TRU in Pineville restocked Dirge and had plenty to go around. A few Rodimus Prime's as well. K-Mart in Pineville had several King Atlas' last night too. Bought him, opened him up late last night only to see in Sunday's paper this morning that all TFs are 20% off this week!

That K-Mart also actually had the TF Energon contest set-up. Like most stores that I've heard of, they too had the large Optimus cardboard stand-up out on the sales floor. Its already suffered some damage too. I've entered the contest about 50 times now so here's hoping that stand-up will be going home w/ me soon!

Did they have any more Galvatrons? I originally passed on him, but for $15 that ain't a bad deal at all.

Had a friend pick mine up since she lives alot closer to me, so I really don't know. I will ask though!!

My friend said she thinks she got the last Galvatron! Of course she isn't a TF fan so there is a chance she could possibly be wrong. I haven't gotten mine yet either, so the TF she bought might not even be Galvatron!! LMAO Gawd I hope so though! I gave her a picture!

Monroe Wal-Mart on Hwy. 74 had ONE Arcee and One Insecticon.
They may have had more but I didn't see them. I bought Arcee, left Insecticon there. He looks better than the pix on the web. He doesn't have yellow legs, he has black/dark gray legs, maybe brown...I don't really remember exactly what color it is.

Arcee kicks ass. Very simple transformation with only 4 steps in the instructions. The chick has heels!!

fayetteville, nc kaybee toys had emergency team minicon repaints @ $5 a pack, and the toys r us there had powerlinx and regular superpants prime @ $20. fayetteville TRU also has several of the Cobra Infantry 6 packs for anyone interested.

Greensboro TRU - nothing new. Greensboro Target - had two Divebomb variants w/ the single blade. Greensboro KMart has Star Wars figs @ $2.50. They had a bunch of attack droids that somebody might be interested in army building for cheap.

And lastly, Walmart in Wilkesboro, NC has Arcee & Insecticon. As with Optimus Maximus, i grabbed an Arcee (two, actually), and left Insecticon.

Insecticon is pretty large compared to the other guys in his size class.

oh yeah, i scored a Defensor KO set for $5 in a clearanced Easter basket @ the Fayetteville KMart.
