    Went by target at RR today @ 1325 and I-35, they had towline, e hotshot, sharkticon, and slugslinger, off shoot and e strongarm. All are still there except for slugslinger :p  went looking for him and found him right away!! They also had a few Omegas but not at the cool price that city hunter got his for :(  anyway waiting for superlink version.

    Only 4 more days till we leave texas :(

    :eek: 

    Sooooo lucky...

    Went by there _today_ as well as RR Wal-Mart, which is what I'm reporting on... someone (or someones) has been hitting it pretty hard. Had some stuff in PL packaging, but all the new mold stuff was gone.

    Also, they had set out 2 new cases of Alternators, but both Dead Ends were already gone... :mad:  ... so there are still 4 Hounds and 2 Silverstreaks there. I know some people are still looking for these, so...

    Saw another slugslinger at TRU at lakeline today, the parmer one didnt have crap, and TRU also has that great sale, buy 2 get one free!! Skorpy and cron are 50% the green ticket price. Also at the lakeline TRU they have a TF display, and we correctly transformed everyone :lol  and put them in robot mode for fun!!

    The Scorps are finally discounted too? Geez, I need to get over to TRU. Hey, has anyone seen any Treadbolts? I remember seeing some, I just don't remember when. I can get a RID Ultra Magnus and a beat up Blitzwing from this guy for a Treadbolt.

    Target East Austin (right off I-35 around exit 237) had a ton of Treadbolts when I was there last week.

    Cool, thanks CH. Have you gone to the TRU sale yet? I just got back from there. I didn't see any green stickers, or any TFU Soundwaves or Shockblasts. I did pick up a Rodimus, Prowl, and Sharkticon, though.

    Which brings me to a question: When we're all going about our daily lives, and we all stop in at stores, and we see some things are gone, or that a place has been cleared out: Who's doing that? Is it a bunch of Moms buying for thousands of birthdays? Kids saving up their allowance money and skipping school to beat us out? Or are we all playing some sort of crazy game against each other as we all randomly pick fruit from the plastic ball and socket tree that is Transformers? Just something to think about.

    Thanks for the tip! I snagged the Dead End, a Silverstreak, & a Hound from there this afternoon. They still have at least four Streaks and four Hounds, as well as new Energon figures.

    I didn't get out to TRU Lakeline until 10, so I'd assume that BTC/CC snatched up the Dreadwings already. There were plenty of Op/Meg two packs. There was one Cliffjumper, one E. Ironhide and one Downshift. I took the last Towline and Shockblast. :buttrock :

    :banghead: 

    I went to Lakeline TRU yesterday afternoon and couldnt find jack!
    ... I ended _finally_ buying Ironhide and Jetfire (and getting an Armada Pants Prime, which I also didn't have, as the freebie).

    24 hours later a Shockblast has come and gone!!!

    S'okay, I'm going to go try and grab that Cliffjumper! :) 
    ... and I did get my OP/Megs 2-pack from Amazon today!

    Also, when I went by, the Ratchet and Hot Shot display bots were knocked over, but I set them back up. ;)  ... and out of the box in person, black Unicron actually looks pretty sweet, I must say. I also saw more people grabbing TFs than usual, even helped some people find what they were looking for.

    Austinites... be on the look out for Shockblast!

    Bought a Slugslinger at N.Austin Target (1 Tow-Line and 1 Sharkticon left).

    Grabbed that Cliffjumper from Lakeline TFU!! He's actually quite good, better than Ironhide and Jetfire, IMHO.

    So all that remains from that new Mega case is the Energon Ironhide... already warmin' the shelf with his pals. :ev:

    I took a trip down south to the TRU at S. Lamar and Ben White. Only thing of note are the PL Demolisher and Hot Shot. No Shockblast.
