    Dammit dammit dammit. I just called the West Bend Wal Mart, and they no longer have it. This is really ticking me off. If anyone finds Mirage within 50 miles of Sheboygan, could they hide it for me or something??

    They've been doing the same thing at my store. I've become a bit of a policewoman with them; I've moved the SW stuff BACK to the SW pegs four or five times now. I THINK they're finally catching on. :D 

    Nothing terribly new there at Appleton East. Still haven't seen any new Alternators, etc. etc. etc.

    Sheboygan Wal Mart, Sheboygan Target, Plymouth Wal Mart.... Nothing new. All of the new deluxes if anyone is still looking, and all of the new 3" Titaniums.

    This may come as a bit of a shock.... NO F#$@*!!$# MIRAGE. I just lost out on (another) eBay auction because I wouldn't pay double. GAHH!!! Anyone able to help out here?

    I woudl say jsut keep on the stores. The Wal Mart I was at had just 2 Meisters and a Tracks today, hence there was another Mirage and Prime since I was there last.

    On the way home from the Dells, I stopped at a few stores in Baraboo. The Sears Grand (Kmart) up there had wave 3 of the 3" Tits. I grabbed the Ark but BW Primal and Cybertron Megatron are still there. The Walmart had a case of Ultras with Menasor as well as GF Optimus. Is Optimus' face supposed to be all black? On the back of the box, his nose seems to at least be silver, but the one I saw wasn't painted at all.

    Well, I swung by Walmart and Target East Friday night, nothing new, but I finally broke down and bought Primus. Got the nifty Unicron head with him too.

    Target in Port Washington had 6" Titanium WW Optimus and Megatron, along with one giant planet minicon (which I hid in the back of the rack on the pegboard). Nothing else notable there or at the Saukville Walmart.

    Oh yes. No Mirage.

    As a side note, I was checking the boards in Michigan (from where I moved), and one of the guys there found Mirage today at my usual Wal Mart haunt. Just f%@$ing peachy.

    Well, I just got off of eBay. $34.44 shipped for Mirage. I justify it two ways 1) I won't have to annoy the rest of you and 2) the money I'll save in gas and medication will far exceed the $13 I spend extra.

    I hit the Madison TRU today. The only thing I found was Fred hanging out in the TF aisle. I almost didn't recognize him without the goatee or beard. They totally redid the action figure section. The islands are gone and have been replaced by traditional aisles. Seeing one whole side of an aisle full of TF's and Star Wars almost brings a tear to your eye.

    I know!! I've been hitting the stores here in and near Troy for the past 6 weeks I've been going like every few days and have not even SEEN any new Alts except for a Miester and that was during my first week here. I was hoping to at least find one for either you or somone on the DTF boards. :(

    TF-wise except for the 3" titaniums, yeah... At least on Saturday. There were tons of new Star Wars figures and such though, and sure enough there was a guy buying one or two or who knows how many of everything.

    Thanks for thinking of me. I'm flying back to corporate HQ in Dearborn for a conference tomorrow, staying for a couple of days. I'll try to hit up some places in my old stomping grounds downriver (rental car :D ) Anything I should be looking for?
