    Well I found stormjet down here at Wal Mart in Mtn Home today but nothing else. I wish the other guys were out too so i could combine them, the pic on the back of the box of Superion looks pretty sweet.

    I couldn't find anything anywhere yesterday, plus the TRU was all but completely cleaned out of Energon Deluxes. I'll be keeping an eye out for the combiners. Thanks for the sightings guys!

    Last night I saw both combiners at the Meridian Walmart at the bottom of a giant pile of Transformers. Meridian Shopko had plenty of those Armada repaint battle packs, Smokescreen vs. Hoist, Ultra Magnus, and so on. Nothing at Overland Walmart. I'm still trying to track down Tracks as well as the Kicker/Highwire and Grimlock/Swoop sets.

    TRU had several of the Kicker/Highwire packs last night Mirage. I found Steamhammer and Storm Jet there as well. I bought the latter two but left Kicker and Highwire. Like I said there were several, so hopefully there's one left for you!

    I was too late to get a Kicker. I'm sure he'll show up again sooner or later.

    Sorry to hear that Mirage:(  I'm sure TRU will be restocking this week for the big Christmas rush, they'll most likely be putting out more (if you want to brave the week before Christmas blitzkreig that is :wink:  )

    I found Alternators grimlock and Swindle at the Meridian Walmart last night. They weren't with the rest of the Transformers.....if you're looking at the TF display, to the left is shelves of little kids toys, then to the left of that on the bottom shelf was a big stack of unnoticed Alts. They had Meister, Tracks, Grimlock and Swindle. I saw several Grimlocks, and I tried to put the Tracks and a couple Grimlocks under the pile in the back. Good luck!

    Awesome find! I'll be up that way probally tommorow hopefully they'll be one Grimlock left. Did you pick him up by chance? Last night at my wal mart round 1230 I saw 2 cases saying transformer Energon mega 6 pieces. The gal wouldn't let me open them up. I went to the store first thing this morning and couldn't find anything new. I looked everywhere they musta took them back into storage. As always thanks for the heads up! :thumb

    I did buy both Swindle and Grimlock. I like Swindle even though the only differences between him and Hound is the front attactahment, head and colors.

    Grimlock is absolutely amazing. The best Alternator released thus far even though he's a complete bitch to transform (it doesn't help that, as always, Hasbros instructions are absolutely worthless. I ended up figuring out most of it on my own.) The car mode is gorgeous, as is the silver coloring. He is easy to pose and the weight is pretty well distributed. Grimlock is totally one of my favorite TFs of all time list.

    I considered starting a thread about how I repent of my sins because I wasn't too happy with Grimlock being a Mustang. I've lightened up a LOT lately, removed the rod up my ass and started beong thankful for what we're given. Halelujias and Praise his names! :thumbs2:

    That's great! I was just over at Meridian Walmart the other day and didn't see anything. I'll try to get the Tracks if I can. I picked up four of the combiner limbs at Target this afternoon. They still had a few left, but not too many. Two were Constructicon and two were Superion, I haven't had a chance to open them up yet. Also, I got Kicker at TRU. That set has to be one of the strangest TF toys ever.

    Awesome, the limbs have arrived! I might try to swing by Target on my way home tonight, but if not I'll make it a point to check in a few days. even though I don't want to deal with the Christmas rush:(  Another great sighting, we're adequate!:lol

    I found Sledge, Duststorm and Sky Shadow at the boise Target yesterday, thanks for the heads up Mirage! I'm still on the lookout for the other jet (was it Treadshot? I don't know what other one was released) so if anyone sees it, please let me know. I'll keep my eyes out for more Grimlocks and Swindles as well.

    The wal mart down here has the Energon Mega 2 packs for 20 bucks. Only ones they had was ironhide and jetfire...good price for these two but I already bought them last year for 20 a piece :banghead:

    Good luck finding anything right now. All TRU has is some reissues and the Megatron/Optimus Fullsize 2 pack (for $45! A very good deal). There aren't any TFs left on the pegs at Target and hardly any at Overland Walmart. The only place that seems to be having trouble moving toys is Fred Meyer. I suppose if they would ever get anything new in, I might consider buying it.

    Yeah I noticed TRU and Target's shevles are bare....I was at Target today and they had a sincle Signal Flare, a couple megas and a few Omega Sentinals. I might stop by Wal-Mart early (as in 1-2 am) to see if they restock for the Christmas eve rush, but I'm not really planning on seeing anything new until after the New Year.

    Yeah there selling good down here too which is a good thing. Hopefully this means they'll get more new stuff out on the shelves after x-mas. And then theres always the holiday clearance as well. I'm wondering if there are any more Alt Grimlocks at the Meridian wal mart...I wont be able to make it up there till next weekend and I feel like I'm gonna miss out for awhile. Happy and have a good holiday fellas

    If I see an Alt Grimlock, I'll definitely do some stealthy hiding for you Guile;) 

    And definitely, Happy Holidays guys!

    Boise Target restocked and I bought Treadbolt. They had most of the other limbs, but I didn't see Sledge
