    I hope that Vehicons become easier to find as well. As for the Joes movie, since the Rock is supposed to be a full time wrestler again, maybe this will give them time to put the title back on him in order to promote the movie more and the wwe?

    The Rock is not gonna be a full wrestler anymore ( although i wish he would) he will prolly only do stuff around wrestlemania to sell tickets and thats prolly it.

    Went on another hunt for a Vehicon. No dice, but I did manage to find Prime Commander Ironhide and Dreadwing at Target on 1604 and Culebra. Snagged the only ones. Also checked the Walmart across the street and they had a Hotshot and Arcee, but nothing else new Transformers. They also had the exclusive Avenger Marvel Universe sets.

    They got another FE BB blaster at the Ross here in Waco, other than that nothing of note at Ross, Marshall's, Big Lots, Target or Valley Mills Walmart. Still no sign ANYONE has gotten wave 3 at all (and I've hardly seen much of wave 2 for that matter).

    One thing I noticed is that while I still see Jacks on the pegs every so often I haven't seen Soundwaves around here since right around the time they came out. I'm glad I got mine when I did.

    Oooh, my bad. I guess I read too much into his promo the night after Wrestlemania when he said he was going for the title. :S Oh well.

    Went to Round Rock Wal-Mart on I-35 before work this morning. Nothing to report.

    After work went to RR Target on I-35 and they have a sea of Bees. Better grab one before they run out! They also had a couple Cliffys and Wheeljacks, a Ratchet and one Voyager OP and one Megatron.

    Man I should start frequenting that Hewitt Walmart. Though hopefully them getting wave 3 means Bellmead got Wave 3 (since I only need a Vehicon, already have KO).

    Just bought the 6 inch Avengers Loki and Thor on eBay for $34 each including shipping. I'm tired of looking for them. I think I made over 30 Wal Mart store visits this week looking for those damn things.

    If anyone wants to sell me a Hulk or Hawkeye, I'll buy em for $34 (including shipping).

    I didn't want to pay that much either, but then I thought about the $65 it took me to fill my car this week, and the fact that I used over a half a tank of gas looking for these things, and figured I'd have to spend even more in gas continuing to look for them. I think I'll come out ahead if I just pay the scalper prices.

    Also, if people are going out of their way to find and scalp these figures, they must need the money more than me, so I look at it like I'm helping them out.

    Obviously I'd rather pay $16 for them, but with the popularity of the movie, Walmart's dumbass ordering and lack of restocking, and the fact that I always seem to show up 1 or 2 days late after a restock, I'm just not confident that I'll find them at retail.

    There's no way I would make that jump. Last years Thor and Cap 6" exclusive lines were all over pretty much every Walmart I ever stumbled into after the first month or so of crazy died down. I expect this situation to be no different. If these things are still hard to find by mid July I'll be completely shocked.

    I thought about that too, but what worries me is the fact that the Cap and Thor movies weren't even close to being as popular as the Avengers movie is. Look at all the 3.75 inch Thor and Cap figures still on pegs. Now look at how empty the pegs are in many stores for Avengers figures. You've got a lot of casual collectors and non collectors buying Avengers toys. I don't know, I hope you're right. I'd like to be able to find the Hulk and Hawkeye at retail.

    Guys, guys... This is a Transformers sighting thread :lol 
    Just kidding, The Marshall's on Fairmont in Pasadena had a HA Roadbuster for $16, Target across the street had squat (after I picked up Hot Shot). Surprisingly not as bad as I thought he would be :thumb 
    Wal Mart on Fairmont and Spencer are also dry.

    This was at a Walmart, I forget which one.
    If you can't tell, he's missing his head.
    All that's left is the joint.

    i can prolly tell you why some of the figures especially the voyager and even leader figures are missing there heads. Customizers that are only looking at figure to get the head to use on another figure i think they are reaching their finger in the window and popping it off and taking it for a custom so they wont have to buy a figure to complete theirs. this is my theory on this becuase you really dont see this to often on deluxe figure unless you open it all the way.
