    !

    I'm not really a collector of any TFs besides Alts, but I was out in Bastrop today and stopped by the Wal-Mart out there. They have a Primus with Unicron head, if anyone wants to drive that far for it. If I had an extra 50 bucks laying around, I'd get it. Giant transforming planet... *drool*

    Found Primus w/ Unicron at the Frisco Wal-Mart. Last one there, but it does prove they exist in Dallas. Wal-Mart's price scanner database referred to it as "Primus with unicorn". No unicorns found in the box I bought.

    There are also bubble Tracks, Rollbar, Meister and Skids. I scavenged through the entire isle, both sides, trying to find freakin' Mirage or Optimus... bupkis. Millenium Falcons there, too.

    Wow, it's like a whole 'nother world in here. Anyway, greetings fellow TF collectors, I'm in the Dallas area visiting the family and I'm a Transfan from San Jose, CA. Naturally, I'm hitting everything I can and hard. I am not sure the Titaniums have been spotted at Wal-marts in the Dallas area, but if not, I can tell you for sure that they just came out at the 24-hr Wal-mart in Lewisville off 3040/Round Rock Rd. There were 2 of each of the 6" Prime and Megs. and 2 boxes of the 3" stuff (each box contained BW Megs, WW Prime, Unicron, and whoever else came in that set, can't recall the rest). I went in at midnight and the stocker was just putting them out. Get 'em while they're hot! If anyone needs anything, PM me and maybe I'll look for it for you. I'll be in town for the week. Oh, and you guys should get organized (if you haven't already), check out our Bay Area site norcaltoys.com for possible inspiration. We have the sightings section blocked, so only members can see it (effectively keeps the scalpers out). Later and good luck!

    Hi, <b>Triformis</b>, thanks for the tip! I work in Garland, I'm gonna try to scoot over there during my lunch break and get the 6" Titaniums. See any of the newer Alternators around? I'm looking for Camshaft, and a co-worker friend who collects Alts is still searching for Prime and Mirage. Thanks!

    Well, I hate to encroach on fellow fans' territory, but San Jose is full of scalpers, so I was sent here on a mission to grab anything and everything I can find that people need. In this case, it's SW crap, WM wave, and Alts. If I see a Prime, I'll reserve it for you, but I still need 1 Mirage and some Camshafts. My eyes shall remain peeled for those and extras!

    Well, I drove like a scalded cat to Lewisville Walmart at lunch, and those 6" Titaniums were already gone. :(  Oh well...

    My co-worker friend called me from the Walmart in Rowlett, said he found and bought the only Alt. Camshaft there - so he beat me to a new product for a change. No Alt. Prime or Mirage - someone already got those, apparently, so my friend is still looking for those two. In addition to the 6" Titaniums, I'm also looking for a Cybertron Quickmix, as well.

    Thanks again for the tip, <b>Triformis</b>! (Even though it didn't pan out.) :D

    Sorry about that, ChaoCatcher....they were there, I swear! I should have picked them up...Well, there's still a single 6" Megs at the Wal-mart off Trinity Mills Rd. in Carrollton as off 12:30 AM on 7/26 and they have 2 cases of the 3" figs. coming off a pallet. At the Wal-mart off Main St. in Lewisville, there are a number of the 3" figs. on the pegs and 1 Primus with Unicron head as of 1 AM on 7/26. Alas, no Quickmix. I've only seen him thrice and that was, of course, in CA. Had I know he was that hard to find in these parts, I would brought an extra one..ah, well...Good luck!

    No problem, thanks anyway. :)  If anyone in the Dallas area still needs a Primus, the Target on North Garland Avenue off George Bush Tollway just put 6 of them on the shelf yesterday (non-Unicron head variety, unfortunately). That store is also in the process of doing a major re-shuffle of the action figure aisle, and my co-worker friend is checking it out when they open first thing this morning to see if anything else new comes up there.

    I hit the Mopac/290 stores this evening. Target had one set left of the new 10th anniversary Beast Wars Primal and Megatron. Walmart had the Alternators Camshaft and Meister. I took the Mirage. No 6" Titaniums though.

    I picked up a 6" Titanium War Within Prime and Megatron at the College Station ToysRUs yesterday late afternoon. They got in 2 of each. I left one of each there.
