    Drove out to Winston Salem hanes mall blvd target today to pick up a clearance mpm blackout. As of around 10:15, there was one left marked at $49 and some change when I left. It was not with the transformers but instead in a clearance aisle with other clearance toys. They also had several masterverse figures that looked like a spinoff of motu - they were on clearance marked at 9.99 or something like that, but it looked like a good discount. They had she ra and some villian looking thing I can't remember the name of. Sorry don't know much about that line. They also had 2 skullgrins, 2 pointblanks, 1 crankcase, but 0 dead ends.

    Edit - forgot to mention I was at target huntersville shortly after 8, and they had 4 ss86 ironhides, all of which I left. Also a couple of ss voyager galvatrons, but nothing else new. Might have had a core rumble, I can't remember.

    3 NEST Bonecrushers at Target Mooresville. I’ll update if I decide to buy one

    update: I’m not buying any, leaving all 3. 9:24am

    edit: they have 5 or 6 of gi joe classified recondo. Also 3 snake eyes and timber sets that come in a larger box than a normal classified figure. I don’t know if they’re new; I just don’t remember having seen them before.

    I've exhausted all of my options in the Charlotte area, so if anyone in other parts of NC might be able to help me at all, I have been checking all of the local comic shops and secondhand bookstores trying to find the following:

    Transformers: The Wreckers Saga TPB

    Transformers/G.I. Joe: First Strike TPB

    Rom vs. Transformers: Shining Armor TPB

    Transformers: Historia one-shot

    It's the last of what I need to complete my Phase 3 comic collection.

    Bonus find: Transformers: Dark Cybertron (Hardcover edition)

    Earthspark at Southpoint Target. 2 Megs, 1 red guy. Left all, $24.99 is beyond ridiculous for those.

    They scanned that price too?! They weren't just randomly placed? I have them on pre-order at EE for $19.99 each, I'm surprised they are more at Target. I was going to check Cary today, but if they are $24, I'll just keep my pre-order.

    Nothing new at walmart Mooresville, but I took a picture of the section after a recent reset - the transformers section is huge - the section of pegs go from the ss deluxes to the left to the velocitron deluxes to the right. There are 3 shelves underneath the pegs. The shelves don't extend as far as the pegs do - they extend about half as far as the pegs.

    Has anyone heard if Minerva has shown up at any NC Walgreens?

    Wilson Target had some Earthspark stuff yesterday. It was mostly the one steps and spin changer (?) Optimus, with one each of the deluxe Megatron and Twtich.
    They also had 3 Tiger Force Duke/RAMs.
