    Macedonia Walmart has Siege Wave 2 deluxes. 1 Chromia is on the pegs, 1 Prowl and 1 Ironhide are hanging out way on the top shelf for some reason. I got the only Sixgun. Handful of reissue Primes at $50.

    They have pretty much nothing else. Most of the shelf stickers have the "we're out of stock" tags on them.

    At the one we went to it was almost always Friday. It's changed recently so we can't do it anymore. :p 

    Also, Fairlawn Walmart had 2x Siege Chromia and 1 Ironhide. I bought Hide and 1 Chromia. Sixgun and Prowl were gone

    Aww, man. I never thought to run out to the Macedonia area. Ah, well. I'm glad it went to a fellow collector and not a scalper.

    Stopped at the Lancaster Walmart today. One SS Crankcase and three Dropkicks. That was their entire selection. I've never seen it so bare.

    Target on the other hand was quite stocked. Two Siege Shockwaves, three UMs, one SS Leader Megs and a handful of voyager Megs and Screamer. One each of Siege Prime and Megatron. Nothing there that I wanted/didn't already have, but nice to see the shelves full for once.

    That Walmart never has anything. I was amazed to find them. It's on my way home and takes 5 minutes for me to check. Otherwise I'd never go out of your way to check that one.

    If you aren't afraid of pushing a pin out, the joint that is causing issues can be disassembled and rounded off to prevent the stress on the thin plastic holding it. That's what I did with mine after it cracked, and haven't had any issues since. 20190302_210709.jpg

    That pin is the one that needs to be pushed out, and from that side. Once it is out, the black plastic can be rounded off with a knife and file. It never needed that fake ratchet anyway.

    Wave 2 Siege Deluxes at the Walmart on Miller Lane in North Dayton. Also have the Sideswipe and Barricade SS wave. Xenia Walmart has Siege wave 2 Deluxes also, as well as two cases of SS Leader Jetfire and Megatron.

    &

    Haw! Wish I'd seen this sooner... Went to all mentioned above BUT Lewis Center, and bare as a forest in a desert.

    Dang, they's some empty Walmarts.

    And no one prepared me for how friggin big this place is. Driving from Dublin to Hilliard on 70, in the rain was mucho fun. (This is heavy sarcasm.

    The Meijer near the Walmart and Bdubs in Hilliard was a bust, too. Unless you're looking for 05 SS Optimus...

    Hot dang, this place is enormous and I haven't even gone into Columbus proper, yet. Woo...

    So, Brickseek was right. Still not going into Whitehall, though. Heck no. *shudders* I hear enough about it on Dave & Jimmy/The Morning Zoo and the news. I'mma keep my butt out of there...

    I laughed when I saw Starscream spider-wrapped in person. Are they actually getting stolen??

    Could be worse, could be Philly where they keep them behind glass...
