    HEB Plus Pearland also had the autobot wave for $8.50. About eight of each autobot. It was on the center aisle display in the middle of the store. I got the last Rook...

    Hey Ibjc1106, that's a great find! Have you seen Scout Huffer anywhere? And has the Scout Shockwave been seen yet in SA, or is it not out yet over here?

    Also, a G1 Transformers artwork wall canvas has been spotted at a Hobby Lobby (on the Main Page), has anyone seen it in SA?

    Shockwave should be trickling out now yes? Not sure if that was part of the wave recently spotted (with Scattorshot).

    As well, Toys R Us Tech Ridge has about 6 Devastators in the front transformers area with supposedly more in the back (according to the sales associate I called this morning). Bought one of them.

    That's great D3VC0N, may I ask how much it was? Was there any sale or discount? TRU tends to over-price their items and then discount them to their competitor's "standard price" don't they? (Not that I've ever seen 'ol Eggplant-a-Con in any store, in person anyhow.)

    I really want a Titan Devy, but I'm torn between buying a (relatively) cheap Hasbro one now, or saving up some more and waiting for Takara's. I like Hasbro's bot-mode paint better, but I want the better articulation, improved head, and hand-pistols of the Takara version. If I could get a Hasbro Devastator for a steal, I might just go for it, and leave well-enough alone. Decisions, decisions (and budgetary concerns) hmmm.......:confused:

    Sadly after tax, retails at $181. And they wouldn't price match the KMart offer I found for $149.99.

    I know that's overpriced, but what can you do. I expected Devastator to run me over $100+ either way, but I didn't mind paying an extra $20 to get it up front.

    well dont forget TRU does price match, when i got mine two weeks ago, i got him for the $109 price plus tax. they Price match Walmart, Target, and even Amazon, but with Amazon it HAS to be a sold by Amazon product, not a third party retailer.

    TRU Baybrook had 3-4 Devastators last I checked this weekend. Wal-Mart in La Marque had a CW Magnus as of Saturday afternoon.

    Yeah but I only have a short time to find it before I'm back in San Antonio (where it is bone dry). So my only shot was this weekend when they had all of these post Thanksgiving sales (Can't really buy online because of complications with college dorm). And Toys R Us doesn't Price Match right before Black Friday and up to November 30. (found that in the fine print when I got there)

    During my college years when I lived at an on campus college dorm, I purchased a USPS Post Office box on campus and had all packages/mail shipped to the Post Office (I bought a lot of G1 Transformers during my college years). I never had an issue getting mail/packages but had to pick them up during business hours.

    I saw that one mainly at Targets around here. But it was usually 2 to a case I think.

    Confirmed, I got another Viper during my last grocery mission at HEB (Grand Parkway Cinco Ranch Katy), as a side note HEB is also quite good for HotWheels :)
