    Called New Dimension Comics at C3 Mall West Mifflin - mostly to ask if they had any Wave 2 Titan Masters. They did not - and didn't apparently have any more wave 1 either for that matter.

    I was at that Century III New Dimension Comics on Saturday afternoon. They had Blaster and Powermaster Prime for $46.99 each. The nearby TRU had the new RID figures, a couple of wave 1 TR deluxes, an MP Bee (which I passed on because I heard rattling in the box and didn't want to risk buying the last figure and finding out it's broken), and three Sentinel Primes. Meant to update when I got home but it slipped my mind, sorry!

    Still looking for Crash Bash, Skytread, and Apeface for Titan Masters, and Galvatron.

    Most sightings groups do the same just make it easier, it can't possibly make for that many posts to sort through.

    +1 for still calling it Franklin Mills and not Philadelphia Mills, lol.

    EDIT: Just remembered that the road is still called Franklin Mills Circle, haha. I usually consider Franklin Mills as the mall and surrounding areas.

    Huh, I think that's actually cheaper that Toys R Us which has the Leaders at $49.99. Not bad all things considered.

    Is New Dimension Comics in West Mifflin worth stopping at if I'm primarily looking for older (preferably loose) Transformers and Gundam kits? I'm passing through Pittsburgh tomorrow and it wouldn't be too far off my route.

    I can't speak to NDC, as I've never been, but 15 minutes away in Munhall is a place called "Too Groovy." They had a decent amount of loose G1s the last time I was there. Picked up a loose Whirl and almost nabbed a G1 Jetfire. Hours are a bit hit or miss though.

    New Dimension in West Mifflin has a decent range of ages of toys, like you'll probably see some G1s there, some modern, and some in-between. I don't know what they have for Gundam though.

    So I know its all about the titan returns wave now but has anyone seen CW Skylynx? I feel like he got skipped over in Philly area because I never seen him in all my quests.

    He was reportedly showing up at discount, a la TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Ross, but I never saw him there myself.

    (But I got mine at Target a few months ago)

    Check discount, but you may have missed the very narrow window on him.

    I never once saw him in Pgh either. Seems like he was the Generations Windcharger of the CW line.

    Has anyone had any luck finding Walmart's Civil War Falcon in the Pottstown or KOP region? I'd love to nab one before my son's birthday, but most stores look like a wasteland whenever we swing by.

    Ah, I meant the 6" Walmart exclusive Falcon, not the 3.75" version. Thanks, though!

    Shippensburg Walmart- one TR Blurr and a NuRiD Sideswipe.
    Chambersburg Target- a few leader Skywarps, some NuRiD stuff and a few Legion Bisks. I love the legion class and I still passed on that atrocity.

    Chambersburg Walgreens

    1x Pop Green Goblin (I bought it) So there's none left. No other Marvel pops, it was just him.
    They had some old AoE and RiD Transformers stuff.
    They had 4 Namors, a Rogue, and an Iceman. Plus a bunch of older legends.

    I didn't see any Brainstorms or Punishers.

    You didn't happen to notice any of the Halloween Peanuts or Rey Pops, did you?

    I don't remember seeing any Peanuts. I do recall seeing a few Star Wars ones, but I don't remember what they were.
