Working in north BTR today. Spotted 1 Crosscut, 1 Nightbeat, 2 Jhiaxus and 2 Windblades at the Walmart on Oak Villa.

Mid-day traffic is a beast, but sounds worth it to me.

Amazingly still there! Thanks for the heads up. I had written these guys off as BBTS orders.

Two of each left if anyone's still interested.

On a side note I'm digging Windblade. She's fidgetty as all get out, but a lot of fun.

Not so much an area report but I received my Arcee and Chromia from ebay today and MAN Arcee IMHO is everything I have waited for... Chromia is not bad, looks like a light cycle from tron and is a heavy retool of the Arcee figure from TF Prime. When she is released do not hesitate to pick them up especially Arcee.

There are some reports of her being spotted in NJ. Keep your eyes peeled!

I've heard good things about Arcee. They are both buy on sight.

Guess it's time to start lunchtime hunts again. Cary, whatever you don't buy, shove behind some Aoe toys and I'll do the same of I spot her!

Sounds like a plan. I'll be working in the Walker area next week, so i'll stalk out the Walmart.

Brainstorm is being spotted in the wild as well!

It'd be great if Brainstorm made it to Target before Nov 4th. Still got that cartwheel 30% coupon burning a hole in my pocket.

I'll ask, he's popping up on a Facebook group that I'm on.

Already had plans to get Arcee when she showed up, but that's good news CB. I read they've been spotted in Cali...so I'd wager seeing her around these parts around the end of November.

BTR TRU was a desolate wasteland of Doubledealers and Blitzwings and the Seigen and O'Neal walmarts were not much better. Anyone ever consider buying out a store of shelf warmers, keeping your receipt and waiting for restock day to do a return/exchange? LOL.

No but I've fixed the pegs at several Wakmarts in hopes they might reorder legends/deluxes. :BANG_HEAD:

Ha! I was doing that at 14 trying to hide Retrax's! I may.. also have hidden shelf-warmers behind stuffed animals at Target....

Just a check in for "old" stuff. If anyone is looking for the last wave of legends or deluxes; the DS Walmart has a few Gears and Acidstorms left and 2 Crosscuts, 2 Windblades, 1 Jhiaxus & 1 Nightbeat.

I just grabbed one of the Nightbeats. It's my first experience with this mold. I have to say, like it a lot. I'm glad I waited and didn't get another Bee.

I was just about to post this as well, we much have just crossed paths. I picked up windlass to check out but decided not to get her.

That's funny.

Well I really like her, but she is real fidgety in both modes. Bot is the stronger mode. I had a hard time getting her to balance the way I wanted her to stand because her heels fold in way to easily.

I even like her alt mode. Weapon storage kinds kills it a bit, but it's always fun when they integrate it more than just pegging into the side.

The reprolables for her looks great. If I'm ever find the patience to attempt stickers, that set is in the list.
