    Still haven't been lucky enough to find Leader Starscream anywhere, but the Toys R Us in Olathe by the Great Mall has all the other HFD figures- deluxe, voyager, and legends. Anyone been able to find HA Mudflap, or am I going to assume the little guy doesn't exist? :D

    I've given up on finding HA Mudflap anywhere. K-Mart has him in stock online occasionally, but considering that I'm moving *somewhere* at the end of the month and don't know where, I've gotta wait on ordering him.

    Don't order him from kmart.com They don't really have him, they just ship out random figures to fill his order or cancel it entirely. There's been quite a lot of talk about that.

    Does the site to store cost anything extra? And does Walmart hold the item in store until you arrive, or is it like if they get enough requests, they will ship a box of the figures?

    Unless it has changed, site to store is free. The way it is supposed to work is when you place the order they ship it to the store of your choosing, and then you go pick it up. I've only used it once and it wasn't quite as smooth as I would have liked...however, I believe the service was still in beta at the time.

    How was the time between order and shipment? I am only going to be in Wichita for another two weeks.

    Unfortunately, that was the portion that was not smooth. For reasons unknown to me, it took months. However, I wouldn't let that detour you. Generally people report receiving the porduct in store in a number of days. I havn't needed to use the service since, and that was years ago. It didnt help that it was on a not typically stocked product.

    I purchased on 7/17/10, and got notification today that my order has shipped. It says that the order "should arrive by 8/3/10," but I have a feeling that it will be sooner than that. I have nothing to base that on, though.

    I think I will just wait to get the figures. Transformers has a VERY small following back home, so I know I will be able to get Drift then. Thanks for all the comments. When I head back to my college town after home, all there is is is Walmart, so I will definitely take advantage of the site to store then.

    MP Grimlock is going to be a TRU exclusive, and the website says it will retail (list) at 100. but preorder started lastnight on the website for the fig at 60 bucks plus free shipping! it was 64 with tax but i can deal with that.... I'm a fan of TRU on facebook and they announced it on there yesterday, I jumped on it really fast... I got my email today confirming my preorder, so they day itz released in stores, 8/15, it will be on my doorstep!! Wichita always gets stuff slow so its nice to get it fast!

    If anyone is looking for him, TRU Wichita had HTFD Seaspray at 5:30 pm. They also have a pretty good stock on PCC 2-packs now. Sadly, no new Generations figures, which I guess is good because I just pre-ordered the Galvatron, Hot Rod, and Cyclonus set on BBTS, which will set me back.

    Well, if you get really desperate-drift and thrust are both listed on HTS and TRU websites. TRU also has free shipping right now on orders over $49, so if you plan on getting mp grimlock also, it may be worth it. As I type this, I remember you saying you are leaving wichita soon...so maybe that wouldn't work for you.

    I personally got tired of driving up to tru only to leave empty handed so I simply ordered drift and thrust...shipping cost less then what I was spending in gas.

    I'm quite tempted by that 3 pack. I don't necessarily need another of any of the figures, but it wouldn't hurt ot have another hot rod and cyclonus.

    Honestly, I only got back into Transformers with Animated, so I missed out on these figures, and I really need a Hot Rod with the Fansproject Protector supposedly coming out this holiday. Considering that a henkei version of Hot Rod sells for about the same price as the whole set, this works out pretty well.
