    I grabbed mine at Target in Waterford but that was a couple of days ago and they only had one left. Although it's right leg was not connected so I left that one. Just find one at a well stocked target or TRU and price match it.

    Keep an eye out at your local Walmart. The ones we have are getting in half pallet displays that are chalked full of wave 1.

    Hey Florida fans, I'm visiting Orlando all the way from Ohio and I finally got to ride the Transformers Ride! Absolutely loved it! Plus I bought an Evac deluxe, which is a pretty damn nice figure. Hope you guys feel the same! I didn't see any other new movie product so far, but I am curious if the Bumblebee is worth buying while I'm here. Cheers!

    The one ride store-exclusive that I'm still considering getting is that transforming Bumblebee gun-blade roleplay toy. Most of the other stuff is just straight-up repacks without any recoloring so you can probably skip it.

    BTW, don't forget to go about half an hour north on I-4 to Longwood and visit Acme Superstore. It's an entire mini-mall building converted into what has to be the biggest comic book and toy store in Florida.

    Well that's two more stores to visit the next time I'm in Orlando; I'd never heard of Sci Fi City or The Hobby Spot before.

    Found 8 of the IVAN set at count line target. Looks horrible. Plastic looks so much cheaper than before. Paint apps on the G1 grim looked bad. :(

    May have to try and get them to price match.

    My walmart so far has only been getting in wave 2. They have so little TF stuff on the shelves and when they hit big a few days back it was all wave 2.


    Off topic a bit, but is there anyone in the tampa area that would be interested in buying an AMC theaters gift card from me? I got one as a gift but there are none in Lakeland. Closest one is in Brandon. Anyone intersted in helping me out? It is for $70. That is TF4 a few times over. ;)

    No MP Grimlocks at the Kendall TRU, but YOH Prime has been restocked. 1 Generations Scoop, and 2 WFC Skywarps.
    1 Rhinox at the Kendall WM. No other Generation Voyagers.

    I said the same thing and Lockdown, but I'm considering Evasion Prime (The rusty version preferred but the retail one is fine too). It's growing on me.

    I'm getting almost exclusively new characters, but Evasion Mode Prime was too cool to pass up when I saw him on sale.

    Any new sightings of Cosmos & Swerve in Tampa? If you've got extras, I'd be willing to pay a small finder's fee rather than pay the scalpers on ebay...

    To the selfish jerkface that hid the lone voyager hound at Town Center TRU: I moved him back where someone could find him.

    You're all welcome.
