    Nothing interesting at the Cockeysville Wal-Mart but a bunch of TR Chromedomes and 4 TR Leader Megs

    Thanks! picked up the last 6shot and one overlord. Still 3 or 4 overlords left for $30 and a few Megatrons for $13. Racks are near garden center now.

    Would love one of those Overlords, but that's a hell of a drive for me from Baltimore. It's brickseek that everyone checks, right?

    Scored me a Sixshot in Hanover PA Walmart. None left but they did have Beachbomber, Windcharger, Shrapnel, Slash, and Seaspray there. They also had a Hot Rod and the other Titan Returns wave 3ish deluxes. Plus they had a LOT of Megatron's and a Broadside. It was the one on Eisenhower Dr. The other Walmart was bare.

    All this surplus showing up at some great discounts.. and we still never got much of TR Wave 5 Deluxes in this region... :( 

    Back at TFCon in VA, I bought my daughter Misfire for $22 (choking on the price a little, but she loved the "pink" one, so..) and I thought, surely these will show up for around $16 in the next month or so.. so why throw down $66 for 3 deluxes. Now to get all 3 online +plus shipping, that $66 looks like a deal. :mad: :oops:  I know I shouldn't, but I still have a lingering hope that these show up at TJMaxx next fall.

    I had checked out both Frederick and Germantown Walmarts. Nada. A Sixshot would have been good, but it's been a good collecting month, so that would have been extra.

    BatLantern, Misfire was one of the reasons I went and got that Deluxe wave from BBTS with him, Windblade, and Twin Twist. Once again, never can understand the ordering process from the B&M stores on this stuff. Or even if Hasbro direct marketing made them available in certain markets.

    Weird that BBTS is completely sold out of the Windblade, Twin Twist, & Misfire box and have been for a while. BBTS can sell out of individual figs quickly sometimes but the bundled ones tend to stick around a bit longer. Makes me think they really just didn't make very many or that distribution was so poor that everyone bought all three online.

    Arbutus Walmart has a PotP OP box is a little beat up, but the contents look good. Also a starscream, set of wave 1 deluxe, and some wave 1 legends.

    Long Gate Target has POTP Leader Optimus and Rodimus. I hid them on the bottom shelf behind TLK Leader Megatron.

    Hey guys, curious if anyone here collects hot toys? I got the iron Man XLVII from homecoming (standard version, not preview) but I'm not 100% on keeping him. Curious if anyone here wanted to trade for him or something.

    Maryland was very lucky. Only one store will be closing. That's the location in Clinton.

    By comparison, California will be closing 26(!) stores.

    I hope those workers land on their feet and find work quickly.

    Here's the list:

    As much as I am thankful my local ones didn't get hit, I used to live by the Potomac Mills one in VA, and I am sad to hear it is closing. I also grew up in CA, and it seems that a lot of the Bay Area and OC-area ones I remember are going up too. Shame.

    I'm really shocked that we are only losing one store so far in Maryland! With some of these big city closings, I was relieved we weren't losing Glen Burine or Salisbury.
    I get up to PA here and there and hearing they're losing Erie AND Monroeville is pretty tragic.

    I grabbed the only RID Bludgeon from the new Hagerstown Walmart that opened today off I-70. Thermador and Twinferno remain.
