    Not sure where to put this, but my local Wal Mart broke the street date with Alan Dean Foster's new Transformer prequel novel "The Veiled Threat". I bought it last night for $6.97! It was found at the Wal Mart in Roebuck (Birmingham, Al) Seemed a bit pricey for a thin paperback...(sorry no picture).

    Auburn Wal-Mart had the ROTF Robot Heroes. But they wouldn't ring up at the register. *shakes fist*

    Opelika Wal-mart has a whole endcap of ROTF FABs. But wouldn't let me buy a one of them. T_T

    Saw ROTF Robot Heroes and the first wave of Scout figures at the Decatur Wal-mart. Don't know if they'll scan, but all the scouts' packaging was wrecked.

    Animated Cliffjumper & Dirge at the Madison Wal-mart tonight, 3-4 of each.

    No sign of any movie preview figs anywhere I stopped today, though.

    Opelika Wal-Mart had the ROTF Prime Voice Changer and the Megatron & Bumblebee Power Bots. Neither would ring up though.

    Also found exclusive ROTF T-shirts at Old Navy. o_O

    Anybody in the area found Wave 2 deluxes yet? I saw a few at Toys 'R Us in Hoover, but they'd been picked over already. Trying to find me a Skids. Everything else I've seen around town (and in some cases, outside of town) is all Wave 1 of each class.

    For the record - everything I've seen out for launch from Wave 1 seems to be in more than abundant supply except for Soundwave. I've seen exactly 4 of those total out of all the stores I've hit since Friday night (and believe me, it's been A LOT of places) so if you see him and you're interested, you might wanna snatch him up. He seems to be rare around here, for some reason. Maybe in general now? Dunno.

    Checked out a few stores in Huntsville and haven't seen anything past wave 1 stuff, which I'm happy to find considering what happened with the first movie figures. Only thing of note was a FAB longhaul at toysrus.

    Keeping my eyes peeled for mixmaster!

    shark

    Hey I recently got 2 Sharkticon packs from Wal-Mart in Decatur, there is a 3rd that I did not have the cash for at the time, but now I do, is anyone close enough to pick this up and mail it to me?

    I went there the other day since I was close to there for another reason, but it is alot of gas to drive back just for the one pack.

    Thanks

    t

    Target at Jones Valley had 2 of each new Titanium.

    Target in Huntsville, on University had one of each Titanium.

    Walmart had 4-5 Fallens, the first time I have seen them.

    Hampton Cove Wal-Mart has one Mudflap legends class left, he seems to be the hardest to find.

    Walmart in madison had a single wheelie and several soundwaves. Trying to convince myself to go hit huntsville kmart for human alliance bumblebee, but I have a feeling it'll be a wasted trip.
