    The Walgreens on Antioch in Overland Park has the RotF wave 1 scouts for $10.99 each. I couldn't help myself and had to buy a couple of them.

    $10.99 for scouts? If I was eating, I would have choked on my food. Scouts have to be less than $10 before I would even consider buying them. Although I suppose Walgreens is probably the only option for those right now.

    wichita area has ROTF scout figs at Walgreens which, yes the price is crazy, but the way the WAG prices stuff it's gonna be that for all ROTF figs simply because they only have one SKU (bar code listing) for those type of figs. I used to work there and the only reason they are out is because they don't direct ship the walgreens, the boxes get sent to a DC and them sorted into totes and the totes get sent to the stores. I'll tell you though Ransack is SOOOO WORTH IT!! HE is soo cool as a Bi plane and if I can get them before anyone else I'll be a happy panda to read the bios and get a sneak peak into some stuff on the movie I'm VERY happy, plus Dirt boss looks just like the dirt boss from animated!! My kid got a kick out of that

    Not really a toy sighting, but the Target on 151st in Overland Park just put out their movie tie-ins, including the novel.

    Just got back from a trip to dillions at Harry and webb rd. and what did I find... the new TF m&m bags and snickers bags that have the special edition yellow filling... yummmm

    The m&m packs each have 2 different charaters on the packs plain has optimus and bumblebee, peanut has Starsrceam and Megatron and the new flavor which I didn't find and was mad about is strawberry peanutbutter and has the m&m guys dressed up like skids and mudflap

    went to local WM at kellogg and greenwich at 12am and the dept manager let me go through the boxes with her and I got first pick!!!! We didn't get a great many but I got my little one all 3 gravity bots (Starscream, BB, and OP) I got scout knock out and Rollbar, Deluxes Sideswipe, Sideways, BB, Rampage, Legaends Jetfire and springer and I called it good from there I was already over my budget LOL They had breakaway delux but passed and opted for rampage.... no sign of the twins or soundwave, hope we get them next round!!

    ALso the west kellogg walmart didn't have as big a section BUT did have the last set of robot heros (the one with OP) that I needed!!

    Happy hunting all!!!!

    Currently looking for ROTF Voyager class The Fallen in the Wichita area, let me know if you guys come across any.

    Do you mean the Wal-Mart on North Rock, or the Target at 21st & Greenwich?

    The Toys R Us by the Oak Park Mall put out their huge display. They had both previews and all of Wave 1, with a few Wave 2 deluxes. Also wave 1 and 2 of Robot Replicas and Wave 1 and 2 with of Voyagers. I nearly wet my pants when I found one box of wave 3 Voyagers! Picked up RR Skids and Jetfire (both of which are good figures) and the only Voyager Mixmaster, who is nothing short of awesome.

    Went to Wal-Mart on 151st and they had a TON of Wave 1, but that's about it, except for lots of new Animated stuff. If anyone is able to find Deluxe Skids or Chromia, please let me know! :)

    forgot to post yesterday. Went to TRU and found a deluxe Skids, Chromia, Wheelie! Also found Gravity bots mudflap and sideswipe, voyager mixmaster and a Optimus keychain that looks like he's combined with jetfire (my best guess) I'm not taking that out of the pack because the packaging has a error, instead of OPs face on it it has Bumblebees! When we left there was only one more mixmaster and a couple skids and I think a chromia hidden in the pile right up front, my hubby was the one that found them hiding, i'm so tiny it was on a high peg he was looking at!

    Happy hunting all!!
