    How did this appear without me noticing it?? *sees the post with its location inside the mall* Oh. There. That explains it.

    So is it 2 Refraktors to a case?

    No idea. I just saw 2x Red, 2x Brunt, and 1 Refraktor. Case is of 8. I'm sure a quick Google would fine the case assortment numbers.

    If I remember correctly from when I looked it up, it was 4 Refraktors, 2 Brunts, and 2 Red Alerts. Or something like that. I know they're over-packing the Refraktors because they know people will want to grab 3 of them.

    Incidentally, I checked Target at Potomac Run Plaza, and the Dulles Crossing and Dulles Landing Walmarts this afternoon. Didn't see anything new or super noteworthy.

    That probably makes sense. Because that means the person who got there before me just picked up 3 Refrakors and left the rest.

    So I’m assuming that this place is the only Walmart you saw them in. So for the people like me in Hampton roads will be waiting a week or two for them to hit our stores. How do you like the figures? How is red Alert

    I found a lone red alert at the Warrenton WalMart and I purchased him. Nothing else of note.

    As a 2nd MI transplant. I never found anything good at that FAO in the mall in Troy. But Farmington Hills/Madison Heights TRUs/Targets/Walmarts/Meijers area back there was the best!

    Nothing to report out in the country (Ruckersville/Gordonsville/Charlottesville) the big numbers on Brickseek are just wave 2 restock.

    No new Transformers at the Central Park Fredericksburg Walmart today. They did have the complete Marvel Legends Kingpin wave if anyone is looking.

    Leesburg Walmart has a bunch of older stuff. It also has a few Legends X-men figures for those looking.
    Nothing new.

    I was right there this morning and decided not to go in thinking that nothing would be there.

    Before anyone asks. I was there at 3:30 this morning. A 40-minute drive turns into a 25ish-minute drive at that time.

    Thanks for the sighting. I was going to head down that way tomorrow. Now I won't.

    more detailed note - Gordonsville/Zion C. and Ruckersville had nothing but wave 2. Charlottesville has some wave 1 mixed in with a ton of Chromia and Prowl.

    I'm tempted to trek out to Harrisonburg and Waynesboro, but seriously, it's a big suck to go all the way out there for nothing new... and there's a LOT of stock in Harrisonburg currently.

    Hot mess. Plus there was a rotund woman in the aisle stealing pieces out of the lego boxes so I didn't get as good of a look as I would have liked.

    And you didn’t try to make a Citizen’s Arrest?

    Nah, that's okay, life made the citizen's arrest for her long ago.

    Okay, so regarding R & R in Tysons... I talked to the guy there and he says they've been there since last year. I didn't know, because they're down the Lord & Taylor side hall that no one ever goes down. He says they're closing and moving all the stuff back to the Springfield location on 6/23. He also told me the Springfield store is expanding into two (I dunno whether they'll be adjacent or in different parts of the mall); one will focus on videogames and the other will be records. I'm not sure where the toys will be concentrated, but the stores will have more room from the expansion. So that's happening, whatever it means.

    What??!:eek:  The Tyson’s store is closing? And I just went there! I hope the Two stores will be close, and I think that the toys and comics will be lumped into the Video Games one.

    Yeah, I was super surprised, too. They (or the mall?) didn't do a great job of letting people know it was even there. I live about half a mile from the mall, I probably walked past that side-hall 50x without knowing it was there. (There's also apparently a place that does fancy Turkish coffee, in the small atrium in front of R & R? Who knew?) I kinda wonder if the plan was always for it to be a temporary store, just until the second storefront in Springfield was available. I dunno if they'd planned it that far ahead.
