    Yep, that's the one I ordered that Gamestop.com said had been cancelled.

    The price isn't great as Amazon and WalMart have now both knocked $100 off the retail price. In fact, two days after the ship to store order had been "cancelled" I was able to buy the set from Gamestop.com and have it shipped to me for $160. Shortly after the new order arrived, the store started calling me to let me know my order had arrived.

    That store still has theirs because they refused to price match even their own site.

    You know, I wonder how many figures from Ollie's get bought and returned to WalMart for gift cards.

    I think the Wave 4 Battlemasters still haven’t hit US retail for some reason

    They've got 2 of these left at Kroger in Richmond if anyone happens to want one. $4.49 with a Kroger card. 1211191233.jpg

    F1131397-B154-44B3-B3A6-AB072050E820.jpeg Just found Spinister at Middletown Target 12/11/19 6pm.. they only had this one, but they did have a few Apeface and a few Thundercrackers if anyone’s looking for either of those. I’m sure Spinister will be popping up more and more now..

    Thanks for the heads up, I didn't end up having any luck unfortunately. I actually checked pulse and they had him in stock so I just ended up ordering from them. Really appreciate the tip though!

    No problem! Glad you found him anyway.

    Also, there’s a Studio Series tattoo Starscream at the Reynolds Rd Target for some reason if anyone missed him last year

    Anybody see a MPM Bumblebee at any Ross stores in Lexington? I checked the one up on New Circle on Thursday night and they had nothing.

    Struck out at three of four Louisville-area Ross stores. Haven't tried Dixie yet - if anyone goes, will you tell me if you nail down an MPM-07? I'd love one for 50 bucks.

    Finally got lucky - SS54 Megs at Fern Creek Walmart. Five originally, four after I grabbed mine. Zero sign of Mixmaster. Hoping we dont have a scalper around, but considering hes one to a case...

    Got to fiddling with Megatron a bit last night. He is SO GOOD. Well worth the wait for an '07 movie design. Little annoyed about the chest, but his transformation is great. Jet mode looks amazing. Forward swing on the shoulders is a bit loose, but nothing floor polish cant fix. Legs are not nearly so glaring as pictures make them out to be, and everything tabs in SOMEWHERE. Easily superior to the ROTF design. Hes now my favorite figure in the line, Voyager-wise. Gonna do a little hunting today after work for Mixmaster and Astrotrain. Wish me luck!

    Dont know about Lex, but I've checked every location I could find without hopping over the river - nothing. Might check Clarksville later today, but if I come up short it might be a few days before I start that hunt again.

    BOOM. Found this guy at the Ross in Middletown. Almost walked right by him, he was wedged between two bigger toys. Only one as far as I could tell.

    Reynolds Rd Target had a couple packs of Rumble/Ratbat, sold out of the Battle Squad though.
