    Mission Viejo Target had the usual TF items, large scale Brawls and Megatron as well as the other sizes.

    For the 25th anniv. Joes, all they had were Buzzers.

    Found a large number of the Walmart Exclusives at the Walmart in Oceanside today. Where other Walmarts have them on the endcap as reported earlier, they have theirs on an island display located adjacent to the Transformers aisle. Bought myself a Jolt and a Grindcore. Both are awesome.

    They also had three Incinerators and a few Evacs as well.

    Mission Viejo TRU has som Nightwatch Primes and Desert Brawls.

    For Joes they have the single-pack Duke, Scarlett and Buzzer. They also have the SS vs. SE (battle wear-type) as well.

    Laguna Walmart just has Desert Brawls, Evac and Serpentor.

    At a Walmart in Rosemead I saw many of the exclusive Wal-mart Robot heroes 5 pack. I also saw some Deluxe Classic Camaro Bumblebees, Deluxe Autobot Jazz, First Strike Optimus, Nightwatch Optimus Prime, Deep Desert Brawl, Screen battles (except capture of Bumblebee), a bunch of AllSpark Battles 2 packs.

    What was interesting was that I found and bought a Deluxe Arcee with the exclusive battle damage redeco. I could tell it was battle damaged Arcee because there were normal Arcees to compare to. When I went to the register to buy it, the toy did not show up with a price. It was not in the Wal-mart database. The cashier then took it back to her manager and informed me that this could be a recall toy. I thought, no way, and spoke with a higher ranking employee. Later the cashier rung the toy and the price was over $20. I disputed this and waited to show another employee the advertised price ($9.96). I also noticed that this Arcee had a different ISBN (653569327646) than the regular version (653569111122), which was why it did not register. There was really no other difference in the packaging, no sticker indicating the exclusive battle damage. Eventually the employee took the price tag and let me buy it at that price, scanning a generic price tag. Even though this toy was troublesome to buy, I though it was cool to have something even Wal-mart does not usually carry. Has there been other sightings of battle damaged Arcee in North American retailers?

    Saw a shitload at Elk Grove Walmart after going to eat sushi with friends. Lets see, around 8 Incinerators, 8 of all all-spark voyagers.... I noticed they put it really high up and only put 2 of each on the shelves people can actually reach. The Transformers was at the end so I could stand to the side and count how many they had of each. And they had the exclusives, I mean a shit load of them. They had everything new basically, multiples of them, even olds, like arcee and wreckage. probably 8 of each as well cus the aisle was filled up top to bottom.


    BTW, I don't see whats the hype about jolt, Bid Daddy etc. they dont look so special

    just to let everyone know, i found the cobra legions boxset at ROSS for only $11.99.

    [​IMG][​IMG]

    i guess this is perfect for those who missed it during the crazy Target clearance, and for those who need some closure for their army building needs. LOL!

    i bought 2 boxsets this afternoon. i left a few, coz i only needed 2 sets, so that i can finish up or have reached quota on the other troopers.

    if you guys have ROSS near you, i suggest check them out. but also, it's a hit and miss, since i found these guys in one store and none at the 2 other stores. so relax people, it might start to trickle down later.
