon or other places that Trypticon did, I'm buying it. I don't have tons of space so these Titans are hard to justify. But the Predacons at that price point would be an impossible pass.
