    The Wal-Mart next to the interstate where the Knox TRU used to be has 2 Elita and 2 Hungur currently.

    Late to the comment but got a decent amount of TFs from Fanboy, at first it didn’t seem like there was much on the show floor but most of it was hidden.

    Got an Aveo Swerve of all blasted things.

    Peter Cullen seems really nice btw.

    $30 in good condition. Entirely reasonable. Was in a ziplock bag buried at the back of a booth.

    1 Cindersaur left at Turkey Creek Target. They had two and no other new figures. Clearance is starting on last knight stuff though. Dragon storm was down to 35$~ish.

    Edit: Forgot to mention because I was salty but after literally breaking down and placing an Amazon order yesterday I just saw two Blitzwings at the Ross next to the aforementioned Target.

    Be warned, the boxes are a little squished, and one of the two has some mild stressing on the left shoulder but they are in fact there, along with a Triggerhappy sitting by himself on an island portion of the toys section. Didn’t think to move him next to the wings.

    I thought so. Guy actually had a lot of nice third party and TFCC stuff at good prices. He apparently needed to move or something along those lines.

    Got Grotusque, combiner Smokescreen, Groove, and Mirage to go with Jazz for my Inferno combiner.

    Misfire and Aimless too. Guy basically had a booth with most of the figures from the past year and half. Apparently there was more on Friday (Titan Master Arcee for example) but I don’t know how much.

    Edit Again: What seems to be either 7 or 8 hun gur at Turkey Creek Walmart. Decent number of Elita as well.

    I found 1 Dragonstorm on clearance for $24.98 at the Bristol Target.

    I bought him for $24 off ebay a while back. I got a refund & a message from the seller saying the listing was a mistake/duplicate & the item actually sold the week before. I was really disappointed. But thanks to Target...:D

    No way I would pay more than $60 for that piece of junk. I'm waiting for Ollie's. Hasbro really blew it on that one. If they want to cheap out don't cheap out on a Titan class, go be cheap on that RID/Cyberverse kiddy garbage.

    To each their own...I've wanted one since I was little, and I like this version (I like the MMC Feral Rex better, but not going to spend $600 on him)...I'll enjoy it even more when I get the reprolabels instead of stock stickers

    If I like enough, he'll need to acquire a decent sword to

    Wow. Way to be a jerk to someone. He's excited about Predaking showing up, waiting eagerly and you are all like "what a piece of junk it sucks". You must be a blast at parties.

    Besides...I think he looks great. What is your big problem with him?

    I've been wanting to get the Feral Rex oversized KO but waited to see what Hasbro made. Now I'm going with the KO, IF I can ever save the money up.

    My problem is the same problem I've seen from most others. The combined mode is really the only mode. The robot & beast modes are horrible for such an expensive toy. Plus we have 3rd party versions that look amazing, Hasbro could have easily looked at Feral Rex & done better. My comment was attacking Hasbro. They are flat out gouging collectors. There is no way in hell that figure needs to be $160. Their out of control greed is pissing me off & totally ruining my hobby. (Not to mention their absolutely wonderful distribution:rolleyes: ) If I wanted to be paying stupid-ass prices I would collect Hot Toys or Soul Of Chogokin.

    I look at the Star Wars fandom boycotting the garbage Disney is making & I think "damn! I wish the Transformers fandom would do something similar with the cheap overpriced crap Hasbro has been putting out lately."

    Anyway, back on topic, hoping to find the new Prime Masters soon.
