    Didnt manage to find that gamer edition optimus at barranca, i think someone got to it before i did. :( 

    Mcfadden walmart had tons of two packs with drag strip and wild rider. An army of g2 cloudcovers, two ss fallens, a coronation starscream, one ss rhinox.

    Talbert walmart had two bombshells, a ton of strongarms, one detritus, an 86 sludge, loads of blitzwings, and three ss fallens that all were opened and had missing heads lol.

    17th st target had three nemesis leo primes, one crashbar, one animated prowl, one ss rhinox. There was also a gamer edition cliff that was misplaced on a different shelf.

    For some reason all the SS Gamer Edition WFC Optimus Primes are on the top shelf. Saw about 3 or 4.
    They also had some of the Black Friday 2 packs, which some lady scanned as $17. Pretty sure thats what the website told her, not sure what the actual store rings up. Didn't see any clearance stickers on them. Only 2 pack I didn't see was the one with Jazz, which I didn't even see back then when they finally came in.
    Speaking of those 2 packs, some were separated and sold separately. Possibly, a customer separated them in store or returned/swapped the ones they didn't want.

    Saw a few more Xamots spread across the store and it looked like Croc Master got restocked.

    Went to Market St. Ross and saw the same TFs that you did - nothing I wanted, but a decent amount of stuff nonetheless. Didn’t know until I went in that they have 4 floors worth of stuff (toys are on level 3).

    Grabbed 1 of the 2 United Megatrons (thanks to your sighting) from Metreon Target down the street and left behind 2 Tasmania Kids and 1 Bouldercrash as well. They also had Studio Series Nightbird and Evolution Bombshell (first time seeing either of those in person) in addition to Strongarm, Shadow Striker, and Detritus. No Mutatin’ Bebop and Rocksteady, but City Targets tend to have more limited selections anyway, so I’m not surprised that there wasn’t a shelf tag (or space) for them.
