    Any good clearances in and around Waukesha / Milwaukee. Pimpimus' haul over the last few days has me jealous!

    Also, not sure if anyone found this thread http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...tm-mechtech-deluxe-crankcase-callback-17.html but it gives you a better chance of finding a Crankcase with the fingers intact. I've been building a small army (2 for 2) and have had luck with the case number 10561 (it's stamped at the bottom of the back of the box). There were a bunch with that number at the Franklin Walmart on 27th.

    A few more Target clearance deals for me today from the Appleton West store -
    Battle in Space set - $4.98
    Deluxe Tomahawk - $2.98
    A couple of Legends(Sandstorm,Override) for $1.24 each
    I saw a couple of the PCC two-packs for $2.48,but passed on them because they're just the re-paint ones.

    I also stopped at the Shopko at the Northland Mall and they had 3 Leader Starscreams for $23.99,one Battle in Space set for $12.49,and all the HFTD Deluxes are $7.99.

    The Appleton West Walmart still hasn't done their re-set,but they have plenty of the DOTM Deluxes and Voyagers on a display.I didn't see any Shockwave or Skyhammer.I checked all the Crankcases and they all had the same number on them(10601),which is apparently the clipped version.

    Target and Walmart in Oshkosh had the same shit that they did on Monday. No Crankcases, and no Skyhammers or Shockwaves. I went to Walmart in Fond du lac and picked up a Crankcase(with the fingers intact!), and Skyhammer. I passed on Shockwave in case they make a leader class version, and I don't like his alt-mode much. So for now I'm actually done with DOTM toys unless I decide to buy leader Sentinel Prime. Haven't made up my mind on that yet.

    Do you still have the card back for Crankcase to check what the number is on the back?

    I do. I'll try and remember to check it tonight. Otherwise they had multiple Crankcases at the Fondy Walmart, so I'm betting you've got a good chance of getting a non-clipped one there.

    Just stopped at the Monona Wal Mart. They have about 3 each of Shockwave and Skyhammer. Just be careful about the Shockwaves, one had been opened and was missing his cannon and his sword. There was a Sentinel Prime there in similar fashion. Kinda depressing that people are still doing this sort of crap.

    Does anyone in the Milwaukee area need a Crankcase? I have 6 of them. They all have the same barcode. I opened on and it has clipped FU fingers. So they might be clipped.

    Someone there should be alerted to this. But what can they really do?

    Yeah I saw that one last week -- almost walked out of the store with him too. Maybe someone wanted their Shockwave to dual wield his sword/cannon combo. Got tired of driving around looking for these guys so I just broke down and ordered them off Amazon lol
