    Grimwing and Sandstorm are on my hunt list! So far, haven't seen then anywhere in Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Ahwatukee, or Tempe.

    I imagine you'll come across Sandstorm soon if they're shipping him 4 to a box.

    Sandstorm is only 2 per a case repacked with Springer and blitz.

    Who knows they do a foc soundwave and do a revision case of 4.

    They need to do that with foc grimlock lol

    Sorry, my bad. Don't know why I thought he was four. Still 2 to a case means that, hopefully, he'll saturate the market rather quickly and we can all grab one.

    As long as the call is going out from other members, please snag me a Sandstorm also if you come across one. I'm willing to meetup and will even pay a bit over retail for your troubles. Thanks!

    It's strange that the Targets and Walmarts here in my neck of the woods seem to always be the last to get stuff. granted their TF sections are super tiny these days lol

    I will be hunting the 60/101/202 (south) area on my lunch. Still hunting for Sandstorm and Grimwing.

    I will post my findings during the 12 o'clock hour.

    Looking forward to seeing what you're able to come up with. My searches lately at local Target's and WM's have yielded absolutely bupkiss.

    Just picked up Beast Hunters Ultimate Optimus Prime at the TRU on 54th/Ray. He's $60 as various threads have mentioned he would be. Haven't had time to open him or give him a proper 'maiden voyage', but looks alone tell me this is going to be a... *AHEM*... beast of a figure. Looks fantastic! And for anyone asking, they had one left but in a crushed box. A guy was holding him and thinking it over as I left, but I'm not sure if he went for it. He could still very well be there.

    Oh and I also asked about Sandstorm, as Thurs' are typically TRU's restock day. Nothing. Also not seeing the NECA Pacific Rim or Aliens figures which I know are out currently. If anyone finds Kaiju Knifehead or the Alien from the Aliens figure sets, please let me know.

    Anybody in Phoenix/AZ want one of my spare Botcon sets? Coming home on Monday and thought I'd offer it to the locals first. Comes complete with all five figures + comic + certificate + 24 hour pin. Looking to sell at cost.

    Glad to see they're hitting pretty uniformly. Hopefully the asking price will keep him around a bit longer than Sandstorm apparently, for those who are chomping at the bit to get one.
