    Sounds like a plan for tomorrow morning. I'm a teacher, so I have the day off for spring break.

    Any other good stores in the area?

    Pretty much the standard fair you'd find in your area & Albany. Utica area has 2 Walmarts, a Target and a TRU.

    A velocitron set and sky shadow. Hartford tru and target are great.

    The bowtie clusterfuck of like 5 routes (8, 5, 12, and others) around the bridge was a pain though

    I used to go out that way a few times a year when I worked loss prevention for target. I used to get lost every time. It's like the Bermuda Triangle. My GPS used to go all out of wack.

    LOL. It's a pain alright, especially if you're unfamiliar with the area. Glad you were able to find everything you needed!

    There is 1x Sky Shadow. 4x Broadside at Bronx Terminal Target near Yankee stadium. SS is ringing up a $1 more but they price match. I have not tried the TRU price match of $12.99 WIth Broadside since I have it already

    Did a search for Titans Return on Walmarts site this morning. Wave 4 Deluxes show up via 3rd Party for $24.97, so it's usually a week before they actually come down to regular retail. I also noticed Hot Rod listed for $5, but out of stock!

    Yeah. There's someone on eBay selling them for $125 / entire wave (where I ordered it).

    Walgreens around here have them, but it's like one figure per store. The one near my work had just Quake. I had someone check the back and there was nothing. They checked the computer and said they received one unit. Their peg fits 3 figures and they part out the cases between multiple stores to make sure its 3 figures, no more, no less. I didn't check the other local Walgreens because I wasn't going to hit 7 or 8 stores to find 3 out of 5 figures.

    I gave my son Gnaw today to open. What a great little figure. I normally don't troop build, but this little guy may be tough to pass up if I see more.

    Random question, do you guys think we will get a new g1 looking jazz anytime soon? He is one of the few missing characters for me and I really don't want to drop eBay money on the last release.

    id go ebay. His best shot at getting a modern figure was the two combiner wars waves of autobot retools.

    He's not a huge figure in the comics anymore either. IDW is guiding some of the new releases (look at Nautica's inclusion in velocitron)

    South Setauket Target has 4 Broadsides, 3 Gnaws, 1 Kickback, and they put out a case of movie deluxes. Took one Barricade and left the rest.

    Yes some targets have put out their wave one movie deluxes.

    The planogram it dated April 30th and the figures ring up right now not blocked.

    The bad news is each store only got one case and half the Long Island stores sold there's already.
