Ok I found the driller and the star hammer behind some leader DOTM toys at franklin mills Wal-Mart, so thanks to whoever hid them!

They still have one star hammer and 2 hot shots

Told him that his store was disgusting, the shelves and aisles were a mess, nothing is where it should be, and new stock is rarely if ever present there. He looked at me with a completely shocked face and said "ok". OK? Really? I laughed.
First I would like to say I have seen some of the customes you have done and they look really good. I can appreciate the work you do to them coming from a body shop, and it looks like you use a spray gun to paint them.

I agree with you that the Neshaminy Wal-Mart never looks like they straiten the shelves, and the stock is not so great compared to say the Levittown Super Wal-Mart or the Franklin Mills Wal-Mart. Maybe it's because they are a lower volume store, but laughing at the manager won't get anything done. It would be better if you gave him an example or walked him down the isle.

I used to work at the Fairless Hills Wal-Mart when I was young and there were somethings that was in the control of the managers and the people who work there and other things that are not. Maybe if you suggested how hot the toys were and how well they would sell, then maybe they would be able to setup an end cap with them and order extra stock.

I know you go to the Oxford Valley Toys R Us and that is what they did with the Prime toys. Unfortunately that Toys R Us did it with the wave of endless Bees, so I am sure they will have them for a long time.

Butler Walmart has:

Driller/Starhammer
2 Voyager Bulkheads
1 Voyager Starscream
1 Armor Topspin
1 Air Raid
1 Darksteel

Edit: AHH! FOC in Malaysia! Soon I will have things to look for again instead of looking just for the heck of it.

The Starhammer is pretty cool. just be careful taking out Wheeljack's swords I almost broke one and now it has a white stress mark instead of the clear blue color.

It would not do a single thing. The volume of toys they sell in a week in peanuts compared to the rest of the store. It is why they shrunk most toy space in Wal-Marts that are not super centers. But, I did that. He did not care. He actually told my daughter and I we might have better luck at Target or Toys R Us!! The previous manager of the store kept it impeccable, and made the store one of the higher volume stores in the area..... then he left to go to the new Hiltown supercenter. The Neshaminy store was actually on a short list to be converted to a supercenter..... not anymore.

If I was a manager of ANY store I would NEVER let my store look like a tornado went through it. I worked at Oxford Valley TRU in high school and we HAD to clean and straighten each aisle every night.

The Lititz Target (opened in October) was good while I was around in the fall, but it basically went downhill after that. I stop in pretty much daily because I get groceries next door, but it always looks like a tornado blew through and nobody stocks anything ever. Except Bot Shots. The pharmacy area is the only part of the store that looks up kept. I can only imagine how bad it will be after it has a chance to be around for a while.

I get 2% or more cash back on nearly everything I buy! Ask me how!

Energon Drill by Squall42080, on Flickr

And before I hear any crap about my Vehicons...I only found one at retail...the rest were traded for.

It's a bit of a pain to get a Vehicon locked in back there, but I think he looks pretty decent once seated properly. Also, the "energon" saw blade that comes with Legion Class Knock-Out can be wedged into Deluxe Knock-Out's arm for some saw blade action! I think this set was totally worth it. Excited to have something new and decent from Hasbro.

The Star Hammer on the other hand...
is the vehicon standing or on his knees? i think it looks proportionate. the normal way, with the legion figure, looks way out of proportion compared to the show. in the show it'd be accurate if the legion figure was a human, cause that's how jack looked when he used it.

as of sunday, bristol walmart, neshaminy walmaart, franklin mills walmart and tru = nothing..
lets not bring this shit up again. listen.. a lot of people have normal jobs and actually have to work for their money (phoenix, i'm not implying that you don't work, i'm directing that statement to the general scalper out there) and some of us here also have families to take care of. they can't get to a store right when it opens because they have to drive the kids to school.

i think it's a little inappropriate to say that if you don't have a couple, then you're not trying. people try, either their stores won't stock them, or they don't have ample hunting time on their hands.

i only have 1, i've only ever seen one in a store. i'm waiting on the revision of wave 4 when there'll be 2 per case. and he'll also be in wave 6. so hopefully the hoarders will have purchased the ones they want, and we'll have our chance at getting them. i'd like to get 3 more.

and like smarch said, we're not hating.. we're frustrated because we can't find them, and the people who have multiples enjoy flaunting it.. and if you can't admit that you're flaunting them, then you're in denial. it's just a real douche move at this point. it's like going up to a homeless person, looking them in the eye, and lighting a $100 bill on fire. it's just uncalled for and completely .. well.. douchey.

i had to do a run this past weekend, and one of the stops was the walmart in north philly.. man, you want to talk about a mess. it was hideous. in the bread section, you couldn't tell what was supposed to go where, there was a cockroach, there was loaves of bread all mangled up, it literally looked like a tornado had just ripped through.
