    Did you pay full price for the hot rod or price matched it?

    I paid full price ($30) for Hot Rod as I didn't have time to price match. The minibots were $7.86 though.

    Hope those minibots hit over here in the Katy/Richmond area. I really want Bumblebee. So I need to check Target if I want to find the Seige figures.

    Either I got really lucky, or these things are on the fast track to be peg warmers. Given the amount of G1 merch on the shelves at my area Wal-Marts, I think the latter is a safe bet. Wouldn't surprise me at all, for all of it to be in the clearance aisle by February.

    All the previous ones like Starscream are shelfwarming in my area (Sugar Land) too. Can't tell if it's a Texas thing or not, because some people never got them.

    Finally found the G1 Bumblebee. Was the same pallet Powersa found too at Walmart. No sign of the BotBots which was weird cause they had a bunch of those red bins at the front.

    Montwood Walmart has one of the Bumblebee-themed display pallets out. I picked up 1 each of G1 Swerve, Outback and Tailgate - they had plenty of all four minibots left.

    I finally found me a TLK Deluxe Cogman at Ross last week. Was so excited when I did find him. He is a pretty neat figure too. Transformation is pretty simple too. Love the little bot he comes with to put in the driver seat.

    Houston. West side. Royal Oaks Wal Mart has zero G1 minibots. they filled the entire display with rescue-bots only.. none on the shelf either, dont waste your time. their toy dept has really fallen apart.

    So.... I made a goof, and I now have 2 MPM-6 Ironhides headed my way. Should be here this week. One will be getting listed for sale, and I'd like to get back what I paid (which I'd rather not post here). If anyone is interested and would like to know the price, please PM me. Thanks!

    Target in Georgetown Had Studio Dropkick, the autoboot Siege micromasters (no airstrike patrol) and all of the Battlemasters. Also Had a few Primals. The Walmart nearby had all the G1 reissue Minibots in a display near the automotive/outdoors area.
