    I picked PL Hotshot at Wal-Mart in Pharr/McAllen. They did have lots of PL Thrust and a couple of the cheetors. Thats about it.

    the target in austin at lamar and 290 had most of the new supercons in. I picked up cheetor, pl thrust, pl hot shot, and pl cyclonus. Now all i need is a predacon and pl jetfire, one crappy red alert in my collection is good enough.

    The new redalert is kinda cool. Once I took off the extra paint around his mouth he appears much better now. I think I like the brown thrust better than the red now. As for Hot shot I didnt get one because I feared the grey forehead.....If any one in austin finds a red forehead Hotshot let us know, ok.

    I kinda agree on Thrust, I like him better than the first release, but I dunno about Red Thrust quite yet.. and there's no such thing as a crappy Red Alert. :cool:  What extra paint are you refering to BTC?

    Oh, and grey forehead PL Hot Shot does NOT look bad. Looks pretty good.

    Last week I found the newer Minicon repaints at Target and today I found PL Thrust, Hotshot, Cyclonus and Armada Cheetor at Super Wal-Mart. Also, I know most people aren't interested, but at Big Lots I found the KO BW original basics (Rattrap, Bump(forgot his U.S. name), Terrorsaur and Iguanus, plus the TM2 Megatron and OpOp. I have heard that the yellow Lioconvoy, black Heinlad and a few other large KO BW bots have also been seen there.

    This is for all Trans COllectors in the Bryan College Station area......Powerlinx Figs are out at the Brenham Tx Wallmart

    I know it's 35 minutes away, but hey it's been a long wait and it seems to be getting longer every day. So you can wait or you can take the drive to Brenham... They are sure to be there, because they are out in massive numbers.
