    I just got back from the Walmart in Rosemead and they have an abundance of Alts Ravage and Rumble. For those of you who are looking for them, head on over there before people start taking them. I scooped up one of each for myself. :D  Feel free to ask for directions... :cool:

    The Story Rd. WM in SJ had a bunch of the new Alts. recently, but I bet they vanished within a few minutes. Stupid scalpers!

    Let's just say that the shelf where the Alts are suppose to be are stacked full of Alts, mostly Ravages and Rumbles. my guess is there are about 10 of each right now. I would go if i were u. it would be worth it. Give in to ur urges :lol

    I was gonna go today and scoop up a set for Cataclizm, but after reading his posts today, i'm scared he wouldn't wanna go walk to the mailbox to get them. GO GET THEM ALREADY! 25 miles takes about 20 minutes worth of driving time dude! You have spent more total time than that, checking the boards, asking people if they have seen them, and even waiting for the figs to even be out! STOP READING THIS, and GO GET THEM!!!!!!

    Found about 4.5 cases of Ravage and Rumble on the ground in the Santa Ana Walmart off of Macarthur. Picked up one full case and took an empty display box. Still 1.5 cases left on the floor. Another Transfan was there as I was and picked two cases up as well. They also have the Devastators here as well.

    25 miles is about 50 mins. each way in LA :) 

    Got mine at 4:10 (plus a S6 Shipwreck) - two each of Rumble & Ravage left.

    Where is this place? You aren't talking about the weekly Wed. and Sat. sale in Hayward in the warehouse, are you? If so, it's okay. I only went on day one and it sucked then, but I hear it's gotten better. Doubt you'll find many TFs, mostly MLs and such.

    Picked up Alt. Ravage and Rumble at the Oakland Wal-Mart on Thursday night. There was at least a full case on the shelf -- but the endcap was actually all Classics, not the new Alts. as was theorized.

    Rats, I should have looked at this thread sooner. I've gone to the Walmarts in Torrance and Lakewood all week and nothing. Anybody have any updated info?

    Hey Guys Thanks for the heads up on the Rosemead Walmart. I got lucky last night and picked up the last set of Rumble and Ravage that was on the self. I only live about 10 mins from there and never knew it was there.

    Well I also picked up the Constructicon Devastator set at the Norwalk Walmart off of Imperial and Pioneer (SP). They had about 5 left.

    Also checked Walmarts in Long Beach (off of Carson), Duarte, Baldwin Park, Glendora, and Upland. Nothing the last two days.

    Also at the Rosemead Walmart I was able to pick up the Cars Movie Moments Mike and Sulley finally.

    Can any one help me finding the movie moments Guido and Luigi in the race fans colors?

    Hawthorne TRU: :rip 

    Torrance Walmart: :rip 

    Torrance TRU: :rip 

    Torrance Target: :rip 

    But I did grab Alt Rumble & Ravage from Cat1 today. Big thanks again!

    And one of the regular toy hunters at Hawthorne TRU said the Norwalk Walmart will have plenty of Alt Rumble & Ravage today as well.
