    Spending the week in VA Beach, so I stopped by Lynnhaven TRU and found a whole new case of Beast Hunter Wave 1, FOC Wave 3(two full stes minus Kickback). Also picked up the last FE Bulkhead. I love coming back home around now, C-ville usually has nothing note worthy when I get a chance to hunt, but everytime I come home to VB, I hit paydirt. Magnus was tempting, but man hes just too small! FOC Starscream makes hime look Scout class size lol. :)  By the way, I left all the Beast Hunters stuff alone, so there should be one of everything there, and two Wheeljacks.

    Bailey's Xroads TRU has GDO Sandstorm, a couple MP Thundercrackers, and all of Beast Hunters wave 1 Deluxes (Soundwave, WJ, BB, and Laserback).

    Sadly no Soundblasters.

    Thanks for the heads up on FE Bulklhead. I went there tonight and picked one up!

    Also, I returned an FE Vehicon there while picking up the Bulkhead as I got him as a Christmas gift and already had him and the PRiD Vehicon if anyone is interested in picked him up.

    What time did you see that? I didn't see a single FE Optimus, thats the one I was really hoping to find, but I do love Bulky. I guess I was in there round 1:30 in the afternoon. Also there was one Air Raid, 2 Ultra Magnus, 2 or 3 Sideswipe, 2 Starscream, and one Kickback, I grabbed one of the starscreams and the kickback.

    Two sets of Beast Hunter deluxes at TRU Kingstowne. Thought about picking up Soundwave just for the Ravage and tossing the figure but decided against it.

    Went to Military TRU and picked up Ultra Magnus and Power dive who i've had hidden since Thanksgiving...

    When I got there at opening, there was a full case of FOC Deluxes, but 2 guys ran in and bought 1 of each and a soundwave..

    There was 2 soundblasters, 5 soundwaves, 1 FE vehicon left after the 3 of us was done..and plenty of the decepticon data discs

    So...not that anybody's been looking, but has anybody seen any Rescue Bots? They'd be for my 2-yr-old daughter. Specifically, I'm looking for Heatwave and Blades.

    I promise, they're NOT for me.

    I'll probably pick up the new molds and skip the old ones with additional spiky pieces.

    Initially I was going to pick up a few. Cyberverse Commanders sure. Voyager Optimus for sure, MAYBE Predaking. Dunno. I want to see the Weaponizers, Bumblebee, Optimus and especially Ultra Magnus.

    Saw the deluxes in person. Soundwave looks...WTF....and THAT tiny ass brown plastic contraption is Ravage? The hell?

    Bumblebee has stupid eyes, Lazerback is very bright, and Wheeljack looks different. Hell homeboy is the Wolverine of the team so it was a given his figure was going to be bad ass. You can tell someone on the design team saved more of the budget for him even in the 1st RiD wave as his figure suffers the least hollowness compared to his wavemates.

    I dunno. I hope the Beast Hunters cartoon kicks ass but so far the stuff just looks weird. Prime looks cool but he usually does.

    I am hoping the GDO stuff and MP10 start to show up more at stores. I don't think a lot of the TRU's got a the amount they actually wanted. Around here the FE voyagers only showed up the week OF Christmas and the GDO deluxes have barely been seen. Voyagers came and went. Scouts and Legends were prevalent up until Xmas.

    Around here too, FE Optimus outsold Bulkhead. I think kids and parents alike were probably like "hey WAIT this one looks BETTER than that one with the blue glowstick!". Eric Siebenaler FTW, I miss his designs!

    Skipping the beasties means more money for Macross and 3rd party stuff. :D

    Chesterfield TRU has all the Beast Hunters. Also found FoC Ultra Magnus, but that was the only figure from wave 3.

    I met a guy here a few weeks ago who gets 2 of everything: one to open and one to store sealed. I'm betting he grabbed most of the new FoC deluxes.

    Has anyone visited any "Market Six" stores to see if IRON CLAW or AIRLIFT are there?
