    Now i hope Breacher comes out in Canada soon, Insecticon isn't as interesting but may pick it up. Oil Pan is most likely a pass, though i like the mold and deco.

    What's a Market Basket, Winn Dixie or Shaws? Is that like a Price Chopper or Hannaford? ;)

    Kroger markets their grocery stores under a ton of names across the nation. You may know it better as King Soopers, City Market, or Smith's.

    If anyone else is curious if they have a Kroger-owned grocery store nearby:

    What kind of sucks is that he was found at an odd store. That means when he's sighted at Walmart it won't be "news" and so won't be front-paged.

    I got two Insecticons in our delivery today at the Kroger store in Oxford, Ohio. I was hoping to see Breacher in there, but no luck.

    Neat idea. A black and purple repaint in legion would make a decent Swarm ala All Hail Megatron

    Now I want all the Krogers around here to change their name to "King Soopers". That's a MUCH more entertaining name.




    What? Oh, yeah. Yay for Insecticon, too.

    Kroger is one of our clients at work. They have a TON of different brands and it gets particularly challenging to do a lot of the stuff for them that they ask because of it. But, we manage to get it done. They also own Fred Meyer in the Pacific NW. There have been a few first sightings over the last few years with them.

    LOL, looked at the first item on that receipt and thought it said 'Blowup Girl'

    Still not 100% on Insecticon yet, not keen on beast modes who's transformation is basically 'straighten it up, 2 legs stay as legs and 2 become arms and you're done'

    Although if I get him I suspect he'll stay in bug mode along side Skorpy anyways.
