I was cruising through the toy aisle at my local Walmart (Pearl, Ms) and I came across the Rodimus, Cyclonus Battle in Space box set. I figured I would post this for all those still looking to check their locations. $19.97- not a bad price.....

Found 2 in Live Oak, FL WalMart. Left 1 for someone. Found Jazz at Walgreens just a few minutes prior. It's been a good hunting day.

I dunno where Live Oak is but I'm in St. Pete, just south of Tampa. I found three of those packs in my local Target. Are there painted faction symbols under the rub signs? I didn't pick any of them up for myself and I'd like to know. I don't know why there wouldn't be, they look exactly like the Challenge at Cybertron figures just with added rub signs. Anyone know?

NW of Gainesville. I'll check in the AM. I was going to pull the one from Cyclonus anyway (it overhangs on either side).

BTW anyone need a Classics Rodimus? Displayed for the past few years, does have a minor stress mark on shoulder, otherwise great.

Right on, thanks. What are you asking for the Classics Rodimus, I may be interested.

No insignia underneath. :-(

Oh well, looks better without it anyway.

I was at Walmart the other day and came across this set. I really like it but was undecided as to what to do with the Matrix, so..

by **NTESHFT** » Sun Jan 02, 2011 8:56 am

Interesting... was going to look for a chain for mine, but I may do this instead......

i have the challenge on cybertron set, but this set is really growing on me!

Found one at Target in PA on Friday morning. Box was a bit beat up, but I shredded that anyway!

Anyone notice just how easily these rubsigns peel off? It's almost like they want to be removed.

Put my matrix in my g1 optimus chest. It fits perfectly and looks awesome

by **OptiMagnus** » Mon Jan 03, 2011 8:27 pm

Holy slag I found some at Target already! Along with the Fallen and Highwire. Too bad I already dumped all my cash on a PS Move navi controller and MAG today. I must go back and get WFC Bee and legends Ravage too.

Bummer.

These have shown up at both Walmart and Target in my area. I snagged one at Walmart.

Now I need to decide whether I want to part with Battle In Space or Challenge At Cybertron. In favor of the latter, real insignias. In favor of the former, a matrix and comic that's an interesting bit of retcon.

Or maybe I'll open them both up and sell the surplus figures as opened items. Sigh.

Darn.

Maybe I'll just slap reprolabels over them and call it a day. I'm almost thinking I shouldn't have preordered from BBTS, since they're showing up everywhere for cheaper... knowing Canada though, it's probably still a deal compared to our retail price.

saw 2 at a MA Target yesterday

News Credits: 3 · by **bvzxa** » Mon Jan 10, 2011 2:15 pm

Got the last one at Target yesterday. They also had PCC Sledge which I couldn't find any of him. So now I have wave 1 Opened, Wave 2 an Wave 3 plus the 5 packs.

IF you want to know I think this is the same matrix that came with the New Year's Convoy set I had back in 2002. You could fit the matrix inside G1 Prime/Convoy real easy.

I glad I canceled my preorder with BBTS where it would have cost me another $15 because they wanted $24 + 10 to ship it. So I got it for $20 not bad for being patient.

Don't get me wrong I still buy from BBTS...I love shopping there and at TF Source but I got a new job with Apple Computers so the checks should start rolling in.

I found the set at Target as well. I was a little hesitant, but I think I'll get it later.

by **STINGRAY749** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 10:23 pm

I picked mine up at a Walmart yesterday. I almost missed it until my wife saw a box turned over. I absolutely love this set and they finally got the colors right.

As far as the Matrix being the same one from New Year's Convoy, I don't have that to compare it to but it would make sense. The Matrix not only fits into the chest of G1 Prime, it actually locks into place on a groove.
