    Thank you for clarifying your position. If you would like, I can pick up a Breakdown for you the next time I see one.

    Now if we all could get a vehicon...sigh. Anyway- picked up voyager Starscream at the watertown kmart. never before have I been so meh about a figure. FE just does it so well. This one, not so much. Also, nothing but wave 1 in Torrington WM and Target as well.

    I just got that overwhelming "meh" feeling from knockout. Found him and hot shot at The shelton Walmart. Have to say, I think I like hot shot the best out of the two. Someone beat me to the Vehicon, though. Gr.

    Grabbed Cyberverse Arcee and Breakdown last night. Was surprised to see them since I haven't seen any new Cyberverse at that Target since they replaced all but 2 (1 Commanders, 1 Legions) of the Cyberverse pegs with BotShots.

    I dunno, I really like Voyager Starscream. Not that the FE isn't a really good toy, but I just think the voyager pulls off the character slightly better and is a better scale for him.

    Imo, the deluxe actually has a more show accurate scale as compared to the other figs. Anyway, I can't speak for anyone else, but holding voyager scream in hand just gave me an "ok...so that's it?" Feeling. Meanwhile, knockout is pretty genuinely disappointing. Such a small car, such an awkward robot that just doesn't quite work in any pose, and such a lousy paint job, made more annoying by the fact that all those pins are such a pain to remove/replace, I don't know if I'll even bother fixing him.

    Lots and lots of Bot Shot Wave 2 at Bristol Target.

    Other than that, rather slow round this area.

    That store is physically in Bristol. Yes I suppose they call it Southington, like they call New Britain Target "Hartford Target".

    But yes, that one.

    There was a Voyager Starscream at the Torrington Walmart as of last night. Other than that things are pretty uninteresting out this way.

    I'm guessing it was Walmart since there is no Target or TRU in Wallingford?

    don't know if this really counts as a "sighting", but my local walmart has shelf tags up for the cyberverse vehicles at $19.97 ea. they were listed on the new planogram there, as well. so, hopefully we'll be seeing those very soon.

    waterbury walmart has 2X knockout and hot shot. Which means, at one point, there were also 2 vehicons. dammit!
