    Yeah, that Belmont is still there. Man, good memories @ that store. Thats where I bought several G1 TFs back in the 80's...thanks to my grandmother always taking me birthday shopping there.

    I'm finding newer stuff @ Kohl's too over the likes of Wal-Mart & Target. I started picking up some GIJoe stuff again just to feed my toy needs while the TFs have been scarce!

    Finally found some new TF stuff @ the Wal-Mart on HWY 49 & I-485 in Charlotte. They had one Mirage, PLB packaging Omega Supreme (3 or so) and new Universe Fireflight & Nemesis Strika.

    I didn't buy any of them (opted for a Tunnel Rat/Electric EEL GIJoe 2 pk instead), but Fireflight was tempting.

    Speaking of Mirage, if anyone is interested in my MIB Mirage please let me know. This figure is cool, he just doesn't do much for me. In fact, I want to let all of my Superlink items go...Blast Arm, Aerial, Iron Tread & Shockwave.

    Not sure when they moved. It was this summer I believe, but don't hold me to it. I've only been to the new store twice! I wish they were still in their old store, it was a little closer for me! heeheehee

    The new place is in a little shopping center and they have a sign that says comics and toys. No store name. You have to go downstairs and they share the downstairs area with a Great Clips. It's a nice store though. Better than the old one I think. But when you're looking for it, if you blink you will miss it!

    Found Alternators Hound and Dead End, as well as Energon Cliffjumper, Omega Supreme, and newly packaged omnicons at the Wal-Mart in Kernersville.

    I happened to pick up one Hound, and the last Dead End, but there were 2-3 Hound's left.

    Monroe Wal-Mart:

    Alt Dead End
    Alt Meister
    Alt Tracks 2x
    Shockblast
    Cliffjumper


    I got 1 Tracks, Meister & Dead End. I left the rest for you guys! :D  :thumb :

    I must say, I do NOT like the new packaging for the Alternators. The box can get damaged too easily, and there is more potential for the figure itself to get damaged!
