    Yes!

    I was standing there scratching my head wondering where they dug up all those old Energon/Universe scouts from!

    Why can't they resurrect something good?

    Something tells me we would see those guys until mid to late Feb 2011, since technically Jazz and Tracks hit shelves early.

    But hey if I'm wrong I guess we all win...

    Anyway there's a lonely WFC Soundwave siting at Cheltenham Mall TRU as well as a couple Animated Ironhide and Rodimus.

    Actually, my shelfwarming comment refered to the 3rd wave of the power core combiners which are re-colors of wv1 & 2.
    Being recolors i figured they will be shelf warming for a while.
    Didn't mean the classic scouts.
    I have seen them in a few walmarts so it's not isolated.
    They were KBtoys exclusives.
    Maybe walmart bought up some leftovers.

    And friendship pony, what do you mean by acorn & slip stream?
    Acorn = axor?
    Slipstream = ?

    Took a trip out toKmart in Feasterville, they still have:
    a few tracks, jazz, mindset and fallback left.
    Icepick with Chainclaw
    a few Huffers
    Crankcase with Destrons
    Protectobots
    Combaticons
    Arielbots
    Basically a lot, more than I've seen in one place before of different kinds.

    Some are right by the front door and some on racks in the aisle near the regular toy section and the rest in-section.
    Buy 2 get one free going on too. Today is probably the last day. I bought my first PCC guy too due to that, Sledge and Throttler.

    I went to the Steel City Con and ended up with a loose Alternity Black Megatron, a spinning Transformers logo belt buckle, and a mess of tpbs for like $3 each.

    Then I tried K-Mart and Kohls out there hoping for a Jazz, but neither place had anything new. TRU had Tomahawk and Terradive though at least.

    But then on the way home on the parkway I decided to stop at the K-Mart in Parkway Center Mall, and there on a shelf right as I was going in I found a Jazz. So that was cool. Also I'm kind of surprised Phantom of the Attic is still in there. I remember when that mall used to have actual stores in it.

    Also, the Scot Twp Wal Mart didn't have any new TF stuff, but did have tons of the new WW Hulk wave of MU figures, and they had one DCU Kamandi and one Alan Scott and one Green Lantern 5-pack tucked behind some Gotham City packs. Plus one TF Ghost Rider.

    Thanks for the heads-up. One Jazz and Tracks left as of 4:30 this afternoon.

    TRU in Monroeville had several Darkmounts, WFC Megs, Tomahawks and Terradives. Not the newest wave, but they still seem to be in short-supply around Pgh.

    Oh, ha, no, that was just the tpbs. The Megatron was $30. Still a pretty good deal.

    Dammit, I stopped there the day before you and they had nothing. I did see the cases up on the top of the shelf though, so I knew they were coming down soon.

    Well I'm glad I found an acceptable Skullgrin (with a correctly aligned cannon nozzle) at the Butler Target, as well as finally deciding to buy Dirge there too. I had one hidden in WalMart behind those creepy motion-activated dolls for weeks. I kept pulling it out every weekend to look at it, but wouldn't buy it, but after seeing how few of them are actually in stores I did get one. Now I just need to track down an Axor. Saw him about a month ago too but passed at the time.

    Pittston Walmart: Powercore Combiner Steamhammer (no Grimstone!), Thunderwing, Cliffjumper, Skullgrin. Too bad I bought them from HTS last week!

    Steamhammer is the best PCC 5 pack so far - he is very stable and actually has thumbs! Thumbs!

    You should have had them pull a case down! I asked some kid to pull a case from the top to see if I could find a Blurr in the box... no luck though. It was a case of movie deluxes (sorry, don't know official name as I cannot stand any of the movie stuff). All I know is they were yellow cards and were not reveal the shield :)

    There's one HFTD Voyager Prime and one Ani Rod at the South Philly TRU. Not a damn thing at the Target around the corner.

    The big AT-AT is on sale at Target until Christmas for $80.

    Yo doods, saw a metric butt-ton of jazz and tracks as well as their wave mates at hummelstown/hershey Krap-mart. Typically hate that place, but TONS and TONS of them, at LEAST 10 each left after I left last night. Also, didnt look at the small print, but I think today yet ALL of their transformers are buy 2, get 1 FREE. Got a Fall(outboy)Back for freeeee. Tasty. Also, this reveal the shield is supposed to be the gimmick for the line, but the back of the packaging has their autobot logo and their bios call out differently. For example, instead of in the bio saying Special Ops Jazz or Turbo Tracks, it calls them Autobot Jazz and Autobot Tracks. Veird....good hunting! Now if anyone in the area can secure me a Grimstone....
