    Target is the same.
    They have a bunch of Hobgoblin Funkos.

    Went to the Exchange in Monroeville today and lucked upon a really nice 86 movie poster, brand new, in a plastic sleeve. $8.

    Yesterday I ran through so many Targets & Walmart's (At least 15 total!), all the way from Princeton NJ, through Bucks County PA, all the way up to Montgomeryville PA. And let me tell you, in the TF sections of these Target's, I literally only found a tone of those damn wayyyyy over priced wonky looking Transformers status & lots of Origin Bees! And for Walmart's, it was a shit tone of Bones! Bones literally everywhere!!! Bones all over the freaking place...bones, Bones, BONES!!! However, both Target's & Walmart's both had something in common...Rhinoxs, and...(that's right you guessed it!)...An unholy amount of Tigertron! So so so many Tigertron that i'm still seeing stripes!

    Now I'm going to go back to eating my Frosted Flakes...because someone told me that they're great.

    Bucks County? Were you in Levittown or Neshaminy? If so, that saves me a trip.

    In the Bucks County area, I stopped into Levittown, Langhorne, Neshaminy, (& the North East Philadelphia) Target's & Walmart's. Before heading out towards Montgomeryville. Hopefully that helps.

    I've only been back collecting for the last few weeks after about 4 years away. So, my son and I went hunting all weekend. All store have pretty much the same things. Target in Cranberry had a few leader BW Kingdom Megatrons, Nothing else of note. I did stumble upon a Kingdom Huffer at a Walgreens, so I picked it up and made my happy dance out to the car which made my wife laugh. My local Grove City Walmart still has about 10 Sweeps and 6 Wreck Gars along with a bunch of bones and a lone Blackarachnia. She is one toy I don't have in any BW form. Is she worth getting? Also, Has anyone seen a Blaster in the wild at all in the last few weeks? Or has my chance on him gone by the wayside, and my hopes now rest in finding him in the Legacy line?

    I haven't seen Blaster at all in our area, so I'm not sure if you missed him or we are still waiting on him. And it looks like you saved me a trip to the Cranberry Target. I was planning on going this afternoon to see if they had SS86 Starscream.

    That was Saturday, so you never know. As far as my local Walmart, they have been restocking the last few nights, so I'm going to go today after work and check.

    If you’re just getting back, Blackarachnia is a fine figure. The bones are also worth picking up.

    Grove City, eh? I have Scourge but no Sweeps. Perhaps I'll swing by there and grab one. (I'm just over the border in Ohio so it's maybe a half-hour drive.) As for Black Arachnia, she's honestly not bad. Her transformation is too fiddly for her size, but she looks great in both modes and she's pretty articulated with a respectable parts count. Paint apps ain't half bad, either.

    Agreed. As long as you get all of them so you can create the combiner. It's not the sturdiest mess, but it looks awesome.

    I picked up a little card for Comic Con in Youngstown. And on the back it advertised for Eerie Frequencies store in Niles. Have you ever been there?

    I have not, I haven't even heard of it. I just moved out of Niles last year and closer to Warren/the border. Huh. Now I'll have to Google it and take a look. If there's any convention to go to around here, it's Toyhio. Good place to go to find reasonable prices on a massive selection of figures. 2 shows per year. One in February, one in June. I believe they had one in October as well. (Draws people in from all over the country, surprisingly.)

    If you've never been to Renegade Toys in North Lima, I highly recommend it. Walt and Mike are super awesome dudes and work with you, especially if you have stuff for trade.

    Grove City Walmart put out some Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures figures. So I snagged an Arcee for my 4 year old. There was Arcee, Slug, Bumblebee, and Starscream. Like I said in an earlier post, I'm just getting back into collecting, so I don't know what is "newsworthy" lol. I just haven't seen these at my Walmart since I got back into the game.
