    seems like itll be another ROSS situation for the last two waves of voyagers or even the skylinx deluxe wave... but these stores SUCK at restocking or even rotation.. Walmart off Culebra and 1604 is still bone dry, with the exception of the megablocks tmnt sets

    TO the Houston folks, it looks like Walmart has a restock, I found in multiple locations the Combacticons finally (west Houston/Katy). Unfortunately no signs of Onslaugh other than at Bedrock City that I personally hate, damm resellers....

    Thanks for the heads up. I have seen ToysRUs stock the deluxe Combaticons recently as well. I am waiting for the latest wave of CW Voyagers and Legends to be stocked. As for Bedrock Comics, I believe they get their non-exclusive toys from Diamond Comics Distribution, which are only a few more dollars than normal retail stores.

    I think perhaps the discounted HEB CW Deluxe price may be widespread. I just went to the one in SA on Zarzamora and they had the 1st wave Autobot Deluxes peg-warming at $8.48. I suspect that the reason for their price-cut was that that particular location had really over-ordered and had tons of this wave since early Dec. It's too bad that no other Deluxe combiner team members were present, but they did have Voyager Silverbolt, MotorMaster, and one Battlecore Prime, at regular price.

    It's a shame to see TFs shelf-warm, however, they are re-paints, or re-paints of re-paints, but some of them do have nice head-sculpts. Still no sign of Legends Shockwave, Huffer, Pipes, ChopShop, or even older Voyagers like Cyclonus.

    With Lent beginning on the 10th (I love fried fish Fridays! :p ), I wonder what TF goodies may turn up for Easter (Mar. 27th). I suspect RID candy or something, though I wouldn't mind a TF-goody-filled plastic Easter egg. Anyway, happy hunting everyone!

    Bedrock is not a reseller. They buy them the same way other brick and mortar stores do.

    Be sure to check out my eBay link for tons of great transformers that I am in the process of selling. Be sure to let me know that you're a board member for a discount.

    The CW figures are being discounted across board at HEB. Too bad I already own all of the figures they're discounting.

    Hi GoLion, by "across the board", do you mean that the discounted price is at all HEBs in general, or that all TFs sold at HEBs have had their prices lowered? From what I've observed here in San Antonio, only the Deluxes are discounted (only the 1st wave of Autobot cars at $8.48 each with no limit). The Legends & Voyagers I've seen are still at their regular prices. I wouldn't mind buying a discounted Cyclonus or Sky Lynx, though I doubt that would happen. :D
