The TRU in Lafayette similarly did not have a price tag for MP Thundercracker when I bought mine, so it's not that unbelievable that yours didn't either. Also I heard that the one in BR had a price tag, but put TC on different shelf space.

No sign of Dreadwing here in Lafayette, me and another guy have been looking regularly.

I found TF Prime Sgt. Kup @ the Clearview Wal Mart.. I just missed Rumble too.. I like Kup, although he is not my "kup"... Have to figure out who he will become..

I picked up Cyberverse Breakdown and Knock Out at the Wal-Mart on Vets this past Saturday. Other wave mates include Stealth Bumblebee, Fallback (Breakdown recolor), and Flame War. I've also seen the new set of TF Prime deluxes at Walmart in Algiers (the whole case was freshly shelved), so I had an opportunity to see Kup and Rumble before they go bye bye. Thankfully, I had a case on preorder which came in yesterday. Anyone interested in a TF:P Kup, PM me for a price.

I posted this on the main TF Toys forum, but TRU is having a sale through this Saturday, Kre-os are Buy One Get One Free. If anyone has been waiting for a sale, I believe NOW is the time. You'll also see a sticker on some of the boxes giving you an extra $5 a Kre-o set over $14.99 (I'm pretty sure that's the minimum), so have at you crazy building fools. I look forward to Devastator coming in, since I ordered him online before I knew the sale was in store as well.

And if anyone is still trying to get MP Thundercracker, I've seen him twice at the TRU in Marrero (but they aren't any today, try tomorrow). Don't give in to e-Bay prices, just be patient. You'll need the extra cash for MP Optimus when he comes out in about 3 weeks.

Also, at Ross on Manhattan, some Dark of the Moon figures are available at cut-rate prices. Leader class BB and Sentinel were $22.99, Voyager Shockwave and Optimus were $12.99. If anyone happens to run across a Skyhammer, I'd be interested.

Yea, I saw him there when I got off work. I would have bought him, but I was impatient and bought one on eBay for 50 bucks last week... :-x
I was just a little paranoid that he'd be impossible to find since he's short packed. I half expected a PRID Vehicon level of shortage for this character.

I'm really looking for the GDO Deluxes, though. I wonder when TRU is getting them...

I noticed the scouts there this afternoon as well. I really want the deluxes though. Hopefully they'll be out when I check tomorrow evening.

Finally sound the GDO Deluxes at TRU. It was a pain in the ass buying them, though, because they weren't in the system for some reason. Took about 30 minutes to talk the clerks into just ringing up the old Generation figures to take the place of the GDO's.

I bought Wheelie and Swerve. There were 2 Cliffjumpers, a Wheelie, and a Swerve left. No sign of Springer; which is really odd because that means someone must have bought two of them and experienced the same problem I did with purchasing the figure. However, the way the clerks were acting, you'd have sworn I was trying to swindle them out of their paychecks by suggesting they ring them us as old TF Generations Deluxes.

I actually drove right past TRU today and thought to myself "Should I stop and check? I was just there yesterday... Nah, couldn't be anything new!" That's what I get for not listening to the plastic-crack head inside of me that was screaming "Stop now!!! Gogogogo!".
