    Danvers Wal-Mart has stocked with all the Cybertron scouts that are out Ransack, Overhaul, Scattershot, Clocker, Hardtop, and the Recon Minicon Team. Also had all the deluxes as well.

    Peabody TRU stocked with everything but the scouts.

    There is a swerve waiting for one of you at the Woburn TRU, plus a lot of Swindles and Grimlocks, and all of cybertron wave one.

    Wal Mart in Fall River had 2 Primes, 1 Megatron, and 3 Clockers left as of yesterday evening (it also had one of the minicon pack and one hardtop, but I bet you can guess where those went :ev:  ).

    For those of you who visit the Danvers Wal*Mart, they moved the toy section. It's just past the pet supplies, across the aisle from where it used to be.

    I stopped in yesterday in hopes to pick up Clocker and the Recon Team (which I did), and they were just finishing up moving the toy section. Basically, all the toys were thrown on shelves, vaguely grouped by brand. The TFs were in with the model paints and cars. From what I could tell, they had the wave 1 and 2 basics, the wave 1 deluxes, megas, ultras, and leaders. No sign of supreme Starscream or any Alts.

    No Transformer sighting, but the Woburn Target is doing their reset. I wouldn't be surprised if Override and Red Alert showed up shortly after.

    Also for Star Wars Unleashed collecters like myself I also saw the new Darth Vader (1), A. Ventress (4), and Yoda vs. Sideous (0 after I picked it up). Only left the other two because I already have them although was tempted to pick Vader up a hawk him on Ebay.

    After checking with the Medford Toys R Us on the Fellsway Plaza, I can give some of you an update. I haven't heard anything regarding this location in a long time. But here's what I've found. Oh, and... do translate as I'm very used to the Japanese names instead of Hasbro's wacky recycled ones.

    Alternators: Shockblast x 2, 1 Wheeljack, plenty of Ravages, some Smokescreen/Sideswipe combo packages.

    As for Cybertron...

    Galaxy Convoy -- plenty around it seems
    Master Megatron -- a handful
    Supreme Starscream -- just 1
    Flame Convoy -- Just 1
    Dreadlock -- 2 (or was that 3?) found
    Vector Prime -- plenty to go around, some overstock at the top shelf
    Land Bullet -- plenty to go around, some overstock at the top shelf
    Exillion -- a handful, no exact count
    Thundercracker -- same as above
    Inch Up -- unsure of exact count but found

    I believe that's all I've found. I also do noticed something weird with Megatron while I was over there. The coloring seems to be off and I don't know why that's there. I was extremely tempted in getting Dreadlock/Jetfire as he has a silverish kind of finish on him but I'm also clueless as to how the paint job is on Takara's version. One thing is certain, I cannot trust Hasbro's version all that much, even tho I cannot find any obvious visual differences between Hot Shot and Exillion. A pity... I would have bought Hasbro's version had they kept the original paint job instead of making unnecessary changes.

    It looks like that is about 25 miles, I'll check it out tomorrow. Buying the reissue for replacement Decals is almost cheaper than buying replacement decals from Repro/labels.

    happen to recall how much tracks was?

    I don't know the confirmed price as I didn't check. The price labels were conflicting on one of the boxes. It'll either be 20 bucks or 15. I'm guessing it's the latter.

    The Saugus Tarzhay has their Cybertron display out. Just wave 1 of all class sizes and none of the 1.5 basics yet.

    They also have two Alt Grimlocks and a Swindle.

    Well, there goes my stop on the way home from work Thursday.

    How is Red Alert, is he worth it? I'm still on the fence about buying him.

    He is far shorter in bot mode than the other deluxes. He is a lot of fun, though. He looks good in both modes as long as you don't mind a little bit of head sticking up in alt mode (no, it is not as bad as, say, energon iron hide. You can see the top of his head. That is it).

    Basically what he said. After playing with both Override and Red Alert a little bit I actually prefer Red Alert. I really wanted Override and was on the fence about Red Alert like you said, glad I picked him up. I am a little disappointed with Override.

    Stopped by the Woburn Target today for other things and noticed that the toy reset is almost done. All of Wave 1 of Cybertron is in stock now. Didn't see any Wave 1.5/2 toys though.
