    Walker Springs Wal-Mart in Knoxville has 1 Alt. Hound and 4 Alt. Silverstreaks as of 11:00 this morning. Most Targets in the area have reset and almost all of them have Omega Supreme in stock.

    Charles, I'm forgot that I'm going to be in West Virginia that weekend of the TF meeting ... DAMN! Hopefully we can have another one soon, I would really like to meet up with everyone.

    Take care, TLC

    After a weekend at my family's house in Alabama, I must say that I'm DAMN glad to be living in Tennessee. It is a collector's wasteland! It wasn't all bad, though ... I did manage to snag a couple of Harry Potter Dementors for a friend of mine. I know I must have checked 11 or so Wal-Marts on the way down and the one which left the best impression on me was located on Brainerd Road in Chattanooga. It was the only Wal-Mart between Knoxville, TN and Tuscaloosa, AL which had Omega Supreme in stock. The lady in the toy department there was super nice, too.

    Anyone seen anything lately?

    Feral Prime, you're REALLY lucky to live near that Wal-Mart. Actually, I did stop at several Wal-Marts b/w here and Tuscaloosa: 2 in Knoxville, 1 in Lenoir City, Athens, Cleveland, 2 in Chattanooga, Ft. Payne AL, 3 in Birmingham, and 2 in Tuscaloosa ... my comment was regarding the fact that the one you live near off Brainerd Rd was the best of them all. The other Wal-Mart in Chattanooga (near Hamilton Place Mall) was terrible! I can't speak too negatively of it, though ... I did find my JL 10" Wonder Woman at that Wal-Mart back around January. Maybe I'll bump into you there someday.

    Take care,

    TLC

    Unfortunately, I'm going to be out of state this weekend, too. Sorry guys, I'll have to wait until our next meeting to see everyone. Maybe we could have one before Christmas .... is that possible Charles?

    Saw an open case of Ultra wv.3 at WM on Stone Dr. Kingsport, flipped the lid, Bulkhead! (the rest was 1x Landmine, and 1x Scorpy), so i took the Bulkhead and ran :p 

    for the Joe fans, they also had the new Comic packs, but like JoCy only 1 and 2, no Abernathy and friends pack :( 


    edit: forgot to mention, they also had 1x Mirage on the shelf

    I got my Shockblast in the mail today ... he's sweet! Still haven't seen him in local stores yet. Knowing my luck, now that I've got him, I'll start seeing him everywhere.

    Well for those in a knock-off buying sort of mood. Go over to Farragut/Concorde in the Kroger's shopping center across from Farragut highschool. There's a store called "Dollar Store and More" Every sort of freaking knock-off you could want almost. Some Beast Wars, some that looked like knocked Japenese bots, a few vaguely G1 ish looking jets, some Dinobot knocks. I'm said 30 or so different bots, from about 4 or 5 series (American and japanese). Some of them didn't even have english language boxes/cards, they were still in their Asian language boxes.

    Sweet TF day for me. In Knoxville, at the West Town Kohl's, I found......Energon Wheelj.....I mean Downshift. Last one, sorry. (no tow line)Then, I took advantage of the freakin' 30% off TRU sale and got Tracks and Thundercracker. I have been on a G1 kick as of late. Of course, thats all my spending $$$ for the week, but sweet haul!

    Dead-End in Knoxville

    Yesterday morning at the Super Target in west Knoxville ... it was like Christmas! They had the new case of Alternators: 2 Hounds, 1 Silverstreak and 1 Dead-End! They also had the new Xevoz 2-pack with the Cryo-Katana ice-guy. The Hasbro rep (Shiela, if any of you know her) was there and I was so tempted to give her a hug! Keep an eye on Target for Dead-End if you're looking.

    p.s. The reason I didn't post this yesterday is because I had cable problems. Sorry about the delay.

    Found TF E Bulkhead today at the Clinton hwy Wal-Mart. There was only 1 available, hopefully future cases will increase the ratio of these newer figures. Christmas is just around the corner.
