    A couple cases of the good Cyberverse toys at Altamonte Target. Grabbed Megatron this time; hopefully, he’s better than Shockwave..

    Heads up for central Floridians: there are two cons going on today. The first is the DeLand Comics and Collectibles Show at the Volusia County Fairgrounds, and the second is the Orlando Toy and Comic Con at the Avanti Palms on I-Drive.

    Of the two the DeLand show is cheaper and likely to have more toy sellers, but the Orlando show has some solid comic book and media guests. It's an hour drive from one to the other so with a bit of planning going to both should be doable.

    One MP-46 Beast Wars Blackarachnia at Epic Comics in the Waterford Towers. $139.99. So happy it finally arrived! My distributor shorted me MP Hound, unfortunately.

    A blessing in disguise, apparently; literally, the only time I ever see people mention hound is to announce that they, too, had the legs disintegrate.

    Altamonte Walmart had ‘07 Megatron and Mixmaster. I walked past them on the shelf, and by the time I doubled back to pick up Mix, he was gone.

    Bruce B Downs Super Target had the new Cyberverse wave. Missing Optimus but they had 1 of Shockwave, Megatron and Bee. Snagged them and they also had about 5 Sharkticon packs and 1 Quintesson pack. I bought 1. the quintesson is great. simple but fun.

    Sharkticons and a Quintesson at the Lake Mary Blvd. Target. I left a Velocity Suit Spider-man by the NECA heap in electronics.

    NTF: So, somebody posted that Altamonte Target had a just put out an entire case of carbonized Mandalorians and even included corroborating photos. I happened to be at that Home Depot and walked over- couldn’t have been more than twenty minutes. All gone.

    Also: Brickseek is utterly, utterly useless now. I’m in there *holding* a Marvel Legends She-Hulk and they’re telling me the entire state is sold out of the whole wave. If anybody sees Doom, please help me out!

    In other news, Altamonte Walmart put out another SS Voyager case but all the Mixes are already gone. If you missed him the first time, there’s a SS Sideswipe and partsforming aside, I really recommend him. They also still have Skyfire; I don’t know if Walmart price matches, but it is worth a shot if they do.

    SS Shockwave and Scavenger found in the wild; I bought Scavenger but left Shockwave— I want him more but I know myself, and I will just end up selling him when Black Mamba inevitably releases their improved, giant version of him later this year. Anyway, scalping has gotten really bad in our area again and I want to make sure one of you guys get him, so message me for his location. There is only one left but it’s in an out-of-the-way place so I’m sure there is time!

    Uhhh did you get pics? That might be news-worthy.

    @NothingHead actually probably is newsworthy as I'm not seeing anything yet. If you have a receipt still feel free to post it in N/R and I'll getcha frontpaged.

    At Daytona Target we have the Cyberverse Cheetor with Spark Armor on clearance for $12.48. We have 3 of them left, they're sitting on aisle E24. Didnt see anything of note at Port Orange target. Ormond Beach Walmart has 2 of the Cyberverse Gnaw figures.

    Super-glad I went against my better judgment and posted that receipt. Remind me to never do that again; just take my word for the finding, or don’t.. Many of you are good people, especially the ones I’ve been fortunate enough to meet irl; but the majority of this site is very toxic. I can’t believe they’re trying to deconstruct my receipt. I bought a doll.. or underwear.. so I’m some type of psycho, according to Shockwave Labs. Cool. I guess my figures won’t get any new LEDs moving forward.:) :)

    I’m sorry there’s such asshats around here. I went to the store the other day to get maternity underwear for my wife who is pregnant and found the mandalorian figure everybody is looking for. I’m sure if i posted that receipt I’d be called all kinds of freak.
