    If anyone's still looking for it, the North Lake/Tucker Target (on Lavista; Atlanta GMA) has the Classics "Battle for Autobot City" two-pack on clearance for $9.98. I bought 3 (1 for repaint, 2 for donation), but they still had about 10 left.

    I found Classics Devastator at Wal-Mart in Kennesaw (I think). It's the Wal-Mart on Chastain Meadows (again I think) which is the first left after you take the first exit on 575 after it splits from 75. I don't have an address, but the phone number is 770-427-4933.

    There were about 20 sets and they were $29.76. DEVSTR 5 PK 065356921841

    If you're a Star Wars fan, they also had the Treachery on Saleucami two-pack for $18.98.

    My wife and I were heading out of Atlanta for the weekend and stopped at a WMT near Carrollton, GA and there was a full endcap of Classics Devastator. I bought one, but I'm having second thoughts about it. It's just a reissue in a gift set. I'll probably return it for a refund.

    Also found Alt Ravage--huzzah!--bought the last one. No Rumble, but since I found Ravage I'm confident that I'll own him shortly.

    And it may be too late to even ask this, but I never did find a Classics Soundwave reissue at any of three TRUs I checked after it was released. If anyone sees one *anywhere* (besides for sale online @ $50+) in/around the ATL area, please let me know.

    I found a Rumble at the Suwanee WMT Monday evening. They had one left, and I sorta hid it behind the other Alts for anyone in that area looking for it. No Ravages anywhere unfortunately. They also had about 6-8 Classics Devastator gift sets.

    Also found the G1 poster that I'd seen reports of here on the boards:
    http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=128441

    It's very nice. And I paid less than the $4.99 reported. It was only $4.47 + tax.

    This isn't TF related--I'm doing a favor for a friend.

    My former roommate has a house he wants to rent out in Lawrenceville near the Hwy 20/Sugarloaf intersection. It's a nice place--easily 1500+ sq ft, with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. Has a vaulted ceiling in the living room, hardwood floors in half the house, and the garage has been closed in and serves as a nice bonus room. Has a huge yard, and the previous owners also built two nice treehouses in the backyard (my wife and I had a picnic in one of them once, so they're not just useful for watergun or pinecone fights). Washer/dryer/fridge/stove/microwave are all included.

    This house would easily fit a family of 4-5, and would be an awesome bachelor pad split between 3-4 roommates. Not sure what my old roommate's going to be asking in the way of rent and such (probably over $1000 a month), but if you're interested PM me I'll put you in touch with him.

    Ravage and Rumble Alternators at the Walmart on Chastain Plains, just off of the Barrett Parkway not just off 575. I don't have the address, but the phone number is 770-427-4933.

    Buckhead TRU (Atlanta GMA)

    Dozens of each movie Protoform figure
    1x SWTF Saesee Tiin Jedi Starfighter
    Possibly 1x SWTF Mace Windu; I didn't look too closely and there are so many releases of that mold, they're starting to run together.

    Sorry this is so late, but this sighting was from last Friday.

    The K-Mart across from the big chicken in Marietta has the following:
    6" Titanium Rodimus (x2), Starscream and RiD Optimus prime.

    They also had a bunch of the movie stuff, but would not override the computer and sell anything to me.
    They had the Optimus voice changing helmet, all the Fast Action Battlers, the transforming pillows, all the spy gear, both transforming blasters and the Optimus and Bumblebee non-transforming stompers.

    The Wal-Mart across from the K-Mart has Classics Devastator.

    Walmart in Dallas has the giant banner with Prime and Barricade over the aisle and is overstocked on protoforms, yet no other movie toys.

    Target in Dallas, all they have are protoforms and I also spotted two of the puzzles.

    Walmart on Clairmont Rd (Atlanta GMA) has the Transformers arch-sign over their action figure aisle, but no protoforms or other movie toys. I've also noticed a few Targets that appear to be clearing up space for the TF movie stuff.

    *bump*

    Target, South Buckhead (Atlanta GMA)

    Had one Deluxe Bonecrusher in with the Movie Protoforms. Purchased by me, but just wanted to let everyone know these are trickling out.

