I checked the TRU, Target, and Wal Mart near Mall of Georgia today. A TRU employee told me he didn't think they had any Prime stuff that wasn't on shelves. As far as I noticed, that includes no wave 2 Legion. Wal Mart had the usual mixed bag of DOTM and Prime stuff, nothing new. And Target.....my god, what I saw there was unbelievable. Check it out.

I officially give up hunting for new stuff. I'll either order the guys I want online or buy them at Savcon this June.

Im with ya...I have checked so many Wally Worlds, Targets and a few TRUs and....nothing, in terms of Prime wave 3. I am pretty much after vehicon but I have not seen any Knock Outs or Hot Shots. I have seen a few Ratchets though.

The only rarity I have found was the Bot Shot Bumblebee clear yellow chase figure. I found him down in the Thomaston Wally World .

Your pic of the BBs in Target is pretty sad... I almost went to tears in your disappointment, turning the corner and seeing a peg board like that.

Have you been to Savcon before?...was thinking about making the trip but it just seems so...small. Not sure if it is worth the 4 hour drive for me to go. I wish they would post the names of some of the vendors.

By the way...I am in the Fayette-Coweta area. About 30 miles south of Atlanta.

Well of course it's small, it's their first year. (which also means no, I haven't gone before

) And heck, getting Neil Kaplan and Gregg Berger in the first year is pretty impressive. It's not Peter Cullen but it's still known-name actors who played main characters in TF shows. Hopefully, as years pass and word gets out, the con will grow and attract more people and higher profile guests. As-is, I'm going because it's the closest TF convention to me by a long shot, and indeed the only Transformers con in the southeast US, except when Botcon goes to Tampa.
As for the dealers, I figure there probably won't be anybody with super rare stuff to sell, but there's almost guaranteed to be a booth or two selling current mainline Hasbro stuff, which is the biggest thing I'm after right now. That and hopefully a ROTF Bruticus Maximus and/or Prime FE Bulkhead. I honestly don't know what else to expect, and that's a pretty exciting prospect to me.

Yeah the Mall of GA area is still bare. I'll check back tomorrow. Haven't checked much elsewhere lately. I will check out the Athens area tomorrow after I get off work. Still just see a ton of BB, a few Cliffjumpers, and a few Soundwaves and thats about it.

OK! Finally we hit paydirt! 1 Vehicon, 1 Knock Out and 2 Hot Shots in the Peachtree City Wal-Mart. All I got was the Vehicon... the KO and HS are still hanging.

I found a lone Voyager Starscream at the Lawrenceville Target (On L'ville-Suwannee and 20) on Sunday. No Bulkhead, no Deluxe wave 3, no new Cyberverse. I didn't take it, but I can't guarantee somebody else hasn't by now. I checked the Snelville Target (on Scenic Highway and Ronald Reagan) but they didn't have anything new in any Prime assortment.

Was out at the Mall of GA area today. Walmart and Target had the same old stuff. Target is starting to clearance out the DOTM items and a few of the Prime helmets. On a good note I found Deadend and Strike Force BB @ Toys R Us.

When I was there last Saturday, the Buford Wal Mart had several of the Cyberverse playsets. Did those all get snapped up already? Also, MoGA TRU had Commander waves 2 and 3. I picked up a Dreadwing and Nightwatch Prime.
