    Forgive me if these have been spotted before, found these at a Kroger Marketplace in Suffolk VA today. They're 2.99 despite what that tag says.

    Saw 'em at a Kroger in Dayton Ohio as well. I got a Blackarachnia. She could use more paint. :)

    Make sure you hit the Kroger Marketplaces if you have those in your area. I'm lucky enough to have 4 near me and they all restocked their toy sections with newer stuff

    Thanks for the heads up! Didn’t even know they had two different models, so now I’m questioning if my local Kroger even sells toys anymore lol... I know they used to, unless I’m remembering wrong.
    Looks as if I have two Marketplaces in my area, both about 50 minutes away in opposite directions, so hopefully these aren’t the only places that carry them, otherwise tomorrow’s going to be a long day :cry

    No, this was a newer Kroger Marketplace south of there, in Centerville/Sugarcreek, near the CostCo.

    Can confirm one of our Kroger Marketplaces has them. We have three in town but went to the one nearest me.

    Nabbed 2 :D :D  Definitely only the Marketplaces have them... tried 2 regular Kroger’s and nada. I’m not sure how many come in a case, but they only had 2 BAs, like 1 Grimlock, and 10,000 Soundwaves :rolleyes:

    I've seen Tiny Turbo Changers at Kmart, Best Buy and those Go! Calendars games and toys stores at the mall. I keep checking whatever off the wall stores I can think of in search of movie wave 5.

    I've only seen them at one of three Kmart in my area. They weren't with the Transformers though, across the aisle there was a section of blind bags toys and cheesy knick knack junk. I wasn't looking for them and just happened to see them by chance.

    Holy crap! THREE Kmarts?? I thought i was lucky to still have one. And when i say LUCKY i really do mean it. Case in point guys i just got a free $44.99 Leader Class figure (Studio Series Leader Optimus Prime) for buying wave 1 of the Cyberverse Spark Armor series ($24.99 Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee, + $14.99 Starscream, Prowl, Sky-Byte, Jetfire). Basically spend each $50 get $20 back but i earned points as well so for the $109.96 i spent, I only had to spend $1.64 for the Leader Optimus Prime after. Which i was very happy to do so. :D
