    Yeah, just one. Looked like he was packed in with another Shockwave.

    It's not actually a "city" city. Just more buildings than farms. All of NC is like that with their "cities". No fun shops down here.

    Acme Comics Presents for Greensboro, nearby in Winston-Salem is Ssalefish Comics and Toys (yes this is spelled correctly)

    Like any specialty/vintage shops they're hit or miss on selection, but I've found rad stuff at both as both owners are serious longtime TF fans. Got a Ceiji red foot Optimus at Ssalefish back in January! Anyway those are the ones I know of but I live 100 miles east in Raleigh, so residents might have more suggestions for you.

    Like someone else mentioned, Acme Comics on Lawndale has a lot of Transformers, even quite a bit of third party and new stuff. Ssalefish in Winston and Greensboro are ok but they price their stuff a little insane sometimes but occasionally you can find a deal at them. Acme is truly the best bet though. The guy to talk to about the Transformers at Acme is Jermaine.

    He's street dated at Target. I know they had him at the Southpoint location.

    Walmart in Greensboro (I don't know if there's more than one yet, but it's the one on Battleground) had all of Wave 2 Siege deluxes - I nabbed Ironhide. Looked like only one of each, but I didn't delve too deep - I just had to figure out which one I wanted most.

    Edit: Also, in Greensboro, Target on New Garden Rd. had 1 Prowl and 1 Chromia. Chromia is the only one left.

    I like Prowl way more than I thought I would. I had low expectations from reading about him, but he passed them. He's not OMG AMAZING, but I dig him. Ironhide is easily the better of the two, but Prowl is far from bad. He could definitely use some detailing, though.

    Has anyone seen the Gears/Warpath G1 minibots at any of the NC Walmarts? Or was that release a figment of my imagination?
