    TRU in Lincoln had FOC Soundwave and all the legends data discs. a few FE Bulkheads and all 5 FOC Brute bots as well.

    I'm hoping we start seeing skyquake soon, who all's looking for one? I'm more than happy to try and find some for others as well since I'm hunting for a couple myself.

    Hey kids. Dodge St. TRU has FoC Soundwave and data discs. No Soundblaster, and only two SWs left. Plenty of the discs though. Also a GDO Wheelie and Swerve.

    Target on 48th St. in Lincoln had a new box of Kreon micro-changers on the shelf yesterday evening. They were in the Lego/Megablox section, but didn't have a shelf tag yet.

    Anyone here buy and assemble focus bruticus. I haven't opened them yet just wondering if they were worth it or not. He was one of those whim buys.

    I got the Amazon G2 box set of Bruticus for Christmas. The individual figures are pretty good, but if I had to buy them myself, I wouldn't have wanted to pay full price for each of the individual figures. The box set was cheaper overall, but you have to deal with G2 colors. He's good for the first full-fledged combiner they've produced in a while, but I won't be displaying him in combined mode. The arms just look terrible.

    Finally got around to putting him together the other day, yes his arms are funky, stuck him in this position, Blast off looks somewhat better to me at least.

    Hey Nebraskans. Its been awhile. I think I'm back for good. I finally feel like I'm out of rough water.

    I just picked up swindle and plan on hunting down the rest. I've heard lot of negativity about Bruticus, but I think the fun of finding all the pieces will be worth it.
    I also snagged the last Soundwave at Oak view along with the discs. I really enjoy it.
    Has anyone seen an mp-10 recently?

    Haven't seen an MP-10 for a long time. There's a glut of TCs around though. I did see 2 Onslaughts at the Papio Walmart on Tuesday though if you want to check it out.

    Oh yeah, I can't go to a TRU without seeing a giant stack.
    I'd get one, but then I wold convince myself I need the others...

    I was at the papio Walmart around 2pm today, that's where I got swindle, didn't spot onslaught.

    I'm still having trouble grasping the idea of a 17 dollar deluxe.

    I'll keep my eyes open for you.

    .....and yeah, a $17 dollar deluxe is kind of a hard pill to swallow.

    Stopped through TRU in Lincoln this evening. They had two FOC Voyager Soundwaves, one Soundblaster. At least one each of the latest FOC Deluxe figures (Starscream, Kickback, Magnus, etc.). They also have the first wave of Prime Beast figures, with Bumblebee, Soundwave, Wheeljack, and the one beast figure.

    Not exactly Nebraska, but TRU in council bluffs had several beast hunters deluxes. They also had brawl and onslaught, which I picked up. First edition arcee and generations gears were also there, but not on my list.

    Thanks for the info, too. I think I will be passing on a lot of the Beast Hunters waves.

    Yeah, I'm not at all interested in any of this Beast Hunters crap. I may pick up Soundwave just for the Ravage. Right now I just want the new FOC Deluxes and the Voyager Grimlock and Blaster once they show up. Though I do love the timing by Hasbro on Beast Hunters. Opens my funds up for MP Soundwave and MP Minions, Takara/FP Bruticus and Hexatron.

    Grabbed FOC Kickback and Soundblaster at Dodge TRU this morning. They had a full case of FOC Deluxe's. I had grabbed the other Deluxe's from WalMart the other night, so I left the 2 Starscream's, 2 Magnus', 2 Sideswipe's and an Air Raid (I think that's the breakdown). $16 a pop for these things stings but luckily I had some Rewards coupons to use. And Kickback looks worth it. OH, and they also had the Bot Shots exclusive 5 packs. One of each set left after I grabbed mine. A bit steep at $22 a pop, but my sons and I are hooked on these things. LOL!

    If you're looking for Kickback, it might be worth a call or visit to CB or Oakview TRU's today.
