    Naples Walmart on Juliet. I saw one case of Override there last week buried under a 6 foot tower of boxes. Tags were on shelves days ago with no signs of stocking and that was still true as of Saturday.

    Ah ok, thanks! I checked there a couple times last week and didn’t find anything. I’ll have to keep an eye on there.

    This is probably a pointless question, but has anyone seen Kingdom Ultra Magnus at any of the discount stores around Orlando (or anywhere else)?

    1 Motormaster left at Daytona Target. Kind of a dinged up box.

    I grabbed the only Sludge.

    Dorkside Toys has Kingdom Magnus for $34.90 plus $5.99 flat s&h, or free shipping on orders over $59. They have other Transformers on sale too.

    Acme Superstore has a bunch of Kingdom Magnus but their prices are on the expensive side.

    Target in Coconut point had one SSBB Ironhide that went home with me.
    they also had 2 motormasters but I took one of those as well.
    Everything else is pretty much the same that we’ve been seeing everywhere.
    I guess we can’t complain about this four pack being scarce like the previous buzzworthy four pack, huh?

    The Walmart in Estero had nothing of significance and there were no toy pallets anywhere to be seen.

    Ebay:
    Went to my local Target and Walmart, and found bounties galore.

    Walmart on Broad Street in Brooksville had:

    2x Velocitron Burn Out
    2x Velocitron Blurr
    2x Velocitron Override

    And all the usual stuff that's been on the pegs for ages.


    [​IMG]

    Target on Aerial Way in Brooksville had:

    8x Creatures Collide Buzzworthy set
    5x Toy Color Terrorsaur
    6x Toy Color Dinobot
    3x Legacy Red Cog
    2x Legacy Motormaster

    And a single Lego Optimus Prime (better hurry if you want that, the guy at the register when I bought mine seemed super-interested in it, said he might go back and pick up the last one himself)

    Every time I see this LEGO Optimus I get tempted so badly. It looks really great especially with that guy who keeps posting different versions of Optimus you can make with the same pieces.

    Give in. 100% worth the price of admission. He's HUGE and a marvel of engineering.

    Thank you! Heh, I actually bought one from Dorkside this afternoon, after talking myself out of it for over a year.

    But with my luck, it'll show up on deep clearance at the discount stores now that I finally got an okay deal.

    Just got this email from Walmart... looks like the online Velocitron pre-orders just got pushed back. I'll be interested to see if they actually ever ship at all or if they just get cancelled eventually...
