    Target in Altamonte Springs, annoyingly, has muscle car Dropkick but nothing else from the wave; They also have one of those minicon packs everyone is looking for, and the Seeker set. They also have the spark armor cyberverse figures, which I was trying to be optimistic about and hoped would be like actual Transformers at that pierce point, but.. yeah nah. That show is getting robbed; the designs are amazing and the toys are so bad.

    Walmart in Apopka off 441 has one KSI Boss and a Longhaul which, trust me, you definitely want. Also: SS Jetfire and hobo Megatron, and the Sideswipe Studio Series.

    Earlier today i bought the last G1 Soundwave set from the Walmart on Kirkman Road. I am looking for all four extra minions. I have Siege Galaxy Upgrade Optimus and some more bots to trade if anyone has the cassettes and is willing to trade. Prime has been displayed however he is complete and i do have his box and instructions.

    That's Boynton.

    Speaking of which, have you checked out Tate's in the Boynton Beach Mall? I haven't been in a while, and I'm wondering if they have any TFs or old GI Joes in stock.

    Correct Boynton. Tates Boynton never had TFs not sure about joes but the original tates in lauderhill always had older to oldest TFs.

    Went to Port Orange Walmart off Dunlawton because brickseek shows 4 in stock of the G1 reissue Optimus for $3.00. Generally as a rule of thumb if the number is 4 and above I go to check it out because it may be legit and I checked other in stock items to verify brickseek wasnt just being inaccurate. I searched everywhere and finally asked an employee to which they said they've never seen that toy before and we dont have any transformers on clearance (they in fact have all of the cyberverse primes w/trailer on clearance). Why are Walmart employees so fucking shitty and unwilling to help? I was even talking to the one who was stocking shelves in the toy aisle.


    On the plus side, they have 2 Siege Jetfire in stock on the shelf.

    Because they are probably being held in the back so the employees can buy them.

    When the TRUs here were closing i heard of several employees keeping stuff (like the classic Voltron lions) in the back so they coud purchase them without the customers knowing they were even there.

    When I told her it is showing 4 in stock her immediate rebuttal was that those numbers are always 100% wrong. I then told her, "but it shows this toy (Siege Jetfire) being in stock with a quantity of 2, and it is in fact a correct listing as I pointed it out to her on the shelf. I don't care much for being lied to especially when I prove them wrong both times and they still dont bother to help. I guess this is why Target gets most of my business. Seeing Jetfire in person was really tempting too by the way but that employee made me not want to support that store.

    Now i don't know if this is something that happens in Wal-Mart but at least one store in the UK did this.
    They would drastically reduce items before writing them off completely so it looks better for the money men.
    You haven't written off $600 of unsold stock, you've reduced it down drastically and not sold it so you only got rid of $150 bucks worth of stock.

    Waterford Lakes SuperTarget: I was about to get the Studio Series Leader Prime but decided against it at the last minute as I want to save some cash for Infinity Toy and Comic Con this weekend. I left it in the self checkout area on the grocery side.
