    Already found Kickback at the start of this month, and he was not in my local Walmart, I had to go out of town to to find him.

    I did see the Walmart exclusive Legacy Nightprowler and Buzzsaw at the Tomball Walmart off Business 249 late yesterday (around 5:00 PMish). They also had a Leader Legacy G2 Laser Prime as well.

    Just got back from the 5017 E Hwy 290 Walmart, they had 3 Buzzsaw and Nightprowler, and I took one of two Sandstorms. They also had a couple RED Knockouts, an SS Soundwave & Slag, and a Laser Prime, if anyone still needs those. (Forgot to get a pic of them.)

    My dad found Nightprowler and Sandstorm in Addison, no Buzzsaw but very well. Even he questioned how they're the only ones with windows.

    Found Nightprowler, Sandstorm, and Buzzsaw at a Walmart off 75 in Allen on my way home this evening.

    Someone on Twitter said they’d seen them in grapevine as well.

    Found Beast Wars Vintage Optimus Primal at my local Walmart for $40.00 in the clearance aisle days ago, and I passed it up because you don't need to put a price that high on it when it's marked for clearance, who in their right mind would do such a thing?! It's a stupid idea to put something for $40.00 in a clearance aisle!

    What I came across a few times; toys that don't sell going in the clearance section for full price. The only explanation I can think of is they want you to think its a clearance price when it's really not. A collector wouldn't fall for it, but someone buying "it" for a kid might.

    Been a long time since I went to a Walmart again, but after getting tired of the endless emails about the Legacy Beast Wars repaints, I just cancelled my online orders and figured I'd go look for them lol. Found Nightprowler and Buzzsaw at Austin Lakeline, with one more Nightprowler left. Not much else there notable I think. Forget how bad this one is...

    Might have to go check out Cedar Park or Round Rock this weekend now for Sandstorm and the new BW vintage releases. And finding a Bronx would be swell too..

    Well, I went back to the clearance aisle at my local Walmart, and now I found that the Vintage Beast Wars Optimus Primal figures were now marked down to $20.00. Compare that to what I said earlier, I'm not complaining about the price drop, so I'm thankful that somebody corrected the problem. I think that it won't be repeated again, at least I hope it won't.

    Marshall, Texas. Not every Walmart is going to do the same thing.

    Also, on another note, I found Legacy Blaster on the shelves as well. Legacy Galvatron hasn't arrived on the shelves yet so I'm gonna wait until he's on those shelves.
