    Well, sadly this makes me feel a little bit better, but I honestly think it's more of a stock issue than anything.

    I thought with the 2 TRU stores closing it would maybe give the other stores more incentive to order more stuff but they only focus on what is immediately a hot item (Fortnite) and let the rest lay to waste.

    Also, I have 7 kids, and live in Wilkes-Barre, so I am always having to go to this immediate Walmart for something or another. I work overnights in Pittston, and usually will go there during my lunch bbreak.Every time I walk by the toy aisle it's usually a sad sight. By Happenstance alone, I should be running into more items to purchase, but seldom do.

    I was lucky enough to get Siege Soundwave and Starscream so that was a nice surprise, but thought I'd see Prime by now too. I caved and pre-ordered through Amazon.

    If I run into one before then, I'll just cancel my pre-order, but so much for Hasbro's Pulse's claim of "get it before it hits store shelves"

    Yeah, I used to enjoy seeing things in the store. Target is always picked clean now that TRU is out.

    I can't even bring myself to go to Scranton/Pittston anymore for this stuff. It's just depressing. On the bright side, I can put my money towards the BW Masterpieces that are coming out.

    I think SS Bumblebee Optimus is the only SS figure I want anymore. I bought the RotF Megatron and while he looks cool, transforming him all the panels keep falling off. They really don't care about quality anymore. It's depressing.

    When I left work at 1 pm yesterday, the Starscream was gone. Soundwave is still there.

    Chambersburg Target
    Lots of wave 1 stuff, nothing new.

    It looks like the Soundwave/Starscream wave of siege has saturated the area pretty good. I saw plenty of them at both Robinson target and Walmart. Studio series was a no show at both locations. By no show I mean zero. Not a single figure in any size class at either location.

    Hi guys, been a while but Siege got me hooked again.

    Cranberry Twp Walmart has 2 each of the Siege Leaders Shockwave and UM, and like 6 cases worth of SS Optimus and Rampage. 3 figures of each on the shelf, and three more boxes of them up on top of the aisle.

    I think that Jetfire has been there since the weekend. Was thinking of buying it, but I don't want to without the Optimus to combine with him. Good to know that those big dudes don't sell as quickly.

    I saw it there again this morning. Thought about picking it up but holding off for now.

    Glad to know it comes with an extra chest piece for Optimus, so I can skip over the ROTF SS OP and get the DOTM Leader OP and still have a compatible Jetfire for combination.

    I think if I get him I'd want to get them together. I think I'm holding off on the big bois for BW Masterpieces. I still have to get Dinobot and Megatron. Thanks to whomst'd mentioned Sideswipe being there though. I picked him up earlier and he is a breath of fresh air compaired to ROTF Megs who falls apart when I transform him. I did notice some of those disc joints already caused stress and broke part of it though, so I'm not really happy with the quality of these things, but since it's a desk toy, I'm not really that upset about it.

    I was going to go to the Four State Comicon in Hagerstown today, but plans changed. We ended up going out to York to the giant B.A.M.. I really wanted to go to the 'con, but was over-ruled.
    *sigh*
    What makes it worse is that of all the places we stopped (Chambersburg Walmart, Gettysburg Walmart, York Walmarts (the one by the old TrU and the one in the big plaza up past the mall), BAM and York Target, I didn't see a single new ANYTHING. Well, Chambersburg Target has SS Megatron and Jetfire and a single Siege Starscream, but aside from those it was a totally fruitless hunt. Bought Girl Scout cookies, so I guess that's something.

    Were they made with real Girl Scouts?

    Carnegie Walmart has one Soundwave and one Shockwave. One Studio Series Blackout. Otherwise, same as my last report.

    EDIT: just noticed that Cyberverse deluxes & 1-step prices were rolled back.
