    I went to the WS Target with the 20th Ann. Optimus DCPI#

    Finally picked up an Alt. Sideswipe today at the Target in Huntersville. They also had a few Wave 5 of the Marvel Legends figures if anyone is interested. Anyone find any Wave 2 Energon or 20th Anniversary Prime yet?

    I sure wish whoever is deciding that Greensboro (wendover area) doesn't get CRAP will finally up and DIE... because the Target and Wal-Mart haven't had crap in ages... SSDD

    not found one damned sideswipe or anything remotely close to "new"

    When my wife was in college I always had luck at the new Target (not new anymore) on Lawndale besides that old Mill. I found all the new Armada stuff there way before it came to Charlotte. Another good place to look in Greensboro is ACME Comics on Lawndale. His stuff is a couple bucks more that target but he seems to get them before any of the stores. But I have to say Greensboro's Toys R Us sux compared to the one close to me.

    The thing is... I live in Kernersville and work right off of the airport exit... so I never go over that way... have no clue where that is. Bridford is about the only place I ever get a chance to look during lunch break from work

    ACME Comics is where I got my Sideswipe.....They found it up in Virginia and got me one because I told them to be on the look out for me one about a month ago....You're right though. Greensboro is the always the last place on the planet to get the new stuff. And forget the Battleground Walmart. That place is like a third world country bazzar.

    20th Anniversary Prime found at the Target on Bridford in Greensboro, unfortunately I picked up the last one on the shelf... still no Energon Wave 2 though.

    Oh, and the tin can spychangers are in mass stock there as well.

    Big Kmart on Hwy 51 in Pineville (across from Carolina Place Mall) has ONE Landmine.


    Wal-Mart at the Arboretum on Hwy 51 in Charlotte/Pineville has the Optimus Prime/Ultra Magnus Universe spychangers.

    Still no sign of 20th Prime or any other W2 Energon figs.
