    Hey has anyone found the mutagen ooze turtles at their TRU I really need some.

    Haven't seen any new TF either seems WM and Target post Christmas toy strategy is to shove all the old stuff into random spaces and not get any new stock at all.

    I forgot to do this earlier. So I checked the Alabaster Target and Wally World yesterday afternoon and both had very little TFs on the shelf with Walmart having literally nothing on the pegs for deluxes. I did manage to finally find a Metalhead. Unfortunately he has smudges all over him from the glue that should have attached his shell to his back but didn't so I had to reglue it back on in addition to a couple other defects. I might been looking for a second, and hopefully nicer one in the near future. Back on topic though, is there anywhere in the Montevallo, Alabaster, Caleara area that has new waves? I'm dying to get my hands on Grimlock, Kickback, and maybe one of the tape bots.

    I have seen the Mutagen ooze turtles both at TRU and Walmart.You may want to try Target as well.As for the FOC Grimlock we will never see that.The stores in my area are not cool enough to get that thing in.

    If anybody in the Huntsville area is still looking for them, I saw a couple FoC Swindle's and FoC Brawl's at the University Dr. Wal-Mart today.

    Mobile TRU still has three FoC Soundwaves and one Soundblaster. They have Beast Hunters Deluxe Wave 1. They have also been getting in some wave 3 deluxe FoC. I guess they restocked between Wednesday and today because Kickback and Ultra Magnus were there when they were missing Wednesday. Sideswipe is also there. No sign of Starscream. They also have two Thundertrons.

    Of course there are also a ton of MP Thundercrackers and no Primes.

    TRU in Hoover has nothing but 1 first edition bulkhead and a rack of disc minions for sound wave. Walmart in Hoover has less than nothing. Shitload of Voyager stars creams and RANDOM legions.

    Gadsden WM literally only has Vortex for the whole peg section of transformers.

    Anyone else noticed this is the worst the toy section has ever looked everywhere for multiple lines?

    Transformers both Prime and Generations
    TMNT

    I mean seriously,Some Walmarts were pathetic during the holiday season.

    It's like this every January though. This time of year just sucks a big one for TF collecting. Unless you don't mind paying TRU's jacked up prices. Seriously, $30 for a PRID voyager? To paraphrase Sam from TF1, are they on drugs?
