    If you all are looking for Lazerbeak and Ravage, I just was able to preorder one off of Pulse. Seems they only got 1 restocked from a cancelled order, because it immediately went back to OOS. But, that means more might pop up, so keep checking!

    Yeah, Walmart pretty much sucks in Columbus and Target isn't much better. Every time you guys start posting sightings in the rest of Ohio it's about a week or 2 before we get them. And when we do, it's only 2 sets of each figure per store and not every store puts them out the same day. So unless you are the guy that happens to to catch them in the first few hours you can forget about it. Then it takes 2 months for them to get them in again.

    I don't know why SS Rampage and the rest of the SS figures being spotted recently are not on Pulse?

    They just havent gotten them yet it seems. Only ones that went up for preorder were toyfair figures, of which none of those were.

    I think there's also some kind of deal where Pulse has to wait until after brick and mortar stores stock them

    This isn't a sighting, but Peaugh has a full review of Studio Series Scrap Metal.

    Awesome looking Constructicon!! Hoping to find him with Rampage soon!

    I have Rampage, in hand (not rubbing it in, sorry) and he makes a sizeable foot. Scrapmetal seems to make a slightly larger hand, if possible. Devastator's going to be massive when it's all said and done. o_O

    I was wondering about the foot size with Rampage and thats awesome to hear! Where did you find Rampage at?

    Scrapmetal looks great and with him combined with Hightower should be massive in size.

    Still can't believe that Overload and Scavenger will be Leader class figures! I'm sure it will work out.

    Quickstrike helped me find him in Boardman near Youngstown. One case and he and I split it. He got Optimus (which was botched at the factory =\ ) and I got Rampage. Haven't seen one since.

    I have to say Columbus was no better. I was surprised by that. I couldn't believe how many stores were bare and how many were sitting on overstock. I do hope I can move to Columbus someday, though. Man, I miss it badly.

    There are a couple SS Rampages and one SSBBOP at Ashland WM. I normally don't take notice but I bought one of the SSBBOPs.

    Is Grandpa's Cheesebarn any good? We wanted to stop but didn't have the time. The chocolates were what called to us.

    Dunno. I'm veeg so I've never visited there. Some of my friends were saying it's gone downhill in the last year so perhaps not (less staff, selection)? I understand that they used to serve sandwiches on frisbees that you could keep so I at least admired that. The good thing is that WM is about a quarter mile off the highway so you don't have to venture much further into the city than the Cheesebarn to get to it.

    You have got to be kidding me... I wondered where it was and I didn't want to deviate too far off the beaten path, so we stuck with the BP station right off of I-76, but the billboard was all like "Come. Enjoy chocolate, you fat pig. We have cheese, too."

    Fortunately, I'm getting a second and third chance at that. My daughter is checking out Wooster with her boyfriend on April 19th and we're driving back through on our way to Columbus for our summer vacation. I'm addicted to the place, now. I needs me a Dublin and Gahanna fix. Oh, yeah.

    I teach at AU but one of my closest friends in the faculty has a daughter at Wooster, and of course, I get over there quite a bit. Great little town and school.

    Has anyone seen Shatter in Cincy? I’m picking up the two Constructicons from the Target I work at when they arrive and BB Optimus Prime in Japan this summer so Shatter is the one I’m looking for now since my Siege W2 is 95% complete (rest are preordered)

    Oh, good to hear! My daughter wants to be a dentist and she has prereqs to take care of before getting to OSU, so thank you for that info. What do you teach?

    I definitely want to take a look at their offerings. I shouldn't, but I want to. lol

    Preachin' to the choir, sir! Seriously... I didn't check out a single Target. I knew that if all the Walmarts were that bad off in terms of being empty, I knew Target was going to be even worse. I still can't believe Willis/Walky found new stuff at Whitehall of all places. The crazy thing is, Brickseek says all of these Walmarts have stuff in stock, but none of them seem to have them on the shelves.

    If I ever do move to Columbus *fingers crossed* I'm thinking of taking Quickstrike's advice and getting a vendor tag and ordering cases from Entertainment Earth. Get a group of us together and do a group buy. There has to be a sizeable group of collectors in the metro.
