    Scored the only Soundwave on the peg at Waterford's Target. Was interesting though. They had six Cliffjumpers, four Wheeljack's and only a few Bumblebee's. Since when did Bumblebee become more interesting than Cliffjumper?

    It also tells me they had some serious numbers of Soundwave.

    Also noteworthy: The DOTM Cyberverse and Human Alliance figures were marked down between 30-50% off. They were only on the endcaps of the sports section, facing the bikes (?).

    Why do people do this? Its so annoying. Its turns a quick jaunt into a store into a long search mission to see if anyone hid something you are looking for behind some less popular items.

    That is obvious, but what about the other Trans fans who didn't check the forum in time, and wasted a trip to the store.

    I guess that is the benefit of joining the TF community and check frequently.

    You are not putting enough thought into it.

    There is a window of time between when things are hidden, when they actually posted, and then finally when it is read. During this whole window, honest fans can be screwed if they made the trip, but get screwed by these "hiding" hijinks. That's assuming that they even posted on this forum. There are other forums you know.

    You are probably screwing over more Transfans than you are helping when you hide figures.

    if you hid one toy, 10 people went looking for it, then number 11 comes in, goes under the shelf, and nabs it, only one person got screwed over-the first one to look for it between the hider and the finder, as the other 9 would have left empty-handed anyway. You screw one over to help one.

    Not saying its right or wrong just saying that "You are probably screwing over more Transfans than you are helping" isnt quite accurate.

    By the same logic, the person who finds the figure unhidden goes home and posts about it, mentioning there were no more left, saving the other nine the trouble.

    Anyhow, "racnruin" got the same toy that he or she put away the same day, therefore it may have not been a lost for anyone. If someone really wanted that toy, it would have been a easy find in the TF toy section. At least, we got one more new person to post sighting. I didn't want anyone to be discouraged to post sighting on this forum. I agree the person who found and brought the hidden figure should post about it.

    Get back to the sighting topic, West Hartford Marshalls has restocked DOTM Speed Stars toy. Speed Stars Classic Leadfoot, Topspin and Bumblebee are on shelves.

    Lisbon Walmart had a couple of those Prime masks in, 1 of the Trilogy Optimus, a handful of Cyberverse figures, and some Bot Shots, both Value Pack and Singles. No Sentinel for the Singles, and no Decepticon pack after I bought it. No Deluxes or Voyagers up yet.
