    I picked up Walmart Netflix Megatron, Hotlink, and Mirage at Coit and George Bush in Plano. There were plenty of Hotlinks left and a single Megatron. No Scrapfaces unfortunately, one Chromia, and of the rest of the deluxes.

    1 SS Sentinel Prime at Westoaks Walmart. Also available are Netflix deluxes except Scrapface, Earthrise Hoist, and some Siege deluxes. Is it just me or has scalpers completely sweeped the stores of Scrapface? Doesn't help that he seems to be the one people want most out of the Netflix stuff.

    edit: edited :p

    Found Netflix Hotlink and Megatron at the Walmart off 79 and Redbud in Round Rock. Took one Hotlink, there was one left and the 2 megs as well. There were no other Netflix, Studio Series, Earthrise, or Siege figures. The only other Transformers were wave 1 Cyberverse Deluxes. Hopefully that means a shelf reset soon. Also of note is that the Walmarts in the area are closing at 5PM due to the protests in Austin, and it was a mad house. So if you are going to go and try to get one of these figures, go early.

    I think people are getting 3 for the camera mode and it being 1 per case makes it hard to get 3 not to mention its also a walmart exclusive

    As of yesterday, I saw 1 Netflix Megs and 3 Hotlinks, and 1 SS Scrapper at the 9929 Hwy 6 Walmart. Almost grabbed Megs for myself, but I figured someone else might want him more than "eh, he's cool I guess". There was also some misc. Cyberverse stuff (a LOT of the big Grimlocks) and some ER Grapples. Not much else. Oh, and 4 of the Empire Strikes Back Retro Collection: 1 of Lando, Han, Luke and Yoda each.

    Well finally. Wal-Mart at Kuykendahl and 2920 has the Netflix cardboard display set up and stocked. Still two Hotlinks, three Megs and a few of each deluxes left.

    I had to run into Walmart at LBJ/Midway this morning. All the new Earthrise TFs and Netflix TFs are in big display near toys (walking towards back of store) with a few in toy aisle. Should have taken a picture of display. Also saw two Netflix Mystery Boxes in the aisle.

    For any Stars Wars fans, all the Retro figures are there except Boba Fett. I grabbed the last one along with a Hoth Han. More than a few of each but some, like my Boba, have really bent cards. It is like the stock person pulled an entire set from a small hole of the box, lol. Saw two Skiffs marked down to $25.

    Hey gang! It's been a while! It pains me to say it, but the next step of phasing out non-MPs has arrived. As such, I've got a small selection I'm putting up for sale, and as is my custom, the Texas boards get first dibs (and the freedom to make offers before I set prices).
    Nothing super fancy, but if you're interested, just PM me.

    Studio Series
    Leader:
    Jetfire
    Grimlock
    Voyager :
    Optimus Prime (32? The one that combines with Jetfire)
    Deluxe:
    Drift (helicopter)
    Bumblebee (classic Camaro)
    Jazz
    Roadbuster

    Other
    AoE Voyager Scorn (second run)
    AoE Voyager Hound (second run)
    AoE Slug (second run)
    RotF Sideswipe

    That's it for now. I thunk I have a few more packed away, but I'll revisit that later.
    All are loose, complete, include instructions, and I can provide pics as requested. If you're interested in multiple items, I'll take that into consideration with pricing and shipping.

    Thanks, y'all! Good to be back.

    Having such a hard time finding him, but I got everyone else in 1 go. Tons of the other 5 at the 5501 Hwy 6 Walmart. The cards are slightly bent on most but that's not a big deal for me. I think someone who stocks the shelves at one of my Walmarts picked Boba Fetts all out before putting the rest in the aisle. That or I got a lightning fast scalper out here. The hunt continues!

    Oh, Transformers-related question: does anyone else exclusively encounter Netflix Chromias and Hounds with no Scrapface in site? Might just want to get one because of the cool paintjob, but I have only seen 1 in the past 30 or so days.

    My local Walmart when I run up there usually only has the same with an odd Sideswipe mixed in. A couple weeks back I did happen to find 1 Mirage and Scrapface but that has been the only time.

    I went to Harker Heights this morning first to Target, they didn't have much in terms of new releases except 1 Earthrise Optimus, 3 Hoists, 2 Starscreams, no two packs, was not interested in looking for me either. Then proceeded to Walmart across the freeway where they had the majority of Wave 1 Earthrise figures, Netflix Versions of all but Magnus....I scored one of the Hotlink figures so I guess that's my Skywarp now.

    Seems like there was a restock this weekend. Might want to give a few stores a try.

    Scrapface is only one per case right? I expect that's the main issue.
