Tonight, I found an untapped vain of freshly stocked deluxe Transformers Prime figures at...Walgreens.

Up front by the registers was a red cardboard corrigate Christmas shipper that had transformers in it. They had 1 deluxe Ratchet, 1 Vehicon, 2 Wheel Jacks, 1 Fruity Pebble Wheel Jack (Dead End) and 1 Airachnid! There may have been a few more but after I saw Airachnid, i stopped digging back. I know she has lame hands and well...is lame, but I wanted her to perhaps just keep in alt mode as a hanging piece in my display over my primes. The price was supposed to be 14.99 but they had them priced wrong at 10.49...and thats what I walked out with her for.

Happy Hunting!

Ah, that's the elusive wave 4 revision that we all wanted and eventually turned up at Aldi. It has
1 x Hot Shot
1 x Ratchet
1 x Knock Out
1 x Wheeljack
1 x Dead End
1 x Airachnid
2 x Vehicon
Nice to see it popping up elsewhere.

So while I worked the graveyard shift lastnight, I took total advantage of the situation this morning. I swung by the Mall of GA TRU and sure enough on the shelves & pegs were FOC Soundwave, Soundblaster, Ratbat/Frenzy, and Ravage/Rumble. I couldn't help myself and I also took advantage of their buy 1 get 40% off deal.

Awesome!

But what did you leave behind? Did you by chance see any voyager dreadwings?Im driving past there tomorrow night...will consider braving the crowd if worth it.

I grabbed 1 Ratbat/Frenzy, 1 Ravage/Rumble, 1 Soundwave, and 1 Soundblaster. I don't remember seeing any Dreadwings, but I remember seeing a lot of Starscreams, Ultra Magnus', and Thundertrons. It was very messy and unsorted at the time also. Good luck

Ok, Thanks!

I was at the Target right next to Perimeter Mall tonight and they had 3 Rumbles, 3 Knockouts, 2 Kups and 2 Vehicons. I was there right before close so these should all be there tomorrow. I'm going to check the Cumberland TRU tomorrow as well. I'll let you guys know if I find anything interesting!

I did the rounds in Buford today.
Ross and Marshall's: nothing notable. One or two RID Starscreams each, a couple old DOTM knicknacks, and I think I saw one RID Knock Out.
TRU near MOGA: Someone else got there RIGHT before me and snagged the last First Edition Bulkhead, as well as a FE Starscream. Was that any of you guys? Anyway, all that was left was a ton, and I mean a TON, of DOTM deluxes. They had filled up most of the pegs and were taking up the top shelf space, with at least 3 more cases on top of the shelf waiting to be put out. 8 Masterpiece Thundercrackers, a few Optimus Maximii, and maybe 2 representatives each of Generations FOC and Prime waves 1, plus a bunch of RID Starscreams. Oh, and those Bot Shots 5-packs. There was one new thing, though, and that was the FOC minibot two-packs. I saw both Frenzy/Ratbat and Rumble/Ravage in multiples. No FOC Voyagers, though.
Target: A few FOC Combaticons and a lot of Cyberverse and Bot Shots.
TJ Maxx: Same story as Ross and Marshall's. I noticed at these three locations a lot of M.A.R.S. sets I haven't seen at the bigger retailers, like the dinosaurs and the armor bots. Anybody know anything more about these? They're kinda nifty looking.
Wal Mart: Once again, nothing to see here.
I also stopped by the Lawrenceville Wal Mart on L'ville Suwannee west of I-85 because it's near my route, nothing there either.

At all locations, I found they were just about clean out of deluxes after Christmas, but had a bunch of Cyberverse and Bot Shots stuff, and the only voyagers to be found were Starscreams.

Wal Mart is heavily discounting most of their Prime stuff. I believe it was 50% off all Legions, Commanders, and Deluxes. Good time to snag that missing figure for your collection or build your Legion Vehicon army.

The other day, I picked up a Voyager Starscream for $13 after tax at the Ross by the Lawrenceville Target. The corresponding Marshall's had nothing new, although I saw a couple Generations Wheeljacks for $8 that I considered getting (ultimately passed). I might have the two stores backwards as far as what I found where, but it doesn't really matter, it's a five minute walk from one to the other.

I am currently missing only three figures from my complete Prime RID collection: Skyquake, Shadow Strike Bumblebee, and Rumble. Skyquake hasn't been spotted yet, Shadow Bee I'll get if I can find one at a TJ Rossall's, and Rumble I'll take at any price (well, $15 or less). PLEASE GIVE ME A HEADS-UP IF YOU FIND A RUMBLE IN THE GWINNETT COUNTY AREA. I'll head out to Pleasant Hill tomorrow to give that area a look, but it's generally not been very good for finds. Thank you, all.

I have some surprising news to share with you guys! I was at the TRU on Cobb Pkwy near Cumberland mall and I found 3 out of 4 of deluxe wave 1 of TFP Beast Hunters! They had Lazerback, Wheeljack and Soundwave.

They only had one of each and I nabbed the Lazerback but left the other two. I used my TRU rewards coupon for $5 off and got him for a little over $11. They also had the FOC data disks, two FE Bulkheads, and two FE Terrorcon Cliffjumpers. Needless to say, the Beast Hunters deluxes shocked me. I did not expect to see these on the east coast, let alone GA for at least another month. However, Beast Hunters are in GA! Happy hunting!

I'm seriously considering heading over there tomorrow to snag a Bulkhead, because I've been wanting one of those for a freaking year. I'll also look around for a Rumble.

Today I headed out to Pleasant Hill to check Toys R Us, Marshalls,TJ Maxx, and Target. I saw BH Soundwave at the TRU, and they also had the data discs, but nothing else notable at any location. Well, Target had a single Kup, but I've already got him. So yes, I can reaffirm with Rhinox that Beast Hunters has LANDED in Georgia. Let the hunt begin anew!