    Target, Buckhead (Atlanta GMA)

    No new figures, but they do have ~5 feet of shelf space near the Protoforms cleared out with their "We're creating something new" signs by it. Wouldn't surprise me if this ends up the Movie display zone.

    TRU, Buckhead (Atlanta GMA)

    - SWTF Saesee Tinn again, although I think it's probably the same one I saw before and they just aren't selling.
    - Movie keychains - Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. Seemed to have more Prime than Bumblebee, but I didn't count exactly.
    - 3" Titanium G1 two-pack - Optimus Prime and Bumblebee again, but the G1 versions. Had about eight of them.

    And again, with a better update this time...

    Walmart, Tucker (Atlanta GMA)

    LOTS of movie stuff, here's the rundown:

    Deluxe Jazz
    Deluxe Barricade
    Deluxe Wreckage
    Deluxe Brawl
    Deluxe '74 Bumbleebee

    They had multiples of everything, although I didn't see as many Bumblebee or Wreckage. I also wasn't paying close enough attention and didn't see Bonecrusher or Scorponok (got distracted by the Voyagers).

    1x Voyager Starscream
    1x Voyager Ratchet
    1x Voyager Ironhide
    1x Voyager Blackout

    Unfortunately, the sell restriction was still in effect and I wasn't able to pick them up. The teller said they'd be returning those to the back until the street date.

    Cyber Stompin' Bumblebee (at least one)
    Barricade vs '74 Bumblebee two-pack (multiple)
    Optimus Prime Rig Blaster (at least one)

    I didn't try to purchase any of these to check the sell restriction


    TRU, North Lake (Atlanta GMA)

    1x Saesee Tinn SWTF
    1x Mace Windu SWTF

    Wal-Mart, Tucker (Atlanta GMA)

    Was paying a little more attention today and noticed a few other things. Note that I didn't try buying any of this stuff, so I don't know if the sell restriction is in effect for them:

    - Optimus Prime Voice Changer (multiple)
    - Optimash Prime (multiple)
    - Cyber Stompin'/Stomper/whatever Optimus Prime (1)

    The Deluxes were fairly picked over, with a fair amount of Jazz and Barricade remaining...and I snagged the last Scorponok.

    TRU, North Lake (Atlanta GMA)

    3" Titanium G1 Optimus Prime and Bumblebee two-pack (~5)

    Columbus, Ga Last night

    The Target had tons of space cleared for the toys, Wal-Mart had the Transformer Movie Banner set up over the toy aisle and Toys R Us - You could tell what was going on due to renovations to the building.

    - 2x Voyager Ironhide (1 purchased by me)
    - 2x Voyager Starscream (1 purchased by me)
    - Multiples of all first wave Target exclusive Scouts
    - At least two Voice Changers and two Rig Blasters
    - A few Deluxes mixed in with the Protoforms; at least one of every Deluxe
    - 4x Leader Prime (1 purchased by another guy who was there at the same time as me)

    TRU, Buckhead (Atlanta GMA) - 8:20AM

    They weren't open until 10AM, but I rode by and saw them setting up the TF display where the Spider-Man 3 stuff was.

    - At least one of each Real Gear, but looked picked over
    - At least 4 each of Ironhide and Starscream

    - About 50:50 new Deluxes and Protoforms.
    - At least 4 "Unleashed" Bumblebees
    - Multiple FABs, Voice Changers, Rig Blasters, Cyber Stompers, Robot Heroes and other stuff
    - Multiples of all first wave exclusive Scouts

    Target Greatland, North Druid Hills - 9:15AM

    - 1x Voyager Ironhide
    - 2x Voyager Ratchet (1 purchased by me)
    - 2x Voyager Blackout (1 purchased by me)
    - Very few new Deluxes mixed in with the Protoforms.
    - Multiple Robot Heroes, Cyber Stompers, FABs and various others.
    - Out of the Plushies
    - Either out of Real Gears or didn't have them out yet or something; had plenty of peg space for them
