    I doubt that Sunstorm will be flying off the shelves, not at $20 anyway.
    I think Coon Rapids Wal-Mart sold maybe one of them in the past week.
    No need to hurry.

    I still think Sunstorm, Ruination and the other exclusives are going to be some kind of Easter sale. $20 is artificially high. I think they will make it half off for a week, and 50% off of that would make even me reconsider it. I'm waiting.

    I noticed at Fridley Wal-mart, around in the usual TF shelf space, their 20th Anniversary Primes have a poster inside. I hadn't seen that before. I didn't see Ruination there yet, I think there's more in the back they haven't set up as of yesterday, including more Sunstorms.

    Anyone still looking for E-Magnus go to the Super Target on 494 and Rockford Rd/42nd Ave in Plymouth. I hid him behind some camping stoves on the top shelf of the camping isle.

    Good Luck!

    In other words, yes, Lord Megatron.

    I saw that and was hoping more of you guys have had any luck.

    What about the Transformers display? My Wal-Mart, which is a Supercenter, still doesn't have that display up!

    I found a Megatron on Saturday at the Wallmart in Willmar. I'm waiting for the Galvatron repaint so I passed it up. I'm having a tough time finding wave 2 basics.

    Bloomington Walmart had 6 Megatrons today. None were in the featured product section. One was in the next aisle in the regular TF section, and the other 5 were up on the overstock shelf on the opposite side of that same aisle.

    Maple Grove Wal-Mart (Or Mall-Mart as my little Girl calls it :)  ) had a mountain of Megatrons as well as 5 Universe Ruinations and there were 2 20th Primes in the overstock on the top of the normal stock area.

    Hutchinson Wal-Mart Supercenter has 5 Megatrons left! Plus the newest basics as well by the Power Ranger display. Looks like it's slowly changing over to Transformers.

    Do any of you local TC guys have an extra e-hobby Astrotrain you'd be willing the part with? MISB is what I am looking for. Of, if you know some place in town I might be able to buy one, that would be great. He's sold out everywhere and I am trying to avoid to high cost on Ebay. There are currently two of him on and one goes for about $71 shipped and the other over $80! Too rich for my blood when I know he can be had for around $50-$55.

    I'm also looking for Wave 5 HoC, specifically Megatron w/LB, Devastator, Omega Supreme, and Ratchet. Anyone seen these yet?

    Thanks.

    Adam

    If you can get up to St. Cloud the two Shopko's have had multiple HOC Wave 5 figures for quite a while...

    Anybody spotted Dirge yet??

    $70.00 isn't really a bad price when you consider it cost about $30 for Astrotrain and another $30 for shipping from E-hobby. He's worth $60. I'd say go for it. The seller seems to only be asking for the money to ship it. :ROCK

    Thanks for the St. Cloud tip for the HoC Wave 5. I drove up to the one just off of Hwy 10 this morning and was able to score a complete set of them. Well worth the two hour drive and back. Now I don't have to pay the scalper and/or even Joel's high prices. Huzzah!
