    As of Friday morning (Aug. 6) Lawton K-Mart still had the Cliffjumper sitting on the shelf with Ironhide. Of course, this place seems to get some weird assortments. Back in mid-July they got one Megatron (when he was WM exclusive he shipped in a case by himself, right? Don't know if he still does now that hes no longer WM-exclusive), and the first time I saw it there it was in a shopping cart with some other stuff in the electronics dept.

    Did finally get a non-pointed Divebomb today. I plan to get 2 of each basic Terrorcon in their initial color scheme and one of each of the repaints for a "squad leader". Not gonna consider the Omnicons as "drones" tho and get many repaints except maybe E-Strongarm. I keep wanting to call the Omnicons "Omnibots"....

    Anyhow, if anyone in the OKC area is looking for something, the "Tri-City" Wal-mart can be pretty decent (I've heard it called Newcastle Wal-mart also). Thats where I found Silverstreak and Hound in mid-July and Mirage in early June. Some of those small town WMs have decent selections.

    Walmart in Moore had two of the Universe 4 packs, with the tankdrone/unicorn/2 minicons in it. Weird assortment.

    Sweet, I'm going to have to head down there on Monday. Any sign of Whirl or Fireflight? And has ANYONE seen an Energon Downshift or Tow-Line in the last week? It seems like I'll NEVER find them.

    Target on NW Expressway in OKC had the Universe $20 packs that had Whirl, and the set with the Battle Unicorn repaint. That was on thursday. Yesterday, when I dropped by Kmart in Lawton, the Cliffjumper figure was finally gone. It seems most of the Wal-Marts have finished their toy aisle resets, so hopefully we'll be up to our eyeballs in Shockblasts, Hounds, and Towlines by this time next month.

    Hey guys,

    Right now I'm in Tulsa on a business trip. I stopped in at the WM on S. Memorial and they had tons of the past waves, I wouldn't bother with it for a few days. The WM on 71st had TFU Fireflight though, and that toy is freaking sweet. I picked up the only one they had (on a side note it was hidden among energon basics).

    If any of you all know any good places to check PM me. I leave Friday. Oh yeah, we're opening up our 96,000' sq pizza and games restaurant Wenesday the 18th. Come check it out, its at the corner of 85th and 71st. It's called Incredible Pizza and its just amazing.

    I just went by all but one Wal-Mart that I could think of. And one Target. The things of interest:

    I FINALLY found a place in Oklahoma that has $7 Universe Sunstorms (Edmond Wal-Mart, in the clearance aisle).

    The Edmond Super Target has multiple Omega Supremes, Offshoots, an Energon Strongarm, and at least 2 of every wave 3 figure and wave 2 figure (except the now ironically named...Mirage).

    Aside from that I've found ZERO new Universe, and only one other place with anything past wave 3 in Energon (a single Offshoot at the Kohl's in Moore).

    And apparently Inferno's going to become the new Ironhide in terms of overstock.

    I picked up one of the Energon mini-con 6-packs at the Wal-mart near Quail Springs. The only had the one with the Road Wrecker and Night Attack teams. Anyone know of a Wal-Mart with the Space and Race teams?

    Got around today, have a few notes:

    Wal-Mart on Northwest Expressway and Council is COMPLETELY redoing their toy section...so I'd wait until at least tomorrow to check there for anything past wave 1 in Energon...or if you're looking for Universe Autobot Ratchet.

    Target on May had two or more Omega Supremes, and 3 Demolishers. Nothing interesting Universe-wise.

    Toys R Us by Quail Springs had two G1 Skids...but I didn't see any sales signs...and not much by way of selection (although they DID have all the mini-con six packs).

    And Fezool...try the Wal-Mart near Quail Springs. I THINK that's where I saw a bunch of both sets (look for the million 20th Anniversary Primes...since the Transformers are split into two sections...in two different aisles...). And, if you're desperate, go to the Toys R Us nearby. They aren't marked down to $7, but they've certainly got enough of them.

    That's the Wal-Mart I checked. They only had one of the two 6-packs. And those are Wal-Mart exclusives, the 6-pack TRU recieved has different mini-cons. I'm looking for the mini-cons which form the requiem blaster and skyboom shield.

    Target in MWC has Omega Supreme in stock. Also has Rodimus too if anyone is still looking for him.

    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)

    Target on SW 44 and Western has Omega Supreme and multiple Megatrons.

    I also went by the Wal-Mart on Santa Fe and I-240. They had multiple Ruination sets for $16, a few Sunstorms for $13, a single King Atlas for $13, and I managed to snag the only 20th Anniversary Prime for the low, low price of $30. Has everything, just box damage. Since I don't keep the boxes (I'm not a die-hard collector), it was certainly no big deal to me.

    Duncan Wal-Mart had Alt. Dead End, 2 Hounds, 2 Silverstreaks (one has been there awhile, before the other new ones showed up) this afternoon. Of course, the Dead End left with me. Lawton WM (on Sheridan) had the Universe Nemisis Strika and Fireflight deluxe items.
