    Nice. Got grimlock when he first came out, but I've passed on Inferno until now, so I'll probably grab him if he's still there tomorrow.

    I saw Grimlock and Inferno at a couple Ross' yesterday, but I already have FOC Grimlock so I passed. But, if the other dinobots start popping up, I'll bite. Those 3rd party kits for Volcanicus are pretty awesome. The Ross on 51st and Indian School had the nicest and most organized toy section I'd ever seen. A lot of Ross' toy sections were blown out, but this one still had a lot, and it was nice. I wanted to complement them lol.

    I also checked more 99 cent stores for that Powerdive with no luck. One had those Hero Masher things though. One of my stops was at the Collector's Marketplace which had a Powerdive, and although I watched reviews online and looked at pictures, it wasn't until I saw it in person that I realized how silly it looked, so I won't be searching for it anymore. Even at $5, there's no reason for me to buy it.

    That Bumblebee is pretty cool. The only thing I don't like is the finger articulation. You can't really make a proper fist.

    The Superstition Springs Target has a Crosshairs and a Spinister. It also looked like they got a case of Wave 5 Studio Series deluxes with a WWII Bumblebee, and a Voyager Megatron, which means a Mixmaster was probably there at some point recently. No Quintesson set.

    The G1 Astrotrain is starting to show up on Brickseek as "Limited Stock" at some Walmarts in the area, so I'd expect they should start showing up pretty soon.

    The Walmart at 87 and Baseline (one of the ones that supposedly has an Astrotrain) has a couple Lightning Collection Pink Rangers. And a Mr. Sinister.

    There's a couple G1 Astrotrains on the top shelf at Maricopa Wal-Mart.

    I've seen Megatron and Mixmaster in the wild already. Sorry I didn't report it.

    Stapely and 60 Walmart: Two Crosshairs and Spinisters
    Greenfield and 60 Walmart: Two G1 Soundwaves
    Sup. Springs and Southern Walmart: jack shit (like usual)
    Signal Butte and 60 Walmart: Six G1 Soundwaves
    Power and Ray Walmart: Three G1 Soundwaves, a Dark of the Moon Leader SS Optimus Prime, and a SS Bonecrusher.
    Power and Ray Target: A Siege Ultra Magnus. One Lightning Collection MM Red Ranger, and a couple Marvel Legends Retro Collection Dazzlers, don't see those too often. I still have yet to see a Storm on any shelves. No Quintesson set either.

    So, lots of G1 Soundwaves out there now. Didn't see a single Astrotrain. It was a rollercoaster of emotion, see the G1 Decepticon box and get excited, then realize it's Soundwave and get unexcited. Multiple times.

    Superstition Springs Target has several Cyberverse smol sharkticon sets, didn't see any Quintesson sets yet though. They're on the regular shelf, not an endcap, but it looked like they might be clearing off that row's endcap, so maybe in the next day or two.

    The Arrowhead Target in Glendale has the Cyberverse Quintesson set if anyone was looking for it.

    Some Walgreens in the area have the new Diamond Selects Last Airbender figures that just came out (in boxes that are entirely too big). I don't think I saw all three at any one though.
    The entire region seems to have been picked clean of the two new Marvel Legends waves, didn't see any Stepford Cuckoos anywhere yet either.
    And still no Astrotrain. =/

    I take it they don't have any Siege Wave5s there? Haven't been there since Saturday.
