    The Walmart I shop at has Some siege voyagers.. and 5 g1 PRIMES....and That's It... Seige deluxes a couple days ago vaporized...
    Even the Small amount of figures Target has...Is a vast improvement over Walmart. Seen a SS Shatter... but I can buy it just for the vehicle mode. Her Battle Helmet Isn't appealing to me much.

    Man, too far of a drive for that Shatter. XD I like her, so I'm gonna hopefully find a replacement soon.

    Bloomington target has no new figures, but they do have a lot of Rise of the Combiner boosters. I bought a bunch and got 3/6 of Superion, 1/6 of Volcanicus, 2/5 of Predaking, 1/6 of whatever that one Optimus combiner was called, and 2/2 of Dreadwing. The art's super cool, and the folding cards seemed like they couldn't possibly be durable to me until I saw them in hand. Now I believe in the power of folding cards... though I'll probably just cover whatever side isn't 'flipped' at the moment.

    Burnsville has 4 each of SS-32 Prime and Bonecrusher. Also a lone Cogman. So W6 has passed through.

    And if anybody happens to spot a UW Grand Scourge or FunPub Impactor/Bluestreak on the dealer floor give me a holler.

    Family and I are taking a road trip to see the Royals play in April and our route takes us through Iowa. Wife gave me the okay to plan a stop off at Harold's store...but I can't remember what it's called. Haven't seen him around on the boards much, so hope everything's going okay wit him.

    I've got one of his business cards somewhere, but does anyone remember it off the top of their head?

    Wow. You know a Walmart must be in a bad area if their G1 Optimus Prime reissues are locked into those security tag devices. Went to the Walmart across from Northtown Mall in Blaine looking for Siege figures, and instead that is what I saw. XD

    I did find the newest wave of Studio Series Deluxes at Coon Rapids Target. I almost bought the Scrapmetal Construction, but I'm really not sure if I want to build Devastator.

    Hey so if I'm looking at selling some stuff, is anyone interested in older Bayverse, KREO, and maybe some random Generations? It should all be complete, I'd just need to dig up the missiles and if you're interested I can track down the instructions/boxes/cards.

    I'm committing to SS Devy and I know those aren't everyone's cup of tea so I may be moving my RotF Constructicons.

    Broke down and bought a SS Construction Scrapmetal. Not 100% sure if I'll keep him as I'm trying to stick with just the 2007 Transformers characters. Though if they could ever give us a Ferrari Dino figure at last, I might break for him.

    Found a SS Jetfire today. Was tempted to get him, but I'm trying to cut back on my toy purchases a little. Looks really cool, and big.

    Bville Target had a shatter (which I bought to replace the broken one) and 2 Cogmen. They also had many Bonecrushers and new SS Voyager optimuses. Cogmen and voyagers are still there. Hidden Walmart had Dropkick wave and overly-pricey G1 optimuses.
    Bloomington Target had nada.

    Hey folks, TF Con LA was my first-ever convention and it was a blast. I'd definitely go again especially if it was close to here.

    While I was there I picked up the TCP exclusive Delta Manus but now I'm thinking it's not for me. Would any of you like it? It is still MISB and I'm selling it for cost -- $80. If you're interested shoot me a PM and we can work out a time/place to connect.

    Walmart has 2 siege voyagers...1 meg's, and one Prime... Some bot shots..and that's it... All 5 G1 Primes are gone... Thought they went to clearance area... But not to be found there...? Would they go back to distribution to cover online sales? Target had the currncu SS waves in voyagers and deluxe classes.. leaders are stuck on grimlock... one siege leader Magnus.. plus the other bee Bee movie toys ... And Botshots... Which don't move out here it seams...
