    Still haven't seen Wheeljack anywhere, but the GA Transfans group has had several sightings so I'm confident I'll find it soon.

    I did finally find Dead End and Meister/Jazz at a Wal-Mart up in Commerce, GA of all places. The boxes were a little damaged, but I'm not complaining since I was going to take them out of the box anyway.

    Tracks is the only older release that I still want/need.

    Cybertron has hit the Peach State!!!

    If anyone is in the NorthPoint Mall TRU area, they had 2 Megs, 1 Scourge, 4 Jetfires, and 3+ each of Vector Prime and Scattorshot as of 7:45PM. I have a picture with my Op. Prime with reciept, along with pics of the shelves, but I dunno how to get the pic into the post... :banghead:  Any help on that would be appreciated. And the pics are from my cameraphone, so not the best quality, but good enough.

    Found some Cybertron at the Town Center TRU today. They had Jetfire, Crumplezone, Ransack, Scattorshot, Landmine, Thundercracker, Dirt Boss, that little green SUV-lookin' dude and probably one or two more I'm forgetting.

    The Toys R Us in Warner Robins has restocked its shelves with Cybertron. There was 1 Alternator Swerve, which I picked up :)

    Finally found Swerve at TRU near the Mall O'GA on Monday. Still looking for Tracks and Decepticharge, and my brother needs Swerve, Tracks, Wheeljack, and Dead End to complete his collection.

    And all the Cybertron toys have been in all the Walmarts I've been in recently, except that I still haven't seen the new Op. Can't say I actually care much for what I've seen of the new line -- the color schemes are gaudy. I'll probably only get Starscream and Op, and maybe Megs whenever he goes on clearance.

    Turns out Cybertron Optimus wasn't as rare as I believed -- stores just hadn't put them out yet. I bought mine at the new Lawrenceville WMT, which as of yesterday didn't even have a TF section, oddly enough. I happened to see Op up on the riser. Otherwise, they only had a couple Alts and no other TFs that I could find.

    The WMT on Collins Hill (in L'ville) at least has a TF section, but it's a mix of Energon and Cybertron stuff. Still have 2 Ops and 2 Megs left as of Tuesday. No Starscreams.

    The Norcross Target and TRU have set their toy depts for the fall, and have all the Cyberton toys currently (except Clocker -- fans must really like it, apparently, because they'll all bought up) -- even Op, Megs, and Starscream. Also got to see Jetfire for the first time yesterday, and he's definitely on my wanted list now. Very nice design.

    looking for some help

    Hello GA transformers fan.

    I will be down there in the early part of october. I collect gen 1 and the alt line. If Any collector knows of any good stores in the fort benning area that sells the old transfromers. That could tell me the name of the store. Or if there are any collector in that area that sell parts out of there home. Any help would be great thanks Jim

    Yeah, I would also like to know any stores, i.e. hobby stores, comic book stores, that might also sell Alternators. Address and telephone numbers would be good.

    Thanks Again..

    You might as well snag a two pack if you want a Smoke Screen. Even if you e-bay the other figure for $5, you have made back some $$ since a loose SS will cost you $20 while the 2 packs also cost $20.

    Quick, hit the wal-marts.
    I have seen several of the two-packs of smoke screen and sideswipe (or ravage) on clearance for $10.00!!!

    As for tracks....the last time I saw him was about a month ago at a K-B outlet. The box was thrashed....

    Meister....I haven't seen hide nor hair of in quite a long time.....

    Oops.....almost forgot.
    The target in snellville has shockwave for those interested.

    Hey Voiceroy....you are right about optimus...he is all over the place now. Well...except the new Lawrenceville Wal-Mart. (Which, by the way, has quite possibly the worst toy department in all of the Atlanta area right now....if you like TFs or Star Wars at least....I hope this changes, as a matter of fact I know it will as Christmas approaches.)
