    Are those the Voyagers or the really crappy one-step ones?

    Sango Walmart in Clarksville has the AOE Voyagers, Power Battlers and the Dino Riders... no Deluxes sadly but weirdly enough it has a ton of the Generations Legend class Optimus and Bumblebees again...

    Yeah, I saw those Legends and figured somebody found a box or two in the back of the distribution center. :) 

    Gotta say I don't think I'll be running to the store that often for the AOE line.

    I thought the same thing but the Evasion Optimus Prime and all of the deluxes are really sweet looking once they are out of their packaging. Most are mistransformed in their packaging. The evasion is my new fav voyager of OP

    I found all the AOE deluxes in Knoxville (hell they let me open the case myself, and even used their price gun to see if it was in the system so i could know if I could buy it or not! ha). I got 1 of each of Crosshairs, Slug, Scorn, and High Octane Bumblebee, as well as a Flip and Change Voyager sized Grimlock for my daughter Saturday night around midnight.

    The Deluxe figures are surpringly nice... I hate to admit it but they really are nice for what they are. Especially the Dinobots, they have some REALLY nice looking paint jobs especially! :) 
    The flip and change is pretty lame, just the arms are able to move and it comes with no weapon... if the legs just moved and it came with SOME kind of accessory, it would be really nice though honestly... My 4yo daughter has some fun with it though, but she even said it was WAY too easy...
    Guess so since she plays with my YOTH MP Prime all the time without any problem... lol

    Have been to 3 Targets in the Knoxville area and they all have NOTHING. Well except the Target near West Town Mall, it had a TON of Whirl and Rhinox. Turkey Creek Target had a couple of them. NOTHING else though. Literally nothing, not even Construct Bots really.

    I went to, and talked to employees I know at both TRU's in Knoxville and the guys told me they have EVERYTHING for AOE and have had it for the last week, but can't put it out until the street date or they get fined supposedly. East had NOTHING, West had 1 YOTH Optimus left. They also had a bunch of Whirls/Rhinox.

    BTW, if anyone is wanting AOE figures, hit up Amazon.com and TRU's website.

    Amazon is buy one get one 50% off for a limited time http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=9153876011

    TRU is buy $50 get $10 off, buy $75 get $15 off, buy $100 get $20 off. http://www.toysrus.com/search/index.jsp?kwCatId=&kw=cybertron2014&origkw=cybertron2014&sr=1&ppg=96
    That also seemed to work for buying $150, getting $30 off etc etc... so they work successively! :D 

    HasbroToyShop has some discounts too, free shipping at least I saw. http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/transformers?BR=496&PG=1&ST=NW

    Wilma R. Walmart had Power Attackers and Dino Riders plus the ConstructBots for AOE today when I was there around lunch time.
    Didn't see anything new deluxe wise either... they have all these hanging on what used to be deluxe pegs.

    If anyone in the Knoxville area is looking for MP Grimlock, I got a guy at the East Knoxville to check their system, and orders haven't even hit the distribution center yet.

    So I don't think we're hosed. Yet.

    Um, yeah, I was there yesterday, and they hadn't had any come in. So I don't know what you're talking about. Unless you're not talking about the one at Wolfchase. It was the same situation as described in the above post about Knoxville.
