    If you are looking for the leader class set of WFC - they are at the Von Karman store, they put them in an odd place, I saw them there today but not surprised that you couldn't find them
    They had one set sitting on the lego aisle, I think it was second shelf from the top, toward the middle/back of the aisle - it had a tag there so they purposely put them there and not in the transformer section

    Walmart does it’s reset next week. Some stores are putting the new stuff in fairly random spots, some are holding them back for the new set. I put ours out (DX and Voyagers) and they sold out immediately (only wanted Cog and Flywheels myself...) Already placed a manual order for more so union city should have them in again in the next week or so.

    My local Walmarts and Targets still dont have Siege yet which is a bummer cause I need to replace the OP and Shockwave I found last week,both are QC nightmares.

    Rocklin Target has siege leaders 2xUM and 1 SW. Also they have 2 of each Voyager Meg's and Prime. They do look better in person but I already have hegemon and mp10v so yeah passed on them and just grabbed shockwave since cw Magnus just looks cleaner

    Wow, thank you for the help, it was hard to find even with the picture. Unfortunately, when I got there at 11am earlier, it was already gone. Although it still shows up on brickseek so either someone moved it or has it on hold. It's so strange how the spot for it is there amongst the legos vs being with the TF section. I would have never thought to look there.

    It's ok though, I'm more interested in trying to get voyager prime and megs. Those should be showing up soon as they are in the system too.

    Appreciate you looking out!

    Picked up Siege Ultra Magnus and Shockwave from the Alhambra Target. They only had one of each, but they still have a Megatron and an Optimus Prime.
    They also have BotBots! Blind packs, 5-packs, and 8-packs.

    Employee 1:"Dude,there's another guy looking for Siege! That's the third one this week."
    Employee 2:"You're right,man. Let's just hide the new stuff and hope nobody notices."
    *TF collector shows up and sees both employees*
    Employee 1:"Crap! He spotted us! Act natural."
    TF fan:"Hi. I have these DPCIs for Ultra Magnus and Shockwave. Can you find these in the back for me?"
    Employee 1:"Sorry,we're sold out."
    TF fan:"Oh,okay. Thanks anyway." *wanders off*
    Employee 2:"That was close. Can I buy a couple for myself now?"
    Employee 1:"Shh! Someone will hear you!"

    Employees at Target aren’t buying Transformers and no one other than us are buying $50 Leaders.

    The Voyagers case is 1x Prime and 1x Megs. The Leader case is 1x Magnus and 1x Shockwave. Your competition is right here in the forums.

    My Magnus has a severe stress mark on the inside of one of the hinges in the head/apron piece. Looks like someone chubbed up the pin placement, but it still works fine.
