    As far as Rattraps they have been hitting here fairly regularly. I just saw some the other day at the Beaches Target. I don't remember if Mandarin Target restocked or not, but they are getting them in just keep checking.
    As for Skybyte, the Target in Saint Augustine got that wave in a few weeks ago as I posted earlier. I noticed a few stores finally emptied their Voyager inventory so Skybyte should be dropping relatively soon.
    Also, if anyone finds a 4" Link from World of Nintendo PM me. I'm looking for one but al the Targets seem to be sold out and slow to restock.

    Nice to know that wave finally showed up in the area. Seems like it 'a been everywhere but here. How is he out of the box? I still haven't opened mine. Really want to get a G1 Roadbuster to go with him.

    Just be careful with Roadbuster's shoulders, mine's left shoulder is real wobbly, and I'm afraid that it might break just from simple transforming him too often.

    Hey hobbyjay, you might be in luck. I am scoring an armor set for my old roadbuster. I have 5 including Mugen Calibur. He's about a C8 and armorless, but I'm heading to my friends next week to check out the lot he bought. Pretty sure the armor was in the lot. He does come with a killer box though.

    Besides that. I need to get your contact info. We hit the same spots and for the same things here in Melbourne and north and south. I noticed the owner of 3 kings, the dad, seems to be clearing up local stock of masterpieces and eBay worthy pieces. The first waves that hit anyway. The great thing about Melbourne is masterpieces are plentiful here. But I can send you a text or vice versa when we find something. I make toys packaging from home for a living so my schedule is free to hit places when they open. You seem to hit further north. Anyway PM me and let me know.

    I had the same issue with mine. there is some flash on the inside of the joint. I trimmed it down a bit. It still feels tight but not so much I am afraid of breaking it. I also have some paint app issues as well....... Great toy but man this issues with the arms and paint suck.

    @BlueMeanie - Awesome. I'll PM you. The dad from 3 Kings is always on the hunt. They pull a lot of the good stuff out of the cases they get from Hasbro/Mattel for online orders/eBay. Still a cool store. Funny thing is that Monster High is their # 1 seller.

    "We can't sell these 1 step changers on their own, even at less than half off. Let's package them all together and throw in an exclusive for more than that. That'll move off the shelves!"

    There were six MP Prowls and three MP Sunstorms at Waterford Lakes Toys U yesterday morning. The entirwe Transformers section has been moved to a side wall near the bicycles. They were in the middle of a large reset featuring Star Wars and Marvel figures. Still looking for Voyager Slog if anybody in the Orlando area spots him.

    LOL - You would be surprised that I see some of these actually move. I started picking them up for my kid (3) and he loves them. Some are better than others, but all in all he has fun with them. They are not worth $10 a piece for sure... I like the Target set and will likely keep an eye for it when it goes on sale for him.
