    Didn't get to meet everyone out today because of being called into work unexpectedly :(  .... after work i ran a couple errands a saw a couple things while i was out.

    Target Matthews has FOC minimus prime but no other deluxes, both weaponizers, the remote control one, and optimus maximus(is that what it's called? i can't remember - but the large one meant to hold cyberverse figures).

    Although product selection can vary widely from one costco to another, the costco in matthews has started to carry kreo's available in two packs. There are currently two different versions of the two packs there. One two pack has Megatron and Sideswipe, and the other two pack has starscream and prowl. The pricing on either is $21.99 per two pack.

    Unrelated to transformers costco is also carrying something in the lego line called ninjago 3n1 super pack where it appears that there are 3 whole lego toys in one box including I believe 7 little lego guys and a whole set of associated weapons all in the same box. They are priced at $45.99 per box.

    That is correct. If it was voyager/powerizer we would have some big news on our hands.

    I see that the first wave of the Kreo Micro-Changers are out. Keep your eyes open.

    omg, the Bumblebee invasion is ALL over NC!!! I went to the Wal-Marts in GSO, Burlington, Mebane, and Hillsboro today, and all i could find were Bumblebees. Now I can't remember which was which, but :
    -at one WM they had the BB Kre0 on sale for $5, and ALL 2 dozen were BB, no OP who shares the same small size box.
    -at another WM they had 3 different movie BBs, several of each, and a ratchet sandwiched in there.
    -and of course at most of them they had half to a full dozen TFP Bumblebees.
    I know we were worried a few years about the disappearance of bees all over North America, but c'mon Hasbro! This is NOT the solution!
    I saw no Vehicons a those places, nor the other random places i popped into, and TRU in GSO and Durham, and Target in Durham, and no Shockwaves either.
    ROSS in High Point had some really cheap Kre-o TF sets, and if you like the little TFs, they had 4 different sets of those little TFs(Cyberverse?) with playsets/battle bases.

    Cary TRU - I missed the Magnus at some point. 1 Nightwatch Prime left.
    Cary Target - I missed another Magnus at some point. 2 Ironhides and 2 Nightwatch Primes, plus the RC cars, Op Max, Weaponizers, etc. Oh, and the Avengers crossover jumpstarters.

    Hit a bunch of stores today. Ones with nothing interesting: wesley chapel target, wal mart indian trail, wal mart monroe, ross monroe, and tru carolina place. I should mention that I'm not counting the rc cars, the weaponizers, or optimus maximus as interesting because they're all already shelfwarming it seems.

    I picked up the only FOC shockwave at target monroe. They have two each of the other FOC figures there.

    Target Matthews has every cyberverse comm figure other than ultra magnus including dreadwing, ironhide, and so on....

    The Marshall's at Costwold(near rebel base)has a leader ironhide but nothing else worth noting. I should note here rebel base got a ton of stuff in since I was there last. A TON. I ended up picking of an animated electrostatic soundwave but not sure I'm gonna keep it because my girlfriend kind of talked me into it when I wasn't sure to begin with.

    TJ Maxx Monroe has basic human alliance decepticon drag strip(which I haven't seen around much). They also have a good selection of generations and dotm deluxes including deluxe roadbuster(the original green one).

    Edit: Wesley Chapel Target has a real problem on their hands in regards to generations figures. As has been noted in this forum on multiple occasions, they have somewhere around around 10 or so generations sargeant kups leftover -- so they haven't received any of the new FOC line as far as I can tell - and I'm guessing they probably won't until all those kups eventually sell for $14.99 per piece.

    Asheboro walmart has wave 4 of the botshots.

    Also, they have removed the pegs for their deluxe class figures. Not completely sure what's up with that.

    Nothing new or special at Southpoint Target. It did, however, look like somebody attacked the deluxe figures. Maybe it's all these sightings of Vehicons there, three in one month that has caused everyone to go rabid.

    I had checked Southpoint as well yesterday, and Garner White Oak Target. It was the same story.

    Today I went with tabtiurf over to Cary TRU, Target, and Walmart. Bsutton's report of Shockwave was still accurate, but they only had one left. They did however have a voyager Starscream and Bulkhead. The TRU and Walmart though were pathetic. Tab asked about stock in the back. The clerk went and looked and it's all open cases with nothing but Bumblebees left.

    The only way to combat this rampant crap is for Hasbro to actually case assort in a manner that everyone will get the figures. I know I'm beating a dead horse.

    Anybody went by the Morrisville Walmart? This past Thursday they were doing some resets and moving the stocks around.
