    Gamestop may be your best bet considering they've been receiving solid cases of Rey and solid cases of DJ. I'd assume Rex will show up in the same fashion.

    Is that true? Food 4 Less carries toys?

    I *think* what they said was that they don’t see toys there, even though people in other states see them at Kroger. I don’t think it’s correct that Food 4 Less is the same as Kroger, having been to both...

    According to Wikipedia, Kroger does indeed own Food 4 Less.

    They also own Ralph's, Fred Meyer, and a few other chains, none of which are receiving shipments of the Studio Series yet. So ownership means nothing in this case.

    Yeah, I think they’re totally different store formats too. Food 4 Less is more of a discount/bulk food retailer while Kroger is more like the more recent/bigger Safeway stores.

    Stopped at North Highlands Walmart around 5:30 today and as I was walking down the toy aisle I saw a guy grab Hungurr and a deluxe too, either Rippersnapper or Dreadwing, couldn't tell. If you are a fellow member here, hello. There was an Elita 1 left but nothing else of note.
    Earlier today Natomas Target had leader Rodimus and Optimus but that was all to note.

    It pains me that Highland is 20 minutes away and North Highlands is 7 hours away. Wave 2 still hasn’t hit Targets in the SB and Riverside counties from what I’ve seen.

    I've been waiting for Wave 2 to hit. Even though I'm satisfied I found Optimus, I'm still disappointed I haven't found my Roadtrap nor my Dinobots. I'm getting really impatient and nervous for April.

    Looks real to me. But that price is absurd...

    Found a single Roadtrap at the Menifee Target and 2 Battleslashs at the Temecula Target. No other sign of Wave 2 out of 3 Targets so these are probably returns.

    Distribution is really spotty. I've got Hun-gurrr, Elita, Ripperesnapper, Snarl, and Sludge, but haven't seen Blackwing, Moonracer, Battletrap, or any of the new Prime Masters. I have seen Tailgate a couple of times, so I know they are out there. Frustrating.

    The Walmarts nearest me seem to all be sucking at once, with one possible exception: The Orangevale Walmart had Hun-gurrr and Elita last night, but nothing else of note.

    Anyone see a Cybertron (Primus) figure on clearance in any ToysRUs that are closing soon in the LA/OC area? I want to get one

    Haven't seen it in person the last few days but the La Cienega TRU has had several Primuses for months, so they would likely be getting clearanced at some point soon.

    So I was TRU Victorville this morning before opening and there was a huge crowd there. I went in to look for some things but didnt find any thing that I was looking for except for the 9.99 Geoffrey plush I wanted to get for my nephew. They had some,but the Manager wouldnt sell it to me cause they are giving their last few away for kids with Birthdays supposedly as that is what the Manger said and they gave me hard time when I wanted to purchase it.

    So if anyone happens to be at a TRU here before they close and can get one for me,Id very much appreciate it.
