    I was at BigLots in the Springs yesterday. I didn't see any transformers there at all. On another note, would somebody be willing to pick up a G1 Sideswipe for me? I could pay cash in person or through paypal. Also spotted 2 Alt Wheeljack at TRU down here.

    Thanks for the heads up on Red Alert Mag. jr.

    I have a bad case of insomnia so I decided to call around at the Wal-Marts. Well I took a chance on the Flat Irons store and they had one left. I was able to scrounge up enough and was able to get him. Mine has the "Red Alert" box. Is this one to keep in the box or should I just open him?
    I also noticed that in the story on the back it talks about him returning to Cybertron to help cleanse it of the Terrorcon infestation. :huh What is this about Terrorcons? What do they look like? Anyone got any ideas?

    Hi guys, been a while...

    1x Leobreaker @ Thornton WM. (Probably not there now, but who knows.)

    I've moved and all set up (all except by bed and my Transformers).

    Christoph: I'd leave him in the box if the box is really nice, and look for a "CDF" version to open. The box mine came in was mostly hosed (dented, wrinkled, etc.) so I opened it. He's pretty damn cool, one of my favorite Cyb toys. I can't wait to get CDF Scattorshot and Hot Shot whenever they come out.

    Accidental, several-days-apart double post:

    Wal-Mart on 47th & 10th (Greeley) has 2 Ultra Red Alerts, both in the variant box, and 2 Evacs. I also found a Brushguard at Loveland Target, and snagged him, for some reason; they also have 2 each of Wreckloose, 2 each of Evac, and at least 1 of the Street Speed Mini Cons.

    KB Toy Liquidators in the Loveland Outlet Mall now has about 15-20 of the Sideswipe reissue, up front with the last of the Energon stuff they haven't been able to get rid of yet, along with a bunch of KOs. No sign of the Micromaster trains yet.

    Couldn't sleep last night so I went out to pick up some W.I.C. stuff for my boys. I went to the Westminster Wal Mart and decided to check out the toys.

    SCORE!!!!!!

    Brimstone x3 (now 2 :)  )
    Thunderblast x3 (now 2 :)  )
    Crosswise x3 (now 2 :)  )

    Yep they are definatly here, so good hunting all. I would post pics but I am still having trouble trying to figure out how to do it.

    I am going to talk to my friend at KB and see if he had any idea on the mini trains.

    Thanks for the advice Mag. I am currantly looking to get the other CDRA and putting my other one up.

    Probably because Walmart doesn't carry them any more.

    in colo springs,

    tuesday morning had a quickchange sixbuilder ko that i picked up (the only one). i don't know if they are going to get more micromasters in, but this one looks pretty good.

    8th st walmart has a few ultra red alerts and pretty much all the other wal marts have plenty of the cybertron defense red alerts. powers wal mart had brimstone and crosswise.

    tru has wave one of the exclusive minicons

    Wal Marts will not carry Alt's untill next year. I do not remeber all the details as to why this is, but next year we should see Alts around Wal Mart again. I am sure if you look in the previous news threads you should be able to find the story. Untill then it is TRU, Target, or Eplanet Toys for all you Alternator needs.

    Fruitless sighting search:

    Ft. Collins Wallyworld: Harmony & Mason

    1x non-CDF Red Alert (so far this version is more common)
    and buttloads of the *previous* wave of deluxes... I'm sick of seeing Snarl and Runamuck...

    Ft. Collins Target:

    Here's why I'm sick of Snarl. They have EIGHT. Yep, 8 Snarls. The only other deluxes they have are a Runamuck and a Longrack. Snarl seems to be the only Cyb. toy to rival Crumplezone for unpopularity.

    Ft. Collins TRU:

    They have a ton of the Decepticharge wave of Alts; at least two of DC, three Shockblasts, and two Wheeljacks. If you're missing any of these, get over there fast; they're still on sale for $16.99 and are selling quickly. They also finally got in the Minicon battle packs, but I didn't bother with them. Curiously, they have no settings for deluxes; they've just now gotten rid of the last Energon deluxes, which may be one reason why (the others are now all basic settings, so I guess they're resetting on the fly). They also have a ton of the Starscream vs. Vector Prime 2-pack.

    No sign of any of the new deluxes yet, due to the local stores either A) overstocking the previous wave (Wal-Mart) or B) selling deluxes at a fairly scary rate (local Target).

    The Loveland Wal-Mart has a whole crap load of Cybertron toys out on the main aisle now--a dump bin just full of new deluxe and basic goodness. They're going extremely fast, except for Thunderblast; I got one of the only 2 Crosswises they still had.

    For some reason nobody wants Red Alert, either; he's now the only Ultra they still have. I'm sure he'll get snagged in the run up to Christmas.

    I was out today in the middle of the shopping madness. To my surprise, the Wal-Mart on Platte had 10th Anniversary Beast Wars figures and ALTs.

    They had:
    3x BW Cheetor
    2x BW Rhinox
    1x BW Waspinator

    1x Alt Skids (snagged!)
    1x Alt Tracks

    Was very surprised since I didn't expect Alts until early next year!
