    I have been finding some of the TF Kreo Battle Changers at Marshalls this week. I got Hound and Shockwave and left a Grimlock at the Marshalls off 290/Hollister this past Wednesda. Today, I got the Autobot and Soundwave pack and left 2 Hounds and 1 Grimlock at the Marshalls in Tomball. I also saw the below and left them at the Marshalls at Willowbrook (1960/249):

    snagged one of the Starscreams at Parmer TRU via online order, hope everyone else can have the same good luck soon, loving this guy. can't wait to score the other seekers.
    also nice to see a fellow RGV native! added you, I'm in Austin these days but originally from Weslaco.


    spotted another Groove at Parmer TRU as well as Megatronus and what I assume is the new big RID Optimus, had some newly colored RID Bees and Sideswipes too.

    What's the consensus on Wave 4? I spotted a Prowl at one out of three Targets last night and really regret not getting it. In the same vein, Target restocks Tuesday right?

    I enjoy them, but Sunstreaker is my least favorite just because of the mold. The crotch is silly.

    I'm sorry, I meant their distribution in stores at the moment. Thanks for the input though! I am totally skipping Sunstreaker for Wheeljack.

    As a frustrated San Antonian trying to get a TRU MP Starscream, I checked their site-to store option which has no stock in any of the SA stores. I went as far as looking up and trying zip codes for Dallas, Houston, Austin, Lubbock, & Laredo, at random, and had no luck at all.

    There were a few listed for Tyler, TX but are now gone. I tried asking their rep during a TRU "chat" if one from Tyler could be shipped to SA. I just thought I'd give it a try, since I'm not sure they'd do it, but Tyler apparently ran out too. Perhaps once the October release date hits, more will be available.

    I really want a non-scalper/EBAY-priced, non-$200.00/Takara-priced , MP Starscream. :(

    Nope, that's in the morning on a truck day, which can vary per store.

    and you deserve one bud! TRU is completely screwy about this, while its obvious to us how many folks would probably want this we're screwed as usual thanks to poor distribution. If you don't have a preorder in yet your best bet (unfortunately) is gonna be haunting that dumb pick-up in store thing, I did the same over the course of a week or so and got lucky. other than that networking with local dudes and here should hopefully net one.
