    Wal*Mart Supercenter in Bryan has Powerlinx Hot Shot, Thrust, and Cyclonus. Also, they have a couple of Cheetors and Airrazors.

    Hey Did you buy the PLX Hotshot, if so could you upload pics of it, because you got the variant.. I know because I came after you and got it as well. The one they had at the Supercenter had the autobot symbol defined, and the others at other stores have the regular one. So if you bought it, upload pics so others can see.

    Thanks

    I picked up Universe Prime and Ultra Magnus at Sams in College Station this morning. Both were $17.83. There were quite a few left, I got the third and fourth from the two tier pallet display with the rest of the Christmas toys.

    A friend of mine said the College Station TRU has tons of Hoists and Inferno reissues. The Bryan Super Walmart and Navasota Walmart is well stocked with Cheetor, PL Hot Shot (red forehead/clean Autobot symbol version), Brown PL Thrust, and Green Cyclonus.

    Tidal Wave and Overload have not been seen in the BCS area for weeks though.

    Hey Soundwavempl,

    You sure the PLX Hot Shot's have the red forehead?? I got two and while they did have the clear symbol, none had the red foreheads. Have you actually seen the red forehead?? Please get back to me on it...

    Thanks

    Hmm...interesting. I have not actually seen the red forehead. You can't see it either by just looking at the figure sealed in the package.

    To clear the red forehead issue up, check out the PL Hot Shot comparison pictures here:

    http://www.transfandom.net/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=12&t=7714

    This is why I said the PL Hot Shot with the clear Autobot Symbol had the red forehead. I don't have one but I do have the grey forehead version with the unclean Autobot Symbol.

    Hope this helps!

    Tidal Wave, PLX Jetfire, PLX Cyclonus and PLX Thrust found at the Wal-Mart near Lakeline (620 and 183). Tidal Wave and PLX Thrust are pretty cool (I got the 'desert camo' Thrust).

    Hey AUstin peeps, went to new Geffory's on I-35 and Parmer I guess it is, and they have SuperCons buy one get on free, or lesser value. I got a supercon and more Minicons baby!!!....

    Place is really cool, they have really out done themselves, I cant belive the Rus company has actually dished out money to do all this. Now there are 3 TRU's in Austin.

    So does anyone want my X-mas list???
    just kidding.....

    Heh. Forgot all about sighting lately.
    Jhiaxus and Megabolt, the KB exclusives, are at the Highland Mall and Lakeline Mall KBs. Still a couple of Destructicons even, and clear Spychangers at the Highland Mall as well. They've unloaded many figures from a fresh new wave, and have all the Universe figures at both stores. But it's a damn mess, you need to hunt.

    Went to the Parmer/I35 TRU, and just as you said, Contessa_Convoy, the place is real impressive. Loved seeing almost the ENTIRE hasbro commemoritive line on the shelves.
    BTW, you work at KB?
