Welcome aboard Lazy!
Alhambra Target has nothing new, just whole blunch of Allspark Scouts & Legends 2pk, Real Gears, etc. There's one Premium Series Leader Megatron, I passed it up because there's a rip on box window.

Re: California Sightings.
San Jose, CA Walmart on Story Road - TF: Animated
I bought one of every one they had this morning but there was more left when I left. No endcaps or fancy displays, just tucked in among the movie-formers.
The score:
Cybertron Megs
Starscream
Grimlock
Bulkhead
Lugnut
Blackarachnia
Rachet
Bumblebee



Update: I went back to the same Walmart at San Jose, CA Story Road later 06/01/08 at around 9:30 Pacific time. I figured there might be something else out due to re-stocking or store recovery.
I found Prowl:

When I left it was pretty picked over. There were 3 Bulkheads and 1 Starscream left. I searched the other toy sections for mis-placed items, but nothing. I will check again at that location tomorrow.

Walmart Baldwin Park:
ANIMATED, ANIMATED, ANIMATED!
As reported above Animated is out at California Walmarts. After reading the earlier posts I decided to cruise the 24 HR. Baldwin Park Walmart (its down the street from my house, hooray!) There were 4 or 5 cases of deluxe figures and 4 cases of voyager figures...I asked the lady who was stocking other toys if she would be kind enough to crack theese babys open for me and she did, thank you! She also informed me that all these cases shipped Friday too Cali and that depending on how close or far a store is to the distribution center all Walmarts should have them within a day or two.
I picked up 1 deluxe Bumblebee, 1 deluxe Prowl, 1 voyager Starscream and 1 voyager Grimlock...I usually buy two of each (1 for display, 1 for MISB) but decided to wait till everyone gets a fair shot...though I might just swing by tomorrow and double-up...So if your in the area hit up the BP Walmart, its open 24 hrs...get there before the scalpers do!

Awesome, just what I was looking for. Did they have Grimlock or any of the Voyagers? I already have all of Wave 1 and I'm looking for mostly Wave 2 and 3 stuff.

Re: California Sightings.
I had to work tonight but I read the forum and had my sister make a run to Wal-Mart in Duarte. She picked up Lockdown, Starscream, Prowl, Megatron, Ratchet, and Blackarachnia. My sister said that they had a lot of Ratchets, Blackarachnia, Lockdown, and a few Prowls. After work I hit the Wal-Mart in Panorama City and the only figure that they had was Bulkhead. They are nice looking figures especially Starscream
, I enjoyed opening them
. If anyone sees Prime or bumblebee please leave a post. Thanks.

Did some of the thread get erased? It skips from June 08 to earlier this week. Very odd

I found Silverstreak and Sideswipe last night at Duarte Wal-Mart. They still had a few when I left. They were near the door. If anyone sees Ironhide please leave a message.

Re: California Sightings.
Finally found the latest wave of Classics Delux in southbay San Diego. Picked up Sideswipe at Walmart, most everything else was cleaned out though. Definitely like the rollback to 7.77 on delux figures. Sideswipes paint applications were correct in reference to the weapons paint and the fact that they painted the whole engine intake metallic, bonus!! This is by far the best (Universe) Classics delux so far, if you see it, grab it.

Saw TF: A Bli9tzwing in the Winchester BLVD. San Jose TRU. Left it there too since I'd already got it. Go pick it up if you don't have him. He was there at noon today, only one that I saw.

ULTRA MAGNUS - 1 left in Newark (Newpark Mall) Target
...cause I bought the other one that was there.
Heads up...this was round 6:30 tonight, and I hid the other one behind a Leader Megs on the bottom shelf.

Bad economy, lonely down is San Diego as well. Most Cali's on Seibertron live in the LA area, from what I've seen.
