    I was able to grab 1 at the Warwick TRU at opening. I kind fellow collector had 2 and gave me one (thank you). I didn't spot any others but they may have had some in back. They were on the floor next to the column that divides Star Wars and Transformers.

    Warwick TRU supposedly only got 2, but I doubt that. I'm sure an employee grabbed a couple. I asked and they had none in the back. Attleboro got 6, I got one and it was the last.

    Pass. I got the first TRU and from the reviews and pics, it's better than this newer release. The only thing I like about the new one is the box.

    1 Kre-o Grimlock Unleashed set left at TRU Warwick (the G1 version that comes with 5 Kreons including G1 Grimlock). No MP Grimlocks if anyone was still looking. Transformers did take over the front section when you first come in near the giant Lego firefighter.

    There was an mp grimlock at TRU actually, it was hidden behind the darth vader backpack. It must have been there from Wednesday's truck. Sorry whoever hid it

    Oh. I didn't really look other than a glance at the section to be honest. I have the 1st TRU version as I already mentioned.

    I haven't been able to get any free time. I check'd the Walmart in North Smithfield... they've been disappointing tho. When everyone else had figures on their shelves, they didn't... When they did, it was just the none deluxe figures... They ended up getting a few deluxe figures on their shelves and selling all except Crosshairs who is still sitting there.

    Thanks for the tip in Lincoln. eventually i'll get over there.

    As for Hound, I bought mine off the Hasbro website. It came in the mail 2 days later i believe.

    If anyone is hunting wave 1 of the deluxe figures, Walmart in North Attleboro has a full end cap.

    I looked at toys r us, target up there, Walmart (still lacking figures) and Lincoln Target and only found Drift. Target in Lincoln has one more deluxe Drift if anyone is looking for him.

    If anyone is looking for the Scoop wave, Whirl, or Rhinox, Walmart in Warwick on Post Rd has a ton of them.

    No Generations deluxe figures at Kmart in Cranston. They do have a Generations voyager Grimlock if anyone still needs him.

    Walmart on Post Rd. in Warwick has a Generations voyager Blaster along with the most recent voyagers and deluxe figures.
