    Thanks to Computron34, I got the Walmart Exclusive Scout 2 packs (Beachcomber & Deadlift, Slap Dash and Trenchmouth) at the College Station Walmart. Still about 2-3 each left. I also saw 2 Legends Devastators there. This was around noon on Saturday. The TRU around here is full of TFA deluxe Freeway Jazz and Electrostatic Soundwave, I hope we get in Animated Arcee and Cybertron Mode Ratchet in even though the shelves are full.

    Thanks for the tip, man. I got the last one on the shelf.

    They also had the Bumblebee/Soundwave 2-pack and the Scout 2-packs. Still plenty of each.

    Dude were they seriously sold out? Jeez those are popular. Have been at work since I got him so I haven't had a chance to mess with him. I'm pretty excited though.

    Wal-Mart in Denton had at least two cases of Legends Devs on their stocking pallet, night before last. The Transformers rack was pretty full, so I don't know if they unpacked them or not. I had a manager open one up for me (even though I couldn't buy it yet). For those who want to know, there's 4 to a case.

    Went by Bella Terra WalMart tonight. They didn't have any legend Devs. They had one Bumblebee/Soundwave 2 pack and a few of the scout 2 packs. I'm guessing WalMarts are getting the legend Devs in they just don't have room to put them out even though they could make room. I might check the Fry RD WalMart later this week.

    Sure enough. Maybe they have more in the back. I almost had to check. I have one cardinal rule when it comes to toy collecting. If there is a kid there and only 1 left, I give it to the kid. That happened. But once I told him how much it cost, he decided he couldn't afford it and went with the Bakugan toys in his hand instead. I hope he wasn't just being nice.... :[

    I'm excited, too. I brought mine to work to open. Fortunately, I work in the kind of place that allows that.

    TRU @1604/35 The Forum
    Nothing really new except the new Animated Ratchet.
    First time I have seen Clearance stickers on the shelves.
    The Decepticon Three Pack with Megs, Fallen, and Soundwave is marked clearance, but didn’t look like a clearance price to me.

    The I checked out ROSS and TJ Maxx... nothing... last time I am going to check these places out. I'll wait for someone else to spot something at these places.

    Finally, the Target at the Forum did not have anything new either.

    Walmart off Naco & 1604 has about 7 of the Legend Devastators; also for SW fans, the Evo packs are in clearance for $13

    Ok apparently I need to live either in the San Antinio area or Dallas area. I'm find squat down here plus I'm limited to places as their is only one Toys R Us, three WalMarts, and two Targets. Have to drive else where for other stores. Oh well just gotta be patient.

    come on, you live in the great city of houston! the 4th largest city in the world! all you have to do is drive a few more minutes compared to me. I live in Conroe which is 50 miles away from down town and takes me at least half a day if not 4 to 5 hours to execute a good hunt! I wish I lived in houston, actually now that I think of it if I lived in houston i would want to go out hunting everyday since there are stores everywhere! I once thought about moving back to the Rio Grande Valley to Rio Grande City, TX but decided not to since I wouldn't be able to enjoy all the hunting for tf's like I do up here. Either way patience is the way to go, I almost got carried away yesterday and went the ebay route for animated arcee. Good thing I stopped myself $50 from a houston seller after I had spent all weekend hunting wasn't feesable. Wish I would have seen it before I went out on the hunt, then I probably would have saved time and money

    Well DFW folks, start keeping your eyes peeled for the Skywarp clearance. I grabbed the last one from the Valley Ranch Wal-Mart for 30 bucks. No legends Devastator there, by the way.

    Anyone spotted Animated Ratchet and Arcee in DFW? No dice for me last week.
