    Thanks to the persistent Wal*Mart shopping of Roanoke Convoy I am now in possession of Energon Prime, Ironhide and Treadbolt. It was a looong afternoon waiting to get off of work and hit the VV Walmart, but there they were. Plenty left, and great condition on the boxes too!

    Both Roanoke Wal-Marts (Franklin Rd. and the one at Valley View) have plenty of Energon Optimus Prime, Treadbolt and Ironhide. Same goes for the Salem Wal-Mart!

    Now they have everything released so far, except for Starscream. Tons of Deluxes and Basics. They have an island display in the middle of the main aisle in toys.

    Found Jetfire - he was on the top shelf. There was a case of 2xJefire and 2xIronhide.

    Has anyone in VA seen the following yet:

    Energon Starscream
    Energon Tidal Wave
    Energon Unicron
    Universe Depth Charge

    The rest of TF:E Wave 1 are in abundance now in L'burg.

    Edit: Actually, haven't seen Jetfire yet, but I haven't looked too hard...picked him up from Amazon.

    Oh lets see here -

    Roanoke Target - as of today, lots of Depth Charges and Tankor/Obsidians. I know, I'm as shocked as anyone.

    Wal-Mart (Challenger Ave) - they've got Rapid Run, no Starscream, which seems to be the trend of having one vs. the other.

    TRU Roanoke - finally got some Energon, but its only Prime, Ironhide, Treadbolt, and the cheapies (Battle Ravage, etc). End cap of TF's looks absolutely pathetic. Pretty heavy stock on Armada Tidal Waves, and Superbase Primes.

    Other news -

    Valley View Walmart has discontinued tags up on their armada merch, so shouldn't expect any more incoming shipments. Roanoke Target, on end caps, has started toy clearance - 30% off - while there's no TF's on there now, probably will be some Armada in the near future with Energon/Alternator/Universe coming in.

    annnnnddddd.......I'm done.

    Cool.... I think I'll go on a toy run this afternoon.... before the winter weather hits. Hopefully I'll find Depthcharge.

    Thanks!

    Why does the L'burg Target suck?

    Went tonight hoping for Depthcharge, and thinking that although they never restock the toys, they surely MUST have done so for CHRISTMAS. The action figure aisle looked exactly the same as it did when I was there about 3 weeks ago...barren. Not because the holiday shoppers emptied it... it's the same stuff warming the pegs. A few Armada deluxes and megas that have been there forever, TF:U Primal and Airazor, and that's it. No Energon, and still no indication that they're making any space for it. The TF section is about 2 feet wide. I guess they don't mind TRU and WM getting the holiday business instead.

    TRU has a huge TF area, L'burg WM is decent sized, and Madison Heights WM is loaded with Energon, including an island with basics and deluxes.

    I found a few Battle Ravages, Energon Primes, Energon Ironhides, and one other at the Tyson's TRU. Not very many probably because of Christmas coming up.

    Anyone know when Energon Starscream and Alternators should be showing up at TRU?

    anyone wondering why they can never find anything in the sterling target until its everywhere else. the managment is laxed, and the employees dont really care about toys. they care more about the CD and game section. trust me on this i work at the sterling target.
