    Dang! Sucks that you haven't seen anything, but hopefully soon. Unfortunately it seems like stuff gets here later than other places, although I've gotten lucky before so who knows .

    Goodluck with the Ballentine Walmart! They're pretty good about getting in their exclusives. I've also found that the Lexington Walmart is good about that too

    No go at Ballentine Walmart. Just the same Sweeps and the Legacy Beasts.
    Also checked Garners Ferry Target and Forest Drive Walmart. Nothing to comment on either stop.

    Guess we'll have to wait another 2 months or so before anything new hits our area again. The usual in this bloody state

    Dang, sorry you didn't find anything! I try not to look for stuff until at least two weeks after it's first been spotted elsewhere, but I usually get that "but if I don't look than I might miss out" feeling that gets the best of me lmao. Just sucks with how long stuff can take around here. Only luck I had with stuff getting here early lately was finding the new SS Arcee and Ironhide at the Harbison Target around a month and a half ago or so

    Yeah, that FOMO hits haaard. I missed out on the Velocitron Cosmos pre-order window, so I'm extra anxious to grab things up now. It'll come in time, but it suuucks waiting when there's so many others get to show theirs off online. Ah well. Our time will be here eventually.
    Thanks for the well wishes and advice. Hope you're able to find a Blackout soon. When you do, I hope to grab one soon after haha

    It does, there have been times where I know I won't find anything but I still go anyways. I hope you find what you're looking for! I'll be keeping an eye out for the Velocitron stuff too since I really want Override, and maaaaybe that Scourge. I'll be sure to post here if I find anything, and hopefully MPM Blackout pops up soon!

    I just grabbed a Legacy Blitzwing from the West Columbia Walmart. It was the only one amongst like 4 Galvatrons, and the box was heavily damaged (though the fig and accessories are perfect). Didn't see anything else of interest.
    A few Legacy Sandstorms, Buzzsaws, and Night Prowler, Legacy Arcee, and a couple of SS Bumblebee movie Brawn.

    Glad to be of help. For my next trick: go ye to the barnyard flea market in Lexington. The first row has several toy stores: one of them carries transformers all new in box from several eras (including some hard to find modern stuff like blitzwing). We picked up a year of the horse thrilling 30 starscream which is almost titan scale MIB for my girlfriend who is attached to the little weasel. He says he has several of the new metroplex’s coming in.

    To anyone looking for the Walmart Velocitron Collection, keep your eyes peeled.
    According to Brickseek, Override is showing in stock around the Columbia area Wal-Marts (Augusta Rd, Garners Ferry, Sunset, Forest Drive, Harbison, Two Notch).
    I went to the Harbison Wal-Mart today on my lunch hour, and they were in the process of restructuring the toy aisle. I asked about their Transformers shelf, but they said right now it's "in hiatus" and to check again later tonight/tomorrow.
    Primus willing, maybe they'll start stocking those lads in this weekend.

    Also, not a local sighting per say, but for those still looking for Masterpiece Blackout, Target's website does have it available for purchase.
    I bit the bullet, ordered it, and it's scheduled to arrive next Wednesday, August 10th.

    Hope this info helps!

    I've noticed this too, I'm gonna go check some out soon! Don't wanna miss out on Override since she seems like she'll be popular.

    I bought one when it first went in stock and it got here on Wednesday! I would have loved to find it in person but I didn't wanna risk missing it since Target doesn't seem to keep these in stock for long.

    Buying a velocitron cosmos and blurr at Walmart bluffton. Leaves one blurr plus the rest of the case. Not on the shelf, they’re on a pallet near toys. Didn’t look that hard for other velocitron stuff but didn’t notice any. I did notice on another pallet a case of bw reissue terrorsaurs which I left.

    Checked Newberry Walmart for the Velocitron stuff and nothing yet. Brickseek is showing that one and several others as having them in stock though, so hopefully they'll be out soon!

    Ha I was the one who grabbed the cosmos and the one blurr, and no I'm not a scalper, but I was on vacation too from the greater Charlotte area. But, I wasn't there for Hilton Head; I just happen to have family in Bluffton. We out of towners are cherry-picking lol. I did used to live in Bluffton(I'm sure my sightings posts are still in this thread from back then). Anyway, good luck to everyone seeking a Cosmos, the new mascot for FOMO.

    Newberry had some new stuff today! Had Legacy Blitzwing, Jhiaxus, and Soundwave. Blitzwing went home with me. Then they had the Velocitron Voyagers out, which was cool but frustrating. I ordered Override this past Tuesday and she isn't getting here until this coming Tuesday. Could have had her today lmao.
