    To the wonderful specimen of a human being who returned a Studio Series Soundwave headless to the Union Park Wal*Mart Supercenter: F*** you, from the bottom of my heart.

    Seen that happen with KSI boss, I dont get it. People are scummy, only seen one instance at my store where someone returned a cyberverse Optimus in place of galaxy upgrade prime from siege...he barely fit in the box. I tried to educate some of the front end people on how to spot these shady returns, so hopefully it doesnt happen again. Botbots have been the most violated by fans, people will use a knife to cut open the bubble containing the random figure and take it.

    Gandy Target no longer carries Battle Masters or Voyagers so do not waste your time. A great place to dump old excess stock. Was told they will be donating everything under those DCPI.

    Ormond Walmart has FOUR new G1 Astrotrains as of this afternoon. Hopefully this is a sign that stores will keep piling them up.

    University/Goldenrod Target in Orlando had a couple of the Seige Battlemasters from the Rung wave (but no Rung). Aside from that, and some of the more recent Cyberverse things, every Transformer in that store is 6 months behind (Bonecrusher, DoTM Leader Megatron, etc).

    East Colonial Target has two each of the new Earthrise stuff -- everything except for Optimus and Cliffjumper. i preordered everybody (except for Prime which, of course, i really want now) so i left everything on the pegs other than a repackaged Smashdown.

    no Stepford Cuckoos anywhere in Orlando/Lake Mary that i've found :(

    Anyone seen any Earthrise in the Jacksonville area? I’ve searched all over and the best I can find are some Grapples at Mandarin target.

    I live in Fruit Cove, but I work at Southpoint. Last weekend I went out to every target within driving distance to me. Roughly about 6-7, and I found everyone but Prime and Wheeljack.

    Good to know, I work nearby; I’ll take a look and see if I can find anything. I wouldn’t be too worried about tracking down Optimus, the Wave 1 leaders tend to stick around for a while after the newness wears off.

    No problem, I commute to Jax from St Augustine, so I’ll check St. Augustine this weekend. I’m trying to track down both Wave 1 leaders, Wheeljack and Cliffjumper. What are you looking for? Prime and Wheeljack?

    One Grapple at the Port Charlotte Target. I stashed him behind four Siege Voyagers.

    I’ll keep an eye out and let you know. I’m going to hit a couple more targets tomorrow.

    Clermont Walmart has 11 G1 astrotrains, 3 G1 Soundwaves, and three pegs full of the G1 cassette packs. Nothing much else (no ER.)
