So you've said... A few times...
Anyways, nothing in Jacksonville, Florida today. Checked my usual four Wal-Marts plus even went to the one on Phillips & Emerson. Nothing.
Oh, and anybody that heard about the Cybertron Leader figures at the Regency TRU from me... They're gone now. Sorry dudes. Keep hitting those Family Dollars. Maybe you'll get lucky.

Big honking load of nothing.
Although for non Masterpiece Starscream related news...
I got confirmation from a contact at the (Jacksonville) Regency TRU today. Their deliveries come on Wednesday and an overnight crew stocks the shelves. So any of you representing the 904 that are still hunting for rare movie figures like Concept Bumblebee or Arcee, hit the Regency TRU as early as possible on Thursdays. Their doors open at 10am.

Guess that shoots down your Nov. 15th theory.
I didn't see anything today. If I hadn't just downed four sleeping pills, I'd go back out to the out-of-the-way Wal-Marts around here, since I only hit up two of my usual Wally Worlds.

meat wad, where did you find MP Starscream? I checked three of the Super Walmarts in tampa. I didn't see him. A little more info would be great. Thanks! Oh yeah, hi everybody! I'm new here, but have been collecting Transformers for awhile now. I'll be on the look out in the Tampa area. Let me know if anybody is looking for something in particular.

For those in Jax the Walmart on Monument has 3 Masterpiece SS left. Look on the top shelf to the left of the movie Transformers.

Give the scalpers a map, why don't you?
Ah well, anyways. I got one today.
Can't post pictures, but I'm sure my accomplice in crime, Larsgoes2hell, will be more than happy to delight all of you with pictures of his later tonight.

My apologies I misunderstood the meaning of "sightings" and with 3 left there isn't much to scalp anyway.

If there had been a buttload of them left, then I might be a little miffed. But since there were only three, sounds like the scalpers had already come and gone...
At any rate, I got my MP Starscream at a Wally that did have a buttload of the things. But I'm not going to post it in a public forum, because scalpers do come to these boards here to get tips.
That being said, any Jacksonville guys that want to know where my buttload (I think I've overused that word by now) was found at, shoot me a PM.

Bah Weep Grannah Weep Ninni Bong
I'm in New Port Richey and haven't found MP Starscream yet
Funny I was about to ask if anybody in the Tampa area had seen him yet

Open 24 hours... Just need to get rid of that annoying thing called sleep...
Luckily, I was diagnosed with insomnia when I was sixteen, so finding time in the day to fit in everything I want to do is a simple matter of just not taking my meds.

Thanks everyone for the welcome! Oldsmar is a little out of the way for me, hopefully other Walmarts in tampa have them soon. well, the hunt continues. If anyone else spots him in Tampa please post a sighting, then i'll PM you for a specific location just to keep the scalpers guessing.

If I see him would the New Port Richey area be out of your way?

Noble, I see now what you mean about the scalpers. Shortly after I made my post I went back up to Wally World to get some pet food and low and behold one of the friggin scalpers I see all the time at TRU was there scoping the Transformers aisle. She left to get someone to get the 3 off the top shelf.....
So when she walked to the otherside to see if anyone was coming I snatched the 3 left and walked off with them. I waited until she left and put them on the top on the otherside.
I've seen this same lady leave with tons of stuff before.

Yepp....
Told ya scalpers were amongst us. J-ville has more scalpers then you think. About once a week on my days off, I do midnight runs to a Wally World. I watch them bring the pallets off the truck and onto the floor... Scalpers come out of the woodworks, man.
I'm not so sure I'm comfortable going back to that Wally World anymore... Last time I was there I was confronted by an employee about "being in the store everyday and never buying anything."
Watch out for a woman in street clothes... Kinda hefty, got black curly hair that's always sticking up like some animal died on her head and really big, googly eyes. She's one of them there "undercover" loss prevention specialists.
Apparently, the curse of the collecter... Leaving a store without a purchase every day for two weeks straight is considered odd behavoir...
