    Clearwater Walmart looks like a tornado went through the toy aisle.

    Waterford Lakes Super Target
    2 Siege Megatrons
    1 Seige Optimus (I don't care about packaging so I grabbed the one with the crushed box, but one of the Megatrons boxes is in pretty rough shape. Figure looks to be fine.)

    lots of BotBots 5 and 8(?) packs.

    Edit: Hmm, today's report posted but invisible awaiting moderator approval. Did I do something wrong? :confused:

    This post is visible, at least; what happens if you reformat the update and edit it in?

    When I went to the Viera SuperTarget today (so, keep in mind, these details may not be entirely accurate now), they had 2 each of Siege OP and Megatron, a Shockwave, and, if anyone cares, Black Series Archive IG-88, Bossk, and Pilot Luke.

    I haven't been there yet but there's a store called Facebook called Action Toys Jacksonville that seems like they might. I know they carry regular vintage Transformers. Mythical Mountain is your other good bet.

    Acme Superstore in the northern Orlando area just got a bunch of 3P and Botcon stuff in as part of a huge TF restock. Gods and Monsters on International Drive may have some as well.

    Is Acme still owned by Terry/Terry’s family? They have some great stuff but I can’t give money to that place if it goes to him, even indirectly.

    I think they've changed ownership within the last year or so, the people running it are new.

    North Tampa Update:

    University Target (Bruce B Downs near Fletcher Ave) had:

    1 x SIEGE Optimus Prime
    1
    x SIEGE Megatron

    Also some asshat switched a SS Bumblebee with SIEGE Hound.

    (I bought 1 of Op/Megatron leaving 1 of each.)

    I got the last Siege Megs at Waterford Lakes Target yesterday but returned it today. The head cracked in half when I turned it. I like the figure as it's a smaller but more poseable take on CW Megatron but he's just about to hit wide release so I'm not going to stay beholden to a broken one.

    ... so basically, the store is still Terry’s.

    Ugh. I can’t do it. The prices could be spectacular; I’m not giving that killer a dime. Toys aren’t worth my conscience. What a mess..
