    Oh hells yeah - out doing some grocery shopping at one of the 11 local Kroger's, and managed to find Heroes of Cybertron wave 5 as part of their drug/gm summer promo items. $3.99 each, and I got 4 of them at the first store (Hollins), and traveled the whopping 3 minutes to the next Kroger (Towne Square) and got the last 2 I needed. Victory is MINE!!!!!

    Checked the Cheasapeake Square Wal-Mart today , found 1 Arcee , 1 Cruellock , A couple Insecticons , A ton of Prime's and Megatron's , Universe Ratchet , Prowl , Sywarp , Sunstreaker , Tankor & Obsidian , Optimus Primal.
    Also saw a couple Jetfire and Ironhide figures , a ton of Strong Arm and Signal Flare's , I think a couple Energon Prowl's , Two or 3 Demolishors , A ton of 20th Primes (FLOODING the shelves , that's what ya get when you put it at ages 5+ T_T....kids wouldn't buy that.....) one E. Tidal Wave , some Unicrons (Armada in a badly damaged box with a minicon package taped to the lid as a "bonus pack" , and mainly Energon's ) Sideswipe Alternators ( 6 of 'em ) 1 Energon Saber Minicon pack, And , to my surprise , the Energon Blaster and Megatron's Sword role-play weapons. ( 2 of each )


    Target in the Cheasapeake Square Mall : A real dissapointment . 1 Rodimus , 1 Snowcat , 1 Starscream , 1 Hot Shot , 1 Inferno , 3 Ironhides , 1 Treadbolt stuffed all way into the back of the shleves , 2 Jetfires , 3 Strong Arms , 1 Signal Flare , 1 Insecticon , 2 Optimus Primals (Universe) 1 Inferno ( Universe ) , 1 Ratchet ... I think... (also Universe ) , a couple of E. Primes...

    They really need to restock T_T.

    Well guys, check your local Targets for Omega Supreme. I found him today at Target on the corner of Oyster Point and Jefferson in Newport News. One left if any are you are up to a road trip. He's more than huge, he's gigantic and his combination with Prime is more impressive than I ever though possible. Truely a titan of power.

    Winchester Target - Omega Supreme!

    Winchester, VA
    Target
    Omega Supreme

    After an irritating week-long wait for my local Target to get around to shifting and restocking the action-figure aisle, they finally did it today. I went in this morning and all the pegs were set but empty and they were working on transferring the toys already on the floor. I noticed a shelf sticker said "Omega Supreme" and asked a guy if they were resetting today - he said yes. I checked back around 3 and sure enough they had reset - including 2 shiney new Omegas. I got one and there was one left.

    Now where's Shockblast and Cliffjumper damnit? (Or for that matter Downshift, Towline, Sharticon, Slugslinger etc...)

    i don't know if anybone here is a halo 2 fan but i figured i'd list this anyway.

    i'm pretty sure there is going to be a van or car passing out halo 2 demos on

    tuesday the 24th all over the country!!!


    i have everything listed below how to find out where.....



    I heard about the fake site that is listed on the bottom of the halo 2 trailer in theaters and..................

    if you didn't hear about it, after the trailer, when the xbox logo comes up... on the bottom of the screen, under the logo it says www.xbox.com... but then it switches to ... www.ilovebees.com .... then back to ... www.xbox.com

    the site is supposed to be hacked, and there is a timer counting down to tuesday august 24th also there is writing that says........

    HALT - MODULE CORE HEMORRHAGE SYSTEM PERIL DISTRIBUTED REFLEX. STRONG INTRUSIVE INCLINATION. COUNTDOWN TO WIDE AWAKE AND PHYSICAL :

    if you switch the letters around it says

    INDEX THIS IRONCLAD PREDICTION : HALO TWO SINGLE PLAYER DEMO CD-ROM DISK INCURSION AT AUGUST TWENTY FOUR. EARTH WILL NEVER BE THE SAME."



    i heard about all of this, so i decided to have a go at this site.

    after about 1/2 hour of searching for clues i ended up on this page...


    www.ilovebees.com/links.html


    which has alot of GPS (global positioning system) coordinates on it.

    check for one near you.

    here is a site to get a location by using the GPS numbers...also MAKE SURE to put the - symbol in front of the second set of numbers.


    http://www.mapquest.com/maps/latlong.adp



    i knew that my area (milwaukee) was about 043 -088 ... so i looked for one around there. Sure enough i found one.

    also directly underneath each coordinate there is a time.

    the time for mine happens to be 15:35 PDT (Pacific Daylight Time)

    to check the time difference go to www.ebay.com

    their time is in PDT

    so whatever is going to happen is going to start when the timer runs out

    and at each location at that specific time....

    I went to other forums on the subject... to see if i could find out anything else, but most of them are messing with the game.

    but i did find out that there were originally different coordinates. so i looked up the original milwaukee coordinates... and it was 61st and north.

    now i looked at a few GPS sites. and both of the milwaukee locations are in the middle of the street. So I'm guessing that there will be a van or something giving out something. Hopefully a playable demo

    alot of people are thinking waaay tooo hard about this, but I figure if they are doing something they won't make it too teribly difficult to figure out, because then nobody would show up.

    I think it's a safe bet something will happen at these locations at those times. so I'm leaving work at noon on tuesday, hopefully I'll see a bunch of people there also.

    ok so i have a time and a place. I don't think there is anything else to figure, unless you want to play the ARG (alternate reality game)

    Semi-periodic "there ain't jack in Roanoke" update:

    There still ain't jack.

    Ran by TRU, and they had $5 Armada PL Hot Shot and Nemesis Prime (1 of each) as part of their "green tag" sale. No new Prime/Megs packs. Oh, and don't waste your time looking anywhere in Salem for new stuff, either - cause guess what? They don't have a thing.

    Bulkhead found?

    I found Cliffjumper at the Walmart in Norfolk, VA. I stopped by the Lynnhaven Mall Walmart in Virginia Beach and the toy aisle guy was a transfan. Now *he* said that he found Bulkhead (Bulkhead!) about a week ago packed with a pair of Scorponoks. I didn't find Shockblast, unfortunately. No sign of the new deluxes, either.

    Bulkhead found!

    Short version:

    Fredericksburg, VA Walmart: Bulkhead (!!!)
    Norfolk VA Military Circle Walmart: Cliffjumper (missed Shockblast twice!)

    Long version: I visited some friends in Norfolk over the weekend and my wife was kind enough to indulge my desire to stop at every Walmart within spitting distance of our route homeward. While visiting in Norfolk, I found Cliffjumper at Military on Saturday. Which means I had just missed Shockblast! Then on Monday I went back to Military and saw ANOTHER Cliffjumper, which means I missed Shockblast AGAIN! At the Virginia Beach Walmart I ran into a Walmart employee who was also a transfan - he said he'd managed to pick up Bulkhead a week or so ago. (Lucky bastard). Well, I did find a Bulkhead of my very own at the Fredericksburg SuperCenter. Now where's Shockblast??

    I was at that Wal-Mart yesterday morning, there was a Shockblast and Mirage on the very top shelf a few feet away from the Transformers section. As far as I know they're still there.
