    Ironically just found these at the TRU in Clive. The Mighty Muggs Movie Optimus and Movie Bumblebee from that wave must have already been purchased. None left.

    They had one of each of newest wave of ROTF Legends; Wheelie, Soundwave, Sideswipe, and Optimus Prime in store (I bought the Wheelie & Soundwave). Of the ROTF Nest Deluxes they had about a half a dozen of each Dirge, Armorhide, Bumblebee and Mudflap.

    If anyone sees a ROTF Bludgeon around Des Moines, let me know. I'd be interested!

    I checked all of the K-mart, Target, Toys R Us, and Walmarts in the QC area and no sign of Bludgeon or any friggin' Wii Remotes.

    Only the Davenport Toys R Us even has NEST deluxes.

    Toys R Us in Davenport had the following when we were there earlier...

    -Bunch of Wave 7 (Armorhide, Dirge, et al.)
    -Four Universe Vector Prime
    -Four Universe Inferno
    -One Commander Cody Turbo Tank

    The Inferno's struck me as a surprise, but I figured I'd mention it for those interested ;)

    Scored an HA Barricade at the West Kimbery Wal-Mart in Davenport IA. None left now that I could see but if that store has them I'd be willing to bet the store on 53rd St. store has them too.

    It doesn't. Just came from there.

    HOWEVER!

    If anyone was interested in Supreme Devastator, but is put off by the $100 price tag, it is 60% off now.

    That's right. $40. That was my breaking point. I wanted one, but I wasn't about to drop a Franklin for him. Two Grants will suffice.

    Oh man, let me know how you like him... I could see myself spending the $40 if he's good

    I'd say he's worth $40. Definitely NOT worth $100. Surprisingly poseable for a figure that size, although his legs can't really support his body that nicely. Biggest complaint is the Mixmaster head always going off (seriously, why bother having a pull lever when I can just look at the thing and it'll talk?), but for a very impressive piece of plastic, it's pretty good.

    Honestly, I don't think I'll ever transform him. He just looks so good and menacing just like how my Optimus and Jetfire are more badass together than they are apart.

    And worst comes to worst, you could sell him in the Junkion Exchange for the price you paid for him.

    Not to keep this way off topic or anything but my big question is... How complex is he to transform? The more complicated the better. I love my HA figures and the deluxe twins (even though a lot of people seem to hate how fiddly they are). There's nothing I hate worse than buying a new TF and then getting home and finding out you tranform it in like 3 steps.

    Yeah, it is pretty simple. Some of the limbs moreso than others (the Scavenger torso is the most involved, followed by probably the Hightower and Scrapper arms)

    A pretty huge Devastator for $40 was a good deal in my book :) . Now to remove the batteries from Mixmaster.

    EDIT: Holy crap...how did I forget?!

    MP Skywarps on Clearance for $20 at that Wal-Mart too. Probably all the rage I had about finding it for 1/3 of the price I paid made me forget.
