    Two Road Haulers were at Andover Walmart as of an hour ago. They're on the shelf hidden by some toys hanging in front of them.

    Oooooh nice list!

    I don’t suppose you’ve seen any of the Walmart Velocitron stuff down there? I might know a few people who’d like a Cosmos :)

    While you're out and about hunting Velocitron, if anyone spots this Mega Construx set, let me know.

    I've seen plenty of Squirtle and Charizard sets but only today learned there's finally a Bulbasaur equivt.

    I don't have a Walmart very close to me so I don't get to check very often, but I found this at target yesterday if anyone needs something...

    Local Walmart redid the toy aisles back to how they used to be probably 3 years ago... My favorite layout.. anywho.. there is a tag for a black convoy put there but no figures, and I didn't see any of the exclusive tags yet. So we'll see what happens. I'm sure they'll get them just a matter of when. Another sightings Target locally here in Willmar got their exclusives in. Which I guess includes the red cog figure. And I assume he cost $32 because he has a crap ton of guns? He puts the price of motor master in check considering that sucker is 85 bucks and there's a lot more figure in plastic there... Anyways good evening or good morning everybody

    Well, to be fair, Scourge isn't shipped one per box. :lolol 
    Right now it seems it's just Override and Road Hauler that the Walmarts around here have gotten. No Deluxes or Leaders.

    Has anyone seen a Studio Series 86 Junkheap or Spike in stores?
    I have not once seen any new Studio Series stuff around the North Metro outside of a billion Coronation Starscreams and Sweeps.

    SS86 Junkheap shipped earlier this summer with the Sweeps - I found mine in June. Haven't seen any in at least a month, unfortunately.

    Spike I got from Amazon, haven't seen him in stores at all.

    We just got in 2 ss 86 Sludge figures at Richfield Hot Comics.
    $59.99 each and then don't forget about that sweet 10% TFW discount.

    I'd check but I'm busy dying of super flu. You can give 'em a call though and let us know!
