    I guess it's called "BIG K". I didn't know there was more than 1 in Annandale. It's the 1 on Little River Tpk ...

    Look around the Richmond Walmarts I found a Shockblast and they had Cliffjumper too. I passed on Cliffjumper because he's kinda lame. Shockblast is great, a definate must own.

    Well, CRAP. I was in NoVA today, and totally forgot about the Kmart sighting. Did hit a BUNCH of Wal-Marts/Targets (Fair Lakes, Manassas, Franconia), and came up with absolutely nothing (well ... one of them had a single Arcee, but since I already had her, I didn't keep track of which. Sorry, guys!)

    Actually ... come to think of it, the place that had Arcee also had one each of Offshoot and E. Strongarm. I thought they looked like ass, so I passed on them. Sorry, again! Yeah, I'm a bad sighter, but I really only look for stuff that I'm interested in; I don't "collect", I buy stuff I actually LIKE.

    Other than that one semi-rare sighting, it was pretty much all Wave 1 and 2 stuff, if that. Some of the stores barely had anything on the shelves. Honestly, it was totally depressing, and made me want to order online (which I can't, because I'm moving soon).

    I suppose I could try hitting Richmond soon, but dunno when I'll have the time ...

    As of yesterday, nothing new at Troutville/Bonsack Wal-Mart, Salem Wal-Mart and Christiansburg Wal-Mart.

    More to come.

    Found a Shockblast on Friday during my lunch break! The Big K on Little Creek road in Norfolk just got them in, they probably still have Cliffjumper too.

    Cool, its good to see someone else from the Norfolk area. I assume you're talking about the Walmart on military highway? Did they have any other wave 4 stuff, or new alternators?

    Yeah, that's the one. They had 2 Mirage's... He's wave 4, I'm assuming, and they had Insecticon. No new alternators unfortunately

    Had to stop by Valley View Wal-Mart on the way home from work - only had 4 alternators on the shelf (none new), but it looks like they'll be restocking these soon....if not later today. Someone was stocking the toy department while I was there...goodie.

    Spotted 1 Alt. Hound and 2 Alt. Silverstreaks at Charlottesville KMart yesterday. Bought the Hound.

    (And yes, it annoys me to no end that KMart, which rarely carries anything interesting, is getting new stuff now. I guess that's more of a reflection on how badly Wal-Mart is doing on stocking new stuff than anything else.)

    Nothing "new" in Roanoke to report at all - literally.

    220 Wal-Mart has about 3 Treadbolts. How exciting.

    K-Mart on Franklin? Road still has 5 Armada Prime/Jetfire combo packs - only one of which was marked down to $24.99, which was odd...the others were $39 or so. Also had an Energon Demolishor for anybody who is really jonesing for one.

    Where in Norfolk are you talking about? I've wanted Silverstreak for a while and can never find him.

    Ok, Bonsack (Troutville, whatever) Wal-Mart opened one case of wave 3 basics. One Arcee, one Insecticon and 2 more divebombs or whatever else is in there.

    First Arcee I have ever seen, but did not buy since no dinero.

    Salem K-mart - dry.

    I'm still looking for Energon Strongarm and another Shockblast. I am willing to pay alittle extra for anyone willing to part for one in the Hampton Roads area.

    Got to go to Richmond yesterday and today, and while I was there, I found out that THEY have all the new transformers. Bastards!!

    Arcee, Alt Silverstreak (US style steering wheel), and repained energon basics a plenty! Even had Alt Hound, but some dude beat me to the only one by about 5 stinkin minutes! Though, for what its worth, after talking to him for a few minutes, he seemed like a nice guy... No Shockblasts to be had, though.

    a friend of mine was in Richmond this weekend, maybe it was him? I know he was looking for a Hound but I haven't heard back from him yet to see if he found it. What did the guy look like, I'm curious.
