    Saw Siege Thundercracker at the Walmart next to Micro Center. Also the Walgreens near my house has started carrying the smaller Authentics for 6.99 each.

    I found another Jetfire at the Walmart in Tomball(with all his accessories!!!).

    Also saw the Siege Megatron and Thundercracker at the Walmart on crosstimbers. Those 2 should still be there

    WalmartS around Katy seem to have their TF section deadly empty...are you guys hunting 24/7 ??? :) 
    Maybe massive restock incoming?

    I bought only 1 item, Siege Thuncecracker @ WM in Fulsher.

    I miss hunting at TRU so much! I used to go there with my wife after dinner on Saturday looking for LEGO, TF, Hotwheels and Pixar Cars. Not sure in which form TRU will be back, but this gives me joy.

    Walmart at 35 and Short road in Dallas has 1 Thundercracker left. He's on the top shelf above everything. Good hunting!

    Bunch of siege Starscreams at the Walmart off of HWY 114 in Roanoke. It was sitting on top of a $25 sticker and they honored it soooo *thumbs up*. They had an ultra Magnus (79$ :(  ) , Prime, and some other non-recognizable ones as well. I did buy the last Thundercracker though.


    Side question to anyone who has purchased a siege Thundercracker. Do you by chance have a random rusted screw on the left forearm?

    I was wondering the same thing. Perhaps he means Jetfire.

    I couldn't tell ya. Maybe it was put in the wrong spot but it was the reason I put it back immediately.

    Ya, it had to be put in the wrong spot. 49.99 is retail for a leader class. Always look for the scanners if it seems too high. If you decide to go back, he's a great figure and a solid Magnus.

    Yeah - definitely going to do that. Picked up a Frenzy (*ugh*) and laserbeak re-issue but despite being unopened laserbeak's sticker looks damaged I didn't notice til I got home. Very odd.

    Side note: The Walmart in Roanoke has a bunch (5+) of G1 re-issue Frenzy/LaserBeak sets for $19 if you need one.
