    So I'm just going to put a crush on those of you still hunting for Runabout/Thrust, of which I am a member, a contact at Hasbro confirmed for me this morning that the entire flow has shipped, there is one small shot that will make its way out to stores soon, but that's it. I know a lot of us were hoping this would a hit a saturation point some time in January, but it isn't looking like that will happen.

    Feel free to believe I'm just making this up for my own jollies.

    If I come across another one I'll grab it. I have to pick up a trap at Bass Pro tomorrow so I'll be checking in that area.

    Oooh I believe it. The scalpers are having orgasms over the idea of how much they are going to get for these on ebay. I plan on grabbing every single one I come across and start distributing them to other board members. Target's target is on their back and I have an arrow just ready to let fly right now.

    People who swap toys have a special place in hell. The person who did THAT should be in a worse one. I am so sorry.

    They won't be getting any money from me. If I can't find Thrust for a normal price, I'll just sell the other two. Not worth being gouged by the bastards who take advantage.

    I know a few of the local NoVA scalpers and if I see them in front of the Transformers section reaching I will body check them while pretending to trip or slipping on the floor and make off with the goods. It can get brutal out there kiddies.

    Since you are new here you have not learned/caught on to our brand of humor yet. I do not promote physical violence. But I am faster than I look and have snatched an item off the shelf before the other guy/gal. All is fair in the plastic crack war.

    Seven Corners Target has 1 ER Runabout and a few Doublecrossers (you can never have enough Doublecrossers). Also, 4 Cyberverse Arcees.

    The Manassas Target has Cyberverse Prowl, Soundwave, and two Starscreams - all left as I do not collect the line.

    Burke Target looks like a wasteland in the toy department.

    I need to get my hand on that Soundwave for my youngest. He asks to play with the Netflix Soundwave DAILY. I want to get him his own, lol.

    The Rochambeau Walmart is a wasteland as expected... However if anyone needs any of wave 2 the Aldi on Richmond road has at least 2 of everyone...

    Walmart Dulles Crossing has 2 Netflix Elita and 2 G1 Blaster. Didn't see any other Netflix figures. But there's a ton of returned stuff everywhere, so I might have missed something.

    Would that include the Quintesson judge? I've been looking for that one for ages, but have never seen one on shelves yet.

    No... I should have specified it was the deluxe figures. Wave 2 Voyagers have never gotten here as far as I know

    I have seen a single Judge on the shelf and it was at a Walmart up here in NoVA (want to say back in late September/Early October). The box was a bit rough but the figure was fine. When to a good home with another board member. I did not need it since I snagged a couple from BBTS when they put the preorders up. Have not seen another since or a single shelf tag at Walmart or Target either. We may never see it hit retail again at this point.

    I've not seen the Judge or his wavemate Megatron, and I hit the stores fairly frequently. I suspect this may be a wave that shows up at Ross/marshalls next year, if they dont push through before Kingdom hits stores
