    If anyone still needs Siege Deluxe wave 1, the Walmart on 249\Spring Cypress put another case out.

    Found this guy today at a Walmart in Plano off 161. He’s the only one. I left him for any one looking for him. I want the ultra Magnus mold more right now.

    Stumbled across a Galaxy Prime at Target this morning (the one off 290 NW of BW8 in Houston). Had no idea this guy was showing up in Targets yet (only heard Walmart so far).

    yep you're correct, no Go! in H-town.. I looked in to a couple of other nearby locations, they're all closed. and the phone numbers are either disconnected or changed. I requested edits on Google, I think theyve gone through already.

    Saw UM at the Walmart in Plano on Coit by 190 yesterday. They also had a Cassette pack.

    Got Trypticon at the monthly North Dallas toy show yesterday. It wasn’t quite the Ross price at $70, but it was still a good price.

    Greetings fellow Texan hunters! Moving to Killeen and on the road at this time. Any good places I should keep an eye out for? There weren’t a lot of good places in Oregon even after the fall of tru.

    Cedar Hill Walmart has one Galaxy Upgrade Siege Optimus, one Siege Ultra Magnus and about three Shockwaves. Also a Siege Starscream and several Rescue Patrol micromasters. No sign of Soundwave or his minions.

    Finally got a chance to go hunting today. No sign of Ptaraxadon or Galaxy upgrade prime. Saw several SS Rampages at Target in Round Rock off 45, but no SS Bumblebee Optimus. The Walmart across the street has an abundance of the Reissue prime cabs, and the rescue patrol minicon pack, but no ravage/laserbeak pack. A few days back I found a SS bumblebee Prime. at HEB on University in Round Rock, the only voyager there, so keep an eye out while Grocery shopping.

    This leads me to my next point. My wife pointed out that since this was my 100th Optimus, I should probably get back to my side project of pairing down my collection. And no she isn't making me sell it, I really just hate the fact that so much of my collection is in storage in a closet, when someone could be enjoying it. I have tried to clean, sort and organize a large portion of my older figures to sell, but have run out of room, literally. I managed to get through Alternators, A/E/C/ lines, and Animated and started organizing my Prime, Movie and Classics lines when I ran out of space. I'd prefer to sell in bulk per line and would accept trades (as you may guess I want few figures, mainly UW Baldigus and UW Megatronia). If you're in the central Texas/Austin area or know someone here who wants to bulk up their collection with older lines, Send me a message.
