I would try TRU tomorrow, they get their new shipments on Wednesdays.

Regarding Vehicon, I'm seeing buy it now for $39.99. My suggestion is to wait it out at least until the end of June, because we're just seeing these waves hit around here the past few weeks. People were complaining about Wave 1's Soundwave and Wave 2's Arcee and Ratchet, and now they're a lot easier to find on shelves (just not abundantly).

Patience (and maybe a friendly site-member) is key to victory.

Very true. I'm just a little gun shy regarding buying figures that I really want. I mean, with Hasbro's recent poor distribution trends and the fact that several figures that were "promised" to fans were just outright cancelled, I'm a little tired of paying out the ass on eBay because I was being patient waiting for popular figures.

But you're right, deep down I don't think Vehicon will suffer the same fate as RTS Windcharger...

I actually picked up vehicon and knockout last week at a Wal-Mart in Pensacola. ( On vacation) They should be here soon. No worries.

Stopped at the Target on Vets and found the latest wave of Botshots (Wave 3). Picked up Jetfire, Lockdown, Topspin, and Thundercracker. There were a few left, but not many. Also saw Cyberverse Ironhide there but left him since I was looking for Dreadwind.

On my way to Walmart on Vets with the missus. I'll let you guys know if I find anything new.

*EDIT*

Just got back from Walmart. I saw a Voyager Bulkhead, but that's it. I guess that's good news though. Wave 3 Deluxes can't be too far behind.

Little victory this evening. Visiting some friends in BR, on my way out I stopped at the Wal-Mart on College. Someone put out a brand new case of PRiD Deluxes, and I got a Vehicon. About to open him in a bit.

What this means to the rest of you: there are 2 Hot Shots and 2 Knock Outs there. Did not see Voyager Bulkhead or Starscream, nor did I see CV Ironhide or Dreadwing (want!).

I might try to find that Bulkhead Wolfy left behind earlier, but not sure what the day will bring.

Happy Memorial Day everyone!

On my way to a bbq in Chalmette and i decide to stop at the walmat on judge perez for some extra beer. What do i find? Wave 3 deluxes baby! Snagged the lone vehicon and one knockout!

Stopped by the following places today:
TRU on Vets: Nothing new
Target on Vets: Nothing new
KMart on Vets: Nothing new
Wal-mart on Vets: Bulkhead was gone; So nothing new

On a side note; I did find the KRE-O Optimus Prime Kreon that has the open chest sticker. It was in a clearence bin for $1.25 at the KMART on vets. 3 of em left.

I happened to pop by a few stores in Metairie and didn't see anything new. I'm shocked the Parish had new stuff as they're usually pretty barren. On a side note, I had some guy pull up next to me right after I left Wal Mart, call me "boy" and threaten to shoot me for cutting him off on a one way street (which, oddly, never happened). When I asked "What the f*** are you talking about ass****?!" He sped off rambling on about lynching me... Ah, good ol' Southern racism. Gotta love it, lol.

Nabbed a Knock out from the Clearview Super Wal mart.. After opening him and transforming him I think I will leave him in bot mode and display him..
I should have picked up the Vehicon... Oh well I will get one eventually..

That sucks that that guy said that to you.. Kind of funny because last week while I was walking around the french market for lunch a group of kids called me a stupid looking "cracker and "white faggot" (no offense to anyone, just reporting what I was called) for not giving them money (they were tap dancing next to a building)..

racism definitely sucks.

Yea, it definitely sucks CB. What sucks even more is the fact that there's a good chance those kids were some of my students. We've recently heard about some of the school's students hanging out in the quarters, tap dancing for money, and harassing tourists... With cases like that, I just have to blame the parents.

Also, speaking of things sucking, it sucks that you passed on Vehicon dude! He's such an awesome figure; definitely one of the better (and cheaper) Transformers I've got this year. Though I did win an MISB G2 Redux Ramjet for 40 bucks a few nights ago. Maybe he (and the Wingblade Animated Prime I have coming to me) will wow me more than Vehicon. Doubt it though.

I'll nab one eventually.. I may swing back today and see if it is still there.
