Awesome find, thanks for the heads up. I hadn’t had the chance to look but hoping too this week.

Anyone looking for Seige Thundercracker or Studio Series #44 OP, the Target in Chester had them.

Just found WFC-S65 Classic Animation Optimus Prime and WFC-S66 Classic Animation Megatron at Walmart (1504 N Parham Road Richmond, VA). They have a large 35th anniversary endcap display with 3 more Optimus Primes and 4 more Megatrons, along with Soundblaster, Thundercracker, Springer, and several others

Sweet, thanks for the heads up!

You're welcome!

If you're looking for them, this is a good place to get them. The Walmart at Short Pump and the one on Forest Ave. didn't have any.

Finally spotted the 35th anniversary Siege Transformers. They where at the Walmart off of Iron Bridge Road in Chester. The had plenty (see pics). Don’t think they will run out of Bluestreak.

Happy Hunting,

I guess better late than never. Found three Siege Ratchets at Walgreens in Hopewell. Of course, if you have a Walgreens card, you get him cheaper.

Happy hunting,

Nice find! Thanks for posting that!

Stopped by the Target in the Commonwealth shopping center, off of Hull street (360), then had one Apeface and 2 Crosshairs. Didn’t see anything else!

Happy Hunting

While really nothing new here, thought I would share this. For those who might still be looking for Siege Springer or Thundercracker, the Walmart in Colonial Heights has them. In addition they have plenty of the 35th anniversary Megatron, OP, Soundblaster and Bluestreak, to include Studio Series 44 OP. Of course there are a few others that I did not mention.

Again, nothing new but for those who are still looking!

I was in the Portsmouth area today, on my way back home, stopped at a Target in the Chesapeake Square, spotted these guys. They had plenty. Haven’t seen anything else.

Happy Hunting,

Thanks SGM! I ended up ordering those online a couple months back, because I was worried they weren't going to show up in the stores.

I just found Studio Series 54 Megatron at the Walmart on Carl D Silver Parkway in Fredericksburg, but no signs of Mixmaster

News Credits: 3 · by **SGMLordMirage** » Tue Dec 17, 2019 7:35 pm

Your welcome, I was beginning to wonder myself. Wow, you found Megatron. I am anxious to see him and MIxmaster in the store. I haven’t went to far out to try and find them. I may look over the next couple of days. I am headed back home to Missouri for my Christmas leave, so I am sure i will look in some stores there.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

I happened to be in Fredericksburg, which is why I found him there. I'll be stopping by a couple of Walmarts over the next few days, and if I find either of them, I'll make sure to post them in this thread.

Thank you, and happy holidays to you as well!

Got lucky, spotted Studio Series 53 Mixmaster and 54 Megatron at a Walmart in Chesterfield, off of Lake Harbor DR and Hull Street.
They only had one of each, I only snagged Mixmaster.

Happy Hunting,

Very nice finds!! How is Mixmaster? Is he worth picking up? I'm not usually a fan of the Bayformers, but I do want to be able to put together a Devastator

News Credits: 3 · by **SGMLordMirage** » Wed Dec 18, 2019 5:38 pm

To be honest, his robot mode is not the greatest. I almost want to say his original version is better but thats my 2 cents.
Vehicle mode is not bad and for me as well, I am just curious to see how this is going to be for the final Devastator look. For that sake, I think most people will get him. I will say this, while I am trying to put him in vehicle mode, the mixer drum is a pain. Everything has to be in the right place.

Otherwise it is simple transformation.

Megatron looked though!

UPDATE

Alittle patience goes along ways and watching a video review to make sure everything is going right!
:-D

Yes, vehicle is on point, wish there was a Decepticon logo on the mixer drum but hey!

I thought as much about the robot mode. The videos/pictures didn't look very promising. However, his vehicle mode did though, and thankfully you've confirmed.

I'm actually surprised about Megatron.. he's not as bad as some previous versions, and he has a few things that I think are better than the MPM-8 version (e.g. hands, backpack)

News Credits: 3 · by **SGMLordMirage** » Wed Dec 18, 2019 8:49 pm

Here he is in vehicle mode and with his Devastator head. For some reason I thought the head would be a little bigger, perhaps. I am assuming he will look a lot better combined.

I ended up ordering Mixmaster from Amazon, and I agree with your assessment. I'm definitely going to display him in either alt mode or as the fully combined Devastator.

On a side note, I just found the G1 Reissue Astrotrain at the Walmart on N Parham Road. I think $49.67 is too much for him, but I was happy to see him on the shelf.

News Credits: 3 · by **SGMLordMirage** » Mon Dec 30, 2019 7:19 pm

That’s sweet. I remember get Astrotrain for a Christmas gift back in the day. Not sure I wold pay 50 dollars for him now but who knows.

Glad you got Mixmaster coming, kind of sucks you had to rely on Amazon. Ive been back home in Missouri on leave and have spotted both him and Megatron at some stores. I still haven’t bought Megatron or Spinister.

Happy New Year to you!

I will be back in VA, on the 3rd.

Later

I don't mind paying the higher amount, if it means that they'll keep making the reissues.

I got Mixmaster, along with Soundwave and WWII Hot Rod. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised.. Soundwave is pretty nice in both robot and alt modes (and I'm not big on the movie toys)

Thank you! Happy New Year to you too! Safe travels!

News Credits: 3 · by **SGMLordMirage** » Wed Jan 01, 2020 8:57 pm

So you got Soundwave and Hotrod from Amazon as well? How is Hotrod? I know I want him, guess i need to see Soundwave in person before I choose.

Your welcome and thank you!

If anyone is looking for new Cyberverse figures, Wlamart in Chesterfield off of HWY 10, they had Hotrod, Bumblebee, and Megatron.
Side note, they had two SS-54 Megatron!

Happy hunting
