    You still have Grindors? Walmarts have been stuck with Starscreams for a while, and I only saw Sludge twice there.

    Coincidentally, I did see Sludge today during a Target run for Transformers (to try and find Ironhide and Dead End)... and I found the Fallen! Picked him up. Really confused how Ironhide and Dead End have been sighted for a week now and I haven't found them despite looking at like 10 Targets the past couple days, yet the Fallen gets sighted for one day and I get him at my local Target without even trying to look for him. Go figure.

    Just the way the cookie crumbles I guess. What's weird is where I live only SS Deluxes and the Target store exclusives get stocked consistently. Coronation Starscream is still on the shelves (pretty sure there's still a Grindor in the back), so are the Sweeps and Wave 1 Legacy Deluxes, but Motormaster showed up once, Blitzwing has showed up a couple times, same with Jhiaxus but not Soundwave, meanwhile none of the Wave 2 Deluxes have shown up at all. Core class is completely throwing whatever they can in a case for some reason, so now my Target is being stocked with Iguanus, Optimus, Shockwave, and Soundwave.

    That's it. No Bomburst or G2 Megs for some reason? I guess to be fair SS Core is still on BB Ravage and whatever else so Legacy Core is an improvement but it's still such an odd lineup. I just wish that maybe the holidays clears this crap up but it would be really lame if I just never even saw half of these figures coming out this year on store shelves

    Studio Series Deluxes only seem to get stocked twice per target, and then never again. I hardly saw both of the Bumblebee movie waves, for instance. Recently, the wave with Arcee, Bumblebee, and Sideways is a bit better? Though not by much.

    The Fallen: “Thanks, buddy. You really did me a solid there. This murderous face-taking guy is traveling all across the country looking for me.”

    Sludge: “Anyone who hate Prime fine with me Sludge. You alright, weird mask guy.”

    I finally decided to get The Fallen today at Target, but I got him to use as my G1 Violen Jiger. 

    Do you guys think this figure can double as Violen Jiger from Transformers Zone?

    Not really? Violen's whole thing is a big, demonic skull-like face, his main colours being blue and tan, and giant shoulderpads, Fallen kind of misses on most of 'em

    But, hey, its your collection

    Not familiar with the charecter. But based on your description I've seen worse things repurposed over in the repurpose thread.
