    Walmart in Coon Rapids has CD Red Alert, Evac, Leobraker, and over in front of Sporting Goods a Display of Basics on one side and the NEW Deluxes on the other. For those collecting Cybertron I wish you well, they have had the bomb dropped on them.

    Yes. All of the above. I was just there and I saw them for myself.

    Be careful of which ones you pick if you go because they were not handled that well. There is what seems to be dried chocolate milk all over a few of them and some of the plastic has been pressed down hard and has punctured slightly. Sheesh Walmart stockers :rolleyes: 
    They are on a shelf in the middle of the aisle between sports and toys.
    I recall last year CR walmart was one of the first to get the Energon basic pallet.
    Now it seems they to are the first to get these. That store must move alot of product. and if the pattern holds true,Eagan walmart should have theirs out shortly. I will report back.

    Awesome. Only a matter of days (hopefully) before they start showing up in the northern burbs.

    Heres a tip for those in the East metro.
    I was at Woodbury TRU late last nite and they were completly out of Transformers,
    save the 20 or so Ricochets they have been sitting on for months,
    so I went and talked to the stock dude and he had told me that they had a truck in and were going to restock overnite. You know what that means! You're Welcome and pay it forward,Please.;)

    are there any Toys R Us in the area that still have Optimus Prime? I want to get it with my $5 coupon this week, but both the Minnetonka & Blaine stores are out of both OP and Megatron...

    EDIT: Oh, yeah, and Minnetonka has one each of Cybertron Swindle & Swerve, and the Blaine Walmart has two Brimstones.

    They must have been busy with other restocking last night, they haven't restocked Transformers yet. The place was nuts today, it has to be their biggest week of the year.

    DAGNABBIT! The small bots I can wait for but my decepticon forces desperatly need a leader! When they do decide to restock TF's, they better put out at least four Galvatrons!
    Thanks for checking Fosterlager. :thumb

    MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

    Uhm, Actually that would be West St. Paul. Anyways, at least Walmarts are getting them in so we can put them on layaway.
