Oh my. I'm so sorry. >_< I'm an idiot.

Hermitage PA, near the Ohio border, about 60 miles north of Pittsburgh.

Sorry...

This has given me a chance to update though...

Bumblebee ('77) VS. Barricade ("First Encounter") 2-Pack x 1 (Yes, 17 of them sold! This one hasn't because the box is battered really bad and the figures are slightly contorted, but neither one is broken...so it'll sell.)

F.A.B.s:

Barricade x2
Blackout x1
Bumblebee x0
Frenzy x2
Megatron x2
Optimus Prime x0

Optimus and Bumblebee are the clear winners of this line...

Flash Bang x1
Quick Bow x1
Tight Shot x1

Notes: Voyager Class Optimus Prime x4, Voyager Class Megatron x4, two full cases of Movie Robot Heroes. (unknown what the number of figures is, don't know what the assortment's amount is, inside the cases.)

Slowly starting to restock and fill the shelves people. Looks like the drought (while not completely over) is starting to show signs of coming to an end finally.

At least one case of G1 Starscream and G1 Jazz.

This was at the Target at Mt Nebo point, which is about 10 miles north of Pittsburgh. There are two other Targets within about 5 miles of this one, and several others that are not a very long drive from there. I'd check them all.

Oh and I got them to bring them to me from the stock room, so they may not be on the shelves yet.

The Hermitage Wal Mart had a slew of Movie deluxe figures, I counted atleast eight '08 Bumblebee's. The shelves were full of Longarms, Bonecrushers, Brawls, Dreadwings, Dropkicks, Scorponoks & Swindles.

There was also an end cap FULL of Cybertron Primus.

Hey! Another local! Cool!

Welcome to Seibertron. WARNING: SEIBERTRON CONTAINS NUTS!

The Walgreens on 9th and Market in Philadelphia is stocked up with knock-off G1 combiner sets. They have Devastator (in Green and Purple!), Bruticus (lost of tan and green), Superion (mostly white) and Defensor (in mostly red and white).
I would imagine that the whole chain has them, but this is the only one I've been to lately.
AND they're three for twelve bucks!

That's not bad actually!

Too bad it's not the multicolored bootleg of Devastator that Walgreens used to carry years ago. The quality is better, and you get every single accessory. *sighs*

You get most of them! I think that one or two of the individual guns are missing or wrong, but you do get two drill missiles, Mixmaster's double missile. all of Devastator's gestalt kibble and his gun.
I have to warn you though, The actual quality is pretty low. They're hardly worth looking at in individual robot mode.
The manager was really annoyed that he had to get the ladder to get the sets down off of the top of a browner for me. He probably didn't expect to have to deal with that until Christmas season.

I'll have to go back for specific numbers but Butler has a decent amount of the following:

Deluxe- Dreadwing, Bonecrusher, Dropkick, Payload, And Longarm.

Voyager - Megatron, Thundercracker, Rescue Ratchet

Robot Replicas - Wave 2 and Wal-Mart exclusive 2 pack

Titanium 3 inch - Movie Jazz, Blackout, Movie Bumblebee, Galvatron, Thundercracker

T.E.C.H. - Lots, it's not moving...

Cyberslammers, and fast action battlers as well...

About the same as Butler Wal-mart, but does have 4 of the Blackout/ Skorponok 2 packs, and a few Legend 6 packs, plus some Cybertron Primus and Metroplex and maybe 8 titanium War Within 2 packs!

DON'T BUY THESE! They are made of the lowest quality plastic and break easily. But if you want a cheap set of Combiners you can't beat it. The Wal-greens on Center Ave in Pittsburgh has a lot of these (Constructicons, Aerialbots, Combaticons, Protectobots)
