    There are 3 TR deluxe Slugslingers at the Walmart on 249/Spring Cypress.

    Update: Walmart on 249 Business in Tomball has 3 TR deluxe Slugslingers as well.

    Well, he's pre-ordered. Now I wait. It's funny, I'm already a tiny bit disappointed. I found a review of him on YouTube, and he's a tad smaller than MPM Bee, meaning I'll have to get creative with where in the lineup he's displayed. That said, he's too good to pass up, especially considering it's highly unlikely we ever get an official release for him in the MPM line.

    Exactly what happened to me with MP-8X. Check this out: eBay Feedback Profile for chenyu-luoyan

    I think I’m a little late to this, but anyone seen the Movie Masterpiece figures (Prime or Bee) in the Frisco area? I haven’t been to toys r us in a while and don’t usually go. Just trying to find out how rare they are.

    nearly EVERY Walmart must be all the ones I don't frequent. And I frequent ALOT from Bedford to dallas to frisco and in between. I have yet to find overlord in person in DFW, and I was so tired of checking Walmart and getting nothing I ended up buying him at the toy dojo retail location a month ago when I was in Austin.

    In the North Houston area, I have only seen Overlord at 1 Walmart in the past month or so. That was the Walmart on 2920/Kuykendahl and they had 3 of them. That is the only time I have seen him on shelves. I had already gotten my Overlord from BBTS.

    As for TR wave 5 deluxe, I saw a lone Misfire once at the Target on 1960/Eldridge and got him. I have yet to see Twin Twist or Windblade at any stores. I ended up getting Twin Twist and Windblade from Captured Prey.

    All I needed was TR Ramhorn so I purchased the wave 5 set from BBTS. I have yet to hear of any Texas sightings of TR Ramhorn (only been found in Mejers stores in the US it seems).

    The only new TR figure I have seen being restocked lately is deluxe Slugslinger at Walmarts. I still have yet to find any POTP wave 1 toys on shelves (Brickseek says Targets have them but I have not bothered Target employees to check the back stock rooms yet).

    While I love toy hunting, retail store distribution seems to be getting worse and worse. Walmarts have been notorious for having empty pegs for TR and RID for weeks if not months before new stock arrives. Targets and TRU skip waves or lag so far behind at times that restocks take months to happen. Now with Targets getting POTP wave 1 figures in, it looks like TR won't be getting restock at Targets now.

    With BBTS Pile of Loot feature with $4 flat rate shipping (and the fact I don't get charged sales tax), buying online is becoming more lucrative for me.

    I may be beating a dead horse:horse:  , but what's the story on TLK Deluxe Cogman?

    Is he a last wave rarity?

    Is he an Internet exclusive?


    Also, whatever happened to Twin Twist, Windblade, & Misfire? I've yet to see any of them in the Alamo City, though I did find a lone Slugslinger a couple of weeks ago. I also rather fortunately found most of the Wave 1 POTP Legends at a Target, but no others.

    Today I'm mulling over getting the discounted TR Fort Max which, though cool, has always been irksome for not being a completely new mold. His useless vestigial Metroplex cast-offs keep me from really committing to it. Decisions, decisions. o_O 


    Anyway, I hope that my fellow Texans are having a FUN Christmas Gift-Giving & Toy-Hunting Season!

    That wave got skipped over here. I ordered those three on Amazon, but I just saw Slugslinger here in Lubbock a few days ago. Haven't seen past wave 2 for last knight, and Cogman is still too high on Amazon.

    Target in magnolia has potp deluxe dreadwind, swoop, jazz and 2 slugs on the discount end cap. Not on sake though, guess theyjust didn't have enough room for them on regular tf isle
