    Well guys in the DSM area, things may get a bit easier for ya'll. With the prices skyrocketing and quality staying level at best, I'm out of retail figures or CHUG. The choices of characters is not helping. By not buying 2-3 figures, that pays for a 3rd party Masterpiece where I get something that has great paint and almost zero hollowness or waffeling and I can proudly display it. And dont even get me started on Repro stickers, screw Toyhax!
    That said good luck to you guys and If I happen to see anything I'll still gladly post it for anyone that is still in the game.

    Also (and sorry for the double post) since we're seeing Metalhawk and Twincast, does that mean that places skipped the Tarn wave for the most part? I'm pretty sure he was in the wave before Metalhawk, and I never saw him anywhere.

    I'm pretty sure yes at those specific locations, just because it seems like walmarts are all either getting Evo W1 or W2.

    Debated posting this since I don't wanna get anyone's hopes up but I found and purchased a random Clampdown at the Jordan Creek Walmart yesterday. No Cosmos and no signs that it was a restock from what I could tell, since it seems there's been no change in Velocitron shelfwarmers there for months.

    Elmore Walmart in Davenport had a Scraphook, 2 Hot Shot, and 2 Leo Prime. I assume that means a Tarn WAS there, but I was too late.

    Also, anyone seen Core Thundercracker in the QC area yet?

    The Des Moines Target on East Army Post Road has one each of Twincast and Metalhawk left (and scanning at $29.99), otherwise they're pretty cleaned out.
