    Well since they released the toyline in the 80's, I thought they would. I like the oldschool names better than these modified ones. Oh well....

    Oh, yeah. You only have first right to names if you continue to have the name in use. They could probably have gone the "Decepticon Shrapnel" route, but really - who cares? It's not stamped on the toy. Call him Goobermunch if you want to.

    I've seen Hoist/Mixmaster and Megs/soundwave 3 pack pretty easily at multiple TRU's...didn't think they were hard to find

    Don't know if this is true, but someone said that the 34.99 Mixmaster on TRU.com supposedly is the Hoist/Mixmaster TRU exclusive set.

    Arroyo Grande Walmart: Just about everything except HA Skids still. A few Thrust (movie Decepticon symbol variant) and quite a few Gears.

    AG K-mart: 1x Devastator and 2x Grey Animated Shockwave.

    BTW, if anyone is interested, I still 1 extra of both the reissue Insecticons and Perceptor that I will sell and ship for exact cost (meaning no markup). If noone is interested, these are going back to the store on Monday.

    Just got back from Santa Ana Walmart, and they had a shit load of shit! At least 6 of HA Skids & Bumblebee, Deluxe Thrust, Jolt, Gears, Ravage, Swerve, Arcee. A couple of Deluxe Dead End, Blazamaster. There's more that I can't think of, but they're stocked.

    The other day I posted I saw about 3 Bruticus at the South St. Cerritos TARGET store. Today I saw about six on a endcap next to the bikes. Still $14.99.

    ok im going for sure tomorrow for those bruticus.

    on another note i got my hands on the ROTF blu ray today and i'm kinda disappointed. feature wise that is, no BD-live this time. i actually liked the bd-live features from the first one with info and the health bars. wonder why not include it in this one. this movie had so many thing going on at once i think it would have been helpful. just my opinion.

    Richmond Target did not have anything new really. They did have the Bruticus Maximus set on clearance for $28 something though ....

    A friend bought it for me. He said from a swapmeet near the city of Gardena. Swapmeets never obey street date release.

    Swapmeets tend to also carry bootlegs (albeit really damn good looking ones).
