    After getting a chance to finally open the Vehicon I found Friday night, I find it even more sad how hard this toy is to find. Its just an incredibly well done Transformer. By far one of the best in the entire prime line right now. Its totally bonkers how the top half of the car folds up in the shins. I don't even understand how they possibly made that work but Takara totally did. Fingers cross they keep sticking him in cases all throughout the line. I could actually consider buying extras (which I rarely do, even with army builders) if it was a more common find.

    Already bought a Hot Shot from the Walmart on Austin Hwy and waiting on a Knock Out I won on eBay.

    All I need now is a Vehicon!

    Not sure if I can get one if there is ONLY one at any Target or Walmart in the city that someone else can get to before I can. :(

    Oddly enough, they were ahead of the game in my area for both dotm and the first two waves of Prime. I'm guessing that they're either receiving bad instructions from higher up the chain, or no instructions at all. It doesn't seem to be limited to TF's either, the entire toy sections in the 4 stores I check look like an afterthought.

    Target on 1431 in the Ranch in Cedar Park has 2 Hotshots, 2 Knockouts (I grabbed one Knockout) and someone must've got the Vehicon already. I was there around 5:30 PM yesterday.

    I got the other Knockout and 1 of the hotshots. There were some legend class breakdowns though, if anyone was looking.

    Yeah, he does have a point. I found my first sought-after Prime figure, Arcee, at a Walmart and she was the only one I had seen in weeks since wave 2 was released. Also got voyager Prime Starscrearm from one too. I guess it was one of those luck of the draw things

    So yesterday my brother found a Vehicon for me at the Wal-Mart in Garland. This guy is all kinds of awesome. Furthermore I searched SO MANY FREAKING STORES AND HE FINDS IT ON A WHIM!!....That being said I really dig the guy.

    There was one Generations Kup at the Lakeline Mall Ross in Cedar Park. Nothing to report TF-wise at the Wal-Mart across the street. Wal-Mart did however have a couple of Avengers 6" Iron Man and Captain America. The Hulk eludes me.

    I haven't seen him in person, but from what I've seen online I like him. Is there anything specific about him you don't like? I don't really collect Marvel 6" figures, mainly MU, but he piqued my interest. The Wal-Marts around here are lame and seem to get items later than other areas. They've just started appearing at the stores near me and I've come across all of them except Hulk.

    Went by the Fry Rd Walmart today and scored me a 3" Hawkeye and Loki. They had a couple of Knockouts and Hot Shots. I am just looking for the 3" Black Widow so if anyone happens to come across her let me know. I've kind of given up on those 6 inch exclusives and have decided to go with the Marvel Select figures which seem to be a lot nicer looking. The Hulk to me is the perfect size then the Walmart 6 inch one.
