    Yeah it's the truth unfortunatly. So it is possible to assemble the combiners with two of each figure. I think it's a cheap cop out but what can ya do about it. And yes Bruticus is the same...all the combiners only have 3 molds to the set with two repaints for the arms and legs. I played around and created a half devastator half superion guy and wasnt too impressed either. Oh and as usual nothing new at my wal mart down here .

    Mirage, if you're looking for a Barricade Boise Target restocked and had a couple, as well as a few of the Highwire/Kicker sets if you were interedted in those.

    Oh and yes I agree, the limbs repainted is pretty cruddy, I wish they could have at least remolded them even a little....oh well I suppose.

    Thanks Grimlock. I'll see if I can't find my way out to Target to get a Barricade. I already picked up a Kicker. I try not to think about how much it cost, but I enjoy having Kicker stand next to Ironhide. I was interested in Alpha Quintesson until I saw what the toy looked like. I can't believe that they are putting that thing on the market.

    Yeah, Alpha-Q is pretty campy....I'm going to get it solely on nostalgia since its the first Quintesson toy released, but the first thing I'm going to do is rip off those ******ed chainsaw things.

    By the way, still nothing new at the Walmarts on State street and in Meridian. However, the Eagle Target had a lone Energon Galvatron. It's still there if anyone's interested.

    I'm going to try the Overland Walmart on my way home tonight, but I highly doubt there will be anything there. It looks like the toy section waged a war and lost.

    Of course, Overland Walmart is still barren.

    Nothing new down here...what they did have was a 2 pack with regular Rodimus and Prowl figures and advertising superion on the back of the package...all for 10 bucks...why is this stuff getting cheaper after I've bought it.

    Surprisingly, TRU had Alternators Grimlock. Two of them. I hid them with some Energon Megatrons. They also had Meister and Swindle.

    Nothing new at the Meridian Walmart either.

    btw, thanks Mirage, you saved me a trip to Overland tonight :thumbs2:

    I hid it behind the Megatrons so they should hopefully still be there. Let me know if you were able to get it!

    Looks like someone found your hidden stash Grimlock...Alt grim was no where to be found. I did pick up Swindle though I wasn't gonna but I had to have an Alternators fix. And Boise Target had 2 of the Bruticus combiner limbs...tank and helicopter. There was one set left. I didnt do too much hunting today. Oh well...my wal mart down here got in like 20 landmine and scorpinok sets...ugh

    Sorry Grimmy wasn't there:( 

    I was able to find the Bruticus limbs and the last two Superion limbs there at Target this afternoon as well. Can't wait to get home and put together Superion!

    Yeah, that was me. I'm sorry that I beat you to the Alt. Grimlock. You just needed to be a few minutes quicker. I'm not sure what happened to the other Grimlock that was supposed to be hidden. When I found him, he was out in the open on top of the stack of Silverstreaks.

    Thats pretty cool...I had wondered if any of us would ever bump into each other out on the hunt. No worries I'll get mine eventually, I'm just glad it was you who got him instead of some kid who would probally tear him up. The sale people musta thought I was nuts coz I was on my knees digging behind the big toys looking for Grimlock. I take it you passed on swindle then huh? If we ever bump into each other again say hi.

    lol I usually get on my hands and knees looking for alts too:lol 
    I've gotten some funny looks.

    Sorry the other Grimlock was gone Guile, I try to hide them pretty well...maybe there's another 'digger' in our ranks.
