    Heh. :) 

    I saw one King Atlas at the Auburn Wal*Mart this afternoon. Greg Gaub was there, so I let him buy it.

    Nothing new at the puyallup wal-mart today, but lots of things were on sale. Makes me wish I would have held off on Scorponok... he was like $17.

    Of course now that Im not looking for him, there were like 15 Megatrons in the store and not a fat boy prime in sight. Kind of odd I think :)

    Forgot to mention that Woody Target had the Black Gun 20th Primes, if anyone is looking for the Black Gun varient.

    Personally I like the silver one on my 20th Convoy just fine.

    I snagged one of the King Atlases from Redmond Target yesterday afternoon. Nifty paint job, and I'm glad to see the crazy periscope feature added back in. The thing is a brick, with a whopping two points of useful articulation in robot mode. It is pretty much superior to Machine Wars Starscream in all ways, but that may be damning with faint praise.
    If you like good repaints, this is worth picking up. If you have MW Starscream, you may not care enough about the periscope gimmick to want another copy, and if you have the original (Turbomaster?) release, there's probably nothing for you here at all.

    WHOHOO!! Yay me!!

    Well since I never had a MW Starscream or the European TF he's pretty cool. My only problem w/ it is the same problem I'm having w/ ALL the Universe toys. The plastic REALLY seems like it's knockoff quality. Granted, it's not as bad as my Universe Red Alert (the plastic seems like a higher end knockoff), but STILL! It just seems that Hasbro is releasing these great molds, but using shitty plastic in the process!

    As for King Atlas' color, I think it looks WAAAAAAY better than MW Starscream! :thumb :

    BTW- You're in Lake City ain't ya Artie? Cause it looks like I might be moving out that way. I'm looking at an apartment on Thursday (around the Wendy's). Hopfully it's what I'm looking for, and we can have 2 spaces in the parking garage, cause there's just NO WAY either myself or my roomate are gonna leave a car on the street there!

    Hey guys, my buddy and I just finished our quick roadtrip in North WA. Funny thing, we picked up a a couple King Atlas' at the Burlington Target and drove south to the next walmart. When we got there, they also had 3 King Atlas' sitting in their exclusive TF section!!! Does this mean King Atlas is no longer a Target Exclusive???

    Still nothing really new at the SH target... Couple of 20th primes and the usual assortment of not much, but no King Atlas for me yet :p

    I'm positive I saw King Atlas at Walmart. There were 2 or 3 and they were in the Exlcusive aisle along with the rest of Walmarts exclusive. It was also reported on tformers.com

    Ok time for the Dorkus Hunt List:

    Bellevue TRU: Nothing new
    Factoria Target: Same here, but now has wave 2
    Renton Wal*Mart: This places sucks!
    Southcenter TRU: Nope
    Southcenter Target: Wow, this is frustrating.
    Federal Way Wal*Mart: Nothing new here either
    Federal Way Target: All I want is a King Atlas, but it's not here either.
    Federal Way TRU: Well, lets go to Auburn see if they have anything.
    Auburn Wal*Mart: WAHHH!!!

    So yeah. Nothing for the dork...

    I didn't go to quite as many stores as DM did, hit everything in Puyallup, Tacoma, and Lakewood yestreday, but I found nothing as well.

    I wants me an Arcee and Insecticon dangit. Why are they only one per case each? Did Mattel take over Hasbro?
