    Popped into Lewis Center WM last night for some odds and ends and actually saw Veloictron stuff on the pallet. There was a cracked case of deluxes on top, Clampdown was still there so I went ahead and grabbed him for Starscream91. Blurr, Crosscut, & Roadrocket still present.
    Also had a case of Scourge still on the pallet that seemed to be sealed still.

    Likely because they cant get them from a normal supplier.
    And yeah, I got Elita and Knock out from another online store but nabbed Tarantulas and Wild Rider from them right before I posted the link here.

    Glad to help! Figured the extra 2-3 bucks plus shipping was worth it to just go ahead and get them, and also support a toy etailer that isnt amazon/walmart/target, etc.

    Wait, are these pegs compatible with 5mm ports? This could make for a freakish Red Cog. . . Kiss Players Cog? o_O  :p 

    Thanks for the heads up. As a noob in this lane of collecting is Toy Arena a reputable seller?

    Checked Sawmill Walmart, Bethel Walmart, Britton Pkwy and Marysville Walmart this morning. All had some Velocitron deluxes. I got the Clampdown from Bethel. Britton and Marysville still had one Clampdown each. No Cosmos at any. Marysville also had 3 Overrides and their Beast Wars Skorponok reissues were ringing up at $15.

    There's an unopened case of Velocitron deluxes on a pallet at Heath Walmart and of course no employee around to ask if they could open it.

    Edit: THEY HAD A COSMOS HOLY FUCK I FINALLY FOUND ONE!

    Someone finally came by and opened it and it had a Cosmos inside, lol.

    I made sure to let the employee know that he just made my day.

    That's class all around and I hope customer feedback like this benefits the employee in some capacity. Retail can be a thankless gig.
