    Good news! If you missed Kingdom Ultra Magnus for any reason - Charlottesville Target has you covered.
    Bad News. Slag was not there. (but don't hesitate to stop anyway, they could still put stuff out between now and then. )

    went by ollie's on broad in RVA, they had 3-4 cases of hyperreal vader for $30, 4-6 per case. Not my cup of tea. There was a scalper there checking everything in the toy section on his phone, but he didn't buy any vaders. No other TFs/marvel/star wars of note.

    Macy's in Tyson's Corner Center has their toy section all set up, on the lower level. They've got a bunch of Cyclonus and Rhinox at the moment. No SS or anything else, but I'm sure they'll get more as these sell off.

    The little shop next to Macy's (I forget its name; Egg-something...?) had some random face-changing Mighty Muggs. There were a couple each of Soundwave, Wingblade, and Ratchet. (I grabbed 1 of the Soundwaves.)

    I’m at Universal Studios right now and they have a ton of WreckGar, Gnaw, Waspinator, and more. If anyone wants me to pick something up for them, I’m happy to, understanding that Universal is charging double the retail cost. Let me know, I head back to Va tomorrow!

    Does anyone local have any interest in a Fans Toys Bombshell and Shrapnel (Grenadier & Mercenary)? I'm looking for $225 for the pair or $125 each. Just checking to see if there's any local interest before I try to sell them online somewhere.

    I don’t recall seeing that Megatron statue anywhere before. Is this a new sighting?

    Legitimately not sure. Never really paid attention to the statues as I don't collect them. Sorry!

    I asked @mirarage over in the PA Sightings because he’s a pretty knowledgeable guy and I’ve seen him notice new sightings that the posters didn’t know they had found. Just because I’ve never seen it doesn’t mean it’s a new sighting, but if it is I’d love to see you get a credit for it!

    Praise will get you everywhere.
    Here's my response from PA sightings.

    It's possible/probable it was spotted at gamestop.
    I don't go in them that often.
    And I'm not really into the statues
    I would do the title search.
    You never know.

    Thanks for the heads up. I think we did posted about those statues, but let me check about it.
