    Austin, Highland Mall KB, I got the only Devestator there Whoo hoo. All six figures were there. Thankfully no kid had come in and had mommy buy him one figure b/c he just had to to have it, I dont' think I would have bought just 5 of them.

    No no no, I did NOT find anything new. Hah! :cool: 

    Yeah sorry for any excitement, but I'd figure I'd save some people a trip out to Walmart on 620. I just got back and they had a several boxes, but none of them looked suspicious.... except for one... and I couldn't check it out. It wasn't very big, and it would've been E basiscs or MAYBE alternators. It wasn't an "official" hasbro box either, but a generic Walmart one. (yes they can have TFs too)

    So anyways... HIGHLY doubt it had anything, but it's just a heads up! Besides.... Targets seem to have the combiners right now.

    San Marcos Target had two Meisters and a Tracks as of 9 am this morning. My buddy found a Meister yesterday morning at Ohlen Road Target (left it there) and ended up finding another one at the I-35/183 Walmart yesterday afternoon and bought it for me. These guys are showing up en masse now.

    3 Meisters, 2 Tracks, 2 Dead Ends and a buttload of Hounds found at Super Target, Skillman & Park in Dallas. Took 1 Meister and 1 Tracks. They also had TFU Nemesis Prime. I didn't get one because I am not into TF's that turn into animals, but I have to admit he is a bad ass looking mofo. I almost got him...

    I keep checking TRU to see if G1 Reissue Sideswipe is there. Seems that series has come to a screeching hault at Skids, even though the Skids box advertises Sideswipe. Does anyone have any idea why we're not getting Sideswipe?

    well I went by target at Peyton Gin and 183 and they DID have one of the combiner components. I didn't get it because I'm sure I'll get it cheaper eventually....

    Lots of nemesis primes too. walmart at 183 and I35 had nothing. damnit

    Target on MacArthur and 635 in Dallas had treadshot, Sledge, and duststorm.

    I left Dustorm.

    The Kohl's across the way has the battle in a box sets with Ultra magnus and the others. Can't think of their names right now. I wanted so much to take them home, but I wouldn't have had gas money. :(

    Austin folks, KB at Barton Creek had one set of the Constructicons as of about noon. There were three full sets, but I bought two, one for me, one for a buddy. They also had one each of the G1 Spychangers, minus OP.
    Only other place I went to was TRU south, which has Shockblast, Dreadwing and co., who I don't think I've seen there before, but that wave is pretty common by now.
    I was going to hit both KBs, but there wasn't any need after the first one. I was also looking for the GIJoe Crimson HISS exclusive..if anyone sees that at either KB, can you post a heads up here?
