    Sorry to hear that. When I saw Megs and Op in store, they pretty much screamed crappiness and I couldn't get myself to buy them... :(

    A week ago, I found Quake at Walgreens off Eldridge/Briar Forest in Houston. Then a few days ago, I found Topspin & Krok (2 of them) at Walgreens up north near 290 in Houston. I have an extra Krok for trade. Looking for X-Men Legends Cyclops, TR Kup & TR Perceptor. Thanks.

    First of all, I hope that all my fellow Texans are safe from the severe weather & tornadoes that hit the Alamo City & areas northward last night. In the past, I've supported the Red Cross for disasters in other parts of the country, but sadly this help is now needed by our own neighbors.

    I myself was blessed & had only some minor tree branches to clear from our yard & a bit of a leak in my living room, but no major damage, though we lost power a couple of times during the worst of the storm. The danger hit close to home this time, but I am grateful no one was seriously hurt or killed.

    It is jarring for me as I worked in that North part of town for over a decade & could never imagine a tornado striking there. It must be awful for those with tree-smashed cars or roofless homes. The weather is now clearing, so I hope that the clean-up & repair process can begin.







    Toy Sightings, in comparison to what some Texans have been going through, are unimportant by far, but they may provide a welcome distraction from recent events. A family & friends at one's side, a roof over one's head, some clothes on your back, & a good meal in your belly are the bare essentials of life. Collectibles are a bit of icing on the cake, & a much appreciated luxury to sweeten a bitter hardship.

    ...So, in that vein, I'll get the ball rolling by stating that the reveals at Toy Fair were awesome, & by asking if there has been any sign of the latest TR Deluxe wave showing up in San Antonio? I'd like to get Perceptor, Kup, TopSpin in-store if at all possible. BBTS doesn't even have a pre-order up yet & they're my usual alternative since distribution here is so predictably hit-or-miss at the big-box-stores since forever.

    Any TF sighting or bit of good news is welcomed after last night's tempest, & again, I hope that everyone is all right.

    I had a third sighting yesterday of a wave 4 figure at Walgreens in Houston. For anyone who needs, I hid a Quake behind the tall Ninja Turtle figure at the location off Dairy Ashford/Memorial in Houston. Good luck! I already got one last week at the Eldridge/Briar Forest store and it is an awesome paint scheme.

    Haha. I'm not searching for this figure, but you, sir, are a champ! If anyone wants it, I'm not taking it. Maybe I'll buy one if I spot one randomly. The colors are very nice though.

    As of 2pm the Yale St. Walmart only had two Megatrons. Got to say he looks horrible - terrible face sculpt and whose bright idea was it to put those really tacky looking silver stickers on his chest?!?

    I ended up only picking up one of the two Gnaws they had.

    YEAHHHH. I ended up buying Optimus (which turned out to be a bust) because Megatron's chest stickers looked so bad. How long are those going to last anyways?

    Cedar Hill Target has one each of voyager Megatron and Optimus. Also saw titan masters Sawback, Fangry & Overboard. Still no deluxes...not sure if that means they're being bought or just not stocked.

    Quick look around my area in far west S.A. Walgreens on Ellison/Potranco had several wave 1 and 2 Deluxe figures, 2-3 Brainstorms too. No wave 3. HEB Plus up the street had same wave 1 deluxe peg warmers(Scrourge and Blurr. They did have a few of the titan masters with Sawback and Fangry being the newest ones.
