    Was there any voyagers there besides Rhinox (other than those rare seekers)? Someone said they spotted Blaster at an Ollies earlier in the thread. I'm hoping he starts trickling in.

    Hobby Lobby has 40% off model kits. They had some TF model kits (Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee, etc.). All the Maisto die cast model kit cars are also on sale as well. I tried waiting in line for checkout but gave up and left. I'm guessing everyone was there for the 70% off Christmas items. I'll try again another day when it's less busy. The sale ends on Saturday.

    Megatron Model Kit ($55.99 -> $33.59):

    Megatron Transformers Model Kit | Hobby Lobby | 2047371

    Bumblebee Model Kit ($55.99 -> $33.59):

    Optimus Prime Model Kit ($45.99 -> $27.59):

    Here’s a weird thing that may be the longest of long shots: I was just at a charity function in Kissimmee, FL. The usual stuff, holidays, free toys for the kids. I noticed some were oddly fancy boxes with Shockwave on them. On closer inspection, they were SDCC 2013 Beast Hunters Shockwave Labs! When me and my kiddo get to the toy selection phase, sure enough, there’s a wall of them! She picked Operation, so there’s that. However, maybe some might pop up elsewhere, like the crazy Metroplex sightings at Cititrends last year…

    There are a bunch of Blasters at my Ollie's. There have been for the whole Christmas season. He and Tigatron were the only ones my Ollie's got. Tigatron is almost gone but they still have quite a few Blasters. Never a Cyclonus or Rhinox.
    Edit: Also, I'd check GameStop. They're getting in clearance stuff shipped in and I saw a Tigatron there 2 weeks ago. If they're getting Tigatron and Tigatron was at my Ollie's, they very well may get Blaster too.

    At 25% off that would make that Seeker set $30. If I saw that at my local Ollies I would definitely buy it.

    I went to a "Big Lots!" store today that's closing down. Everything is on sale from 10%-20% off. I'm guessing the discount will gradually increase until the store is closed down for good. No TF left on the shelf unfortunately. They do have a few MOTU Origins deluxe "Terror Claws" Skeletor and "Flying Fists" He-Man figures left. I bought a few HW Mario Kart for $3.99 each ($4.99 regular) and HW Track Trucks for $4.75 each ($5.99 regular).

    I went to a nearby MTC (Movie Trading Company) store and they're selling HW basic cars for $1.99! The most expensive place I've seen HW basic car go for is at Fanboys stores. They sell each HW basic cars for $3.00! Highway robbery, I tell ya! I thought Walgreens was expensive at $1.49. Sheesh!

    I went to a "Citi Trends' store today that I haven't been to in a while. They had 4x WFC Tigatron for $19.99 each and one ripped WFC Wheeljack for $8. They also had 3x PR LC Pink Ranger for $12.99 each and one Red Ranger.

    "Big Lots" is having their "Buy 1 Toy get 2nd Toy 50%" off again. I found 3 new HW Monster Trucks. The only thing left of the forth one is the plastic bubble. :(  They also had the $10 micro TF 2 Pack figures (3 points of articulation) mentioned elsewhere on this thread.

    $10 TF Micro Figures 2 pack:

    I went to Burlington and the only thing interesting that I found was this...

    Side Note: I find it weird that is says Kenner on the box when Transformers is a Hasbro / TakaraTomy product.

    Hasbro owns the Kenner brand so they can slap it on reissue figures like that and the Retro SW ones.

    Weren't the OG figures made by Kenner back in the day? Which is why Hasbro used this branding on the reissue.

    Kenner was a subsidiary of Hasbro after an acquisition in 1991. At the time that the Beast Wars line was in production, Kenner was in charge of all of Hasbro's "boys' toys" (ugh) brands.

    Authentic retro packaging = Kenner logo.

    Linky goodness!

    I went to another "Citi Trends" store today and they had no TF just one lonely PR LC Red Ranger. :( 

    I did find a KO combiner bot set at a "Family Dollar" store for $10. Five transforming robots that combine to form a mega robot! :p 

    $10 KO 5-in-1 Transform Dino Robot 1/2:
