    Sure did -- back in October, @ the Greece TRU. First, last, and only one I've ever seen in person.

    Oog, don't remind me...yesterday: Greece TRU, nothing; Hudson Ave Wal-Mart, two Grimlocks

    Today: Henrietta TRU, nothing, and no sign that the mentioned toys were EVER there; Henrietta Wal-Mart, one Grimlock; Chili Ave Wal-Mart, nothing, and no sign that the mentioned toys were EVER there :( 

    Probably try Eastview tomorrow, since I have the day off...I have a cousin in Waterloo, I should have her try that store...

    NEVER. :( 

    Two stores here in Rochester, and three in neighboring Buffalo - I saw a shelf tag for it at one of the Buffalo stores once, and THAT WAS ALL. :(  :(  :(

    nope didn't see anything new with those, same old/same old

    yeah i would have stashed that one if they weren't mid-reset with people everywhere lol




    also any of the fellow Rochester hunters/collectors, could please stash a FOC starscream and kickback..........man those 2 are a pain to find, just keep finding UM and SS (only seen air raid once as well)

    I have yet to see Kickback in the wild. </3

    Apparently we need to start a Rochester support group. Who's buying all these toys if it's not us? XD?

    Like I said, confirmed cherry-pickers on Henrietta TRU's staff... <_<

    Somehow, no such problem at the Greece store! O_O

    I've seen exactly one, and that was during a trip to NYC! (passed, wasn't impressed...he, Magnus and Air Raid are definite "no", while I'm on the fence about Sideswipe and Starscream)


    Back on subject, between 3-4PM, I saw what looked like a full set of Combaticons at Victor WalMart, and they plus the Macedon store had one each of BH Optimus and Predaking... (also saw both at Chili W-M Thursday afternoon)

    And as of 6PM today, Greece TRU has FOUR Grimlocks! o_O  (one Blaster, which I got, thanks entirely to worldruined! :)  )

    Macross7 is a fellow Rochesterian but I don't see him post in the thread much. XD

    And yeah, scalpers are attracted to Hot Wheels for whatever reason. I loved them as a kid but frankly don't see the appeal anymore.
