Not a big find, but hopefully a sign that things will be showing up soon, my walmart had transformers prime roleplay masks in the isle. Surely this means some tr prime toys will be showing soon.

My Gainesville Target has 2 Bumblebee Prime Battle Masks on the aisle. The one Walmart actually had TF Prime RID Deluxes for $12.88 - 3 Bumblebee, 1 Wheeljack, and 1 Cliffjumper. The weird thing about the placement at this Walmart - they redid the toy aisle recently, so the peg warming DOTM and other action figures sit across from a clearance aisle, and I happened to see a tag listed as TRA Cliffjumper for $12.88 in amongst the clearance stuff (normal yellow tag, NOT red clearance tag), and directly across from the DOTM. I slid a clearance item of of the way (it was in front of the $12.88 tag mentioned above), and sure enough, there were the Prime RID Delxues. No sign of Voyagers, but I'd say the Prime RID figures should be out in full force soon.

Sup guys. Target on the corner of semeron and 434 in Altamonte springs have RiD figs:
Handful of BB, 2 Wheeljacks, 4 cliffs, and one arcee. Left them all but I did manage to snag the last soundwave. Whew! Unfortunately no ratchet yet...

Gainesville Target now has TF Prime Deluxes and Voyagers. I snagged the last Voyager Megatron, leaving: (8) Bumblebees, (4) Cliffjumpers, (4) Wheeljacks, and (4) Voyager Optimus Primes. NO trace of Soundwave, and give what's left on the shelf, I guess that means 2-3 Soundwaves are probably sitting either in the back stockroom or were purchased before I got there :(

Walmart on Archer Road has the same as my previous report: (3) Bumblebees, (1) Cliffjumper, and (1) Wheeljack.

Found the first wave of Bot Shots at the Walmart on Colonial Drive in Ocoee. They had a couple Bumblebee, Barricade and Starscream, plus a hand full of Optimus. No Sentinel Prime unfortunately. Bought 1 of each.

To my surprise, I have NOT been able to spot any RID deluxes since my last post. It's weird to see that the WalMart (where I found Megs and Wheeljack) does NOT have pegs for RID at all this time. Lots of Botshots, and suprisingly, DOTM repaints. Last time I was there DOTM looked like they were out the door. Now, their back! WHY?

Better off checking out Target later this week I guess.

I'd assume they are trying to move their stocks, not that they will move any faster then they have. Walmart needs to just mark them half off and be done with DOTM.

My Walmart also didn't truly make a place for the new figures I found. The bot shots were hanging on Cyberverse pegs (which I didn't realize at the time, and thought bot shots were a whole dollar more expensive. It was a pleasant suprise at the counter though, when I spent 16 bucks on 4 instead of 20).

I've noticed that the Wal Marts around me (I'm in Maryland) have marked their DOTM deluxes down to $7.27. If you guys have some of those $3 off coupons its worth checking out since they expire this Saturday. Can't really beat crappy deluxes for under $5!!

Toys R Us and Target in Gainesville are both OVERLOADED with TF Prime Bumblebees - 11 at Target and 7 at TRU :( No Voyagers at Target, but about 8 Voyager Optimus and 4 Voyager Megatron. No change at the closer Walmart in the toy aisle for like 3 weeks. The few TF Prime things they have are still scattered on pegs in the clearance section, but of course have yellow tags (instead of the red clearance). Meanwhile, DOTM at Walmart deluxes continues be in full force, 4 pegs and a quart of an end cap :(

I REALLY hope Hasbro figures out their case assortment SUCKS - I don't want to pay eBay or scalper prices online to pick up the figures they short pack like Soundwave or Ratchet, but I fear that's what I'll be forced to do soon.
