    Buddy, our TRU just removed all the Generations tags and replaced every size class with DOTM Optimus Helmets and CV Maximus toys...

    That should give you an idea of how SOL collectors are around here right now LOL!

    @PaleHorse

    Wow. that's mindboggling. Honeslty though, i haven't had much bad luck up here in Morgantown. Granted it took a while for Thundertron to get onto the shelves here (i ordered him online in the late fall assuming i wouldnt see him for a while on shelves), but thats really the only time there's been a delay with seeing new stuff on the pegs at either Walmart or the Target by me. Granted, one walmart (the one much further away from where i live in town when compared to the other one) had a bevy of the FoC wave 2 deluxes and the closer of the two walmarts never saw that stuff, but that may just come with that first walmart being closer to the highway or something

    I had to go to Huntington today so I thought I'd look around while I was down there. I stopped at the Walmart on the way from Huntington to Barbersville, by the police station. I finally found FoC Kickback and bought him, there was just one. He is awesome!!! Then I decided to skip Target and the Barbersville mall Wal-Mart but stop at TRU. I was hoping they might have some of the Chinese generations I missed out on, wishful think I know. No luck. But I did find BH Voyager Shockwave, I didn't think we would see him til mid to end of April. There was just one and I bought him and he is awesome!!! You guys should get him if you see him.

    @Primal Prime oh believe me, that's my plan. good to hear Shocky was on the shelf there in the Charleston/Huntington area. hopefully that means he's on the shelves when i get back to Morgantown Saturday.

    still nothing new on the pegs up here. beginning to see what you all meant by WV not getting certain waves. I managed to score Prime Shockwave off a fellow youtube reviewer, now i'm just on the prowl for Hungurrr.

    That said, in a case of "i haz dumb" i picked up microchangers combiners Predaking and Devastator from Target today. To explain the "i haz dumb," i had assumed the microchanger combiners were TRU only releases (not in the exclusive sense but yea). that said, i did see all 4 of them (the above 2 and Bruticus and Superion) today. I've only built Predaking thus far. Really like him. Devastator looks great too, just havent built him yet cause i wanna film something for him like i did for Predaking.

    Went Kmart in Kanawha City and found BH Legion Hungar. He is cool but mine falls over in robot mode cause of loose ankles/heads. So I have him in dragon mode now. Hopefully it won't be a problem when we get the rest for the combiner.

    This threads been kinda dead lol. Not too surprising though. I was out for the first time in a while yesterday at Southridge Target they had Beast Hunters deluxe Smokescreen and Voyager Predaking. They also had all of the FoC data disks.

    I haven't seen anything newer that BH wave 2 singles and CV BH Wave 2 Commanders and Legions in the Eastern Panhandle. No BH Shockwaves or Voyager Generations past Soundwave. I usually have better luck in MD or VA.

    Barboursville Target had a lone Generations Blitzwing last Saturday so they're hitting WV. I left it alone since I preordered from BBTS.

    Yep. Just saw a lone pair of Blitzwing and Springer at the Martinsburg Target. Already got what I needed in MD, so I left them too for someone else.

    The Springer and Blitzwing I saw Thursday at the Martinsburg Target were still there as of this morning. I also just saw BH Voyager Shockwave at the Martinsburg Kmart. First time I have seen that figure at retail. They had 2 as of 20 minutes ago.

    So funny thing happened today. I went to TRU at Southridge today and saw that they got in the last wave of Prid Deluxes and Voyagers. So I go looking at the voyagers and I find Skyquake there. There was just one and I of course bought it. I didn't think he was being released at big retail stores so it was a nice surprise.

    Wow. I wish I could go there and get those but it's 5 hours from here.

    In the Charleston area even non fans are after these because of the 30th anniversary label. Ran into a guy talking about it the other day who told me he was looking for "Striker, the green one, who's going for more on the internet", LOL!
